Degrees of readiness.

I'm sure many folks IRL don't believe me when I say, I really don't want Forrest to come early. Well, a few days early would be A-Okay, but not early early. We have various degrees of readiness occurring in the house.

Totally ready:
--Forrest's room
--Clothes (washed, hung, folded)
--Diapers (washed, organized, one pack of sposies ordered to be here on Wednesday)
--Bassinet finally picked up, washed, ready
--Diaper bag (packed and ready to go to the hospital)

Semi-ready:
--My bag for the hospital
--The whole family, mentally. It's starting to sink in that he's coming soon and life will never be the same. For me anyway. I think it is for Josh as well. Heidi...well, she's 3.
--Plan for Heidi while we're in the hospital
--Be well-slept and well-rested before labor (is that possible?)

Still to be done:
--Hospital pre-birth conference. I really have no idea who/when to call when I'm in labor, etc.
--Car seat installation (may be driving niece around next weekend, so I can't install it yet)
--Waiting for a few last things to come (as I discovered we had roughly 2 burp rags and not a single receiving blanket--which I like to use as carseat blankets)
--Finish growing baby ;)
--Roughly 30 things on my To-Do list at work.
