Ready when Baby is...

With 1 week at work remaining, I find myself with little left on my office To-Do list. My desk is clear, my list crossed off and my voice mail message changed to reflect my leave. What else can I do?

My at home To-Do list still has some tasks remaining but not too many and nothing that is so important that the baby can't come anyway.

• Clean house- We have a one time appointment with a cleaning service tomorrow bright and early. I am excited to have a top to bottom cleaning done without lifting a finger!
• Mail thank you notes. They are written, I just don't have stamps. Who ever has stamps?
• Wash some swaddling blankets so we have soft baby burrito materials.
• Cook some freezer meals. I think I will make 4 kinds of casseroles to put in our basement freezer. These would be in addition to about 10 jars of sauce (although I think they are getting too spicy in the jars...) and 4 lbs of meatballs that Jake made.
• Lasagna
• Baked Ziti
• Chicken Tetrazzini
• Chicken and Green Bean Casserole
• Hang valances over the windows.
• Install the 2nd car seat base and have both car seats inspected.
• Grocery shopping- stock up on staples!
• Finish packing hospital bags- I started but some of the things I need are in daily use so I will have to wait until things get started to finish packing the bags.
• Put up Christmas Tree- we are getting a tree this weekend but not doing all the extra decorating. I think it will be nice to enjoy the tree with the baby up at night (not to mention me being up at night before he even comes!)

I think that is it... we are pretty darn ready! Bring it on baby :)
