Re: To Do List and Accomplishments Check In

  • How many weeks until your due date? 2 weeks left!

    What's left on your to do list? 
    1. Install car seat
    2. Clean diaper bag
    3. Deep cleaning of master bedroom and DS' room
    4. Freezer meals
    5. Packing a box a day for our upcoming move

    What items are you working on this week?
    All of the above... plus now that we closed on a home, I am in charge of getting contractors hired for a few projects we want done on our home before we move in. I am trying to get them all lined up over the next week so that at least the work is scheduled. My dad will be in town for a week after I have the baby so if no one is available to go let the contractors in, he will do it. 

    What were you able to cross off your checklist this past week? 
    I stocked up on food/supplies from Costco, attended my breastfeeding class; bought nursing bras; and cleaned the car out. Now it's ready to just get the car seat installed. 

    I also finally spoke with everyone who might take DS when I go into labor. I have a list of 4 people who can help... my brother and his wife over the weekend... another of my SILs during the day... a friend as back up if that SIL is not available... and a friend who lives a few minutes away if during the night. All over the place but at least I have multiple people to call on if needed.
