Fifteen on Friday
Here is a portion of my pre-Boo to-do list; these are all things that will effect him directly (I’m currently omitting things like clean fridge, dust blinds…you know, the fun stuff). I’m sure there are other things that have and will come to mind, but right now I’ll share “Fifteen on Friday” because it makes for good alliteration in the title.
1. Find and purchase boy crib bedding that I actually like and can afford
2. Choose a paint color for Boo’s walls
3. Find new homes for various items remaining in Boo’s room
4. Prep and paint trim and walls
5. Hang closet doors
6. Buy mattress and box springs for Little’s big-girl bed
7. Move nursery furniture to Boo’s room
8. Find chair that I would like in Boo’s room (and hope it is in the budget)
9. Buy burp cloths that aren’t pink
10. Go through Little’s clothes to see what can be used for a boy
11. Create registries
12. Find a double stroller that I’m willing to push (and can maneuver)
13. Purchase sling(s), nursing pillow, and possibly some other “wants” for myself
14. Wash clothes, bedding, blankets, fabric parts of equipment, etc.
15. Set up tour of maternity floor at hospital since it is a different hospital than where Little was born
And there you have it. Now if I can just quit procrastinating and get some of these things crossed off…eleven weeks to go!
I saw your link on Leah’s page – how are you? Just wanted to say I have a Graco Dou-Glider (not sure I spelled that right) that I love and the girls love it too!
Sounds like a good list! I hope you find some bedding…Mom got me a double stroller at Goodwill and I haven’t used it yet. Since Little is a little smaller than Bubbie, you will probably need it, but I’ve realized that I have used Little PEanut in the stroller and Bubbie walks or I put both in the buggy…. Or sling Little Peanut and let Bubbie have the stroller. I haven’t been anywhere yet that I need both in a stroller…. Its still at their house. I need to get it. I know it’ll come in handy when I need to keep both contained especially once Little Peanut starts moving a lot more!!!
Jana, that is quite a list!!! Do you have friends nearby that can help out? You have to let me know where you’re registered!
What a fun list! You are right, the other stuff can wait. (Because it’s not like once you do you will never have to do it again.) But picking out bedding, now there is a fun factor!
It won’t be long! With all these jobs to do, it will fly by!
I have a very similar list I could add o it everyday. Hope you get it all done!
