Things To Do When You Are…

…waiting for a baby!

Yes…we here at Motherhood Moments are a little baby preoccupied lately!  Can you blame us?  Lora’s been dilated to at least 4 cm for over a month!  We’ve been thinking “any day now” for days and days and days and days and days…

How well I remember actually being the ONE who is waiting the most!  It hasn’t been that long since my littlest guy is only two…but then again he didn’t make me wait as he was 5 weeks early!  Anyway…I digress.  I thought I would jot down a few things that are great to do while you are waiting for an impending arrival!

Here they are in no particular order:

  1. Have one last date night
  2. Get a manicure/pedicure
  3. Have a pregnancy massage
  4. Buy yourself some flowers
  5. Go to the zoo
  6. Wash all your bedding (sheets, quilts, etc)
  7. Do some nitty gritty cleaning that you won’t have time to do later (labor inducing???)
  8. Find a good book to take to the hospital
  9. Take a bunch of pictures of older child(ren)
  10. Bake a birthday cake (hint, hint)
  11. Write a “waiting for you” letter to the baby
  12. Take a long walk
  13. Make eggplant parmigiana
  14. Start a big puzzle
  15. Sleep!

Got any more?  I’m sure Lora would appreciate hearing them!
