 Topic: To Do List before Birth
Posted: 20 October 2008 at 12:18pm |
|
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:
Vaccinate the pets
Rego and Warrant on car
