Don't expect to get all this done before she gets here. There's stuff I wanted to do before Colton got here that hasn't happened! And don't worry about it after she comes either-just enjoy your new baby. That stuff doesn't matter.

Like DeeJay said though, don't worry about getting it all done before she gets here or even afterwards. If you need help with anything, let us know though... we can trade handypeople favors! :)
