If the nesting instinct is hitting you hard, here are a few household projects to consider adding to your to-do list to help ease the transition.👶🏽
🛏️Create Your Sanctuary
While decking out the baby’s room might be more exciting, remember that in those initial weeks, you’ll likely be spending a lot more time in your bedroom. With all the well-deserved resting, your bed will become a haven. Transform your bedroom into a serene and soothing space where you can unwind and catch some much needed sleep.
🧷Strategic Diaper Stations
Newborns are quite productive when it comes to diaper changes😉. Around 12 times a day usually. To make life easier for your future self, set up multiple diaper-changing stations across your home. Consider having one in your bedroom, living room, and the baby’s nursery. Fill these stations with essentials like diapers, wipes, extra onesies, receiving blankets, and a laundry and garbage bag. Having these necessities within easy reach can be a lifesaver, especially if you’ve had a c-section and moving around is a bit challenging.
🧺Appliance Prep
Get ready to put your major appliances to the test because your washer, dryer, dishwasher, and hot water heater are in for some serious action. It’s a good idea to give them a little check up before the baby arrives. Clean out your dryer ducts, change filters, & ensure everything is in good working order. Trust us, you won’t want to find yourself without a functional washer or dryer with a newborn in the mix. It’s all about being prepared!
