Well I’ve hit 26 weeks today and I have to admit that I feel
huge!! My back is killing me and I wake up every 3 hours at night to use the
bathroom. Oh the joys of pregnancy!
Last month I felt like October was so far away and I had
plenty of time to get things together before our little girl came, but now I’m
feeling like its crunch time. I know I have many weeks left, but September is
going to be a crazy month with my shower and baby classes and I don’t want to
have anything planned for October.
So, I’ve made a list of things that I need to get done
before the baby comes. I know that many other mothers have made lists and put
them on the web, but this is what I feel should be done. Let me know if I’ve
missed anything!
Put together the crib, changing table, swing, etc. This will have to be the man of the house’s job. I will say that I could probably put them together, but I know that he enjoys doing things like that and it will make him feel more involved with the pregnancy.
Sanitizing the bottles, nipples and pacifiers is very important. Germs creep me out! I always make sure that everything is washed that comes from a store, but when it comes to a baby, this is extremely important. I’ll probably end up doing it twice!
