Pregnancy To Do Lists!

onetwoten · Oct 25, 2013

This was one of my favorite threads in my last DDC. What sort of things do you plan/need to accomplish before the baby gets here? Either directly baby related (buying, creating, organizing), house related, YOU related, etc. What are you now on a countdown for? 
 
 
Myself: Our biggest thing, which was SUPPOSED to be done before our LAST baby was born (ugh), is to finish our basement to a point where it's livable. It's close now, paint on the walls, most of the ceiling is up. We just need to throw some cheap rugs down for now, as we can't afford carpet yet, and grab some furniture. Mostly I'm just excited to get the play spaces for my daughter up and 'running'. Right now so many of her toys are in storage still

I also want to finish weaning my 23 month old. She's down to 1-2 times a day, but I'm pretty sure my milk is gone, and I am feeling so emotionally done. She's just not ready yet. We also want to get her sleeping primarily in her own bed. Right now she starts the night in her bed, and comes in with us after her first wakeup, between 11pm-2am usually. I'd love her to stay in her own room until more like 5, and then come in for snuggles. 
 
And we've got a bunch of things to buy/organize for new baby, but so far I haven't made lists yet, which is -amazing- for me, as I have a touch of ocd, and normally my brain doesn't feel settled until I have everything perfectly planned and organized and laid out. It's a new feeling!

My dh and I were talking about this the other day! I've got nothing that has to be done before the baby is born. Nothing. I guess that's the benefit of having babies semi close together. I went gender neutral with all of the baby stuff, so I don't need to buy anything. We've got plenty of hand-me-down clothes in the family for either gender. 
 
I've got a few things I want to do though

I always crochet my babies a blankie, so I'll do that. I want to make a couple more diaper covers. And since we're not going to find out the sex of the baby, I think I'll make or buy a couple of gender neutral newborn clothing items. And I kinda want to redo my bedroom. And start an etsy store. I designed a baby carrier that's really easy and inexpensive to make, quick and easy to use, and super comfy. Since baby carriers are now regulated, I'm planning on selling the pattern and sewing video tutorials. This week some ladies in my local baby wearing group are going to start trying out a carrier to give me feedback on my design and stuff. Yay!

House: move office to finished basement so there is a room for a baby (wow, that's weird to say!). Since babies sleep with us the first few months, we have a bit of extra time ...
 
Myself: I want to try to finish my Lamaze certification (I think I can test in April). I also need to talk to my advisor about what my options will be with scheduling, etc come next summer.
 
Baby specific: I need to go through our baby stuff from DS and figure out what we have and what we need. I already know that we will need a new infant car seat, and I really want some little fitted cloth diapers ...
 
That's about as far ahead as I can let myself think!

grassisgreener · Oct 25, 2013

Since we didn't find out the sex of ds until he was born, we went with all gender neutral baby items. So no need to really buy anything baby-related but some newborn size diapers. The biggest things will be moving ds from the crib to a big boy bed, possibly in a new room. Haven't decided yet if we're going to give the new baby a new room or give ds a new room. Either way, the HUGE desk in the study has to be moved by next summer and the study will be converted into one of the kids' rooms. Anybody have any anecdotes or suggestions on whether a transition to a big boy bed AND a new room will be too much change for a 2-year old?

lilmiss'mama · Oct 25, 2013

We are starting a remodeling project and adding another bedroom, 3/4 bath, and laundry room! My hubby says it'll be done before the baby is here. I have my fingers crossed! 
As far as baby things...the last baby was almost 11 years ago. We need stuff!

WonderFull · Oct 27, 2013

Next week we're tackling a major kitchen renovation, we're ripping out brick benches, oven towers shelves etc. We're ripping up existing vinyl floor and installing new flooring, patching up our roof and then assembling all new cabinetry. DH is a legend and I can't wait to help him out

Hopefully it will only take a couple of weeks to get it all done.
 
Before little bebe comes along, I'd love to fix up our backyard, it's a basic dirt pit at the moment, needs some landscaping, fence repairs, ground covers and tidying up existing plants. I would love to have a nice quiet place that's relaxing. I can imagine it will take me a while to get past the sleep deprivation with a newborn and having a close outdoor space to soak up sun will be nice...
 
