Re: January mommies!!!!!!

Well, its looks like I'm actually going to be a dec mommy, but I'll play!


I think we got done with everything

- nursery is done
- car seats installed
- bag is packed
- pediatrician is chosen
- cord blood kits are ready to go
- pack n play set up, also swing
- baby clothes, blankets, etc. are washed (although we might need preemie size, that will have to be a last minute thing when they are born)


anything else I'm missing?

Re: January mommies!!!!!!

WE still need to do the following:

Furniture is in....we just got to tell them when to deliver. Which means, we still got to clear out the room.

We have all of the BIG items on the Registry with the exception of the Bassinet. I am not crazy about the selection out there but will get it this week.

Need to install the carseat

Hospital tour (it was cancelled this past weekend)

Buy decorating items for the babies room.

Pediatrician-Got to narrow it down, but I have an idea who I want.

Pack my hospital bag.

Buy Nightgown and nursing bras

I am delivering at 36 weeks, so I am going to buy a few items in preemie size

Wash some of the baby clothes.

Phew.....that's it.

Re: January mommies!!!!!!

Oh, boy, I thought I was doing so well with e/t! I haven't done any washing of the babies clothes, packed hospital bag, and still need to buy several things. DH's sister bought us the carseat so once she gives that to us we can install it. I did take a free breastfeeding class and the hospital tour last weekend. The furniture is being delivered at the very end of this month so DH will be putting a fresh coat of paint on the walls a few days prior.

We still need to find a pediatrician. Good thing I'm off for 2 weeks; hopefully I can get alot of this done!

It sounds like your on the ball!

Re: January mommies!!!!!!

BUMP, what else have you accomplished this past week?

Re: January mommies!!!!!!

I'm on vacation for the next 2 weeks so I'm hoping to get alot accomplished. I started packing my hospital bag. We emptied out the big stuff from the baby's room and today I'm going to clean out the closet and mop the floor. Tomorrow I'm going to BBB to pick up a few things. I'm going to have the car seat installed hopefully this weekend and then taking it to Hassel to have it inspected. Furniture is being delivered next week.

DH and I are going to the supermarket to stock up on some groceries. I think I'm going to make a few things to freeze.

I can't believe January is right around the corner! Good luck to everyone!

Re: January mommies!!!!!!

We still have to:

install car seat bases (next weekend)

put together the swing (once we put away Christmas decorations, so probably weekend after new years)

do my hospital bag. Have everything laid out, but just need DH to bring the carry-on down from the attic (poor DH works 2 jobs)

hospital tour (only if DH can get off one night during the week, if not I may take the tour with my mom or sister).

buy undies for post-pardum (I'm a thong gal, that needs to change)

buy pads for post-pardum (tampon gal here)
