Birthing day bag (to be packed, esp camera batteries and charger things)

basket/box to be beside you when you are feeding baby (including things to keep Charlotte entertained)

set up automatic orders for regular groceries, fruit and veg, for first three months

set up cleaner to come each fortnight for first few months, to do the wet areas (kitchen/bathroom/loo) or whatever is most time consuming/erks you if not done

automate as many bills as you can online with scheduled bpay payments
You can put in forward dates "pay this amount on this date".
Or if you aren't already doing it, gas and electricity companies for example, you can pay a small amount each fortnight, so that the quarterly bill is much much smaller.

have all your filing up to date

type out nappy washing instructions, put in plastic and blu tac near washing machine, so that if for any reason, you are not able to wash the MCN, whoever does, knows what to do

stock up on household basics e.g loo paper, tinned food. (get someone else to carry all this stuff though).

any birthdays in the next six months, Easter - work out the presents now, wrap them too. Even if all you do is THINK about these events, if you DO have an idea what you would get, at least write down that idea on the calendar, so if you can't go buy it, you can always send someone else like your dh, on a mission to get it. Sometimes the hardest part of a present is to think WHAT to get the person.

Have a special outing/time in with Charlotte - just doing things she loves to do with you.

You may not need all of these things done (in the long run), but if they are done, you will have more time to bond with baby, have time for Charlotte - instead of saying - can't play with you now, gotta pay bills/drag you round the shops/mop the floor etc.

do you feel tired reading my long list?
