Things I need to accomplish ASAP

For those wondering, there's no baby yet.  Did my day off from posting yesterday make you wonder?!?  Today marks the 2 week countdown until "due date" but really, he could come any time now.  Everything I read says your can expect baby to come any time between 38 and 42 weeks with your due date being the mid point during that window.  And oh am I ready.  Well, I'm ready to no longer be pregnant and to meet this little guy.  But I actually have A LOT of things left to do before he comes.


So in an attempt to totally freak myself out even more, I thought I'd make a list of all the things I have to do:


  1. Have car cleaned/vacuumed.
  2. Install car seat base in said clean car. (We should probably also have the car set in the car along with the base - this would not be a good thing to forget on the trip to the hospital).
  3. Wash Lukas' bedding and clothes.
  4. Wash my clothes (specifically all my new sexy nursing attire...)
  5. Pack my hospital bag.  And have Mr. Cob pack his bag. - Must remember to bring: ipod dock/speakers, ipod, hypnobirthing "stuff", tennis balls (for massage), socks, slippers, food for husband (must buy said food), a towel, extra pillows, birthing ball.
  6. Buy birthing ball.
  7. Pick out an outfit to bring Lukas home in.  To be safe we should probably pick two outfits in different sizes - petite and meaty - you never know what size he'll be.
  8. Move dresser and changing table into Lukas' room.
  9. Unpack all the goodies I've received at my showers.
  10. Set up, decorate and organize Lukas' room.
  11. Return stuff to Babies R Us and buy pump.
  12. Take Pack -n- Play out of box and assemble in bedroom.
  13. Cook meals (yea, probably not going to happen).
  14. Shave legs (just keeping it honest).
  15. Give someone a key to our house so that Wrigley and Bailey Ann are not neglected when it's "really time".
  16. Buy mattress protector in case water breaks in bed (how has this not occurred to me yet?!?!  On second thought, if my water breaks in the bed before I can buy the protector, we could then "justify" buying a new, ahem KING-sized, bed.  So maybe we'll skip this to do.)
  17. Finish cleaning out closet in Lukas' room and find new homes for our coats.
  18. Clean the entire house - it doesn't feel ready for a brand new clean baby...
  19. Breathe.
  20. Maybe get another pedicure. (So this isn't exactly a necessity, but it sure feels amazing).
Ok, so yea, there's all that.  I'm either in complete denial or the world's biggest procrastinator.  I think I've just convinced myself that the baby won't come until I get all of this done and since the babe can't come until at least like 2pm on Sunday, there's no reason to finish my tasks until then.  Yes, that's it.  Logical reasoning at its finest.


So you now know what I'll be doing all weekend.  Or having a baby.  Tomorrow is a full moon...
