Progress Update

In my early pregnancy, I have started a How to Start?When to Start blog.

Now in my 3rd trimester stage, I should start to do a Progress Update entry (checklist in the sense).

• Booking of Antenatal Course (Course completed)
• Booking of massage lady (Although have been researching quite a bit on this and getting recommendations from experienced moms, still have not decided whether to spend this money or not. Can it a "must-have" or "good-to-have"?
• Booking of babysitter (Since I can't get a reliable babysitter, have decided to get a maid instead. Considered it done. Now waiting for the approvals to come and the maid to arrive in another month's time or so. Will have another round of work to do when to start teaching her. Sighz. Just hope she is a good and reliable maid who don't give us any much problems)
• Preparation of baby's room (Already planned the layout and knew what items to buy. Now waiting for the IKEA (my birthday ) vouchers before we buy them in June. Assembling of items is on case-by-case basis due to "pantang-ness"). Room should only be ready when the baby comes home)
• Getting ready the baby's stuffs (Most of the stuffs have been bought and we have been given some hands-me-downs from nice people. Only left some miscellaneous stuffs to be bought. Also to be able to complete by end June)
• Giving prenatal education to the baby (Oh no...Didn't do much throughout the pregnancy though I thought I would. Baby only listen to whatever pop songs that we listen lor. And whatever conversations we have.. haha.. Ok I admit I am a lazy mother )
• To sign-up for prenatal exercise (Finishing my last lesson of the prenatal yoga next week. Wondering if I should continue for a few more lessons in June so as to keep body well-prepared for the labour, and also to stretch my aching muscles...)
  

Additional items to do:

• To source for a pest control company - To disinfect the baby's room cuz there are some housemites on the walls.
  
• To source for a place to wash & disinfect the soft toys, & hands-me-down baby's pillow and bolster. (Any place to recommend? Normal laundry shop?)
• To start washing the new and hands-me-down baby clothes once the baby's cabinet has been bought and assembled in June.
• To disinfect the hands-me-down baby's equipments in June.
  

Well. it seems like there's still some miscellaneous work to be done and completed here and there. I hope I can finally stop thinking about all those preparation work soon and relax in my last few weeks of pregnancy.
