WOAH! It’s baby month! Yep we are 3 weeks and 1 day away from baby girl making her appearance! I am large and in charge and I am ready to be done! But first lets look and see what I accomplished in October and also check out my November 2019 goals.
November 2019 Goals
In October I wanted to…
- Read 5 books – I read 2. I’ve been so tired that most reading time means nap time or bedtime.
- Finish baby girls nursery – Her nursery is done and I love how it turned out. We really didn’t do much different from how Liam’s was. Similar setup and same furniture just with girly touches.
- Write thank you notes (we have two showers this month) – Yes! We had two lovely sprinkles. One hosted by my mom and a family friend and one hosted by my group of girlfriends. Baby girl is SET!
- Do all the fall/Halloween things on our Fall bucket list with Liam – We did a lot! We did the Arboretum, pumpkin patch, trick-or-treating, decorated for fall, carved pumpkins. The only thing we didn’t do this year was the State Fair because I am way too pregnant for that.
- Have one date with Andrew at least (our anniversary is this month so this shouldn’t be hard) – We had two! We did go out for our anniversary and then Andrew had Columbus Day off so we had a day date.
- Start packing my hospital bag (WHAT!?) – I started it this week when I had a panic that I would go into labor early and not have things together. I at least have the most important stuff I want in the bag.
- Spend some quality 1:1 time with Liam – Yes! He had a few random days off school and we did lots of fun things. Plus he’s been super into coloring and watching movies and we also have played outside a ton. We have been doing a lot of special things with him too. We took him on a trolley ride, for frozen yogurt, to the pumpkin patch MANY times, The Arboretum, etc.
- Get at least 15 more posts written for the blog – Oh gosh I am done almost through February. Aside from sponsored content!
In November I want to…
- Have a baby (can that count?) I kid
- Rest and relax
- Do some fun 1:1 things with Liam
- Read 2 books
- Finish packing my hospital bag
- Go easy on myself these last 3 weeks
- Get the house prepped and organized for baby
- Assemble play mat, bouncer, and get the car seat installed
- Get 10 more posts written and scheduled

My Goals include making 15 to 20 You Tube videos. To continue marketing my eBook and to start another one.

You say go easy on yourself and then you say get the house prepped?!?! I’ll vote for going easy, period!!! 😋
Congratulations again ! Let the count down begin 🥰
Congratulations on baby #2! Be grateful for all that you’ve accomplished and don’t forget to take time for yourself before the real chaos begins.
I’m glad October treated you well, and I hope that you’re able to take it easy before your little one comes along! 🙂 One of my November goals is to push past the fear of failure and stay focused on accomplishing my goals.

That’s an ambitious list this close to baby time! I know some needs to be done, though, like resting, the hospital bag, and the car seat. But take it easy momma, you are doing hard work already!
Wow, you have lots to do this month! Hope you get everything sorted for your new arrival!
Yes… November calls for my yearly resolutions & goals review! While I set and work on my goals all year round, the end of year period takes more of my attention towards achievements!
Great goals! Keeping monthly goals is a good way to keep track at what we want to achieve. Taking it easy before having a baby is definitely important.
I love that make a list of monthly goals! I keep wanting to do this and this will be the month…thanks for the inspiration! 🙂
Happy to know that the nursery is done. It must have been exciting for you to put all those girl touches. Also, kudos for completing more posts. Love the professionalism. I truly admire your dedication and passion for blogging. Can’t wait to read them. 🙂
I will be praying for your safe delivery. Time to relax and be stress-free this November.
I can’t believe it’s almost baby time! Yay! Going gentle on yourself is a great goal.
Congratulations on Baby #2. I am sure you are super excited for that special day. Just remember to relax and spend as much time as you can with your eldest.
Um, hello, yeah, having a baby totally counts! If that is ALL you can manage to “accomplish” in November, then I think you’re good lol!
