~ organized the baby-cabinet. dollar store bins for zu's sippys, snacks, spoons/forks, and june's bottles, misc., and more toddler snacks at the top. its been a wreck for so long that i'm still surprised every time i open it to complete orderliness.
~ cleaned up my littlest petshops for zu. these are special toys that i plan on only giving to her to play with when little sister is getting fed, so she will be occupied and not feel too neglected. by the way, the new littlest pet shops look terrifying.
~ hung up my post-partum clothes in my closet. i wear the same things first trimester as i do "fourth" trimester, so i just pulled out a few go-to things. it helps to not have to worry about fitting into things immediately upon coming home with a newborn.
~ organized all pumping/nursing/feeding related things. i've got all that necessary stuff sorted and in a pretty box in my room. preparing that felt like preparing for war, but i feel like my attitude in general is a lot more relaxed than last time.
~ went through zu's old baby clothes. this part was just for fun. i actually had this organized about 4 months ago, but i wanted to show my sister some of the cutest outfits.
~ worked on the nursery. karen helped me hang up pictures, pick out some free prints to frame, and make some art for above the bed. june's nursery is also the guest room, so that's why we have a bed in there; now all the nursery needs is the hand-me-down dresser, crib and bedside table that my mom is bringing when she comes in a few weeks.

~ miscellaneous: took some old toys, decor, and clothes to consignment, changed out some curtains in the living room, organized my office desk, moved some stuff to the garage, (mostly) packed the hospital bag, and checked out a bunch of books on natural childbirth.
