The One Month Countdown

My pregnancy road is rapidly nearing the end. Today marked the beginning of my last month... should Morenna come neither early nor late, but on her due date. Highly unlikely. :-)

But with this one month countdown comes the urgent reminder of all that I have left to do to get ready. Here's the list as it currently stands:

  • Pick a pediatrician
  • Wash all the new baby clothes
  • Finish decorating the nursery - low priority (pictures in the post below, if you haven't seen them)
  • Write thank-you notes for all the sweet baby items
  • Pack the diaper bag
  • Stock the changing table (diapers - check; soap - check; need: wipes, etc.)
  • Pack my hospital bag
  • Complete the childbirth education class
  • Freeze up some meals
  • Train my replacement at work and submit employment paperwork
  • Sleep, sleep, sleep!!!
Will all these things get done? Probably not. But I sure am gonna try... especially with the last one. :-)

  1. FYI -- These were all on my list before Lucy was born, and I still haven't done half of them, lol. ;-) Not to discourage you... but to say that some of them may not be entirely as crucial as you think. But good luck!

  2. YAY for the countdown! I can't wait until you can hold your little precious baby girl in your arms! Get the wipes and the hospital bag... other than that it can pretty much wait. :)

    (And there is no need for soap... you can just wash that baby in water :)

    Keep us updated!
