What's been making life more beautiful is this little babe inside of me. He is moving a little bit different now since he's getting bigger and stronger! He's a whole 'nother person in our home and it's so crazy that we haven't seen him yet... only 2 more months. Or 10 more weeks to be exact :)
For future reference, these are good things to have done by now:
- Baby carseat purchased
- Baby shower in the works + completed registries
- Picking a doctor for baby
- Scheduling a hospital tour
- Taking a birthing class (there's some free ones online)
- Having a name picked out - or several :)
- Getting a crib or what baby will sleep on
- Body pillows for sleeping are best to start using earlier on in pregnancy!
These last few months I feel like I've majored in "How to be a mom: during and after pregnancy". There are so many things to learn about the body, your baby's body and development, figuring out and preparing for what changes will happen in life, finances, family, etc., after baby comes and daydreaming about snuggling for hours.
We feel like we have mostly everything down because we've talked about our expectations with each other or asked how we would react if baby didn't sleep all night or misbehaved... haha but sometimes it feels like seasoned parents are trying to scare us with things like, "Sleep now since you won't sleep later" or "Travel the world before you have kids", etc. But the thing is that there's two of us. We can take turns and work like a team. And the travel thing - we are sure there's more things to do when you have kids and more memories instead of just selfies of us now. We know the world is not going to end when our kiddies are here!
Anyways - enough of a rant. Hopefully you are all enjoying the beauty that is spring!