Oh, and it's our first, so we got all that on the list too! <img alt=":eyesroll" src="http://files.mothering.com/images/smilies/eyesroll.gif" style="">

HopefullyMama · Oct 28, 2013

Erh, I have a BOOK of things-to-do. I started our baby-related to-do list when we started trying to get pregnant, and I've been adding to it (and crossing things off!) for about 3 years now <img alt=":twins" src="http://files.mothering.com/images/smilies/twins.gif" style="">

LOL <a href="http://www.mothering.com/community/u/156780/hopefullymama" id="user_poster_17493699" style="vertical-align:middle;">HopefullyMama</a>......that is one intense list. If I were to write out everything I want done before baby mine would be just as long

I currently have a before Thanksgiving project list:
*outdoor christmas lights up (before there's snow)
*prime & paint guest bath
*decorate guest bath
*prime & paint guest room
*prime & paint laundry room
*decorate laundry room
 
Doesn't seem like much but on top of cooking, cleaning, and homeschooling I'll be thankful if we can get even one room painted

HopefullyMama · Oct 28, 2013

Ughhh, I know. It's ridiculous, and of course it won't all get done. And so many of the "big things" are split into tiny, little things. So each ITEM feels more manageable but it makes the list GIGANTIC. It's also organized across time, so the earlier stuff should get done earlier, and some of the later stuff is really for near the birth, etc. 
 
Oh well! List making makes me happy <img alt="

JohannaInDairyland · Oct 28, 2013

HopefullyMama, which Nikki McClure prints did you get? A couple months ago I bought "Trust" (a pregnant mama by the ocean) and "Examine the Food Chain" (a breastfeeding dyad with a mama who looks oddly like me) and hung them up by our stairs so I can see them every day to remind me of my goals for nursing school ... now they've taken on a whole new meaning.

HopefullyMama · Oct 28, 2013

Johanna - I actually decided to get a "build your own" 10-pack of her cards, and mat / frame those in 5x7 frames. It was much more affordable that way (like, $3 each), and I can switch them out when I get bored of them. I'm trying to remember which ones I got, but there were quite a few....definitely the nursing mama, the pregnancy ones, one with a child and adult sleeping outside, the skateboarding one (for my husband), the baking one, the sewing one, one where it's looking out a window.....just all the ones that I loved <img alt="

" src="http://files.mothering.com/images/smilies/smile.gif" style=""> Her work is so incredible.
 
My plan is to frame 3 of them and hang them by the changing table; they are high contrast, but still "real" looking, and are just gorgeous, so I think a new baby all the way through toddler would love to stare at them / talk about them. I'll switch them out every so often.

HopefullyMama · Oct 28, 2013

Ok so I just looked on her website, and I think I bought:
 
Surrender
Breathe
Inside
Treasure
Rely
Extend
Examine the food chain
Grow
Ditch the car
Persist
Steady

Love it! I discovered "Surrender" after I bought the other two. <img alt=":stillheart" src="http://files.mothering.com/images/smilies/stillheart.gif" style="">

Kellyim · Oct 28, 2013

We have so much to do, but I'm pleased to say we can already cross one thing off the list (but I'm going to include it just so I can cross it out):
 
1. Buy EVERYthing (this is our first baby)
2. Clean the garage
3. Clean the basement (it's partially finished and will become our guest room because our current guest room will be baby's room. It's a disaster and a little stinky so that project will take a couple of weekends.)
4. Declutter and organize family room
5. Attach hardware to kitchen cabinets and drawers
6. Declutter and organize office so its useable
7. Paint and decorate nursery
8. Redo half bathroom
 
It doesn't look like a huge list, but it is when I think about what each thing entails. My husband is kind of a pack rat and doesn't understand that not every inch of every surface or every blank space in the perimeter of a room needs to be filled with something. He's getting better, but now that baby is coming, we seriously have to cut down on the non-baby-friendly clutter that's everywhere.

Oh My HopefullyMama-- I WAS you for my last pregnancy. And it makes my brain feel peaceful to have lists and organization too. People thought I was nuts, but it's how I felt comfortable! This time I haven't made lists at all, and it feels weird!

charliemae · Oct 29, 2013

I am loving this thread! My list has grown since reading what everyone else is up to. Not that I have more to do really, I'm just getting it all written down. 
 
To the new mamas out there, don't get to overwhlemed. New babies only really need diapers and boobs to be happy and healthy. ;-)

synepona · Oct 30, 2013

I typed out a big to-do list the other day, and then got busy, interrupted a few times, and never did post it! Now, I can't recall most of what was on it.
 
