This is so overwhelming that the only way to do it is in bullets!

-Choose a pediatrician (Status: Have been asking for recommendations. Will be making phone calls/arrangements around 32 weeks)

-Install carseat (Status: Will probably do this closer to 35 weeks)
-Finish nursery (Status: Will be painted tomorrow, crib and dresser have been ordered, rug has been ordered)
-Read more on labor (Status: Slacking!!!!! I think out of terror….)
-Make freezer meals (Status: Will be doing this the last weekend of August. I have collected quite a few recipe ideas.)
