This week we are talking pregnancy. I have been pregnant twice and have 2 beautiful boys ages 4 and 2. My pregnancies were pretty uneventful with the exception of having to be on a blood thinner because of clotting issues I have while pregnant. If any of my readers has to do that too, please contact me for tips on making the shots more bearable. :) But in the end, my husband and I were blessed with 2 wonderful children so it is all worth what we go through while pregnant.
This Week's Goals:
1. Register! Especially for your first child. I had a few baby showers for my first son and none for my second. This was ok with me because we had SO much given to us from the first. So it's important to register for things you will need that will last through 2 children. I got a lot of great tips from the Consumer Reports book and other parent-to-be type books. Your friends with new babies are also a great resource.
2. Stay on top of things. When a gift comes in, write the thank you note right away so it is not hanging over your head.
3. Be sure your health insurance is in place and ready to cover little junior when he or she arrives.
4. If you are going back to work after baby arrives, start interviewing child care people and facilities now. Sometimes there are long lists to get in.
5. Get your diapers ready! you will need lots! We used disposables with our first son and changed to cloth with our second. We truly love using cloth diapers and they are no problem to clean using this detergent. I would be happy to talk to moms about the pros and cons of cloth but the main pro for us was cloth saves us a ton of money. It's a big investment initially. In the end you need to decide which works better for you and your child.
6. Look into a birthing class for your first child. This helped us a lot!
7. Cook and freeze meals before baby arrives. You will be thankful for the home cooked options in your freezer when you are exhausted and all of your family and friends have gone home.
Tips:
Be sure to take a ton of pictures! They really do grow so fast and you want to capture all of the memories.
Thanks for reading! What are some tips you have for organizing your pregnancy?
