Now that we’ve adjusted to the idea of being parents to two kids, we’re springing into action in the time we’ve got left as a family of three. K is eighteen months, and though she won’t remember her time as an only child, we certainly want to make memories and have a blast before her little world is rocked. We’re also hoping to squeeze in a few last minute day trips and things before we throw a newborn into the mix!
That being said, we’ve come up with a list of things we would love to do before baby comes in September. Here’s what it looks like:
Things to Do Before Baby #2
- spend a weekend away, just J and I
- spend a night in a hotel, alone (just me!) with a stack of books, some junk food, and a huge bathtub
- grow a vegetable garden
- take K to the aquarium
- go to the Toronto Zoo
- sleep in until 10:00 one morning
- go berry picking
- stop watching so much TV (and cancel cable!)
- finish our basement stairs (carpet, trim, etc)
- set up a designated play space for K (not the living room)
- keep a baby journal
- enjoy every moment of a solid night’s sleep
- take some family photos
Did you have a list you wanted to accomplish before baby? Whether it was your first or your fifth, are there things that you wanted to get done? Am I missing anything glaringly obvious on here?
