35 Things To Do Before Baby Comes




Dudes. I have so much to do before the baby comes. I look around and see baby junk everywhere, and feel like he is good to go if he came today.

But then I think about it.

THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO!

I may be crazy, thats totes a possibility. Or an over planner, which is also likely. So I put together a list. Is it a little over the top? Probs. But I am trying to organize everything in a manner than I can accomplish it all before babe comes. So, I am putting the list out into the universe to see if it helps make it more of a reality. Hold me accountable, mkay? Also, if it helps you think of things you might not have thought about, dope. Is there something on the list I forgot? Please let me know. But shh. Don't tell Andrew. He already thinks I have too much to do.

So without further ado:
  1. Pack bags for the hospital (Andrew's bag included)
  2. Install the carseat
  3. Deep clean the house (but for reals, I might hire someone to do this)
  4. Find a pediatrician
  5. Prewash all clothes, blankets and bedding
  6. Contact insurance about breast pump
  7. Make freezer meals
  8. Get hospital tour
  9. Find out what other classes my doctor recommends (bleh)
  10. Charge camera battery
  11. Get a clean memory card
  12. Stock up on hand sanitizer
  13. Update family on "Baby/Hospital Rules" 
  14. Hire a photographer
  15. Update photographer of any changes with baby
  16. Make room for baby in the kitchen
  17. Get Andrew's whooping cough shot
  18. Send out all thank you notes
  19. Decide whether or not to have a baby announcement
  20. Get eyelashes and eyebrows done (I know, not as important...)
  21. Preregister at the hospital
  22. Make sure all the bills are paid
  23. Clean out the car
  24. Clean shower curtain and get new liner
  25. Check on maternity leave and make sure I am good to go
  26. Make padsicles
  27. Go on lots of dates
  28. Start a journal
  29. Write baby funny letters from Andrew and I (keep somewhere safe for 10 years)
  30. Pedicure
  31. Stock up on household essentials
  32. Make sure pantry is stocked up (make grocery list incase I go into labor early)
  33. Decide who is going to be in the room when baby is born
  34. Organize baby clothes into size
  35. Read a book that isn't a baby book
