Vaccinate the pets

Rego and Warrant on car

Have the cupboards filled with food (either by you, or someone else)

Make sure you have your bags packed

Set up direct debits for your bills

get haircut

get body waxed

Set up an online grocery list so all you have to do is click to shop later on

Arrange childcare for older children

Employ dog walking service.

Win lotto

Make sure 'someone' brings in lots of firewood, and chops all the kindling.

baby proof house - it will be a long time before they can crawl and destroy but finding time to do it later is really hard

un-clutter house

Make 'thank you cards' in advance if you want them for after baby is born.
(I have just written in plain white cards and will stick a pic of bubs on the front when s/he arrives

Get Plenty of Rest- sleep in on your days off/maternity leave before baby

Make up the cot or bassinet

Organise a carseat that will be ready to take Bubba home from the hospital

Buy nursing bras and breast pads

Tour hospital or birthcare centre and check out facilities

Make a list of important phone numbers (midwife, Dr, Plunket, Poison's Centre, Family etc.) and stick on the wall by the phone

Save some money!!

Finish baby's room...or in my case whole house!

Wash all baby's new clothes.

Set up group email list to tell when baby arrives. Also text group list if phone does that.

Buy any birthday presents for family/ friends having birthdays in month after baby is born.

If have toddler or older children make a box of special activities that you can do with them when feeding or that are novetly and will keep them entertained when you need a spare minute.

Hi ladies,

Just thought I would start a "To Do" list of things that are a good idea to sort out before the birth, or before we get too big to do. Thought our powers combined could jog a few memories and avoid a few"OMG, I forgot to....." moments.

Copy and add to list to make it easier to follow:
