OK June Mamas - what do you still need to get done!? - Page 2

[Ooey]

Great thread, I needed to sit down and write this list anyway...

-Finish stocking the birth drawer with supplies
-Deal with BCBS insurance
-Wash all baby's clothes & diapers
-Finish all sewing projects (MamaPads, baby quilt, prefitteds, crib bumper, swing cover, and the list goes on and on...)
-Clean the house

Those are the only things I really feel urgent about. Of course there are a million other little things that I would love to have done in order for everything to be *perfect* but if I did them all I would just be bored waiting for the baby lol.

I keep asking myself what, if anything needs doing. I keep ending up with the answer "um... nothing I think? Except packing my bags."

I need to do this too, but I at least have a list on the fridge. I figure I can pack it in early labor, so long as I don't have to think about it too much

2. Make a pouch sling, I really need to get on it...not gonna have time to sit at the sewing machine once he gets here!
This was on my list until I decided it was never ever going to actually get done. Instead I wussed out and got a summer sling from slinglings. It looks nice and wasn't very expensive. Still have to see whether I like it. My fleece pouch is just too hot in the summers here, though.

4. Need to shop for and make dh a pouch sling...
Yeah this was also on my list, but slinglings had a buy 2 get one free deal so I got one sized for me and one for him, and a third for my sister, who is expecting #2 in September.

5. Need some pp pads...
Still have some disposables sitting in my closet from 2 years ago postpartum with James (I never got my period in between pregnancies). Plus I have a couple of cloth pads for after the lochia lightens up some.
