Best Piddler around

So, 26 days til due date.....OMG!!!  The closer it gets, the more anxious I get.  It's crunch time!!!  I am hoping that by the end of this weekend I'll feel much less anxious - I'm planning to be super productive this weekend.  This is the first weekend in awhile that we'll be home and don't have any plans, so it'll be a good opportunity to get things crossed off the list.  The list:

• Pack hospital bag
• I've been talking about doing this since about month 5 and it's still not done.  Cody is convinced it's going to be left up to him to do at go-time and that he'll pack all the wrong things.  So I really need to get this done to ease his mind. 
• Make returns & purchase things we still need
• Home Depot/Lowe's for closet organization supplies for baby's closet
• Install car seat bases (have to get inspected at police station)
• Find lamp for nursery
• Get rod for window valence and some shears
• Pick up a couple shelves for baby's walls
• Put up crib mobile, wall art, etc.
• Discuss insurance - evaluate whose to add baby to, should we all 3 be on one, etc.
• Upload all the fun photos from the last couple weeks
• Thank you's from last 2 showers (how embarrassing that these aren't done yet - especially the ones from my April 23rd shower - I'm ashamed)

There, now that I have a list, maybe I'll actually hold myself to it.  I told my mom I need her to come down and light a fire under my a$$.  Whenever she comes down to help me get stuff done, we are super productive and she keeps me focused.  This week I've spent 3 nights organizing the nursery - you'd think there'd be nothing left to do - but you'd be wrong.  My Gma Mack, God love her, was the queen of piddling - but I'm finding that I probably could've given her a run for her money in a "best piddler" contest.  I remember always thinking "what is Gma doing all day?" and now I'm wondering "How did I just keep myself busy for 3 hours and have nothing to show for it?"  (If you ask Cody, he'd say maybe it was all the facebook breaks I took.  Oopsy - he's on to me.)  It's like I'm moving things from one pile to a different pile.  Sigh. 

Anyway - I hope to report back on Sunday night that I am now ready for the baby.  Then I'll feel like can relax and take it easy the rest of May and just wait for him to make his grand arrival.

Here's to a productive next few days!!!  And here's to the baby NOT inheriting my piddling and procrastination tendancies.
