2. Pick nursery furniture
3. Pick a carseat and stroller
4. Settle on a name
- Clean out the guest room (which will become the nursery) and office (which will become office/guest room)
- A bunch of small home improvement projects that we've been putting off
- Set up the nursery
- Meet with a financial planner
- Meet with a lawyer to put together our wills
- Finish planning and go on the babymoon (just a long weekend, but it still counts!)
- Sign up for and go to the pregnancy classes my insurance offers
- Choose the last few items for our registry (car seat, which version of the RNP, diaper bag...)
- Arrange for maternity and newborn photos
- Make a list of things my parents can help with or do when they are here after baby is born in case they start driving me nuts and I need them out of the house
ETA to put in pretty bullets- Try to get a house and the complete the steps required
- Create a baby registry
- same as @carries2018, use up old foods and restock with new foods
- Take hospital tour
- Install carseat...aka buy a carseat
- Try to exercise a little bit, at least
- Read about birthing methods
- Pack to visit family
All for now that I can think of... there's so much more but that's on my radar.1. Nursery (there's a lot to this, but mostly decor)
2. Go through all of the baby clothes we saved from DD, figure out what I'll use for this LO and get rid of the rest
3. Go through other things (bottles, wash cloths, towels, blankets, etc.) left over from DD and repeat above, buy new whatever is necessary
4. Check old infant car seats, make sure they're still good, and install into our cars
5. Buy new car for me, switch DH to my old one
6. Few bigger purchases: sit/stand stroller, new sling wrap, Moses basket, video monitor
7. DH's "honey-do" list for the house: refinish hardwood floors (just a small area where we recently ripped up carpet), paint our bedroom dresser, install fence
8. Plan and prep freezer meals for when LO arrives
9. Pack diaper bag and hospital bag
I'm sure there's more but this is what I have currently!
2. Buy second carseat
3. Buy crib & mattress
4. Stock up on diapers
5. Settle on names
6. Tell boss I'm pregnant - I'm so scared to do this. It gives me serious anxiety.
2. Move DS into said toddler room (ie: transition from crib to bed... eeekkksss)
3. Touch up, clean, reorganize nursery and get new closet system (we half-assed the nursery when we moved into our new house)
4. Turn DS's carseat forward facing
5. Arrange for birthing unit tour
6. Go through all the infant stuff - see what I want to buy new vs. reuse vs. get rid of
7. Start walking on the treadmill nightly (or if I wake up early) - started last night during The Bachelorette
8. Really make an effort at freezer meals
9. Create an on-call schedule to watch DS when I go into labor (brilliant idea @carries2018)
10. Talk about planning wills
11. Talk about godparents again
12. Find prenatal massage places
13. Consider prenatal yoga classes
14. Create a play space for DS's stuff since I don't want infant stuff and DS stuff everywhere like it is now
Thanks for helping me organize my thoughts!

I was just thinking about how we had this thread last time and it gave me so many good ideas (plus made me realize how unorganized I really am lol)
1. Go through baby clothes and get out what we will use with this one (different sex), save for maybe a 3rd or donate
2. Go through baby things – keep, donate, buy
3. Organize baby dresser (planning on splitting DS’s so that half the drawers are for this LO)
4. Put together a diaper caddy specific for a newborn
5. Pack diaper bag and hospital bag
6. Install infant car seat bases
7. Re-read/(finish reading) Inna May books
8. Purge, purge purge – my closet, kitchen, DH’s closet, garage
9. Come up with some sort of organizing system for DS’s toys…they are out of control!
10. Find a new pediatrician
11. Get DS on a daycare waitlist
12. Continue to exercise – I’ve also been trying to find a prenatal yoga class that fits my schedule
-Husband to finish the floor in baby room
-purchase furniture for baby room and decor
-plan out baby shower
-finish school year on a good note.
-organize house better clothes, closets, etc
- sell our rental property in July (which includes any repairs from renting it out) which will enable us to do a lot of home renovations and updates
- buy a new used car!!! Hoping for a chevy traverse or GMC Acadia.
- build shelving in the basement and move all storage to one area so the other area can become a guest room
- move furniture from nursery to new guest room in basement
- finish half of the basement for a family room and guest room. The other half will remain unfinished as storage and laundry room
- new carpet throughout house
- get new windows in the living room
- buy new living room & dining room furniture
- paint nursery & decorate of course!
- change DS's room to be more toddler-friendly
- redo kitchen? Am I dreaming? Hoping this can get done before baby arrives but we'll see lol.
- slowly buy things for baby and build cloth diaper stash
@roo_baby I completely appreciated your pretty bullets!!
@bluejeanbabi05 I'll be stalking this thread for your brilliant list, kthanx!
-Meet with a financial planner
-Update our wills
-Figure out if we'll do a nursery at all since we'll likely move cross-country when baby is ~6mo and if not, how to set up baby space in our room.
-Research and prep freezer meals
-Finish all of the handmade items I want to make as Christmas gifts (and thought I'd have done by June....) and mayyybe finish Christmas shopping before baby arrives
-Purge and organize in the garage
-Sign up for birth & BF classes at my hospital
