What am I forgetting?

Is there a checklist or something that I can look at of things to do before the baby is born?  I'm likely to be induced next week at 36 weeks due to pre-e and feel really unprepared.  Something is nagging at me that I am forgetting something(s) are need to be done - but I can't think of what.  It's probably just the anxiety of all of this coming to head.

I've pre-registered at the hospital, pre-filled out my info already for my STD, gathered my & the baby's stuff for the hospital (will finish packing completely this weekend), got the pedi :) today - what else?  The nursery is set, everything is washed, etc.  We even have back-up formula should the BF not work out.

    sounds like you're good--do you have a written birth plan and a phone tree list done?

    How about the normal mundane every day tasks?

    • Making sure bills are paid
    • Pantry and fridge stocked
    • Old sheets for the bed in case you bleed

    Congrats!!

    Ahh, good one for the sheets.  I think I may pick up a set from Ross or something that isn't too expensive should that happen.  I really don't have any "old" sheets since we just got our king size bed last year. 

    Most of our bills are paid online, but I will def be sure we're good for the important ones like the mortgage :) 

    I should add - I did look at the checklist on The Bump.com - but it's not too helpful.

    Oh, make sure the fridge is cleaned out and the trash is taken out before you go to the hospital.  Change for the vending machine too.  This is on my list of things to do before we go to the hospital for our c/s.
