For a smaller KZread creator, you have an INSANE amount of videos. Still haven't watched them all. Can't tell you how many times I've watched some over again like 'what did Mandi say about that thing again?' Trust me, you can realistically bounce for a few months and still have views. You have so much content!! I know as a small business owner these are the things you have to think about but just have a safe birth cause wow! 36 weeks! The bun is about ready to come out of the oven! Sending good vibes your way.

Don’t forget to schedule snuggles, cuddles, and just general adoring baby time. 😊 Some of those first baby nap times in yellow, should probably be mom nap times too. Even if you don’t nap for hours like she will, a 25 minutes refresher will help.

As a mom of two I so feel the exhaustion! And it doesn't really go away, it just morphs. Everyone's experience is going be a bit different. But one thing I would suggest is to not be afraid to use daycare when baby is old enough. Even if it is for a few hours once or twice a week. But to keep that option open you need to start researching now. Many daycares (in my area) have a wait-list so you want to know if that is a place you even want to consider. If you need a day or two to dedicate to work, or to house cleaning, or to filming, or just to yourself please consider the option. As a side note, with my second I had some post partum depression and having one day a week where I had a few hours to not be mom helped me recover my mental health again. I would just feel better if you are aware that daycare is a viable option if you need some time away from the baby, even if you don't need it.

The most important thing to remember about becoming a parent for the first time is to give yourself grace and try to be flexible. But with this plan, I think you will do well. ❤

Mandi, you rock! I wish I could clone this outline! All the best to you and baby, and you do what works for you and baby. We'll be here when u jump on!❤

Wishing you the best for you and your baby, Mandi. Best wishes to you and your family.

Are you going to do any formatting?

I'm launching a new KZread channel in 2024 called Apollo Papyrus and archiving The Heartland Author Channel. I hope you have a safe childbirth and are able to achieve a work-life balance that works for you!
