Check

It feels great to get things checked off a list of to-dos. Not to mention the stress relief that comes when thinking about all that needs to be done before Miles gets here. So, here are some things I've checked off quite recently:

• Found a long-term sub
• Had baby shower
• Took tour of Maternity Center at Providence Hospital
• Had maternity paperwork signed by principal including my Family Medical Leave Form and my letter for a free breast pump (have yet to submit, but glad the signatures are done)
• Signed up and paid for child birth classes (start next Wednesday)
• Asked around for child care options - have two potential leads

Believe me when I tell you this list is tiny compared to what's left to do, but nevertheless, it feels good to have a couple things out of the way.
