This is just a list I made for myself essentially (so it's not that good) but if it helps someone out... 😁

Reasons To Make Last Month Wait Easier:

1. Some of babies major organs still have finishing touches to be done. The longer in the womb the more baby will be set for the world.

2. Baby is working on storing up fat/weight in the last month to make temperature regulation easier and also who doesn't love a chubby baby

3. Baby's sucking reflex is still being worked on - longer in womb, easier breastfeeding/eating will be established.

4. Last month of pregnancy just fricken indulge on all the best cravings and foods. No one can even blame you. You deserve to eat that chocolate cake in bed

5. Take advantage of rest. It's totally excusable to become a little lazy this last month. Ask your husband to get you things cause you don't want to get up ( and shouldn't have to) . Buy plastic plates because screw doing dishes - you don't need that negativity in your life haha

6. Park in the " expecting mothers parking " for the last time.

7. Have husband paint your toes or shave your legs haha it's couple bonding time 🤷🏽‍♀️

8. Take pics of your bump before it turns into sag 😂.... 😭

9. Get all stuff ready for baby's arrival . Hospital Bag , nursery, post partum care, etc.

10. Do something you enjoy that you can't do when baby arrives. Eat at your fav restaurant for the last time in awhile. Go paint or knit , whatever your hobby is. Enjoy a sweet coffee date with a good friend or significant other

11. Yes u will miss baby's kicks and wiggles . You will miss being their safe space . Being able to carry them and protect them constantly.

12. Start a project that takes up some time so that your brain isn't constantly focused on baby baby baby. Read a book, organize kitchen, to thrift shopping and find fixer upper project.

13. Enjoy people marveling your bump. Helping you out. Asking how you are. Pregnancy is a beautiful sweet time for a woman despite the physical ailments haha. Many women Long to get that bump - to feel those kicks. You are blessed to have this.
