Now is the time to start clearing out if you haven’t done so already.

If you wait till later, you might not have the energy. So move now, while your energy levels are high and your brain can still process multiple things at once. When the baby is born, your focus narrows, as it should.

Babies come with a lot of stuff, so much so it can be overwhelming.

Family and friends bring you SO many things. Every mom has recommendations on what helped her…so learn to pick and choose. Some babies like swings, perhaps borrow one before buying one? My son liked the vibrating papisan chair more than the swing. We had both. It took me a while to realize some things would work for us, some things wouldn’t.

Make sure you have things arranged in your own room so you don’t have to stress about clothes. Get the kitchen cleaned out of old boxed goods and make sure you’re up to date on the bills. It will overwhelm you quickly if you ignore it now.

Call a charity to come pick up the stuff you don’t need or want.

You’ll fill that space up again.
