My Baby Prep "Bucket List"

I saw this on the Graco blog this morning and thought "what a great idea!"

1. Find a new place to live that actually has room for baby.

2. Buy baby bedding at Pottery Barn.

3. Get glider/rocker re-upholstered- My sis was babysitting this past Saturday for a family that was having a garage sale and they were selling a glider/rocker that they no longer use. So, Stef called me to see if I wanted it. For $75, I'll take it! It's in great condition, but the fabric is white and that scares me with a new baby. So, I'm going to get it re-upholstered in brown fabric to match Christian's bedding.

4. Keep paying on the baby furniture and pay it off in January.

5. Pick up baby furniture.

6. Take birthing classes- my classes start at the very beginning of January. Can't wait!

7. Buy accessories for baby's room- lamp, wall mounted letters, model cars, wall art, etc...

8. Find a pediatrician.

9. Take maternity pictures.

10. Plan a weekend get-away with hubby for some relaxation.

11. Prepare our dog, Hitch, for the arrival of baby. (I'm still not quite sure how we are going to accomplish this?!)

12. Move.

13. Prepare nursery ASAP so it's ready when Christian decides to make his entrance!

14. Organize our new place and hopefully feel somewhat settled in before baby.

Whew! That's a lot, but it's do-able! I will probably keep adding to this list as things come up that I haven't thought of yet. 3 1/2 months to go! Time is flying!

Since I mentioned the baby bedding in my list above, I thought I would share a picture of what it looks like...

I just love it! Simple, classic, clean and modern. The furniture we picked out is dark like in this picture, so I think Christian's room will turn out so cute!
