[rungirlrun]

I've been rocking my to-do list lately! Unfortunately, a lot of it relates to moving and not baby prep, but I guess it all needs to be done.

Done since the last check-in:
-buy mega pads and junky underwear for postpartum bleeding
-found a photographer and scheduled a tentative date for newborn photos
-wash nursing clothing
-complete birth plan
-forward mail and update new address with a few places
-scheduled junk pickup for old junk we don't want to move
-started packing
-got started on anniversary present for parent's 40th wedding anniversary (it's in Sept, but I want to finish it before the baby comes)

To-Do
-go to Goodwill, finish packing, and move July 3 (and everything that comes with setting up a new house)
-change address with a million different places
-resize cloth diapers
-wash pump accessories and bottles
-find and clean baby toys
-pack hospital bag
-install carseats
-actually buy dresser, bed, and chair for DS's room (hope what we liked is actually in stock at IKEA), otherwise, start over and find new stuff
-buy big brother present from baby, have DS pick out present for baby

I'm definitely stressed about the move, but fortunately, all the other to-do stuff is pretty small and won't take too long. I'll feel much better in a few weeks (assuming baby is not here!).

[ellebelle]

Everything is pretty much done except washing bottles/pump parts and getting a big sister gift for DD. Now I just have to stay on top of the regular cleaning.

[littlesthobo]

I wish there was a company that would come to my house, declutter and organize my stuff, deep clean, and complete some small handyman projects.

[cavewmn]

We got Wyatt's rainbow shirt done!

Also got the hospital bag packed 99%. If the other things don't make it in. It's OK!

Quoting myself because why not? Lol

Cleaned the humidifier today, did all the cupboards, and my aunt came by to pick up the curtains to hem them. I think I won't bother with the pnp until we actually need it - it'll just take up too much space. Blocks shelves and decals are nbd. Feeling good

[katelou]

I have gotten so much done since last time! It feels so good!

- crib is assembled (replacement part FINALLY came)
- curtains are hung
- new crib sheets and crib skirt are on (both from the clearance rack at PBK and they are perfect!)
- nursery chair upholstery is cleaned
- car is vacuumed
- diapers are on their way from Amazon, and baby wash and diaper cream are bought


need to do:
- get out a few more items from the basement (carrier, sling)
- make sure breast pump still works
- figure out best configuration for 2 car seats in both cars, install bases
- buy a few more supplies - wipes, breast pads, breastmilk storage bags

I'm not doing a big 'big sister' gift but I am stockpiling some new things I ca pull out if (when, haha) she's driving me nuts- so far I have a make-a-face sticker book, a Frozen activity and coloring binder, and some new books. I'm definitely on the lookout for more though.

[rungirlrun]

katelou won't your insurance provide another pump for free? I'm keeping my old one just in case but got a brand new one.

[cabbagecabbage]

katelou I'm planning to stock up on Melissa and Doug sticker pads, reusable stickers, and the paint with water books that are reusable. All their activity books are 5.99
