24 Weeks

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:

• Get Arielle’s Big Girl Bed set up in her room
• Plan a Gender Reveal Get Together
• Let our Pediatrician know we’re having a baby so we can get on her schedule
• Find out if we’re having a Girl or a Boy – This weekend is when we’ll find out!
• Come up with Name Options
• Pick up a new Dresser at IKEA and get it installed in the Nursery
• Take the Bassinet down from the Attic and set it up in Our Room
• Clean up the Nursery Closet to make room for Baby Clothes
• Make room in the Dresser for Baby Onesies and Socks
• Get Baby Clothes down from the attic, washed and put away
• Make sure the Nursery is Sparkling
• Book a Maternity Session, Fresh 48, and Newborn Session
• Shop for Outfits for Photos and for Arielle’s “Big Sister” Wardrobe
• Buy a Baby Car Seat & Get it Installed
• Prep my Hospital Bag

I am sure I am forgetting something so if you have any advice, please DM me!
