Pre-Birth To Do List

So I have three girlfriends due in a span of three weeks this summer...I can't believe it!  They've all gone through their preparation routines and then asked me if they were missing anything. I found this list in the format of an email to my husband J about a month before my baby was born. My girlfirends thought it was super helpful....

J: email the HR person who works with the medical insurance about our hospital/OB/medication costs
