Preparing for my “Little Man”

I was thinking the other day WOW! We still have a ways to go till we get to hold him. Well, then I realized that it’s only 12 weeks. Three months sounds a lot longer than 12 weeks. So, now I am starting to kind of panic. What do I have done and what do I still need to get accomplished.

Well here is just my little list of things done.

• get pregnant
• go to Dr.
• tell Joe
• tell everyone else

Here is a list of things I still have yet to accomplish.

• Get his bedroom ready.
• Buy him a crib
• Car seat/stroller – Bought still need to buy 2 bases for the car seat
• Bottles and stuff
• Clothes
• Make very important decisions (which seams I’ll be making those on my own) as to breast-feeding or not.
• Move the current bed out of bedroom and make room for the crib that hasn’t been bought yet. (My brother and dad are going to do that for me hopefully tomorrow)
• We still need to go for those pre-baby classes (havin’ a brain fart and can’t think of what they are called.)
• Oh to me these are biggies.  I want to paint and clean the carpets
• Find out how to baby proof our home. Is that even possible?
• Be thinking of a new ring-tone I want because when lil’ man gets here I am sure I don’t want him hearing “Answer the phone or I’m whoppin’ your ass” every time Joe calls me.
• Figure out a Pediatrician? Do I want him to go to our Dr. Office? There is a pediatrician in the office.
• Do I want him to get circumcised? Umm; ok I did already decide that one.
• Still relax – Oh yeah that is an easy one. NOT!

Of course there are a lot more things to get ready and yet I haven’t done any of them. I am assuming I will get it done before he comes to live with us outside the uterine hotel.

I know I am stressing but I mean helloooo I have figuratively speaking 12 weeks to buy furniture and make him a room. Make all the other wonderful decisions that need to be made.

I will be writing more on this process as we go along. So, be patient… I’m also wanting to make something for my lil’ man but can’t seem to make up my mind as to what or how to do it. I have always thought of myself as creative until now so I am totally lost.
