Lists made for baby:

I never realized that I might need so many list for the baby. It is basics. Even normalshopping needs list whereas this is life changing. Here are some of the list that I made

1) Hospital list: things that goes on hospital bag for me, baby, and hubby. Food that I might need (though hospital does provide food being Indian and vegetarian makes my taste buds crave for certain kind of food which makes it essential to carry my supplies). Things to do before labor like labor and delivery tour, prenatal classes if am going for any, pre-registration in the hospital. Getting breast pump booked via hospital. Checking with finance if I have any deductible or co payment due for insurance. Providing hospital with pediatrician details. 

2) Booking pediatrician: This took longer for me because I was trying to get same pediatrician as my niece and she is in different hospital to where my delivery is happening. Making a list questions to ask the pediatrician during the meet & greet. 

3) What does the hospital bag have: While I have gone through many lists in various websites, apps, provided by hospital etc.. I personally feel that the hospital bag of mom and dad must have few indispensable items like insurance, wallet, some cash, credit card, keys to house & car, phone with chargers, mp3 player with charger /battery, laptop with charger, if ur parents live abroad and u need to talk to them then international calling card (filled with minutes of course), change of cloth for 2 days, coming home dress for mom and dad (if it matches with baby it is even better :D), socks, flip-flops, towels for mom (might need this during the drive (if the hospital was far off from ur home like mine was) incase the water breaks), toiletries

To make long list short, below is image of my list of things to take to hospital... am not sure how many I might find useful but am taking all of them with me...

4) Things to buy for the baby:

Believe me this list was just the beginning of it. I might have bought a hundreds of other things along with these. Ofcourse I didn't purchase certain must-haves like crib and required accessories like mattress as I had decided on co-sleeping with the child. But that meant that I had get things to keep Blinky safe while sleeping with me and hubby (esp because hubby tends to roll over in sleep).

5) Baby shower guest list & Baby registry: This was a never ending list and required so many visitations and was fought over so many times.

6) Setting up baby room: Still not completed, think it is never going to be completed
