Only 10 more weeks until Harry is due! It has really hit me this last week that I will be a full time mom, not a babysitter, not a friend to just love on a baby, not a teacher to teach someone how to read and write but a full time multitasking MOTHER! It gave me a little anxiety this week so, I put a list of things I would like to do before I become a mom and then a to do list to make me feel a little bit better about his arrival coming so soon.
Go on a 4 more BIG dates with Chad(one's where we go out of the house and spend quality time eating at restaurants that are not so baby friendly)
Have all my Christmas presents wrapped and labeled. I only have 4 more to buy YIPEE!
Have my thank you notes stamped and addressed to those I know are coming to the showers.
Have all my hostest gifts with their notes ready to go for all the showers before November (we have 5 showers in November)
Announcement list with addresses in excel for labesls finished and organized.
Harrison's room organized (clothes washed, toys disenfected, everything in it's spot)
House deep cleaned
20 meals and cookie dough frozen(for company and those exhausted days to come)
Regular clothes organized in guest room closet
Reread and skim through top 3 baby books and Breast Feeding book
develop pictures stored on computer and of Harrison's cousins, friends, and immediate family
I am sure there are so many more things I am so behind on, feel free to remind me!

Wow...I'm exhausted after reading this!! You have more energy pregnant than I ever do non-pregnant. Once Harrison comes, you'll never get to just lay around for as long as you'd like, so I'd do that some. Oh, and sleep in as much as you can!!!
Sounds like you might be nesting? Or about to be nesting with your big list of TO DOs! 20 frozen meals? Do you have a big enough freezer?
Your list wears me out just reading it! Make sure to add to it to rest and relax! Even though I know you won't!
Girl - you are SO in the nesting faze - I was laughing reading your list because every pregnant woman has "been there - done that"! First of all, don't freak out cause' you will get it all done before Harrison arrives...also, feel proud of yourself that you're on top of things and are thinking ahead - WAY ahead! When I was pregnant with Rauly, we had our christmas tree decorated and every present wrapped by Nov. 1st!...she was due Nov. 30th and I felt like everything had to be ready just in case she came early. :) I'd love to say just get some R&R before he arrives, however it'd be a little hypocritical of me because I did the exact same thing you're doing now.
yeah seriously, i am WORN OUT just reading that list! good luck with your "chores"...i'm sure everything will fall into place! you are going to be such a GREAT mommy!
Wow... that is one serious 'to-do' list! I wish I had some frozen cookie dough!!
Take some time to pamper yourself too...Get your hair done & don't forget about a pedicure!!!
You girls are right, I would love to have time to rest! Jamie, I have scheduled my next 2 hair appts and pedicures! I have my priorities in check:)
20 meals frozen??? girl, how do you do it??
It sounds like you are on the ball! I agree with Lar and Kim about the whole resting and sleeping when you can. Of course it will be a lot easier to do that with all of your to do's out of the way. Make sure you have all info to add Harrison to your insurance once he arrives. Matt and I failed to do that until after his first doctor's visit...wasn't pretty.
Make sure Chad knows everything he needs to post on blogger so we will all be up to date! :)
A: I told Chad what you said and he said he would get on it, i am so sure that is the first of the many things we have not thought of!
A: between us, i think chad is excited to get to take over my blog:)
