I'm down to only 4 weeks so that means it's crunch time for pre-baby preparations. If you know me really well, you know I'm an insane list maker and I kind of go overboard with preparing for certain events...so why would having a baby be any different? It's kind of funny because I wasn't like this too much with E at all. I wanted to get things set up and get the carpets cleaned, but that was the extent of my nesting for him. This entire pregnancy I have had a continuous Microsoft word document that I add/delete things daily. So now that I only have 4 weeks left, each week has a certain amount of tasks that have to be done that week. It's kind of ridiculous, but it makes me feel better and makes me feel prepared. Here's the plan
4 Weeks to go:
-makes some freezer meals
-finish my blog book
-pack hospital/E's to go bags
3 Weeks to go:
-more freezer meals
-renew my nursing license
-work on deep cleaning the house
-shop for E's birthday gifts
2 Weeks to go:
-get carpets cleaned
-pick up needed baby items
-keep deep cleaning going
1 Week to go:
-major major deep clean
-stock pantry and fridge
-set up any needed baby stuff
So this is what I'll be doing for the next 4 weeks. It's going to be crazy busy, but maybe it will make me go into labor early. Wish me luck, I think I'll need it.

How DEEP does this cleaning go?
so...maybe you cna come help me get prepared for my next baby--i might not be so shell shocked!
That is great. I am totally a list maker too...my husband will also make fun of the many lists that I create. He finally got me a levenger. Check out http://levenger.com/ It is this great leather notebook that I can remove the pages and organize however I want and keeps all my lists in this book, so he doesn't have to see them and so they can go with me wherever I go.
So what is the difference between "deep cleaning" and "major deep cleaning." Carpet cleaning seemed like it ought to come under one of those headlines. LOL
You go girl. That is why we are friends. Rock out!
somewhere in all that, is girls night out, right?
funny. my list looks a lot like that, too ;-)
