Here are some misc. items that I like to complete prior to labor, in addition to the birth plan.
~~~
Homebirth Supplies – Checklist that I use to prep for my homebirths. I like to list everything that I think I will want/need so that I can be certain that it is rounded up prior to labor.
Baby’s Call List – Template to use for contact info for those who should be notified at onset of labor/delivery. This is a great task to delegate to your children.
Door Sign – I printed several copies of this sign to post in my hospital room when I delivered baby #5, desiring for a home-like birth in the hospital. Mission accomplished!
Birthing Prayer Intentions – I create a list of all the prayer intentions of those who have requested prayers so that I can be certain to take them into labor. I post the list in a prominent location so I (or Dad) can recall the intentions while in labor.
Labor Playlist – The playlist is a culmination of meditations, prayers, and music that I gather to have on hand in the event that I need help relaxing and/or setting my eyes on God. I don’t always use this resource but I feel comfort in knowing it’s an option.

I love how prepared you are! We’re very similar in that I like to have everything Just So before the birth. Do you have your hose and adaptors all set to fill the pool? Thank you for sharing!
I am so AMAZED at your strength and desire and selflessness to be able to have the prayer intentions of others posted in your view. You are such a strong woman. I was just thinking of you last night, wondering if things have started up yet. You are in my prayers. God bless you!
I love your charts! I keep checking here to see if you’ve had your baby…I’ll be praying for you!
I recently linked up at “My Pregnancy Journal” – href=”http://myjoy-filledlife.blogspot.com/search/label/My%20Pregnancy%20Journal%20Link-Up”
These are really neat! It’s wonderful to be so prepared!
