Things to do as a couple before baby arrives

{this picture was taken in October 2008, we had been together for just over a year}

It's November, which means we have anything from 9 - 13 weeks before baby arrives.  I wanted to write a list of the things that both me and Mani want to do together before we leap into parenthood.

We were talking the other night about things we want to do that won't really be possible once baby is here.  This is what we came up with.

♥ Go see a movie

♥ Go out for a quiet dinner in a quaint pub in the countryside

♥ Go away for a weekend

♥ Go out for tea and cake over Christmas and buy baby a christmas tree decoration for next year

♥ Have a day of just eating nibbles, drinking tea and watching movies

♥ Enjoy what Sundays we have left with specially made breakfasts like pancakes and cinnamon bread

♥ Appreciate being able to lie in on the weekends

♥ Do something spontaneous one day, be it go for a walk, go out for lunch or a drink or shopping

Did you do anything in particular for baby arrived? Or wish you had?  While I am so very excited for the arrival of baby choudhry, it also marks the end of an era in a way.  Our lives as a couple are going to change and we want to enjoy and appreciate this time as much as we can.

They say when baby arrives, you tend to forget what life was like before baby,  so here's to enjoying and remembering and making memories.
