👶 Baby Update
Size: A toolbox
Baby is running out of room and movements feel different — more rolling and stretching, less kicking. Kidneys are fully developed. Brain weight increases by a third in the last few weeks.
💕 What She's Going Through
Frequent Braxton Hicks. Pelvic pressure and hip pain. She may be waddling significantly. Nesting is intense — let her organize. Emotional — excited, scared, ready.
💪 What You Should Do This Week
- ✓Wash all baby clothes, swaddles, sheets in gentle detergent
- ✓Make sure the house is reasonably clean — you won't have time postpartum
- ✓Charge all cameras, clear phone storage for photos and videos
🚫 Don't Say This
“The house doesn't need to be that clean.”
Nesting. Is. Real. The urge to prepare the environment is biological. Help or get out of the way.
🧠 Dad Hack
Clear at LEAST 20GB on your phone. You will take more photos and videos in the first 48 hours than you have in years.
