Checklist

I needed to make a checklist of everything else that I need to do by the end of my pregnancy, month by month: I'll hopefully update it as i go along

October:
  • work out
  • get maternity photo outfits together (pink, purple, red sundress for beach pics for me, and linen outfit for D, hopefully it won't be too cold, but I really want those nice beach shots. and black pants and a white button up for the pics in the house for me, and same for D). I also need to decide on jewelry, hair, nails, and make-up
  • End of 2nd trimester!

November:
  • Breastfeeding class
  • maternity pictures
  • Tea and Tour (hospital tour)
  • Doctor's appointment
  • Veteran's Day!
  • Childbirth class (2 days)
  • another doctor's appointment
  • Thanksgiving! (which I am hosting this year)
  • Black Friday (I definitely want to shop the sales to see if there are any small items we need for the house, or something I want to get for the baby)

December:
  • Baby Shower!
  • doctor appointment
  • I'm also having another shower, given to me by my church but IDK when that is
  • Some of the guys from my church are thinking about trying to give D a man shower lol. I was told that at a man shower you grill, watch the game, play video games and ping pong, and the guys give diapers, and gift cards to home depot and gift cards for baby furniture and stuff. Man stuff. lol. I think its a really cute idea and hopefully they decide to do it.
  • Sometime after both showers, we will go down our lists and see what else we need and go pick everything up
  • Do thank you notes
  • Get crib put together
  • Complete her room
  • Do a birth plan
  • Pre-register at hospital
  • do any pre-certs required by our insurance
  • get emergency lists and emergency kits together
  • Start touring day cares
  • Decide on a pediatrician and go on tours
  • doctor appointment
  • Christmas!
  • Pack hospital bags and make sure everything is set up
  • New Years Eve!
January:
  • New Years Day!
  • Dr appointment
  • purchase whatever I am going to use for belly binding
  • D's B-day
  • Dr appointment
  • wash newborn clothes
  • Doctor appointment
  • make sure house is totally in order
  • doctor appointment
  • Due Date!

  1. I wish I could actually make a list and stick to it but this pregnancy has been a bit unpredictable so I've been getting things done in no particular order. Good luck with your lists seems like you have a lot but I know you'll get it done.
