So Much to Do!

Things are finally really settling in for me. I'm 5 months pregnant. In 4 months I'm going to have a baby to take care of. And I feel like I have so much to do and not nearly enough time to do it. I decided I needed to come up with a list, and I wanted to put it here, just to document what I felt I needed to do before baby girl comes.

• Clear out the guest room. We have to store the bed frame and desk.
• Clear out the closet. It's currently storing all of our Christmas decorations, stuff from when I was a kid, college, etc.
• Re-do the living room. This means getting a new DVD tower and consolidating, getting a new, smaller desk that closes to keep our clutter contained, and getting a new litter box bench because we can't keep it in the guest room anymore, and it just doesn't fit anywhere.
• Paint the nursery
• Pick out and buy bedding and nursery furniture
• Clear out the downstairs closet 
• Take all of our "excess" stuff to mom and dad's basement for storage
• Deep clean the house including shampooing the nursery carpet

So that's just the house stuff that has to be done and I'm sure I forgot something. Then there's all of the... labor classes, hospital tour,  setting up maternity leave, etc. And in the midst of all of this is my birthday, A's birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's.... wow.

Time is going by pretty quickly and each day makes me freak out a little more. All of the things we have to do are also going to get expensive considering how much I need to save to be able to take off 12 whole weeks. We'll make it work, but things are a bit tight and I'm not used to that anymore. It's probably better to get used to it again with little miss on her way. I'm so excited but starting to feel the pressure! It's kind of neat.
