September makes me happy because it brings the anticipation of fall, cooler temps, pumpkin everything and leggings and tunic weather! I was super productive in August with my nesting kicking in 100%. I'm hoping my energy levels will stick with me through this month so I can get everything done.
Although I have two more months left until my due date, I'm preparing for a shorter amount of time since last time I was put on bed rest a few weeks before Jack was born. Not hoping that will happen again, but trying to prepare for every scenario!
My September Goals/To-Do List:
- Pack hospital bag for me
- Pack hospital bag for Baby Colin
- Order "Big Brother" gifts for Jack...let me know if you have any ideas!
- Read at least one book for pleasure
- Finish my Colorado trip recap post
- Decorate the house for fall!
- Take maternity/family pictures
- Do a 3D Ultrasound just for fun
- Start prepping at work for maternity leave
- Find a nightstand and lamp for nursery - last of nursery prep!
- Order some new nursing nightgowns/robe for hospital and after
- Soak in lots of time as a family of three
- Rest more!
- Try to do small, thoughtful things for my husband and friends to know how much I appreciate them
