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!!!
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!
ReplyDeleteYAY 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. :)
ReplyDelete(And there is no need for soap... you can just wash that baby in water :)
Keep us updated!
