Congratulations! You’ve made it to the third trimester. Such an exciting milestone that at times may have felt like it would never arrive!
As exciting as the third trimester is, it can also be nerve racking and even overwhelming. But, don’t worry. In this post, we’ll go over some quick and easy tips to help you prepare to welcome your sweet child into the world.
As you’ve likely learned by now, ‘preparation’ changes entirely when we enter motherhood. Gone are the days of throwing some clothes in a bag last minute for a weekend getaway. Instead, all details need to be planned to a T.
