Update -- 5 Weeks! Will She EVER Get Here????

SO, last weekend included Mother's Day, and while my loving husband does not take part in gift-giving typically, Grandma Lassiter (along with everyone who called/texted/messaged) helped me celebrate my near-motherhood lifestyle!!

Clint's mom took me to Babies R Us to pick up some goodies for the baby. We managed to stretch the money needed for a bassinet to get a bassinet, changing table, and a few other things for Peanut!!! I am soooo completely grateful, Mom!!

Otherwise, I just sit here waiting (im)patiently for Lorelai to arrive. It seems like this will never end. My temp started Monday, so that kind-of makes it seem more real, but geesh.

Our last shower is planned for the 23rd -- though I've received very few RSVPs. It is making me nervous.

As far as my "Action Items" go, here's the update (if they've disappeared from the last post, they're done!):

1. Start interviewing pediatricians. I originally thought my OB is a pediatrician, but I found out that he is not . . . I have NO idea how to find the right one. I don't know enough people around here . . . .
2. Take a tour of maternity ward. I just have to call and make the appointment. Mondays from 5-6.
3. Baby-proof your home. Have the supplies, just need to do.
4. Interview babysitters/daycares. We have someone in mind -- just need to confirm. I may see her this weekend.
5. Get an easy-to-maintain haircut. I am pushing off dying it as long as possible, but it's just bad. In conjunction with #4, I will hopefully get this done this weekend. 
6. Get any items still needed for the baby. I have 1 shower still. I know I won't get the furniture I want, since it is so expensive, so I am trying to save up for that. The armoire just went on clearance on Amazon.com, so I'm hoping to get it before it disappears!! Other things we still need/want:
1. diapers
2. bottles
3. formula 
4. diaper pail
5. sun shade (for outdoors)
6. pack n' play
7. rocking chair/glider
8. swing
9. rug
10. misc. small stuff (car mirror, sheets, toys, etc.)
7. Install car seat and get it inspected. We have the seat -- just need to install.
8. Pick out a birth announcement. This just seems ridiculous.
9. Address birth announcement envelopes. This makes a little more sense. I still have Thank Yous that need to be finished, though. I will try, but there are no promises. Wait - don't I have to have the announcement envelopes before I can address them? Hmmm . . . well, refer to #8.
10. Finalize maternity leave paperwork. Still haven't done this -- I did check into it, though. I am to call some phone number soon after Peanut arrives, to confirm that I am taking short-term disability, and that should do the trick. However, I have to train my temp, get my files moved to her computer or the network, and have everything organized in preparation for her to take over. Yikes. I'd rather fill out a few maternity leave papers.
11. Write will. Yep, definitely need to do. And update life insurance. And include godparents.
