I have been posting list after list of all sorts of things that I have yet to do. (Sorry if it's been tedious for you.) I realized over the weekend that I'm so ready for this baby to come. It's still a bit early, I know, but I'm just ready to hold this little guy and smell him and kiss his neck while he sleeps and wrap him up tight. I am really beside myself with excitement for those moments.
With that revelation, I further realized that the lists of what needs to be done just doesn't matter to me anymore. That scared me a bit, but it's almost like I sensed that this would happen a couple weeks ago. While I was in the midst of the intense nesting I picked out everything left to put things together, so that when the money was available I could just 1-click it and not have to make any more decisions.
But there are a few things that I have been putting off. I don't know why really. They're way more important than re-hanging a few pictures or dying burp clothes (more to come on that, I promise!). They're the things that HAVE to be done within the next couple weeks.
- Pre-register at the hospital - DONE - Will take care of that tomorrow @ my appt.
- Get pre-approved for my hospital stay w/ the insurance company - DONE - Responsibilty of my midwife
- Schedule and go on tour of birthing center - DONE - Tuesday, April 22, 6-7pm
- Find out where hospital is (that one is pretty important!) - DONE - Directions are bookmarked and emailed to husband
- Make a list of what needs to be packed in my bag for the hospital stay - I still need your help with this...More to come later...
UPDATE: It feels good to be able to mark those things off of my mental "list-of-things-I-need-to-do-but-am-putting-off-for-no-valid-reason-other-than-I-am-lazy"! I also found out some very wonderful news from my insurance company. Get a load of this... When I had my firstborn, she cost us close to $5000 for delivery and hospital stay. I've been expecting something similar or worse for this baby. It's been weighing heavy on my heart and our checkbook. Well, I found out today that our cost will only be a $600/day co-pay. That's it! Can you even believe it? Everything else is 100% covered! Praise the Lord God Almighty!!! As my dad said, this baby will be a "blue light special"! Nice, Dad.
