To Do Before Baby #2

Once upon a time there was a pregnant lady, she was running away from a fog monster, she knew once it touched her skin that she would fall into slumber for 100 years, so she ran and ran and for awhile she felt she was outrunning it! Horray for me she said but then it started to gain pace and she could feel its breath brushing at her heels......

Well thats where I'm up to at the moment except its not a monster you can see, its the exhausting tiredness that hits you near the end of your pregnancy. It happens right about when your body says 'this is ridiculous, I cant eat, stand up, tie my shoes, roll over in bed' so it starts to shut down. All the meanwhile I have a 19 month old who can think of nothing more enjoyable than tipping the rice bubble all over the floor. (She looked too cute to tell off)

So I am aware my energy wont last forever and as the six week to go mark approach I can feel smug towards all those people that tell me I am 'too organised' as thankfully I am able to write my 'to do list' without filling up a whole note-pad.

My To Do before Baby Number #2 List:


One. Move Bianca from her cot into her big girl bed and buy a bed rail to use at Nana's


Two. Set up the change table and install capsule in car


Three. Buy a bouncer; a 1-5 year Baby Book; buy a photo album for new baby and thank you cards in advance


Four. Enrol Bianca in play centre for two mornings each week


Five. Stock pile dry food essentials; cat food, washing powder, toilet paper, toothpaste and NAPPIES



Six. Make to freeze; sweet and savoury muffins, pumpkin soup and lasagne



Seven. Have Chris build the shelving in Bianca's big girl room


I do have mummy brain so if you see any stuff missing from this list that was especially helpful to do before your babies arrived, please let me know.
