And Then There Were 30

I'm estimating that my last day at work will be March 15. Of course, we plan and God laughs. Between now and then, there are still a few things to do. Believe it or not, even though we aren't doing anything to the nursery until the matzo ball arrives, there are still several things I can do (not enough to warrant working from home, but still thinks I need to scratch off my list).

First up: We are getting the car seat base installed tomorrow. When Adam and I were babies, we were lucky if the car we were riding in had a seat belt - let alone a car seat. Rather than going to the DMV at a time that is convenient for neither of us (no Moorpark CHP, 3 p.m. on a Tuesday is NOT feasible), we are having a woman come to the house and give us a lesson in car seat safety (I just hope she doesn't quiz us).

Next: We have to finish up Lamaze. One of the Lamaze classes was canceled, so I'm not sure when we're going to be able to make it up since the Thursday after is Infant CPR. It's been informative, I just hope I've absorbed enough information to make it work when I go into Labor.

Then: Select the newborn photographer. This was actually made easier thanks to Stephanie who recommended Evie's photographer - and it is totally within our budget. Timewise, the photographers like to take pictures when babies are 5-7 days old - which will land us the day of Passover (or at least earlier that morning). The good news is she'll come to the house, so at least the family will be around.

So these are the next three on the list -- the list I've been trying to tackle to the best of my ability. I know we'll have a bunch more things to scratch off once she arrives, but at this point, anything that keeps my mind off the waiting is a good thing!
