Must Do’s –

• Unpack and hang all baby clothes
• Install 2nd Closet rod and organize closet shelves
• Pack birth bag
• Pack labor bag
• Put baby’s car seat in SUV
• Get new batteries for camera

Hope To-Do’s -

• Birth plan
• Stock up on diapers - a friend is letting me borrow her tiny cloth diapers, so yay!
• Purchase a toddler bed for L
• Buy mattress for said toddler bed
• Get L to sleep in toddler bed. I’m really really hoping that I can get L transitioned to her “big girl” bed before the baby comes. She’s shown a lot of interest in the twin bed in her room, so I’m hoping she’ll sleep on this new one when it comes (twin bed is too high)
• Work on potty training with L. I won’t rush it if she doesn’t want to, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed to have only one in diapers. We’ll see!
• Set up the girls’ room. I still need to organize the armoire, organize the book shelves, set up the toddler bed (once it arrives), vacuum, and dust.
• Stock freezer with at least 5 meals, 5 lunches, and 5 breakfasts
• Pack L’s bag for during and after the birth
• Paint kitchen trim and cabinets
• Buy a double stroller
• Buy or acquire a BFing pump
• Finish the top of the quilt. This might be overly ambitious, and isn’t top priority, but it’d be nice to not have it on my mind!
• Plan garden
• Till and Plant garden
• Organize the house in general
• Box L’s clothing that no longer fits and store in attic
• Go through L’s toys and weed out the toys she doesn’t really play with to be given away
• Hang LR photographs
• Hang frames to showcase L’s art in DR
• Assemble bookshelf/toy shelf in LR
• Buy and start seeds indoors for garden
• Organize a section of cabinets for A’s food-items
