What's left on yours before LO arrives (besides waiting)??
I have: a little cleaning to do around the house, need to start his baby book, update my pregnancy scrapbook, make a living will, and complete two work projects.
Nothing! I'm so bored and I just want her to come already! I'm done with work and I've been sitting around the house watching tv just waiting. There has been really cold weather and snow so I haven't wanted to go out and do anything. If the weather was better I would probably go out and make up things I needed "to do" just to pass the time.
I need to start the baby book, would like to make a few more freezer meals (I have done enough for about a dozen meals right now) and we need to get the car seat inspected to make sure its installed correctly. Other than that, I'm pretty much just waiting on her.
My husband needs to finish her cradle and clean out our car... I need to finish catching up on laundry, finish packing my bag, find a pedi, finish sewing her bedding, finish at least 1 more project @ work and generally just clean my house like maniac.
Last thing need to do is get the glider. Then we are done with everything. We are getting the glider today. These past few weeks I feel like all I do is wait, and wait, and wait, and wait! Oi!
we want a new pole lamp for the nursery and get an air purifier. That is it. We'll update our will after she is born. I already started the baby record book and the PG journel is as up to date as it can get. I would like to get up to date on DS journel.

I think my NEED to do list is basically just finish packing my hospital bag and make sure we don't forget anything.
Of course, my "I'd really like it to be done" list is way longer. I have more laundry I should do, we need to get a piece of plywood and some batteries for our monitor (the angelcare movement one), and I want my house to be clean. All that being said, most of these things can wait and are just more annoying than anything to see left undone!
My baby to do list is done, just waiting and hoping all these contractions are actually doing something besides just keeping me up at night.
My to do list lately is just trying to keep up with regular weekly chores. I've got enough time until my edd that I still need to keep the house clean and chores done so I don't come home from the hospital to a messy house and buckets of laundry. Unfortunately I'm not nearly as motivated to do regular chores as I am to do baby related things!

The nursery is 100% done, so that is good. I need to start making the baby book, pack hospital bags, install car seat, that kind of stuff. I also need to do last minute shopping for the small necessities (bottles, burp clothes etc. we were lucky and got most of the big stuff at the shower, but not the smaller stuff)
This house needs a serious cleaning (I'm embarrassed for our moms to come out when LO is born with the house looking like this) although DH has promised to do it this weekend - how lucky am I?? My to-do list consists of: sit on my butt and relax (maybe with some ice cream) while I still can!!!

Finish the baby book, pack hospital bag, install car seat, give this house a good cleaning, do my last big grocery run, and catch up in all the laundry. The clean house and laundry are wishful thinking. I would love to come home to a clean house but between Dh and 2 boys, can't promise that will happen.

All we have left is to deep clean the house and move a couple things around to accommodate our moms staying here soon. The dr told me specifically in front of husband that I should be sitting on my ass/in bed because of my blood pressure and I should not even be cleaning, only upside to PIH if there is one, ha!
So husband has to finish deep cleaning the condo, set up the futon bedding for my mom, give the pups a good bath this weekend, re-arange some of our bedroom furniture for the bassinet/glider/change table (since my mom is going to sleep in the nursery for the time she is here). Luckily all the important things are done, like we have nothing left we need to buy, the nursery is completed, car seat installed, hospital bags in car, etc. We are pretty ready to go, too bad there is no sign of this baby wanting to come out anytime soon.
We need to clean/wash our cars - hard to do when the weather's so unpredictable. I also want to prep some food, take a load of stuff to Goodwill to get it out of my trunk, and mop. At work, I'm ready

The needs list is done, but I have some work for DH to do (secure handrail, tighten screws on glider, etc) and a couple things on my list that needs tto be done within 2-4 months of baby's birth. I am almost done with my part. I want to sew a crib skirt, but haven't found the right material. Once Riley's here I can finally re-wire the boys' room and paint the room. Luckiy, Riley will be in our room for those first few months, so there was no huge rush to finish the nursery.
