I’ve checked a few things off of my to-do list, but have a feeling I’ll add a few more before this becomes a new mommy to-do list.
I also decided not to use a doula. I think it’s a great idea, but am somewhat pressed for time and cash and need to get the essentials out of the way. I’ll just have to spend the next couple of weeks working with my hubby on ways that he can be supportive. I think he’s up to the task. We’ll both just have to work on not freaking out.
Install the car seats in both cars (The car seat bases are in the cars, they just need to be installed).
Move my home and set up the nursery (see below).
Sell my condo in Alexandria.
Check in with my health insurance provider; verify that all is well with my coverage and begin panicking about the bills.
Create a will (I purchased a software program that will help me take care of this at home).
Find local new parent groups to meet up with while I am on maternity leave, and hopefully on the weekends and evenings once I return to work.
Pick songs for baby’s first playlist (I’ve picked a few, but need more).
Select a pediatrician for baby girl.
