I have an Amazon cart ready to go with diapers, wipes, paper plates, cups, etc.. Whenever I think of something I added to the cart. My husband needs to finish cleaning out the nursery room and then I can start moving stuff in and finish ordering stuff.

Meet with HR this week to establish my dates for maternity leave and get the phone numbers I'll need while I'm out to make sure I get paid by work/state/whoever..

While reading the info at work I noticed I need to add baby to my insurance within 30days of birth day, make sure to get a copy of birth certificate and get a social security number for baby.. Wasn't even thinking of that stuff.
