Ok so I don't post much cause I'm very new to the scene and don't wanna go saying the wrong thing but this has been on my mind lately.
What are some things everyone should do before getting pregnant? I have already kicked the pill and Doc cleared me to start trying on my next cycle but having this baby will of course make life very different. I want to know what everyone else thinks we should do before we welcome a baby. Excluding the lavish vacations around the world (we don't have a lot of extra money haha)
A little bit about us:
I turn 26 next month, Hubby is 26
We've been together for 7 years, Married for 2 1/2
We have two cats and getting a Bernese mountain dog next week
Just bought our first house in October
After having baby fever for the past year we are finally on the same page and are financially in a good spot. Hubby is so excited to be a dad and I can't wait to be a new mother.

Definitely enjoy travel, dates, eating out, drinking alcohol, read books, watch rated R movies, walking around naked in the house, have sex everywhere in the house. These are things that are harder to do after kids.
Before being pregnant- Enjoy eating and drinking all the things you shouldn't while pregnant. Go hiking, biking, any kind of serious physical activity you usually or always wanted to do. Go to the beach and sit out in the sun for as long as you want (I think it depends how far along you are, but technically your not supposed to sit out in the sun much while pregnant). Enjoy a hot bath or Jacuzzi. Go to the mall- walk around for as long as you want- try on lots of nice skinny cloths and enjoy your pre-pregnancy body because it aint coming back for a while...at least! Go out with friends, see all of them if you can, because you may not see them for a while- you get very tired while pregnant and some women go through other things that makes it difficult to get out much. If your fine then see them more also while pregnant because it will be even more difficult after baby comes.
