The first thing I did was to remove everything that is not needed anymore, in my case, my medical books. Yes, I graduated from Med school some 8 years ago, and still haven't cleared my room of my medical books, well, simply because I'm a pack rat, plus...the sentimental value! But  since after finding out I'm going to be a mommy, I've been obsessing about getting rid of all the "trash" in my room...so, finally I did (except for the surgical books of course). I also threw out my notes from residency and my specialty board review (I make mean notes you know hehe), and managed to cramp all my CDs and cassettes in a small space. My closet was also cleaned out and I removed old clothes and clothes that I think I'll never wear again. Oh, and my shoes, yes, I got rid of about half of them...If I can throw out almost everything just so I can have more that enough space for the little bunny's baby gear I would. I now have an "ukay-ukay" sac. 

      I managed to empty shelves for some of the baby things, but my closets aren't big enough to fit his baby things (yes, I have two closets full of clothes), so I just made space for when I get him his own cabinet/drawers (which I have to do this week). I already have a place where to set-up the crib (I have a bassinet/playard/changing table in one). Oh, and my office/study table? Is now free of clutter and only holds a laptop and my current journal, otherwise, it's ready for his books and other things. 

       My room is a giant dust trap. Well ,anyway, that being said, I dusted all the windows and screens and every corner of the room. I know dust will build up again before the baby gets here, so aside from me cleaning every other day, I plan on having someone clean the room and change the curtains while I'm at the hospital so it'll be clean when the baby and I gets home.

        Some studies say that to lessen the risk of SIDS, the room where the baby will be staying should be well-ventilated. Whether you have air conditioning or fans in your room, make sure they're clean and properly functioning. 

       A newborn will not be moving around the room that you have to cover the electric sockets already, but it's better that you are prepared. Have the electric sockets fixed if they need fixing, then go get some electric socket covers. 

Well, I guess that's just it for now, after doing all those things, you can now repaint your room or place wallpaper or decals to make it more baby friendly. A corner in your room dedicated to the baby would be nice, but don't forget that you will be living in that room too so don't forget to leave some space for yourself.
