things to do pre-jack #14

March 11th, 2009 by admin

This is the waiting week. I am just not able to sit around and prop my feet up- I need to be doing things! So I’m still working on the list….and to make myself feel better about my progress, here’s the updated list, with some modifications, and pictures!

bassinet

bassinet

The bassinet set that I made to replace the standard that it came with.

packing for the hospital

packed for l'hopital

All packed for the hospital!

make planet mobile
pack for the hospital
buy:lanterns, camcorder, changing pad, diapers, wipes
paint crib
clean and stock baby room
make Jack Danger painting
honeymoon photo album
wedding photo books
choose photo sorting program ( think I’m pretty settled on lightroom).
fix back seat
clean new toys
install carseat
compile phone lists/groups on phone
freeze a week of meals
make Sam/Jack/Maci quilts
get bassinet ready
lots of bow ties ready to list
clean chair
write in Jack’s book
houseguest cleaning
organize baby stuff in garage (thanks Garth!)
crib bedding
make rug (in progress!)

I decided against shelling out hundreds of dollars for a gray flokati rug (oh how I heart flokati rugs!), and opted to make a latch hook t-shirt rug instead. It’s in process right now…I’ll share it when it’s done!

I’m not too worried about getting the rest of the list done before Jack gets here…my parents are coming in a few days and I know that they would love to help me with some of the fun making projects. And, I’d rather have him here and meet him than have my list all crossed off.

By the way..anyone who wants instant gratification and bragging rights to first notification about Jack’s arrival can follow me on twitter. In addition to texting our innermost circle of family and friends when the baby arrives, I’m sure that Garth and I will both be tweeting as well.

xo lovies!
elle!
