What do you have left to do: for you edition

ssstephanie214

We had a thread about all the things you still need to do to prepare for baby, but none yet (I believe?) about things you'd like to do for You before baby comes.

I've been thinking about this a lot since I'm a first time mom. I hope this isn't a point of contention, but I have no idea how much my life is going to change and how many activities I will have to put off for a while. I also want to feel like I got as much bonding time with my fiancé as possible, I got pregnant kind of by surprise.

My list includes
-see a movie in theaters
-get a haircut
-go on a fancy ass date with FI.

What good things do you want to do for yourself?

missnacholover

-Get a massage
-Get a good night's sleep (seems impossible)
-dinner/movie date

AnnieRoo13

Good idea for a thread!

- have the house deep cleaned (I'm saying it's for LO but I'm pretty sure he won't notice if it's done or not!)

- go on a date with DH

- continue pre-natal massages (amazing)

- have my nails done

Oh true, did you figure that out yet? I hope you'll be able to get that soon.

YES!  We finally got in touch today and scheduled it for next friday!  I cannot wait!!!

I guess this means i have to shave.

- get a massage

- get a pedicure

- clear photos off cellphone so I will have room for new ones when baby arrives

- clean/declutter house so I don't lose the baby in all the mess!

KMW08

-I'm going to have my car detailed. It's really dusty (live on gravel) and needs a good cleaning.

-I want to get my hair cut.

-Hoping nesting kicks in because my house needs a good cleaning too.

-Date night (probably this wknd in celebration of our bdays).

jibell

@KMW08 that reminds me I need to get my minivan cleaned inside and out

missnacholover

Car detailing and clearing phone pics are good ones!!

Date night with DH

Pedicure and maybe a manicure as well

Dimples0101

* Pedicure

* Hair cut

* Date night

* Brazilian

* Clean pictures off phone  **stealing idea from @jibell**

missnacholover

Oh yeah, deep clean.  But that's DH's department - whether he wants to do it or hire someone is up to him.  But this momma maaaaay clean a mirror and that's about it.

jibell

@Dimples0101 I admire your bravery to be going for a Brazilian

ETA: words

ccam

Massage

Hair done one last time (week before my sister's wedding probably)

Deep clean the house preferably someone else will do this but most likely not.

Pedicure a few days before my RCS

Hopefully get myself a new job, which I have an interview for tomorrow

manders9479

Oh, I forgot one!

Sex. We haven't done it since week 5 and I figure after the 6 week wait post delivery he will be dangerously close to claiming he hasn't had any for almost a year and I'm not about to let him win that argumenty. 

I put out earlier this week.  Hoping that holds him over until postpartum.  I'm kind of done with that.

wildflower75

I'm thinking of treating myself to a Dita Von Teese nursing bra!
I also need to purchase the C-panty and my special UGG flip flops for the hospital stay (although I think DH is getting those for me)

Deep clean the house (have to find a good service)

Hair layered

Mani / pedi once I confirm that nail polish is ok during my RCS

3 fancy dinners (one with my mom and grandma as a thank you for helping out, the other two with DH)

I would say a massage and facial but I've spent so much money on DD's winter wardrobe that I think I'll skip the spa.

Ladies that are FTM... I HIGHLY recommend you go to the movies while you still can! That and getting as much sleep as possible were two of the best words of advice I got before DD was born last year!!

runningmama14

- I'll probably need a pedicure one last time

- prenatal massage (scheduled for Thursday!)

- thanks to @missnacholover, I now am adding shaving before the massage to my list...

- I want to go see Gone Girl!

ssstephanie214

@wildflower75‌ I seriously love how it's THREE fancy dinners for you. I might have to go back and up mine.

mander82

We already detailed my car,  but either get new tires on it,  or get myself some new wheels.

Go to a hockey game....or several. 

I want to go see a movie too!

The one with mom and GM is going be a steak dinner and then one with DH will probably be French cuisine and I am undecided on my third but it will be AMAZEBALLS!

moroccojade

2 more hair cuts and colours....

A half dozen acupuncture appointments to make the last two months be lovely, and to put me into labour

4 or 5 chiro appointments to get my hips in line for birth

I would love a manicure and pedicure but I doubt they will happen.  (Although I wish someone would tell my husband they would be a great gift for my birthday.)  

Then a whole whack load of cleaning and getting rid of stuff.

Tell you what: you and i swap hubby's email addys. I'll talk up your mani/pedi to yours, if you'll talk up a date night to mine!

rox825

Mani/pedi, hair cut, and early anniversary date with H (our 5-year anniversary is 2 days after my due date!).  I'd also ideally like to have all baby stuff done prior to the weekend before the due date so that I can spend that weekend resting, watching TV, and generally being lazy.

PennyLane26

1. Go on a fancy date night for our 30th birthdays

2. Get an eye exam (fun!)

3. have a mommy/daughter date with DD

wallygirl

Deep clean house
Wash and clean out car

Pedicure

soulcupcake

We're going out for my birthday next weekend, so we're doing date night soon. But I still have plans for:

Seeing The Maze Runner, Dracula Untold, Mockingjay Part I, Interstellar, and a handful of others. (we go to the movie theater pretty often)

Getting a prenatal massage

Mani/pedi (haven't been going as often)

Acupuncture session

Order my birth and postpartum kit

Brazilian wax -- probably next month some time

Buy some essential oils and birthing ball in preparation for the big day

lizgrace03

-two more eyebrow/lip threadings
-oil change
-massage Friday!!
-see Gone Girl and maybe a few other movies
-haircut
-more nursing tanks
-get two articles submitted
-apply for three grants

The last two make me nervous...

ETA I forgot we are also getting new windows, blinds and ceiling fans!!

Now that I look at this, it seems like a lot. @-)

mrsodonnell12

-pedicure
-hair highlight and trim
-spend tons of time with my 2 kids

MuchlyGen

- Go on date with my fella 

- Go on separate, mommy & son dates with each of my boys, since they won't have me solo again for awhile 

- Pedicure (I would /like/ to, not necessary, I actually can still reach but it sounds super fun) 

- Clean bathrooms thoroughly thoroughly thoroughly because otherwise I'll be self conscious while my midwives are here 

- Have lots. of. sex. since it may not be easy to manage for awhile. *sigh*

carafern

Great ideas ladies! Thanks for making me put this in list form. Maybe I'll actually get these things done.

Haircut -- I've been meaning to schedule this for months…now I think I may just wait a few weeks so it doesn't look shaggy when LO arrives

Fancy dinner for DH's birthday in two weeks

House cleaning -- we are definitely hiring someone. I'm wondering if I should wait a few weeks too, so that we haven't messed up the place by my due date.

Movies -- although movies have gotten a bit uncomfortable for me. 

Pedicure -- had one last week and it was so nice.  

Things that I would love to do but probably won't get to:

Massage

Car detailing (what a great suggestion)

erinwithtwins

TAXES crap. Filed an extension but now have two weeks. Again crap
Hair cut & color
Need to most likely get a new phone my iPhone 4 kinda sucks
Built the baby changing table and bookcase
Need to order mobiles and get the babies' room organized
Car needs to be detailed and car seats installed
Bassinet built and put in room.

I'm sure so much more. But crap
