How many weeks until your due date? 2 weeks exactly.

What's left on your to do list? Install the car seat, but DH can do that while I'm in the hospital. LO will be taking DS1's spot in the car and he'll be going to the third row. I'd rather him stay in the second row where I can reach him as long as possible. I'm not sure I could fit my huge ass back there right now to clip him in. :P

What items are you working on this week? Impatiently waiting for baby!!

What were you able to cross off your checklist this past week? My diaper bag came yesterday, I finished washing the bottles & breast pump parts, finished hanging art and stuff in the nursery, finished sewing the crib & bassinet sheets, bought the last few small things like pads and witch hazel. We're ready.

What items are you working on this week?
I've started packing a bag. Meaning I found an empty bag and shoved a list in it

What were you able to cross off your checklist this past week?
Finished up my newborn diaper stash and set a date for a semi-surprise shower.

How many weeks until your due date? 3wks 1day

What's left on your to do list? Too much to list.

What items are you working on this week?
Finishing thank you cards, finish packing hospital bag, install carseat, my master bath and bedroom are in desperate need of cleaning, buy breastfeeding and baby supplies (butt paste, gripe water, nipple cream, milk storage bags, etc.) Really need to move a chest that's next to our bed so there room for the bassinet too.

What were you able to cross off your checklist this past week? Some much neededed personal upkeep (haircut/color, pedi, groomed le plume). A couple loads of laundry. Cleaned the kitchen. Started a lot of things like packing the bags and writing thank you cards, but didn't really finish anything.

Finish up the remodel. Our bedroom is basically done but because SO's parents are away, we cant move in yet. Sigh.

Getting the stroller! We found the one we wanted on craigslist! And we already took it for a test drive with DD and her little cousin.

What's left on your to do list? 

Finishing some cleaning and organizing projects in several rooms (nothing critical).

Installing baby's car seat-we will wait on this until baby is born or right before because having the second row seat folded down in our Odyssey makes it really easy for me to buckle my two girls who are in the back even with my huge belly.

Just some cleaning/organizing in my girls' bedroom and our office. Setting up a temporary sleeping/changing area for baby in our bedroom.
