Checking off the list...

So now that I'm officially on Maternity leave as of this morning, I've started diving into the laundry list of "to do's" that I created for myself during these 4.5 weeks that I have off before my due date.

  • Today, I picked up the Medela Freestyle Breast Pump.
  • This past weekend, I finalized the baby room (pics to come!).
  • Today, I made the Maternity Leave Letters to send to my customers.
  • This past weekend, I organized my diaper bag (as much as I could...I don't know what size she is going to be when she's born so that will determine the clothes and diaper size I put in the bag).
  • Yesterday, I finished all of her laundry (meaning blankets and a few more clothes we got as presents).
I've still got a few more things to complete...
  • Install car seats
  • Steamclean carpets (again - hey, I love that clean feeling)
  • Organize nursery closet
  • Make a space for her things in the kitchen
  • Pick up a few nursery books, a medical binder, a hamper and a trash can
  • Pack hospital bags! (yay!)
  • And I'm sure I'll come up with a few more things...
I also was able to squeeze in a pedicure today. And tomorrow afternoon I scheduled a prenatal massage. Hey, I'm just doing what the doctor ordered! She recommended I pamper myself so I am totally going along with it. Ha!

I can't believe it's getting so close...awhhh...and that means that this blog of my pregnancy is coming to a close soon, too! Time has flown by for sure --- well, kinda. There were definitely times that I thought I'd be pregnant forever!

I'm just relishing my "alone moments" and trying to rest as much as possible. Naps are so yummy since I get up to go the bathroom at least 4 times each night. I think I'll get a few more massages after tomorrows and I'm going to go visit some friends and family for lunch a couple of times.

Oh yea....and we picked a name ;-) You'll find out on her birthday...

Love,
Andrea
