A candid list of things to do in the last weeks of... - Dear Baby

I know we're still a ways away, but its never too early to start thinking of these things

I like this article, and what is weird is that she is naming her son the name DH wants if it's a boy, Arlo.
I've never in my life heard of anyone with that name!

[angelbaby02]

My old boss's name was Arlo.. that was the first time I'd EVER heard that name!

I just started reading a book where the main guy's name is Arlo, but other than that, I've only heard of Arlo Guthrie... wasn't he like a folk singer or something??

That's a pretty good list! Although, I'll say, my water broke both times with the girls, one being in the middle of the night. I was able to make it to the toilet both times without getting it over everything It was a small gush at first and enough warning to tell my brain "MOVE!!", lol! I never used ice packs out of the hospital either (they supplied the first day these giant hybrid ice pack maxi pads, lol). I do like the idea of a cleaning service. I need to find one! There are never any local groupon deals for them though It's always for up in Raleigh.

thanks for sharing.

I need to buy a King Size waterproof mattress protector!! I have queen but we now have a King bed! My waters never broke with either of my kids (2 inductions) but knowing my luck I won't be prepared and it will happen!

I'll definitely have to do the mattress protector. We have a Tempurpedic that can't get wet or it's ruined.

I liked that article. Very helpful.

That's a good article. Is it just me though or is the idea of a cleaning service freaky? I don't like the idea of anyone else than family cleaning my home. Thankfully my mom and my DH have both volunteered to do it in the weeks before and after.

I love the idea of a cleaning service. I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving them alone in the house unless it was a specific person I'd come to know well first, but I actually feel more comfortable paying people I don't know to clean than have friends and family clean for me.
