Two months but getting anxious about things to do list

Anyone with me? What's your list?

I need to be knocked out so I stop stressing and stop stressing DH.

I think that we told Behr's that we wanted to furniture for April but that March would be okay for delivery as well. April 2nd and I am a wreck that it's not here.

My List
Put flooring down in the baby's closet
Put a clothes bar in closet
Remove three dressers and one armoire from the room
Clean the windows
Put up the blinds
Put up the curtain rods
Hang the drapes
Wash clothes (May)
Shampoo Carpet
Change door knobs
Put in shelf and rod in downstairs closet (we are keeping coats in the baby's room right now)
Order Rocker/Glider and Ottoman
Final registry purchases after shower (still things on there that I will need)



But..I have to give DH a because he woke up early yesterday morning to insulate the attic crawl space in front of the baby's room (we live in a cape). He did a great job.

Please don't stress, Ang. Rich is so amazing with caring for you & getting things done that everything will work out

Hey, just think about me- I have no furniture, nothing is set up, I'm on bed rest, can't do much and I will most likely have to deliver in 2 weeks! Yet somehow everything will get done

Re: Two months but getting anxious about things to do list

Don't stress! Whatever needs to get done will get done, and what ever doesn't can wait!

My DD came three weeks early - we were living at my mom's while my hardwood floors were being refinished! When I came home from the hospital, all of the furniture from our second floor was still in the MBR. DD's furniture didn't arrive until she was 6 weeks old, and believe me it wasn't a problem at all!

It will all work out - once you have that baby in your arms, nothing else will matter.

Re: Two months but getting anxious about things to do list

That looks a lot like my list.

Next week we are:

Getting rugs steam cleaned
Furniture Delivery
Windows Replaced

I still have to:

Call Pediatrician
Interview more Day Cares
Call Hospital for tour
Wash clothes
Pack hospital bag
Paint hallway
Get more storage containers
Put up the blinds
Put up the curtain rods
Hang the valances
Buy remaining needs from registry

And sooooo much more.

You are so well Organized You are going to be FINE! Don't stess!

Re: Two months but getting anxious about things to do list

dont worry ang all will get done!
I have about 4-6 wks left, and just now we're getting started, I'm have my entire central AC unit redone,
then I want to redo the babies closet, widen that door way, change the doors and pull out and layout new hardwood floors in babys room and my room....
it can be done! just the next 3 wks will be really busy
have faith!

as far as painting the baby's room, for us I dont want dh painting it till after baby is born, just so he can paint it either blue or pink based on our paint choices, he can do that while i'm in the hospital, and then the furniture can arrive, either way baby will be in my room in a bassinet for a bit.

the lil things like washing baby stuff is easy enuff

Re: Two months but getting anxious about things to do list

Im no help girlie...just wanted to wish you luck on the nursery and Im sure it will come out great!

You are lucky to be able to work on it,...I have to wait.

Re: Two months but getting anxious about things to do list

Thanks everyone - I needed the reality check. And it is so true - once he's in my arms I would bet anything that this list is the last thing I will care about.

I am so bad with these things...DH says that I am the only person he knows that has to find things to worry about. He's right

Re: Two months but getting anxious about things to do list

I have 3 months to go but here's my list:

*Steam the carpet
*Buy and hang window treatments
*Paint nursery
*Put up the moulding
*Buy bedding and coordinates
*Figure out who is watching DD while I am in the hospital
*Make and freeze some meals for after I get home from the hospital
*Buy stuff for my hospital bag
*Buy necessities I didn't get for my shower(which is on the 28th of this month)

You have a great list...meaning there are things on here that I forgot or didn't even think of. I am copying it

Re: Two months but getting anxious about things to do list

Oy! I'd be dying if that was my to do list at this point! I'm a complete control freak and organizational NUT. I admit it. My original deadline was May 1...but I moved it up a month! I finished right on time yesterday with my new drill and the door to the nursery!


Mainly all I've got left is:

*Have a shower.
*Open and organize gifts and send thank yous.
*Buy all the stuff I totally need that I don't get from the shower. [and by need, I mean need and want. hee]
*Sterilize things that need it closer to due date.
*Pack bag for hospital/install carseats.
*Have the baby.

Of course, I started working on the nursery at like 7 weeks when DH thought I was totally insane...he still thinks I am, but at least now he sees that I can relax from now on. That's why I drove myself crazy in the beginning!
