As the due date is approaching, I am becoming more anxious about getting everything ready. We've made quite a progress so far:
- Reserved a spot for baby boy in the child development center of our choice
- Selected and interviewed a pediatrician for baby boy
- Submitted registration papers for the birthing hospital
- Unpacked, assembled and put away all the wonderful baby shower presents
- Bought everything else we still needed for baby
- Gave notice for my last day of work at my part-time job (February 18th!)
- Wrote and sent out many, many thank you notes...

| So much gratitude |
I also managed to quickly knit a super-soft newborn hat for the little guy to match his cardigan.

Things we are still in the process of doing or need to do:
- My wonderful mama is in the processing of washing and ironing all the baby's newborn and 0-3 months clothes (hvala mama!)
- Hubby is working hard on getting the bathroom done
- Apply for FMLA
- Make sure all my work is smoothly transitioned to coworkers (write instructions and train back up resources)
- Hubby and I have a couple of more prenatal classes to attend
- Start packing the hospital bag
- Install the baby car seat and have it inspected at a local inspection station
- Clean up the house from top to bottom
- More...
