About this episode

It's week 2 of The 12 Weeks of Birth! Are you wondering what to do while waiting for baby to arrive? I get it, when your due date countdown goes from weeks to days, time can start to feel extra slow. We've all heard the joke about the last month of pregnancy lasting 5,654,213 days, right??

Well, this week I'm re-airing an episode to share with you some ways to help  pass that time and get you a little more prepared mentally, physically, and sentimentally (is that a thing?) for your baby to arrive.

Keep in mind that these are the things that aren't absolutely essential, but are a great way to fill those waiting days!

Anxious about packing for the hospital?
