FINAL TRIMESTER!! Are you ready?

Question

Besides the usual getting nursery ready, cleaning, meal prepping...
I feel like I should be more prepared? I’m a FTM and have not a clue what I’m doing or what to expect and the anxiety is creeping in. Reading Baby 411 is a little overwhelming hahah 
Thoughts? Advice?

Answer

I’m currently living from lists 😂 I’ve made lists for everything so I know exactly what I’m doing and don’t get too overwhelmed by everything. As Christmas is coming up I’m just gonna relax and enjoy this month, January will be spent getting the last of the baby bits (which I’ve wrote in a separate list lol) and my baby shower. Feb will be spent washing baby’s things, getting my hospital bag packed (also have a list for that) setting up everything ready for baby and pre-cooking meals that are suitable for freezing (won’t feel like cooking after the birth so they will just be quick and easy to reheat) I’ve also made a list of meal ideas for that 😂 then just before my due date I will sterilise baby bottles etc ready for the big day. Anything else I’ve forgotten to do can be squeezed in somewhere lol

Answer

This little boy is my 3rd and you are more prepared than i am lol. My main focus here recently has been potty training my daughter. I know i will get his nursery and meal prepping done in January and February. ( i procrastinate like this with every one of my pregnancys) To me it sounds like you are prepared but we as mothers always feel we need to be more prepared.

Answer

Nursery is done, and definitely pretty simple compared to others I see. I will meal prep after the holidays. My husband has already started making a list of requests. This is my second, and it seems like a lot less preparation than my first. I had a ton of lists and spreadsheets with him. 😂

Answer

I agree make some final lists! I’m a FTM too, and I’ve made a list for January and a February what needs to get done (pack hospital bags, wash baby’s clothes, meals and stock up on household supplies, postpartum essentials, install car seat etc...) it’s starting to feel so crazy real. Even though there are still lots of weeks to get this stuff done I definitely am feeling more anxious. I’m going to enjoy the holidays now and then continue to get on my lists and hopefully just relax with the hubby as much as we can. Pinterest has lots of helpful lists in preparing...I also love watching YouTube for “what to pack lists” like hospital bags, postpartum etc. Good luck Mama!
