The B.B.A List

John and I have started checking off the items on our B.B.A List (Before Baby's Arrival List). I've heard that the mommy-to-be will "nest" before the baby arrives (defined as the uncontrollable need to clean one's house, brought on by the desire to prepare a "nest" for the new baby), but I think we are both involved in this nesting process. I've also read that nesting can lead to irrational tasks, such as scrubbing the stove with a toothbrush at 4 a.m; I do not think anything I've included on our B.B.A List is irrational, maybe preparing and assigning a name to an actual list is a little odd, but I want to be sure things get done. The list, so far, includes:

• Cleaning and scheduling any needed maintenance on my car (done)
• Preparing frozen meals for after Charlotte's arrival (done)
• Assembling, installing and organizing all the baby stuff (almost done)
• Cleaning all the baby's clothes, bedding and other washables (not done)
• Organizing my work stuff so I can easily pick up where I left off (almost done)
• Organizing all the pantry items so we have to do little shopping those first 6 weeks (almost done)
• Create more storage space (kinda done)
• Organize a child-care schedule for my return to work (not done)

I think these are all super-reasonable things, and seeing them listed and being able to check items off as I go, that makes me extremely happy! Anything I missed?
