Since my initial list post, Adam and I have been trying to knock it out one by one with more determination! Thank goodness there's someone else here to help me stay on top of everything, especially considering every time I look at the list I feel overwhelmed. (Even though some of it is a little silly.) Today we tried to get as much done as possible, including touring the Labor & Delivery section of the hospital and talking to the nurses, which was actually really exciting and made everything seem that much more real. Thanks to ever reliable youtube, we watched a video on cloth diapering and plan to practice on one of 001's teddy bears this week. (I realize how sad and silly that seems) And last but not least we made a trip to Central Market for L&D goodies and yummy gelato to enjoy while formulating the rest of the weeks plan.
Now...to start coaxing this little girl to show up a little early. As soon as I'm done with this list. ;)
The L&D nurse we spoke with did say there's a full moon on the 12th and "we always seem to fill up alongside the moon..." Hmmm...
1.Washing all Baby Clothes and Linens---why does this seem overwhelming?
2. Having Adam replace her light with a ceiling fan
3.Finding a screen for her room
4. We have NO BABY TOWELS! Worse, I can't commit myself to any because they all seem thin or itchy. I nearly lost it in Target the other night...
5. Clean out, deep clean and wash the car.
6. Clean car needs to be rid of the two spots of bumper sticker residue. (Yes, I know this doesn't affect baby...I can't help it, it's driving me mad)
7. Send out shower thank yous which are now almost two weeks old. Where did I put all my friends addresses?!?
8.Write our birth plan. By Saturday. We are supposed to take this to Bradley class Saturday morning, and to our appointment with the midwives Tuesday. I'm glad to envision and put together an idea of what we'd like, but embarrassed to actually do it and have other people read it. Sad?
9. Finish my scrapbook of our life before baby. I've been stuck completing Christmas for the past 3 months.
10. Catch up her scrapbook and create some pages for once she's here.
11. Make a drop off at Goodwill.
12. Before she's here I NEED the house decorated for the fall/Halloween, or it won't happen and I love holiday decorations! (I know this shouldn't matter...)
13. Why can't I keep our room clean?!
14. I really need to make and execute a shopping list for my "obscure" labor & delivery goods. Things we've had recommended like; honey straws, lolly pops, pads or depends (HA), etc.
15. Pack.our.go.bag.
16. Make some kind of plan for our dogs. What do we do with them when we go into the hospital? Must make a plan.
17. Buy replacement tubing for pump.
18. Sanitize the pump.
19. Order our pre-fold diapers, snappis and wetbag.
20. Call the property manager about that broken closet light...
21. Put the cling sunshades up in the car for the baby.
22. Pre-register for the hospital.
23. Put away all the random things piling up around our house.
24. Exchange Kitri's muzzle for one that fits for night time, or I will kill her when she wakes up the baby.
25. Measure space for blowup mattress and replace our broken one for Mom and Dad.
26. Chiropractor
27. Are we officially set with the pediatrician?
28.Tour the hospital.
