June is forever my favorite month of the year and is about to get even sweeter with our baby’s soon-to-be arrival. It is such a surreal feeling to be in this position and mindset before everything changes. Since baby could arrive any day, Jody and I are trying to be intentional about how we spend our time, while simultaneously checking off some of the last minutes “before baby” to-dos. The goals I have listed below are just a glimpse into our month, among squeezing in pool time, dining out, and lazy Saturday mornings; all simple luxuries to enjoy, before everything changes in the best way possible.

1. Attend breastfeeding class.
2. Mail baby shower thank you’s.
3. Get maternity pictures taken.

5. Install car seat and pack hospital bag.
