The (PreBaby) Bucket List

Good morning ladies.
So AF came to visit this morning.... BOOOO! In an effort to stay positive and focused on the end result I wanted to start a bit of a trend.
First a little history (insert Wayne and Garth flash back dance).
My DD is the lovely age of 5. She was a HUGE surprise and oops for me. I didn't find out I was pregnant until week 12, but that is another story or an episode of "I did know I was Pregnant". Anyway, needless to say, I was single, shocked, and very scared. I spent my second trimester deciding if I was going to give her away for adoption or keep her. Once I decided to keep her (best decision by the way:)), I spent my last trimester in fear of what was going to happen to my life and all the changes, etc. (very selfish now that I look back). I didn't enjoy my pregnancy journey at all.
Back to the present day. My DH and I are TTC and for the first time, I am really excited about all of this. The ups and the downs. So when AF came this morning, I had a pity party for one in the bathroom and then put my big girl pants on and decided I was going to enjoy this stage of pregnancy as well. So I am listing all the things you can't/shouldn't do while pregnant and I'm going to check a couple off my list during my Follicular phase. I realize this was touched on in a previous post, but I think this could be a fun way to move past the ending of one cycle and enjoy the beginning of a new. So here is my "Before PreBaby Bucket List" (please feel free to add on - the more the merrier).
- Buy some Brie, Feta, and Blue cheese and have an unpasteurized cheese party.
- Try the new Crown Royal Apple whiskey (here is a site with recipes - https://www.indeeph2o.com/crown-royal-regal-apple-cocktail-recipes-crownapple/
) - Try a Hot Yoga class to get rid of the above calories and feel good about checking in on @27Alex's Monday check in.
- Eat some sushi (I know this can be okay while pregnant if from a reputable and sanitary source).
- Snuggle extra with my cat "Kitty".
- Snuggle with our two ferrets, Bugsy and Capone.
- Enjoy my afternoon coffee.
- Paint my DD bathroom.
- Ride the New York, New York roller coaster (think my DD is finally tall enough).
- Go to a wine tasting event with my BFF.
- Find new and exciting positions for the BD (yeah that Cosmo one in a previous thread might make the list ).
- Wear an outfit that has been hiding in my closet that I know I won't fit into once I get my BFP and a few weeks along.
I hope you ladies enjoy and I can't wait to hear your ideas.

Enjoying my boobs (they are fabulous) before a little monster destroys them. DH agrees with that one.
@heawilliams - Great post!
#9 is so much fun and scary. I'm not going to lie...I peed a little! Lol.
Spend more one-on-one time with DH - Take a couples only vacation - Get organized - Eat healthier

I'm trying to make myself focus on losing a few more pounds and continuing to workout hardcore until I get a BFP. I'm trying to tell myself that the longer it takes the healthier I'll be while pregnant. It distracts me and gives me another project to work on when it comes time for the 2ww and I can't actively work on the baby making goal. But I'm going to try some of these because they sound way more fun!

Another vote for sleeping on my stomach.
We took him last month, and boy did I ride those rides!!!! The last time I was in Disneyworld I was pregnant with DS, and I was on the sidelines while my family rode rides.
I was so excited to finally ride the Harry Potter ride, and the Simpsons Springfield was open this time so I had a blast!

1. I second @mrs3615 , I love my eggs over easy!
2. I'm also running more to de stress, something I know you can still do while pregnant, but I know the first trimester is a sensitive time and I will probably have to switch to something more low impact.
3. Chocolate. Lots of it! Again I know you can have this during pregnancy but having to not worry about counting the milligrams of caffeine is great!
4. Feta cheese
5. Sleeping flat on my back
6. Licorice
7. Herbal teas that have not been tested "safe" during pregnancy
8. Sushi
9. Sleeping in and having uninterrupted sleep
2. Loving on my dog even more...if possible. Prob not. Can't imagine another creature taking up as much of my heart as he does, but I've heard that's what happens...
3. Long weekend with DH and dog at a lake. We still haven't taken our honeymoon!
