7 Ways You Can Get Ready For Your New Baby

Decorating the nursery was a big deal for me. I didn’t want to decorate until we were matched, but I had fun picking out what design/colors we’d use for a girl, and what we’d use for a boy. Some people like preparing the nursery ahead of time so if that’s you, then go for it!

New baby products are coming out all the time! I’m of the mind that babies actually need very few things, but if you can afford some fun splurges, then why not?

You don’t have to buy everything ahead of time. Make a registry, regardless of whether you are planning to have a baby shower. Most registry hosts will give you some kind of discount when you actually do buy from your registry.

Twitter is a good place to find giveaways, and you can also Google for blog hops to find lists of giveaways. Nothing beats free!

Maybe this is just me, but I’d make lists of baby names and routinely make my husband discuss them with me. He was a good sport about it, but it helped me pass the time!

There’s not much you HAVE to have on hand, but if you got The Call tomorrow, you might at least want a car seat, stroller, and a bassinet. Research what brands you might want, test them out, and buy them so you’re ready to go!

What else are you doing/did you do to pass the time?
