I am a planner. And a bit of an excessive planner at that. Since I decided I was a dumb woman who wanted a baby, I have been planning away for this baby. I have a special “Baby Folder” that I keep hidden under my desk that contains all my grandiose baby plans. In my folder I have the following.
- Baby Book List (A list of all the books I currently have and, gasp, more I must get)
- Calendar with due dates for pre-TTC duties
- Printed out medical studies dealing with pregnancy and my blood disorder
- Print out of my insurance’s maternity coverage as well as fertility coverage
- A Pregnancy check list (because you can never be too prepared)
- An in depth first year baby budget that I painstakingly planned down to each sock I need to buy
- List of questions I asked my GYN at the pre-TTC visit
And in the left pocket:
- My glorious financial plan
- Confirmation for my upcoming vacation
- Print outs of “Bright Beginnings” Online course
- More budget data.
Now what else can I plan???
