Looks like you're all organised. :)
Your list looks great! :-)
I'm very curious how your go with the gflappers is as I really want to cloth diaper and not sure where to start! :-)
Cannot wait to hear that everything is checked off and Finn is on her way!!! :-)
so how are you going with the pumping?
Was the birthmum facinated that you wanted to breastfeed Finn? I know I am =)
Personally? I would de-prioritise washing those cloth nappies. With a newborn, absorbency isn't your big issue, and they'll get their three washes soon enough. From experience.

wow, I needed you two years ago..in fact I still need you!!! LOL
good job sweetie, don't worry you'll get it all done.
You forgot one really important thing.....sit back, and take in this wonderful moment...you are a mama!
Yes, you need to relax. This may be one of the few weeks left that you get to have some "you" time. Take advantage of it!! Get your nails done, etc. Enjoy this time little momma!
Oh and what is the baby website? Have I missed that on here?
baby website????
Are we missing that?
You are doing great! Keep up the organization :)
