The Big Checklist: The Countdown is on

There are still a lot of little projects and a few big ones left in the nursery. Yesterday Rhett and Kunu moved out of the baby's room and Ryan vacuumed and shampooed the carpet for me. The room is now a blank slate, an empty canvas. I have all the ideas in my head of how it's going to look, I just hope I haven't severely missed the mark and planned a hot mess!

Here is a checklist of the things I could think of off the top of my head that need done, and soon:

- Clean closet doors and window sill and blind.
- Paint inside the closet
- Install the closet system
- Line the dresser drawers
- Dye the curtains again (one bottle was decent, I just want more saturation)
- Cut and hem curtains and add elephants with fabric paint
- Install curtain rod and hang curtains
- Put Ikea bookcase together Thanks Ryan!
- Put crib together (when we got the crib the lady didn't have the hardware with her, she said it was mailed over 2 weeks ago, but I still haven't received it. Starting to panic about that a little!)
- Paint all picture frames, frame art and hang
- Wash all clothing and fabric
- Make new cushions for the rocking chair
- Make crib skirt (contingent on crib measurements once it's set up)
- Make crib quilt (contingent on crib measurements once it's set up)
- Make pillows

These are just some of the things I could think of off the top. I'm sure there are a few things I'm forgetting. With 35 days left till my due date just looking at this list is making me nauseous! HOW oh HOW am I going to get all of this done? It probably wouldn't be so hard normally, but being almost 40+ lbs heavier than my normal weight and the other cons that come with the 3rd trimester have my exhausted before I can even think to begin. I think I need a miracle, that's what!

The rocking chair is done and put back together, I just need to get a few after pics.

  1. Don't stress too much on the checklist Amanda! Morgan is 4 1/2 months old and her room is still gutted and unfinished! Sad, yes - but she still sleeps in her bassinet in our room!

  2. Thanks Chelsea,

    Yeah, I realize I need to take this all one day at a time. As long as I have the essentials we should be good! :)
