So, I saw that someone on my birth board posted a "to do" list - listing things she was going to do every week until baby came. I decided to do something similar and all of a sudden it dawned on me - HOLY cow.. there's only 23 weeks left. That seems like a lot. Until you list all of the things that need to be done before baby P gets here! All of a sudden, I started feeling behind! So, in my true OCD/organizing fashion, here I am, blogging my list - organized by category.
