The "Before Harper Arrives" To Do Lists

Do you know any "list" people? You know the type...the kind that make a list for EVERYTHING. Well I know someone just like that and that person would be me! I write a list for pretty much anything and everything; be it for what I'm taking on vacation, what I need to get at the grocery store, what I need to accomplish for the week at home or work, what I'm going to blog about for the week, who I need to send invites to for various parties, etc. If something can be categorized into a list... you best believe I'll do it. I'm telling you...my obsession with lists is probably not healthy. So needless to say, when I found out I was pregnant with Harper, a list lists were began of all that I needed to accomplish before she arrived. I hadn't planned on sharing my lists on my blog but after reading Tiffany's list over at The Austin Family Diary of all that she hoped to accomplish before their baby boy arrives, I thought, "Hey, why not share mine? Maybe it'll help me accomplish things faster.". So with that said, here are my current "Before Harper Arrives" to do lists. I say current because let's be honest, I'm sure the more I mark off, the more I'll be adding to take its place!
