The One With The List's Update #2

Our Magical To Do List Update
So before as I checked things off the list, I would add things to the list. Now as I cross things off, I realize there are so many things I need to do, but am not sure what they are. Help Please!

1. Pick a baby name.......impossible
*Sooooo close...I blame Mr. Gator on this one. We finally decided on a name and then he called the baby by the wrong name when he was talking to him, so that opened a can of worms.....
**I think you all know that we haven't picked a name yet.....maybe we will just "surprise" everyone when he is born with the name (real meaning: the hospital will make us choose and we will finally decide)

2. Register at the hospital.......every 1st and 3rd Saturday, looks like we are registering Feb. 2

3. Make a birth plan.......call the stork and have him deliver quickly. done.


4. Find a pediatrician.......there's like a million of them! How do you choose!
* Done and done! Super excited about the one we picked, he seems really good and nice. Only problem is that it's in the same building of my old work......can you say awkward?

5. Get and put bedding on crib.......so that would mean we have to take everything we've been storing out of the crib?
*Where is the crib skirt...many things are waiting on it's arrival! Hopefully it comes before the baby to make things easier!

6. Install the car seat.......first we have to get a car seat, this should probably be listed as #1

7. Set up diaper changing station....... get a diaper changing station
* As of right now we have a wall of diapers


8. Find newborn outfit.......impossible. For girl however...easy peasy

9. Get sharing snacks for the hospital.......ahhh look how sweet, Megan is sharing

10. Get snacks that I won't be sharing for the hospital :).......no statement needed

11. Pack baby bag.......hmmm how to pack for someone you have never met....interesting

12. Pack diaper bag.......so there's diapers, wipes and....

13. Pack my Bag.......do I plan for everything to happen smoothly or for a not so great scenario?

14. Pack Mr. Gator's bag.......easy peasy

15. Nail up bathtub.......leaving this one to Mr. Gator

16. Set up baby monitor.......and this one too

17. Buy straw for tervis.......very important task

18. Find and buy a rocker.......this actually should be find a spot for a rocker in our apt and then get one that fits

*We finally got one, although we were so worn out from looking and deciding we didn't return it when we opened the box and saw that it was the wrong color!


19. Buy crib mattress cover.....not that our baby gator would ever have an accident in there, it is more for the dust
*Dust will no longer be a problem

20. Buy changing pad cover....see above comment
*Done and done.

21. Buy a humidifier.....because the poor baby's nose will get too dried out in the northeast
*Done and done

22. Buy a carseat cover......the bright sun and babies don't mix well neither does snow

22. Buy a baby wrap......I am all about the multitasking (anyone know of a good place to get one?)

Additions:

23. Buy a window shade for the car windows......yep I'll be one of those moms :|
*It's official. I have window shades on my windows. Sigh....I guess it had to happen.
