Car seat bases are installed!

[hokiegirl82]

One month before my due date so a little early but getting big stuff like that checked off my to-do list makes me feel better. I was surprised how easy it was to put the bases in.

Next up is to work on packing what I can in my hospital bag, getting my fmla paperwork back from the doctor, trying to get some more cleaning and decluttering done and sterilizing some bottles. Pretty much everything else is done except to have this kid.

I think we are due around the same time and I just got started on all of that too! I have my hospital tour this week and my ML starts at the end of the month. I can't wait.

So jealous that your ML starts soon. I would love to be done with work soon because I'm so bored at work but I need to work until the very end if possible. I'm due on a Thursday and will be induced the next Thursday if I don't go into labor on my own. I'm thinking about stopping work possibly the day after my due date since it's a Friday and it'd be nice to have a scheduled end instead of waiting around at work and possibly going into labor at work. Then my employer could have my back up take over the next Monday and have a smooth transition.

I am having a scheduled c section on a Wednesday and figured no way will I want to work on the Mon and Tues before (assuming I don't go into labor before anyway). I have always worked up until the day I deliver with other pregnancies, so I am looking forward to having a few free days if it all works out.

I installed mine at 36.5 weeks and went into labor at 37 weeks - so I'd say you were not too early!

Yay for progress Are you doing any freezer meals or anything like that?

I'm doing some of this stuff now in case I end up going early or need to keep staying on bedrest. I think I will hold off on the car seat though so it isn't exposed to heat or potential crashes any longer than it has to be. That's probably overly paranoid of me.

We're not doing any freezer meals. Partially because I'm lazy and partially because last time I did freezer meals for us they didn't turn out very well. We'll stock up on some easy stuff from
Costco for that first week like rotisserie chicken and some premade stuff. Our grill will be our best friend this summer I'm sure

I installed (ie my friend installed) the carseat and extra base this weekend too. I feel like any time could be go time so now I'm ready

Aren't you supposed to be on bedrest? Doesn't that mean your bum should be in bed and not in the kitchen?

I'm not cooking freezer meals! haha, I meant I ordered the stuff for the hospital bag, sent my H to buy the carseat, etc. I'm being pretty good about resting so far  

Good girl! I was worried you were building bathroom cabinets again. Have you tried playing this game to keep you busy? I find it addictive - geoguessr.com/
