Tips for Pregnant Moms
With so much to think about, here are 10 tips for pregnant moms from moms who've been there.
1. Getting the nursery ready - There is more to getting ready for a new baby than picking paint colors and bedding, although that is so much fun! Depending on the space or room, key things to having an organized space are do you have enough room for a crib, changing table, dresser, rocker? If space is limited you need may need to think about double duty furniture. A crib with drawers underneath is wonderful for extra sheets. A dresser that can do double duty as a changing table can grow with the child. A rocker than can easily move into another room and not look like a glider is great for when it is on longer needed in the nursery. Baskets and bins are wonderful for storage, they should be labeled for their contents. Diapers, onesies, etc.
2. Before and after the baby arrives organize all the clothing you receive as gifts. Set up the closet and drawers by age. If you are hanging clothes, use color-coded hangers for the appropriate age., e.g. 0-6 months has white hangers, 6-12 months has pink. If you want to keep the closet uniformed with all the same hangers, use tabs that can attach to the top of the hanger for the ages, which are available at www.containerstore.com. For your drawers spring loaded drawer dividers are a great solution in large drawers. They are available from www.bedbathandbeyond.com and come in white and wood colors. Divide the drawers and label the insides e.g. shirts, dresses, etc. this way opens the drawer will know what is in each section.
