Let the nesting begin...

Let's be honest, nesting set in WAY before today. But for some reason, March 1st feels like some kind of deadline that should be at least 2 months away... but it's not... it... was... yesterday. And now I feel like the "oh shiiiiizzz" scramble coming on. I knew February would FLY by with all the classes and showers and other fun stuff we had to do, and now I'm realizing March will probably be the same way with our pediatrician open house, bi-weekly Drs appointments, and our final mothers first class for breastfeeding. So, to help me see that there's some light at the end of the tunnel, I'm writing down everything that needs to get done (God willing) this weekend.
Little C's Room
-set up crib
-move the dresser from upstairs into the "mancave" (thankfully big C did this yesterday)
-disassemble and bring up bookshelf from mancave
-go to storage and measure futon (decide if that is going in his room.)
-order and pick up dressers at Ikea
-finish mobile and hang (need ribbon and more paper from Michaels)
-hang wall clings (if we decide where the crib is going)
-print prints for frames
-pick up rocker from Julies [probably going to have to wait until next weekend... then I plan on begging LL to help me understand how I can "recover" it... ;)]
-unpack clothes and sheets, etc and put away in drawers
-need to figure out how many sheets, teething rails, diaper pad covers, etc we have and/or need

Chores/Household
-vaccum/wash couch cover (this requires air drying and ironing and that's why I've procrastinated on doing it, but it MUST be done before little C is here or I will go mad)
-vaccum rugs upstairs and spot clean the "accident" area
-sweep and wash kitchen/dining room floors
-bathe dogs, clean dog beds
-pick up drycleaning... drop off drycleaning...
-clean shower, clean tub in Caleb's room

Other Stuff
-ship 3 hoodies (one down, two to finish and pack up)
-grocery shopping
-print, write and send thank yous for both showers
-install car seat (because why not... it'll be one less thing to worry about later)
-buy a new crockpot
-pick and buy a diaper bag
-pick up onesie from Hobby Lobby
-start packing hospital bag (huh? did I just write that?)
