Anything you wish you had done / prepped before baby?

Can I just say Liz how much I love your questions- This isn't my first pregnancy and I still get so much from them. I am a planner by nature too, so I appreciate your posts a ton!

I would recommend stocking up on things for you- I got a big stash of pads- No tampons allowed! I also like to use Target brand feminine wipes- like the Always brand but they have a better smell. I use them around that time of the month too, and you'll be bleeding for a long time! and shampoos and lotions/soaps/etc. Stuff for the baby is good too. This time around since I have my 3.5 yr old I plan on stocking up on her things too- lotions and soaps and snacky items. I plan on throwing in a few inexpensive toys too so she can have some "rewards" and I will already have them handy. I still have about 3.5 months until I will be induced, and I am already making lists for closer to!

THanks Carrie :) I am a planner to the end and just want to be prepared as possible. I am also a "do-it-yourselfer" and I know my hubby and family CAN do things later but we are all going to go crazy for a good 2 weeks I'm sure! lol

Thanks for the list! I am adding it to mine!

 Girl I hear ya!  I am so overwhelmed with how much has to get done before my little man gets here.  

I was just asking my Best friend who had a baby in Dec this very question.  She suggested STOCKING UP on paper plates and plastic cups etc. so you don't have to do dishes.  I was like i never would have thought of that!

Also, I would get tucks with witch hazel and colace. Those are two items that the nurses at the hospital told me to buy after my vaginal births and they were a life saver.
