About this template
The list nobody hands you. Before the birth: the room, the car seat, the hospital bag, the paperwork, the help you will need. After: the registrations, the insurance, the appointments, and someone to bring dinner.
Tips from the template
- Set the due date on the "Due date" task and the rest are dated around it.
- Share it with your partner and assign tasks.
- Do the paperwork section early; it takes longer than it looks.
