Ten Weeks to Go & To Do List

Dear Conor,

Today is the ten week mark.  In ten weeks you should be here.  It is time to get our bottoms in gear and get things moving.

I was supposed to have a trial tomorrow but things have changed so I am going to work hard today to get a lot of my work done and then spend tomorrow sanding and priming your bedroom woodwork.

My hope is that if I can get that done then Saturday I can paint and if not on Saturday then Sunday I can wash the floors.  Once the floors are washed and waxed and the ceiling fan dusted we can move the furniture into your room and I can start putting things in order.

Your crib is still at Grandma Janet's and I am 100% certain that she wants it out of her spare room so she can have that space back :)

So, here is my Mommy-Do List
(1) sand trim
(2) prime trim
(3) paint trim and beadboard
(4) clean ceiling fan
(5) wash and wax floors
(6) move into bedroom (including assembling crib)
(7) wash and iron bedding
(8) organize clothes, diapers, and all other baby stuff

Then it's on to the bathroom where I need to prime and paint and get some shelves up so we can store all your bathroom stuff (plus ours and Hunters) in a more orderly fashion.

This is a big list but I feel it I break it down into tasks per day and give myself deadlines then we will be ready to go for November 1, 2011.

What?  Why November 1st you ask when you are not due to be here until December 6th?  Well, your arrival doesn't stop the world from turning and I have Christmas shopping to do!!!  Plus, I will feel better if I have a few weeks to "tweek" things as I see fit and am not spending that time running around trying to actually get organized.

I'll update you after the weekend with our progress :)

xoxo
Mom

PS.  I also have to finish the Thank-You cards from your showers.  The first batch of 12 went out today and I hope to have another batch out byThursday!
