I don’t know if you’re aware, but BlogHer is a mere two days away. And we’re leaving for San Jose tomorrow morning. The earlier, the better. Because HOT and because BABY. I just wanna get the drive over with as soon as I can. I’m excited, scared, nervous, and in denial all at once. The denial part bcause I haven’t packed a single thing yet. I did some laundry this morning, does that count? So, in the hopes of organizing myself a little better, I’m gonna make a to do list. Now, whether I get all this stuff done remains to be seen. But it’s a step in the right direction
- Finish laundry, making sure to have something decent looking to wear to the conference. DO NOT forget extra outfits for the baby because lord knows we’ll need them.
- Pack Harry’s clothes, making sure to remember pajamas which I often forget. Also: extra underwear. REMEMBER his toothbrush. SWIMSUIT a must. If I forget that I may as well turn around and go back home.
- Pack baby’s clothes. Does baby get own suitcase? Or a portion of my suitcase? Would there even be ROOM in my own suitcase? Judging from all the crud we need to take, I’m thinking I need to make room. Because one less bag is going to be worth it. Remember to pack every diaper we have because we will need them. Wipes are also a good idea.
- Oooh, don’t forget the breastpump. And the pack n’ play. And all those bottles. And the milk we have stored in the fridge. Boppy too. Plenty of blankets and burp rags. Did I mention the breastpump?
- Pack electronic goodies. Maybe carry laptop in diaper bag? Don’t forget power cord and network cable. Also: camera and extra batteries. Am I forgetting something here? The laptop is of utmost importance, I can’t stress this enough. LAPTOP, LAPTOP, LAPTOP.
- Oh, don’t forget to pack those business cards I had made up at Vista Print too. They’ve got my URL and email on them, very handy!
- Make sure Kile packs his stuff too. Though he’ll probably wait until tomorrow morning.
- Toiletries! Don’t forget shampoo, conditioner, straightening iron, hair goop, makeup case, pills, etc and so forth. Basically: everything in the bathroom must go. Especially hairbrush, cuz I’ve forgotten that one before.
- I should probably pack my bathing suit too, just in case. But I refuse to actually wear it in front of anyone. Remember: I had a baby three weeks ago.
- Also to do today: 2 week post-op appointment with OB. Get “all clear” to drive again. Also, show off cute baby. Make a stop by Walmart too, to pick up pictures and maybe browse for outfit for BlogHer? Should buy some diapers and wipes too.
And, in closing, I have a series of cute baby pictures. He was kickin’ it on my lap last night, alert as all get out so of course I had to do the parent thing and snap a bazillion pictures.
