We went with this...

The movement pad was more trouble than it was worth, so dont bother. Yea, youll be freaked out wondering if the kid is alive, but when the kid sleeps through the night, you wont wanna be woken up by a false alarm at 4am. Plus, the kid will be sleeping bedside in your room for like 3months anyway.
The temp readout and warning was nice, woke me up in the middle of the night a couple of times to let me know my heat went out at 2am. That was fun swapping out an ignitor at 2am.
Rechargeable, cause you dont have to unplug it when you go out on the patio or to the kitchen to cook.
After 3yrs of use and I think 2yrs by the previous owner, the screens are dead on the receivers, but they still pick up audio.
2 receivers is a must IMO, one in your bedroom, the other for your living room.
Dont cheap out, or youll be listening to static all day.
I'd prob go video monitor if we have another one. Mostly so when they are my kids age now (3), i can make sure she isnt trying to kill herself or the dog while she is playing by herself in her room.
Last note, craigslist, once you pick out a monitor, check craigslist. That one was $150 new 3 yrs ago. Scooped it up on craigslist for $60.
Oh, and CONGRATS!
