On Wednesday I had my 24-week appointment (if you’ve ever been pregnant, you’ll remember the disgusting too-sweet drink they make you ingest to check your blood-sugar levels at this particular appointment). I am so thrilled that we have just 16 weeks to go until my June due date. However, there is still so much to do – it’s a bit overwhelming! At 20 weeks I started sharing everything we need to take care of before June. Here’s what I’ve crossed off (or added in italics) to our list to prepare for our newest addition:
