I still have not completed the first set of tasks I set for myself, but I did finish ¾ of last week’s tasks. I also made more food to freeze for Gandalf so that I don’t run out just before or too soon after Sophia is born. It wasn’t on any of my official to do lists, but since it’s about a four-hour process even when I’m not waddling around the kitchen like a duck I consider it a good accomplishment that I’m glad is now out of the way.
I made the after baby shower dinner reservations, the veterinary appointment for Gandalf, and doctor appointment for myself. I have not called the potential babysitter yet, but thank you Leendaluu for those helpful questions. I didn’t even think about asking who else will be visiting while my kid is there. I am keen on the day planning part though because I certainly don’t want to pay someone who will use the TV as a sitter. If the laws allowed for it I don’t mind if she sits everyone down to watch Sesame Street and/or whatever popular kids show for an hour or two, but beyond that I would hope there would be some adult interaction and play time.
If anyone else has some questions to always ask a new sitter that I might not have thought of, Please feel free to send them my way!
This week’s goal is to finish the goals of the previous two weeks (do you see the pattern here?). My other goals are to get some tamales made so that I don’t have to do much cooking soon after Sophia is born and have fun at my baby shower on Saturday!!
