What is on your to-do list before your baby is born? Here are a FEW of mine:

• Premake meals for after baby arrives
• Finish Nursery
• Get Carpets cleaned
• Dogs Groomed

Have some meals made (doesn't matter if DH makes them), get the cats bathed and paw-de-cured, have DH do the room organization (I'm banned due to a back injury) and get maternity pics of the Belly before baby comes out.

Well, I'm scheduled for induction day after tomorrow ---wow!--so my plan tomorrow is OB appt, bank, finish packing, and clean house so it's at least presentable to visitors!

• paint 6 paintings for nursery
• finish nursery (replace light fixture, window coverings, find places to store all the bouncers, swings, playmats, etc.)
• assemble crap like bouncers, swing, etc.
• buy last of registry items
• buy nursing bra & tank
• install carseat bases
• wash baby clothes
• take c/s & meds class, take infant care class
• sleep

hmmm...that doesn't sound like nearly enough.  I'm sure I'm forgetting loads of stuff.

I had a few minor things left on my list (all the stuff that I figured I would like to do, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if they didn't get done) but I don't think any of them are going to happen, since I sprained my ankle yesterday and can't really get around very well.  Ugh.

So my answer would be...go into labor.  LOL

- Buy 2nd car seat base

- Pick-up glider (when it comes in this week) and put it together.

- Buy stuff for hospital bag (nursing bra/tank, overnight pads, underwear, robe, travel size containers for shampoo/conditioner, etc.).

- Buy bouncer (MIL's friend said he was going to buy it for us...hasn't happened yet, so we're going to buy one and keep it in box just to have if he doesn't)

- Organize our bedroom to put Pack 'n Play by my side of the bed.

- Wash blankets and crib/PNP sheets for baby

- Buy a couple SwaddleMe blankets/Sleep sacks

- And wait....hopefully only a couple weeks.

Finally everything is falling into place-the dogs went to the groomer today, our hospital bags are packed, everything is put together-as well as batteries in everything, his clothes/blankets etc are cleaned...so the only major thing on DH to do list now is cleaning the couch, one more quick vacuume & mow the lawn..oh & take my car to be inspected before the month ends! lol.

My list is two pages long...although I have crossed about 1/3 of them off already. I pretty much want to clean out and organize every closet and cabinet in our house (which is a good amount!) and get the yard/garage in great shape, as well as finish some little home improvement projects we have been meaning to do. It's going to be a busy summer!

I think the better question is what is not on my to do list.

Here's what I got just off the top of my head (and this is the short list and not in order)

Touch up paint in kid's room, paint closet, get closet organizer, set up closet organizer.

Buy curtain rods and put up curtains.

Hang artwork in kid's room.

Order mattress.

Hang strip of wall paper in living room and paint living room.

Pass licensure exam.

Find a job to start on Sept 1.

Buy all of the baby necessities (all we have is 6 onesies, 6 bottles, and 2 pacifiers - yes that's right folks, we don't have a single diaper in this house).

Buy some crib sheets.

Take all of our classes (at least they're all signed up for!).

Clean the house from top to bottom - I'm really hoping for nesting to kick in soon.
