Make Room for Baby

Every day on his way home from work, Josh calls to let me know he is on his way.  Our conversation goes much the same each day.  I ask how his day was, he asks what we're up to, and so on.  Usually, I let him know we're making dinner, or playing, or whatever, but last week after a particularly frustrating time getting dressed where absolutely nothing fit/looked attractive, my natural response to "what are you doing?" was "being an oompa loompa."  Josh answered with something like...well at least you only have 6 months left to go (he has such a way with words, huh).  Instead of getting upset with him for his lack of sympathy response, I immediately brought to his attention that we have way less than 6 months until this baby arrives...in fact, it's more like a little over four.
Having gone through this once already (and life in general), I know how quickly those 4 months turn to 3, and then 2, and then before you know it, a little baby has arrived and needs constant tending to.  Ever since our conversation last week, I have been busy racking my brain with all the things we need to get done before that wonderful day.  You know I love me a good list (and even took the time to name this one), so here's what I've come up with
Mission: Make Room For Baby
Nursery (formerly Colton's room):

in its current state
  • pick out bedding, accessories, etc.
  • paint room
  • reupholster chair?
  • something for corner
  • clean out closet
  • make closet dividers
  • mobile
  • mirror
  •  window treatments
  • accesories

Colton's New Room (formerly guest room):
in its current state...minus cute puppy who is currently lounging next to me instead
  • clean out closet...find place for coats
  • new dresser 
  • big boy bed
  • paint
  • bedding 
    • DIY duvet cover?
  • paint nightstand
  • repaint mirror
  • teepee
  • window treatment?
  • clothes hooks
Miscellaneous:
  • towel hooks in bathroom
  • install bathroom shelves/baskets
  • double stroller
  • book newborn photos
The problem with this list is I'm pretty sure it will get longer before it gets shorter, but at least, it's a start.  Time to start tackling!
