Right after birth! What you have to accept!


SiriIf You Just Can’t Sit Still…

Stock up on bananas, drinks and Netflix box sets for when junior has a growth spurt and you are on the sofa for a week feeling around the clock. Happens around 6 weeks.
Borrow someone else’s child and learn how to burp them now. It’s a fine art.
Batch cook so there are lots of easy meals available in the freezer.

Do a mini photoshoot at home. Get plenty of those pregnancy pics in to remember this special time.
Waiting for baby to arrive
Nesting is real! Have a deep clean of the house and prepare for baby’s arrival.
Make a huge batch of chocolate cookies and freeze them. Don’t tell anyone they’re there – they’re all for you.
Make sure everyone fully understands your expectations about visitors. If you don’t want them at first, explain this to them.
Get loads of the fancy ready meals from M&S and pop them in the freezer. You will grow tired of pizza very quickly!

Practice saying, “the kitchen’s through there, mine’s milk, 2 sugars” for when guest come over.
Take unwanted clothes/items to a charity shop; it’s amazing how cluttered the house gets once your baby arrives.
