Preparing the arrival for a newborn should already be a breeze for me, since this is my third one. However, I still need to prepare the necessary checklist to ensure that I have not missed out on anything. Even though, I should be able to re-use the stuffed I used for Zarif, there are a couple of things that needed to be re-borrowed (since I borrowed them then too) and newly bought, cause these things were either borrowed before and now are no longer available, or these things were already missing or thrown away a long long time ago.1) Things to buy
2) Things to borrow
3) Things to find/look for at my mom’s place otherwise, need to be listed under category 1 or 2
4) Things to pack for myself for hospital stay
5) Things to prepare for baby to go back home
6) Things to prepare for Confinement Period
I can't provide my actual table here so, I have cut and pasted a one big list of things that I need to get hold of before I deliver.
