Safety first!

There is a lot to do when it comes to baby-proofing your home.  However, if you start early and take baby steps to accomplish each task.  You will not feel as much pressure to get it all done before the baby arrives.  

Even though it will take months after the baby is born for them to crawl and get into things.  Once your baby is here you may find that you do not have the time or energy to do all the things on your to-do list.  So again, the sooner the better.
