[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry you aren't feeling too well. There have been a lot of good ideas so far.

From the couch you can compile a list of your favorite take-out places and your favorite order. Then, when baby comes and you are planning dinners you can just give people the list and ask them to order something for you, without having to pull up the menu and decide in that moment. I know it sounds like a tiny thing but I was so glad to have people stop asking me questions and just doing them. If feeling particularly energetic you could write a short grocery list with your favorite snacks to hand people. I made an index card for the fridge and when friends called to say they were coming by and asked what I wanted I just read a few things from the list!

Also, as soon as I went into labor we called a housekeeper to schedule her to come the following day while I was still at the hospital. It was great to come home to a clean apt. So, another to-do would be picking a cleaning service if you don't have one already?

This is brilliant! I'm expecting #3 and never thought of keeping my favorite take out orders. It seems like a chore on a regular day to figure out what to order, it would be so nice to just tell DH to place the order without our usual waffling.[/quote]
