These thoughts on what's left to buy, etc... have me thinking of what's left to DO!

Anyone else feel as if the list just NEVER seems to be getting any shorter?

I just can't imagine having this baby in August. My work and business things really, really haven't gotten done. I've worked on them, but they take longer to complete than I thought, so I just can't cross them off my list! It's driving me batty.

These, of course, are not MUSTS for baby, but they would be SOOOO much easier to complete before I have the baby and NO sleep impacting my thoughts.

Anyone else have a number of things on your plate that seem to be overwhelming right now? Even if they aren't baby related...

I keep forgetting to call for a wind assessment, which would lower my homeowners insurance and which I need to do NOW before it renews.

File the FMLA paperwork for leave.

Shop for the rest of the nursery.

CLEAN.

Put the 4 things in the hospital bag I didn't realize I needed, and right now I can only remember 1 of the 4 which is a razor.

Get the dog to the vet...had to cnc my last appointment because I was just getting out of the hospital.

Nothing...

I can't believe it. I've got the nursery done. I've got the car seat bases installed in both cars. The diaper bag is packed, my bag is packed. House is clean.

Just waiting for baby.

Yes I have things left to do. I need to organize our basement, or rather the garage into the basement so we can park in the garage. I need to hang more pictures on the walls. I pretty much have everything up stairs unpacked now. I unpacked 2 boxes today. I have one left in my bdrm closet of bdrm junk LOL
Once we get back from FIL's I have to wash and prep all cloth diapers. We don't get home until September 5th and I'm induced the 14. Yikes.
I will do cleaning, but luckily no deep cleaning needed since we just moved here. But bathrooms etc.

I've been a list maker for 20 years. The list never gets shorter. Sure we check stuff off but then we think of things to add. I just imagine what the list(and my life) would look like if I wasn't checking things off all the time so I won't lose motivation!
But anyway, the biggest things on my mind now are finishing the kids' room because their stuff is still scattered all over our tiny house. I want the house generally straightened before the baby comes!
So, still moving stuff back into the kids' room after the redo.
I'll probably make some more cloth pads.
Finish packing the hospital bag.
List some stuff on CL, Ebay and Freecycle(several big pieces that will free up lots of room in here).
Buy a few homeschooling items(we'll be taking a 2-3 week break when the baby arrives and then starting again).
And continuing to fill up the freezer.

I am starting to get really excited about meeting the baby. I set up the bassinet yesterday and picked out the pump I want. I realized that just throwing a thing in my bag here and there that it's almost packed! We are really ready to go!
Although I still haven't gotten DH to commit to a MN if we have a girl. :/

I still have to tape off and paint the nursery
Then set up the nursery
Get a new glider (have some Walmart gift cards)
Get her clothes organized
Set up bunk beds in B & A's room
Curtains up in every bedroom
Clean out the van and install her car seat
Pack the hospital bag (I at least started this but I need to buy some stuff for it. Mainly travel size stuff, breast pads, a baby book)

I think that's it. I get more panicked by the day. And I only have 20 days to go... possibly only 13 days.
