Okay, darling, you've made it to the 3rd trimester! đ„ł Queue the applause! Your back is sore, your feet are MIA, and bending over feels like an Olympic sport. You're basically Wonder Woman on a mission to not lose her sanity while maintaining the delicate balance of Cheerio crumbs underfoot and a Pinterest-worthy living room.
So, let's dive into how we can make your abode a cozy, functional, and slightly less chaotic haven for when your tiny roomie arrives!
1. Declutter Like a Pro - But Keep Your Quirks
You're about to welcome a little bundle of joy into your homeâand they come with more paraphernalia than you could ever imagine. Start decluttering now! Sell, donate, or store items you haven't used since Y2K. But keep some quirky bits like that disco ball you swear you'll find a reason to use someday.
Your home might look like a scene from Boho Chic magazine, but not if it's filled with tripping hazards!
2. Set Up the Nursery, or as I Call it: Baby Versailles

Bonus: An adorable nursery makes for excellent Instagram backdrops!
3. Create a Relaxation Retreat
Speaking of cozy chairs, don't stop at the nursery. Designate a space for yourselfâa tranquil corner in your home away from the baby madness to practice breathing exercises (or binge-watch your fave guilty-pleasure series). Remember, happy mom, happy baby! đ

Your command center is the heartbeat of your pre-baby kingdom.
10. Pre-Pack That Hospital Bag
Finally, prep the go-bagâfilled with essentials for both hospital necessities and cheeky indulgences (chocolate, anyone?).
