Hi ladies,
Cannot believe it is almost April! We're nearing the finishing line, ladies. 

What is left on your to-do list?

This is crazy! We have our 4D ultrasound today, I can't wait to see her again. It feels like it's been forever.

We've actually gotten a lot done lately. I have to start washing clothes, and we still need to build up our diaper stash. I'm hoping our dresser is ready soon (we're having a local shop refinish one). H has been putting together all the gear, and I think we have all the basics.

She's gotten much lower in the last week or so, which has been oh so fun for my hips/pelvis.

thanks for keeping this going shandorfml2,

I'm trying to organize everything that needs to be done in the next 5 weeks, assuming that I'll be induced at least a week early. April is going to be busy with DD2's bday and Easter. We only have 3 free weekends until this LO comes.

I'm now on weekly MFM appointments and next week is the last "free" week until the weekly MW appointments start...plus chiro....and other appointments for me and the kids. thankfully I have a pretty flexible work environment.

DH has been motivated this week so the nursery is set up now! We have to clear some junk from the closet but I can actually start washing and putting away clothes and stuff.

I'm done work as of Fri so I'll start working on organizing next week.

We're reusing/repurposing just about everything so we don't have much to do with the room. We finished DS's toddler room (mostly - still needs curtains but I'm ordering from Etsy) a few weeks ago to get him used to a toddler bed. This past weekend I took his mobile, took the hangy things off, and redid it for the slightly different nursery theme we picked (which really only involved some new art and a new bed skirt, kept everything else the same).

I feel like it was a good example of kid 1 vs kid 2 approaches. The first one I sewed little felt stuffed Pixar characters, super detailed, took me three days and lots of effort to make. This time I did a similar thing but with a sun and clouds, and it took me an hour tops, and I still think it's adorable.

We get more efficient, I suppose! Haha.

April is a crazy month! We have DS's bday as well, easter and then c-section on the 21st. Wew.

lastkiss, yay for being done work...I am done April 14th and cannot wait!

irish14, I noticed the same thing lol. DS had the finished themed nursery...this kid will have a place to sleep. lol

The two things this baby will have ready prior to arrival...a carseat to come home in and a place to sleep....poor third kid ;-)

Hopefully we pick a name sooner then later too ;-)

We have to fill out the birth registrations including a name before they'll let us leave the hospital here so we'll have to decide one way or another at that point lol.
