[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have driving or mass transit directions printed out for out-of-town people (like grandparents) who come to visit and stay and then don't know how to get to the grocery store.

Have someone return all your library books. You won't be able to read a book again for a long time. Have that person pick up magazines. Short articles will become your friend.[/quote]

I actually read a lot of books while on maternity leave. Light stuff you can read only a few pages at a time worked best for me. I prefered reading on my Nook b/c one handed reading was much easier - esp since DS like to be held for naps in the first few weeks. So we spent a good amount of time camped out on the couch. For this next baby - I plan to load a bunch of books to my Nook so I always have one on the ready.

Get some kind of sippy cup for water - you'll be thirsty and need to drink a lot, so it was nice to have something big and spill proof. Get some one handed foods. I kept a box of granola bars next to the rocking chair in the nursery b/c I was often hungry and it was sometimes hard to eat just when I wanted to. The bars would hold me over until I could fix myself something. Oatmeal helps with supply - so I had a bowl of that every morning.[/quote]