There are several big house related projects that we will choose to try to finish before babe arrives, but mostly just because it gives us a deadline of sorts! Pave the driveway, finish the basement hall flooring & order/install the 7 doors for the basement, possibly reno/update the kitchen, move some doors/walls for the kids closets so they are more functional, build a treehouse/fort in the yard, and turn the 2nd floor balcony into a sun room/gym, are all on the list of things to do. We'll probably tackle 2 or 3 of them before mid-May.
 
Baby related tasks are to get dresser(s) to store 2 kids worth of clothes in DD's room (her current dresser, a hand me down, while pretty, is not terribly functional), put the sides back on the crib, though this can wait till babe is 6mth or so, and get out the baby-boxes from the attic - diapers, clothes. Find where I've stashed things in the attic, basement or closets -- baby bath tub, swing, bassinet etc. Buy babe a couple Radian car seats (one for each vehicle). Figure out what I might have sold or given away that actually does need to be replaced.

Metasequoia · Oct 30, 2013

My last pregnancy nesting obsession was buying even more houseplants to make our indoor air even cleaner. <img alt=":lol" src="http://files.mothering.com/images/smilies/lol.gif" style=""> I counted over the summer and we have like 67 or something at this point. It's the first thing everyone comments on when they come over - "Look at all of the beautiful plants! It's so bright and alive in here!" And that's exactly how I feel about this space. They say just gazing at a houseplant makes you feel calm and clearheaded and I swear it's true.
 
Other than that, we need to move. <img alt=":rotflmao" src="http://files.mothering.com/images/smilies/ROTFLMAO.gif" style="">Seriously, we're a family of six (soon to be seven) with two bedrooms. It's a bit tight to say the least. I don't know how I feel about making the basement into a bedroom - though it would give us A LOT more space. It's half finished - one half is unfinished and is used for storage and extra fridge/freezer and the other half is "finished" but could use some work. The carpet is old and ugly and the walls and ceiling are textured which just accumulates dust and cobwebs - so gross. We end up with A LOT of BIG, creepy spiders in the winter down here and the thought of any of my children sleeping down here makes me feel terrible. And no way am I sleeping down here. <img alt=":lol" src="http://files.mothering.com/images/smilies/lol.gif" style="">
My desktop is down here and we store some food down here along with knitting stuff and homeschool supplies. I've envisioned the space being a sort of school/project room with a good sized table for our cutting mat and a smaller table for our sewing machine along with a table for doing other projects. It would be nice to have a separate space where we could all lay out whatever projects we were working on without having to clean it all up before dinner just so that we had some place to eat. And then I think of a ping-pong table and how it would keep the kids occupied during the really cold months. But there's no room for all of that...
 
DH is SUCH a procrastinator. It annoys me to no end. I really would love to move and be all settled in by June but I'm not holding my breath.

Water Mama · Oct 30, 2013

I have been avoiding this thread for fear of articulating exactly how much I need to get done and don't want to do! I'll try to keep it simple so I don't overwhelm my nausea and run off to the bathroom...
 
Home Stuff:
Put new drawer pulls on bedroom dressers (24 pulls and 48 screws)
Buy and mount tv above bedroom dresser (waiting for Black Friday sale)
Buy Etsy painting for above the bed
Buy a new King size materess and frame (ugh)
Force DH to finally purge his closet and DS's closet to make room for baby clothes
Find my maternity clothes and storage that seems to be lost

Buy new wireless modem, finish setting up new computer, and buy DS art programs for after school computer time
Complete Prenatal yoga every night starting in 2nd Trimester
Buy a super soft runner rug for the hallway (I keep imagining a little baby crawling down the hallway!)
Make Christmas cards
Buy everyone Christmas presents
Host DH's parents when they come to visit in February
 
Annoucements:
Tell DH's parents I am pregnant
Tell my boss
Tell my grandmothers
Tell DS
Tell Facebook
 
Not as much as I thought, but I feel like I am missing so many things <img alt=":eyesroll" src="http://files.mothering.com/images/smilies/eyesroll.gif" style="">

So true! We went shopping today, and I was walking down the babyish toys with my 23 month old daughter, and asked "Do you think there's anything here we need for new baby?" And she paused for a second and said "uhhhh beeeta milk?" (what she calls mama milk, since I always tell her she can have "a bit")
