Today is November 26. My due date is December 26. Whoa. One month left. I can’t believe we’re here. Two fellow December mommies-to-be that I know had their babies last week. If that doesn’t make it hit home that we are close to your due date, I don’t know what will!
Since I began contributing to AMB, you have helped me predict whether this baby would be a boy or girl. {We’re having a girl…or ‘gurl’ as we call her.} I also ranted about pregnancy pet peeves. But this baby still seemed so far away!
With 1 month to go, I’m thinking about everything we’ve done and everything we still have to do. I think my ‘to do’ list grows every day though!
We {or really I if we’re being honest, haha} have:
- A birth plan
- A doula {because we are doing this natural, yo!}
- Read several natural birth books
- A nursery semi ready to go
- Childcare covered for Trent
- The breast pump back out
We still need to:
- Get our infant carrier down from the attic and install
- Decorate the nursery {not a top priority}
- Go to court for my placenta {there’s a good story for this one…coming soon…}
- Tour the hospital {we switched since we had Trent}
- Take a pain management class
- Get all the baby clothes washed and hand-me-downs from my sister and organize her closet
- Take an infant CPR class
- Have one last date night {for awhile}
- Pack our hospital bags
- Pick a name!!!
What else should I be doing with 1 month to go?!?!
