3.) Pick up Changing Table when it comes in

5.) Pack Alyssa's bag for hospital (I decided against packing a baby bag - I think his stuff will fit in my bag)
6.) Pack Rob's bag for hospital
7.) Interview and decide on a Pediatrician (have some good leads, just need to make appointments with them)

I just have to say that I am SO HAPPY to read #10 on your list - you will be so glad that you had your carseat inspected - call the CHP, they are great. Can't wait to hear about his arrival!
