Things to do before baby arrives

[Caip]

My DH asked me last night if there was anything I want to do before baby arrives and our lives change for good
I'm struggling to think of anything, is there anything you did or plan to do?

Have a grown up holiday - even if just a weekend break. They will be hard to come by after the baby.

Thanks, we have a trip to Berlin planned in December which I can't wait for
I also thought I might like a day in a spa together (which is not normally our thing) as I'd quite like to get one of those mum-to-be packages as I've never been a mum-to-be before!

Things you will miss are doing things on a whim, just getting up and walking out the door without completing a military operation first. So id suggest just doing things, anything. But just get up Saturday morning and having a leisurely morning (you will miss those too!) and then deciding to do something and just go!

Eat out at all your favourite restaurants and go and see everything at the cinema that looks any good at all... Oh and spend a long lazy morning/afternoon/day in a coffee shop or cosy pub with you DH and lots of weekend papers - I often dream of being able to do that now!
Also make sure you've recently had a good haircut, it could be a while before you get another one.
Having a baby is the best thing in the world, your life will be so different but in a good way. But for me, the things mentioned above are the ones I miss...

Sleep, read a book, go shopping, get your house nice and clean, have sex, eat in a nice restaurant, have a couple of nights away, go to the theatre, do all the DIY you can think of.

Go to the cinema a lot! It's the kind of outing that doesn't seem worth organising a babysitter for, so you may not go again for years.

Some lovely ideas..I def fancy a lazy sunday pub lunch and might just treat us to that. I should add try and do stuff in second trimester because at 32 weeks just getting through work is a struggle so no energy left at weekend. Anything but short journeys or days out are exhausting. Don't leave it too long!

Thanks all. Am 18 weeks at the mo so will cram as much into the next couple of months as poss!

Yy to cinema and a holiday if you can afford it. I regret not doing the cinema enough( though to be fair it was hard to get comfy in the seats toward the end), but did manage a week in Ibiza at 30 weeks pregnant. Spent the whole week reading by the pool and eating!

My fiancé and I have just taken a short romantic break together. We did very little besides check into a wonderful hotel, take walks on the beach and countryside, eat in great restaurants, order room service and relax at the hotel spa -I think it's really important to enjoy these last few weeks of quality time together

Don't forget lie ins. They will not exist once you have children

Lie ins. My God, lie ins. Sleep deprivation is universally known about but you can't understand it until you have kids - it's not the same as pulling all-nighters at college or work, or going clubbing because you simply can't make it up. It's the week in, month out, years on end of it that is the hard part.

And be lovey dovey. Talk to one another, enjoy one another, snuggle lots, be lovely to one another. Kids can strengthen a relationship after the first year or two - ours definitely is so - but the initial time is tough. Most people's relationship suffers because the kids suck all the energy, patience, attention and love in those first months, and you're so tired and irritable you snit at one another a LOT. Focusing on one another when there is no bigger priority isn't something we did, and as someone pregnant with their 2nd and with a bigger kid now at school - this time, we are!
