QOTD: What is the biggest thing that you have left on your list to get done before baby arrives?

Me:  I would like her to stay put til after Christmas, I want Elliot to have one last Christmas all to himself.  Prep wise I think we are ready... I just have to pack bags and since I plan on laboring at home for as long as possible , I will have time then.

QOTD:  We need to organize the nursery.  We have the crib together but that's about it.  There are stacked boxes full of clothes, toys, toiletries, diapers, etc.  They all need to find a home somewhere in the nursery!  Tomorrow is my last day of work so that is definitely at the top of my agenda!

QOTD: We need to finalize day care (choose one of 2 great options!) and pick a pediatrician.

 Oh, and choose a name for this adorable little girl too!!

i don't think anything big is left-just organizing the house a bit more-making sure people are ready to take our daughter when we have to head to the hospital etc.  but otherwise pretty much ready to go

I literally don't think I have anything left to do! Nursery has been ready for weeks, his clothes have been washed forever (and I wash them as I get new ones now), I packed the hospital bags on Tuesday except for a couple things I'm getting for Christmas, he's our first so no other kids to think about, we have a pediatrician, and I'm going to be a SAHM, so no daycare.

I'm really Type-A, so I just couldn't wait to do anything! I'm so ready for him to be here.

Most everything is done to prepare for our little girl's arrival.  We just need to move the bassinet into our room, and move the swing into the living room.  Both are still in the nursery right now.  DH's family is coming for Christmas, so I would like to wait just a while longer before moving everything around.

I finally got all of her clothes and things washed up earlier in the week.

The nursery. Which includes probably just buying a crib at this point (my sister said I could have hers, but her DS is still in it, and they haven't gotten him a new bed yet).

Jen&Louie

I don't think we really have anything big left to do that is a necessity before LO arrives.  Just a whole lot of small things: installing the car seats, washing more clothes, picking up the glider and having MIL recover the cushions, shopping for what's left on our registry (tonight), etc.

I still have to pack my hospital bag- I am going to hopefully finish that tonight here- I am going to install the carseat this weekend- I have to take the dog to the vet and have to put her huge kennel in my car so I am going to wait so that I don't have to put the carseat in and take it back out and then put it back in- otherwise I think I have everything pretty much squared away- I would like to get the changing table before baby comes but I am planning on spending Christmas money on that so hopefully baby doesn't come until after I get that set up too!!

We need to install car seat, put together pack-n-play, and finish writing thank you notes! Then we are all ready to go! (oh and pack hospital bag)

What is the biggest thing that you have left on your list to get done before baby arrives?

The biggest, or most important would be to get the carseat/travelsystem put together. But that is just the first in a long list of crap I need to do. If this baby comes before 40 weeks, i'm screwed! LOL!

QOTD: What is the biggest thing that you have left on your list to get done before baby arrives?

Oh gosh, I was thinking about this today.  I still have lots to do!  Most importantly, I need to pack my hospital bag and get the car seat installed and inspected.  We still need to put the swing and bouncy seat together, de-tag and wash some clothes for the baby, and my mom needs to finish making the crib sheets and crib skirt :-)  Whew.  This weekend I am focusing on the car seat and hospital bag.

Sterilize all of the bottles and paci's and finish packing our bags. We're still using the things we're going to pack so that will probably be last minute. I have the list all typed out though. 

justrachet

We're doing really well with the preparations! Our to-do list right now is: install the carseat, do 1 more load of laundry, and sterilize bottles/pacifiers/other stuff. We also have a short shopping list that will probably end up being about $150, but I want to wait till after Christmas to buy those things because it wears me out to shop with crazy Christmas shoppers. The hospital bag isn't completely packed - just a few things to throw in last minute.
