My Life as Lists

If you know me at all, then you know I am a planner; I keep multiple actual planners (professional and personal), I tend to make lists and plans. I have always been that way, a plan means you are prepared in my mind. Granted, there are more times that things don't go according to plan than they actually do...but one can still be prepared at least a little bit.

Since we are newbies at the parenting/having a baby thing I have taken to the world's greatest resource; Pinterest. Gasp! I know, I didn't say Google (oh the horror!). I have been on a multitude of websites and blogs trying to figure out what we really need to get and to do. It is overwhelming and easy to let your mind go crazy about all the stuff you need to get and all the things you need to accomplish before our bundle of joy arrives. So in an effort to be prepared and not find myself in a pickle or wasteful situation I am turning to other mothers and what they have been through, since they've been there and I have not.

However, after boat-loads of research, I have compiled several lists and they are some as follows (granted I am missing Dad's To-Do list and I have not completed the nursery list either):

I know with time things will come together, but I can't help but be eager to check off the boxes in the mean time.
