The List(s)

This week marks the beginning of my 6th month of pregnancy.  With only 14-16 weeks left I felt like it was probably time for me to actually read my Pregnancy Guide.  According to my OB I have some work to do this month which includes....
  1. Signing up for child birth class & breast feeding class
  2. Taking a tour of the hospital
  3. Starting prenatal yoga class 
  4. Pre registering with hospital administration
  5. Working on our birth plan
Easy stuff and nothing that my doctor hadn't already mentioned.  Then, when reading Dear Baby this morning, Melissa had a list of items she needed to do/buy before the birth of her 2nd child.  The list included.......
  1. Give the house a good deep cleaning.  
  2. Stock up on hand soap/sanitizer. 
  3. Load up on Pads/Depends.    
  4. Buy some granny panties. 
  5. Add a waterproof mattress cover. 
  6. Give friends a key to the house. 
  7. Freeze some dinners in advance.  
  8. Purchase disposable breast pads
This list seemed much more helpful, especially since this is my rookie season.  I mean seriously.....Depends......no one tells you about that kind of stuff.  So if I missed anything PLEASE let me know.  I've obviously never done this before and need all the advice I can get.  Thanks!
