Things To Do

Less than 4 weeks to go until my "guess date"!

Here's some of the things I need to do in the next few days:

• Make more laundry detergent.  I can check this one off the list now.  For the record, my last double batch of detergent lasted over a month.  We do a LOT of laundry.
• Make some homemade disposable wipes (using Jen's instructions ).  I can also check this one off the list.  I made a batch last week but discovered that my cheapo paper towels weren't thick enough.  I could never find the end of the roll.
• Put away all of Miles's clean clothes and pull out a few more things from Spencer's clothes to put in my hospital bag.
• Buy some PJ pants for me to take to the hospital.  Probably dumb, but I want something new to take.
• Clean up the guest room.  There are so many stacks of books and Christmas things in there.
• Buy two storage tubs to store all of the 6-9m and 9-12m clothes.  I'm starting to pull out the 12-18m stuff now too, but those can go in boxes until all of them are out of the rotation.
• Continue doing my HypnoBabies tracks.  I need to be doing more of the practices during the day.
• Put a few little things on our WalMart registry.  I know our church is having a shower for us, and most people would shop there, most likely.  Even if no one gets the things from the registry, at least I'll have a good list of the little things we still need (it's piddly things like a new bottle brush to clean my breastpump, etc.).
• Straighten up the computer room.  I need to clear out my Weight Watchers inventory.  I've been meaning to take it to my meetings for the last few weeks, but things have been too hectic to mess with it.  Our Winter Inventory is coming up the first week of March, and I obviously don't want to deal with it then, so I'm going to go ahead and fill it out now.
• Buy a gift bag and put together Miles's Big Brother present.  I have everything I'm going to put in there, I think, but it needs to be ready to go.
• Bring in the baby swing from the storage building and locate all of the infant head pillow pieces (to the swing and carseat).
• Install the infant carseat in the Jeep, move Miles's seat to the outboard seat (I still don't want to do this), and put the other infant carseat in the Honda.  I wish we had a 2nd carseat for Miles.  I've found the next carseat I want to buy, the Graco My Ride 65 .  Babies R Us has one that matches all of our infant gear ( which I realize is a little silly, everything doesn't need to match), but it's also a great budget carseat.  It seems it would be a good option for us, since Miles isn't super tall or super chubby.  It allows rear-facing up to 40 lbs.

I'm tired just listing all of this!
