Because shortly before our daughter arrived, I ordered a webcam from Amazon. It was here when we got back from the hospital, and it took about 15 minutes of setup to start streaming video via Skype to four grandparents spread across North and South America.

The only hard part? Not scratching myself wrong in the background.
