Now that we are all SO close...what do you still have left to do?

I am 99.9% ready...bags packed and all his clothes are washed and ready but I still have a couple things left to do.

1. Get Big Bro/Sis shirts for the older kids
2. Finish up getting gifts for Charlie's Birthday ( he is getting a Wii and I have to get a few games)
3. Make sure to make a small list for MIL when she is with the kids
4. Clean the house...again.

Today we're getting the carseat installed and getting all swings/bouncy seats out of storage and ready. Also need to get baby boy doll gift for DD from baby to give her at hospital. I started to pack my bag yesterday, most things I can't put in the bag until the day I leave because I still need them. Yesterdays' cramps and wierd feelings were a wake-up call for me!!

I do still have to get the car seat in the van, but I figured dh can do that when I am in the hospital.

Finish packing my bag, wash Caleb's coming home outfit (finally found one yesterday!!), buy a lamp for the nursery (gonna break down and buy the expensive Zanzibar one from BRU), maybe get another pedicure/eyebrow wax, pack dogs bags (they're staying w/my mom)...I'm sure there's more, and it's all happening Tues. morning!! YIKES!!!

I really want to be pregnant for at least another week, so I am hoping that since most of everything is done, the baby will stay put.

Here are a few things:

-wrap presents for the older kids while they are in preschool on Monday
-get manicure/pedicure Monday
-get papsan swing from friend on Monday and wash (other swing goes to grandparents house)
-dentist appointment on Wednesday
-Carly swim lessons on Wednesday
-hair appointment on Thursday
-Dr. appointment on Friday
-Carly's first ever haircut on Saturday (donating to Locks of Love)

We still need to install the baby car seat, but that will be done by my dh while I am in the hospital.

Ahhh I plan to get my nails/brows and hair done the week of my c-section... can't go to the hospital with Dino feet.

Get my haircut and dyed, clean the bassinet up, and go grocery shopping for my cousin who will be watching Jack while we are at the hospital.
I still can't believe I check in tomorrow!!!!!

Carseat in car( DH's job)
Put some stuff in attic( DH's job)

I guess all I really have to do is get a pedicure! I have the bags packed and just waiting for Chloe to decide when she wants her birthday!

Definitely make a small list to put on TOP of your bag, listing the things that you have not packed yet and still need to put in there... in case you're in too much pain and DH has to do it

I still have to:

-Reprint my birth plan since I added a few things
-Keep up the housecleaning
-Would LOVE to reverse the handles on the fridge (it opens the wrong way), but I doubt it'll get done
-Put 2 boxes of BOOKS into the attic
-Buy D batteries and wash the swing cover, in case we use the swing

-Wait for my Nekkie Blankie to be made and arrive

And print out some Bible verses really huge on paper to read/see while in labor. To help keep me focused. And tape them to the bathroom wall

I think really the only thing left to do is get some clothes together for my 2 younger ones to either stay with my mom or their aunt or uncle.

I have NOTHING else to do, which is making this waiting horrible! Atleast last week I had last minute stuff to get together to keep me busy. Aside from normal household chores everything is ready. All our bags are packed and in the van. His car seat is in the van. I do need to buy some snacks, but I will just do that as I grocery shop. I'm sure I'll be at the store again before he's born. I would like to go get a pedi before hand, but we'll see if that happens!

sunnymw · #14 (**permalink**) 07-07-2008, 08:21 AM

Ugh, the pedi thing. I have a pedi, but I'm utterly discontent with him and his care of DS1. So we'll see how that pans out. Still looking for a good family doc for ALL of us, since FPs are less likely to hassle you about no vax/extended nursing. But honestly, I'm not too horribly worried about it. No big rush to head to a pedi right after the birth or anything, the longer the better unless there's a major malfunction

The never ending chore of cleaning house.
