ellebelle did you decide not to take it off the market after all?

We were getting a lot of showings last week so the realtor urged us to keep it on the market.  Of course there are no showings this week now.  The whole thing just makes me want to cry so I'm burying my head in the sand for the next week at least.

I've been meaning to do this for weeks but keep remembering at non business hours. Today I called a medical supply company and ordered my insurance covered breast pump. It was so simple! This was not a thing covered by insurance 4 years ago, so I feel like it's Christmas (in 7 to 10 business days).

[harlowjune1984]

To Do:
Get breast pump
Buy carseat
Buy new vehicle (hopefully next month)
Put together the nursery
Finish last 6 weeks of work.
Train replacement on the final week.
Pack hospital bags
Buy the rest of the items we need

Accomplished:
Pretty much nothing.

You've inspired me! I haven't bought my pump, but I did get the documentation on what I need to do to get reimbursed for when I buy it. Baby steps with this thread.

Okay I am starving myself waiting for this GTT so I'm making myself sit down to do a to-do list so I have other things to focus on.

To-Do:

Get baby girl clothes/swings/bassinet back from friend (this weekend)
Move dresser and crib from DD's room to guest room/nursery
Move daybed to DD's room

Call insurance company for breast pump paperwork

I'm sure there's more for the to-do list and I have very little accomplishments but we'll get there. I'm way less worried about all this stuff this time around.
