Sounds good to me! Although, about the gloves, they really aren't necessary. Trust me, even if he does snap at you (highly unlikely) it'll feel like somebody flicked you and MAYBE leave a little crescent of pinpricks which probably won't even bleed. Seriously, it feels like getting flicked, when they're little--doesn't hurt at all! It'll shock you and scare you cause of how fast it is, but that's it. Believe me! It's alright.
As for the shirt-well, I've never tried that, but it sounds like a pretty good idea, to me; it'll give him another place to hide and get him used to your scent, I suppose.

And, congratulations on your baby!

edit: also, happy late birthday! feels good to be 18, huh?
