yes, that is right, I am in FULL-BLOWN NESTING MODE... Okay so most of you know I am pretty much on the top of things, I have lists, I get things done, I plan ahead, I organize, etc. However, almost 36 weeks pregnant it is like I go into Super-Christine mode. I have been really relaxed and not stressing over Baby#2's arrival. It has been nice to take the laid-back approach since we aren't decorating the nursery until after her/his arrival. However, it dawned on my just how much prep I needed to do, regardless of the gender... duh, I mean I do need some basic supplies and I do need to prep some basic things and I do need to have something for Baby#2 to wear in the first week of his/her life. Geez, what was I thinking. Hopefully Faith will be right and it will be another girl, that way I can stop feeling a little guilty and just assume it was a maternal instinct to not have a lot of cloths around. :)
Anyway, here is my list. It is from a 3-sheet spreadsheet design I have. I have posted it under Google Documents so David can help me check things off. I will keep you all updated on my progress. Next Doctor visit is the 14th & we will see just how far/if I am progressing. Based on my last pregnancy, I am sure things are moving in the right direction, Kiddo is sitting pretty low & doing a great job of keeping me just mildly uncomfortable. :)

wow...that is quite the list. but, even if you don't get everything done, the baby will be happy and won't even know any thing was missing...I'm sure he/she won't even mind if they just wear the hospital t-shirt and blanket for the first week ;)
You guys have a lot to do.. I think you should get SIL to help.
