Checklist?

So I'm obviously a ftm. Is there some type of checklist of what I need to do during the next 36 weeks??

Obviously set up nursery, choose names, think about christening, find a pediatrician, birthing/breastfeeding classes, hospital bag, newborn photos, etc., but I feel like I really have no clue everything I should be doing.

Re: Checklist?

i dont know if there is a checklist - but you have it covered

hospital bag is a must
names are helpful
you should find a pediatrician bc the hospital paperwork asks for that information
have the crib (or wherever you plan on dc sleeping) set up and clothing washed
make sure you have diapers, pacifiers, bottles, etc

classes - ehh not a must. usually the nurses and hospital staff are very knowledgeable

newborn photographer - if you plan on booking, book now bc it may already be too late.

you have time to figure out the christening

Too late even though I'm only four weeks?? Chat Icon

I have a list that I've kept for awhile now, so maybe I should start contacting them?

Checklist?

You have PLENTY of time for the baby stuff. Right now I would suggest making a list of things you and DH might want to do before baby comes. Little couples outings, restaurants you would like to check out, people you would like to make plans with... Not that you're not going to be able to do these things after baby comes but it is a completely different ball game LOL!

If you sign up for baby center they have a pretty extensive checklist of things to do week by week.
