Quick! 10 small (but essential) things to do now before baby arrives
Motherhood is hands down the best thing to ever happen to me. I love it. I feel it’s what I was born to do, but sometimes, I also miss my pre-baby life. That carefree time before my day was structured around sleep schedules was actually pretty blissful.
Here are 10 little things I think every mum-to-be should do before her life changes – in the best possible way, of course!
3. Paint that door, fix that dripping tap
If you have any home renos you’d like done, I advise you do them before your bundle of love arrives. Before taking maternity leave I wanted to paint our bathroom. Great! I thought. This can be a job I’ll do when I have all that time off from work. Er, it’s called ‘maternity leave’ for a reason, sweetie! The bathroom still hasn’t been painted four years on. The takeaway here is that babies are adorable time sappers.
BUT as much as I miss all of the above, and I probably miss sleep the most, I can tell you that this bub is going to be the best thing to ever happen to you. And you’ll be back wearing earrings again someday!
