Babies skin tends to wash out very quickly with flash so I would have to half support DD's 2p's worth. While the on camera flash can be defused its far easier to turn a flash guns head to use bounce light and attach defuses and produces nicer light. Another pro for a flash gun is that it can freeze action so your images are sharper with a baby that will not stay still.
I would however say external hard drive first as losing pictures is worse. I use my internal HDD as the primary store of photos and an external over network HDD as the back up. Backup software (which there are free versions off) updates the backup on the external every week or daily if I have been adding or editing a lot. I used to backup to my online servers but that takes ages when your shooting in RAW so thats not an option anymore but if your shooting in JPG for now you could use online backup. Shooting in raw is far better though.
