Very depressed to tell you that there has been no change in my labor progress…

And my to do list is almost done (just in time)…

1. Put up the crib - the same one that I used for Chandler and Taylor - Now waiting to have carpets cleaned
2. Evaluate whether the bedding or mattress needs to be replaced - I bought all the fabrics to create her crib bedding including little blankets and things.  I have been working on sketches now.  Start sewing next week???
3. Move the changing table out of my office and empty it out - it is currently serving as a tv stand and office organizer
4. Purchase a stroller and carseat
5. Pack for the hospital - I just have a list of things for the cooler that needs to be packed when we leave 
6. Buy all those fun, but unmentionable, things that we girls have to buy to care for ourselves after giving birth
7. Do about 20 loads of baby laundry
8. Buy diapers, wipers and all the baby things needed for the baby changing station - just need a countoured changing pad and covers
9. Buy all the bath things 
10. Register at the hospital
11. Finish my Birth Plan
12. Buy a baby swing and bouncy seat - found a seat but the swing is elusive.  I pick one that I like and then read the reviews and find myself at square one again!
13. Pick up my bassinet from my brother and his wife
14. Buy a baby monitor 
15. Convince hubby of Bebe’s name
16. Register for baby things  
17. Find a diaper bag - I think I found one that I like and as a back up, my brother’s wife is also bringing a diaper bag that she is not using
18. Convince Jason that we do not need a guest bedroom, a nursey is more practical 
19. Draw up a design for the closet in the GB/Nursery, build it and install it (ha ha!!)
20. Have carpets steam cleaned
21. Find some fabulous Thank You cards and start filling them out
22. Research “First Announcements”, a baby announcement sight that jazzes up your initial texts/call/emails and sends them out for you

Another exam today and still no change.  Doc wants to see me again on Thursday.

I have gained almost 9 pounds now.  Super bummed that she is not here yet.
