December mommies-to-be, check-in.

Hey ladies,
How is everyone feeling? Time is flying!

What's left on your to-do list?

Although I'm due Dec 29th, I'm really striving to have just about everything ready the first week in Dec., in case I'm early and also so I don't get too crazed around the holidays. My shower is 11/14 and then I'm taking off a full week from work (I have 2010 time to use that I can't use for my maternity leave in 2011) to get the nursery in order and wash all the clothes/bedding. Right now, the furniture is in and the walls are painted--just waiting on the shower for bedding and stuff.

I also have to:
Find a dress for my shower
Attend breastfeeding class at hospital
Take childbirth class (one day class mid-Nov)
Find a pediatrician
Buy any essentials post-shower
Get hospital PJs and nursing bras
Pack hospital bag
Install car seat
Get organized at work for my fill-in

....and I'm sure there's more. What's on your list?

Re: December mommies-to-be, check-in.

Hiiiii!!! I'm starting to seriously feel like CRAPPOLA now. I've been fine up until this point. I can't sleep bc I pee 48787 times a night, my back is absolutely killing me and I am exhausted all the time. I seriously look/feel miserable and I just want him OUT! lol

To Do:
- Buy PJs for the hospital and pack bag
- Take a tour of the hospital
- Take Lamaze - I don't think I'm going to end up doing this though
- Finish the nursery - Almost done!
- Find a Pediatrician
- Decide on Daycare for when I go back to work

I'm sure there's more, but my mind is a big cluster-f lately!

Re: December mommies-to-be, check-in.

I am SO done!!!! 5 weeks left- couldn't come fast enough. I don't sleep, my back & ribs feel broken, I hate eating, I pee ever 3 minutes.. lol I could go on. Lets just say I hope to be a November mommy instead.

What do I have left? How about just about everything

Find a pediatrician
pack a hospital bag
Take hospital tour
Take infant CPR class
wash everything
set up the nursery
install carseat
set up everything from my shower that is still in a box
Figure out who is covering for me at work(nothing like the last minute)
Figure out maternity leave (again... the last minute here)
Stop being so frigging lazy

Re: December mommies-to-be, check-in.

Re: December mommies-to-be, check-in.

Hey girls! At 33 weeks I'm starting to feel yucky. I get sharp pains in my right shoulder blades by the end of the day that hurt when I breath lol...I am not getting it in the ribs so much more I keep getting punched in my sides and it hurts like heck!

We found a pediatrician, most of the things are washed after my first shower...I have one more the weekend.

Nursery is almost set up, but we have a big bed in there that will stay till the baby is born since most nights me or my husband sleep there..loll

I need to pack my hospital bag
I have my first lamaz class this week
I need to return some stuff I got from the shower but I'm waiting till after my next one so then I can do it in 1 trip.
After that I have to see what we still need!

I want it all done earlier than later so that I'm ready for anything just in case!
