Things to do before baby...

This may not be your average "what to do before baby is born" post. Of course we all know to make sure and get the "have-to's" done before baby comes, but I wanted to take a slightly different approach to this check-list.

This is a "self" check-list. Things that I want to do for myself before I give birth. Since this is my second rodeo I know that sometimes we as mothers neglect ourselves for various reasons. Whether it's time, money, or other obligations sometimes we get put on the back burner. So a couple months ago I made a list of all the things that I would like to do before I give birth. Some may think this is very self absorbed but after growing a human for 9 months I don't think there's anything wrong with having a little R&R.

Without further adieu, here is my self absorbed check list...


  • Get a pedicure
  • Get a prenatal massage
  • Get a spray tan (it's winter time and I'm transparent)
  • Buy new PJ's or gown for hospital
  • Buy new house slippers (since a dog demolished mine)
  • Shave my legs (your question, "why do you need this on a check-list?" My answer, "you've obviously never been pregnant") 
  • Take a nap...during the day (game changer)
  • Get someone to rub my feet (Does Emery count?)
  • Have someone clean my house (any takers?)

So there you have it, my short list of to-do's before baby, mommy edition! Will I accomplish all of these, probably not. Am I going to try my hardest to live up these last few weeks of being a beached whale? ABSOLUTELY!!!
