what's left?

As you can see by this month's header, we are preparing for sleep. Strike that. We are trying to sleep now, so when new baby comes we will function without sleep. Strike that. Who functions without sleep? Not the Jackson family. We know what's coming. We've done this before. I so wish there was a way to store up sleep, you know like in a jar? So, that way, when we are lacking sleep, we can just pour some of it from the jar into our bodies and be good to go! But since that can't happen and my doctor told me to walk, walk, walk so this baby might come on his/her own, instead of being induced, I set my alarm earrrrly yesterday and did just that. Forget sleep. Just walk. Walking has to be one of THE most boring things to do in all the world. I very much prefer running, just not when I'm pregnant.

So, as I was walking, I found myself thinking about what's left to be done before baby comes. I really do not know. It seems like so much, but yet, nothing. We have our 3rd baby monitor now. Because our bedroom is downstairs and the boys sleep upstairs in different rooms, we have 2 different monitors. Now, we have 3--a new one for the nursery, though baby will be in our room for a bit. So, check--that's done. We have some diapers thanks to friends and purchases. Check, that's done. I mean, really, what else is there? I know I could google things to bring to the hospital, but I think that's the reason I had too much stuff or not the right stuff at the hospital the other times around. I know I am 4 weeks out from due date, but that's where my walking led my thoughts . . .help a girl out. . .What was your "must have" for the hospital? And, how did you prepare for your new little addition?
