Someday I Want to Be a Mom... ♡

As you live your married life with your beloved partner, the feeling of "I want a child" will surely arise. When you see close friends having kids or families happily walking with their children, doesn’t it make you feel that way even more? ♡

Once You Become a Parent, You Can’t Continue Living the Same Way

Once a baby is born, it's quite difficult to continue your current lifestyle the same way. Especially when the baby is little, you won’t be able to take your eyes off them, leading to a lifestyle centered around your child! Each day as a parent, growing together with your child will surely be filled with surprises and emotions you’ve never experienced before, but there will also be a little bit of sadness as you say goodbye to your previous life...＊

This time, I’ve gathered a list of things you want to do before the baby is born. I want to cherish the time spent with my husband alone and also my own personal time! ♡

Things to Do Before the Baby is Born #1 Go on an Overseas Trip

Once you have children, it becomes difficult to travel long distances by plane. Especially with overseas trips, it costs money and time, making it tough with a child in tow! If there’s a country you want to visit, plan a trip abroad with your husband before getting pregnant! ♡

Things to Do Before the Baby is Born #2 Go on a Date at a Fancy Restaurant

There are some upscale places where children are not allowed, such as French restaurants, high-end dining establishments, and hotel dinner dates. Let’s go on a romantic and wonderful dining date with your husband! ♡

Things to Do Before the Baby is Born #3 Attend a Musical or Orchestra

Following upscale restaurants, another place you may not get to go to often is theaters for musicals or orchestras. If there’s a performance you want to see, make sure to go to avoid regret! ♡

Things to Do Before the Baby is Born #4 Get a Qualification

For those planning to return to work after childbirth, I recommend obtaining any qualifications you want before the baby is born. Studying while the baby is sleeping can be fulfilling and wonderful, but if you want to study thoroughly, do it before giving birth! ♡

Things to Do Before the Baby is Born #5 Save Money

Having children inevitably increases expenses. In the beginning, you will need to buy things like a crib, baby clothes, and a stroller! Make sure to save money adequately to handle any unexpected expenses! ♡

Things to Do Before the Baby is Born #6 Address Any Health Issues, Including Dental Work

Once the baby is born, it becomes very difficult to spend money on yourself or find time to go to the doctor. If there are things you want to fix, it would be best to try to finish them beforehand!＊

Things to Do Before the Baby is Born #7 Teach Your Husband Household Chores

When you become a mom, the time spent with the baby will increase significantly. Therefore, the time spent with your husband will diminish. Don’t you think it would be incredibly helpful if your husband could handle chores while you’re busy with the baby? Let’s do chores together with your husband so he can learn a little! ♡

Things to Do Before the Baby is Born #8 Cherish Time with Friends

Once you have children, it’s hard to go out at first, which means you’ll have less time to meet up with friends. Let’s cherish time with friends by having brunch during the day or enjoying drinks late into the night! ♡
