There is absolutely no way to get yourself mentally ready for the birth of your first child. You’ve probably already been told multiple times, “Oh, it’ll transform your life!” but until that little bundle arrives, you can’t know just how accurate that statement is going to be until you experience it for yourself.
There is not much that Safestore can say to better prepare you for the range of feelings that you are going to go through over the next several weeks and months; nevertheless, from a purely practical standpoint, there are some things that you can do to make your life simpler.
Getting ready to set up your child’s bedroom
For the first six months, your infant must share your bedroom. It’s not absolutely necessary to have the nursery set up the day you bring your kid home from the hospital, but trust them when Safestore say it’s far simpler to do so now than it would be when caring for a baby who’s six months old. It is possible that the nursery has already been filled with other furniture (maybe it has been used as a spare room or office), which will need to be relocated in order to create room for the cot, changing table, and other baby-related items.
There’s no sense keeping unnecessary stuff lying around when you can keep them safe and secure in a self-storage facility until you need them. If you already have a crib and changing table, it makes sense to keep using them until your child outgrows them. Similarly, if you already have a desk and chair, it makes sense to use those until your child outgrows them.
Setting up the rest of the house
Houses are baby-proofed in phases. Since your baby will be somewhat immobile at first, you won’t have to do anything; however, once your baby begins to crawl, and then to walk, you will need to raise everything a little. When they figure out how to climb, then the real problems begin.
After making room for your baby’s toys and gear, you may discover that you have too much furniture. A glass-topped table, for example, is both potentially hazardous and something you probably wouldn’t want broken by accident (e.g. vases, crystal figurines). You may choose to store your stuff in a clean, dry storage facility until your child is old enough to be trusted around fragile items at home. You are free to leave your belongings in their care for as long as you desire.
It will be much simpler to take pleasure in your new arrival after your home has been cleaned and prepared for their entrance. You should also take advantage of your time together because, as you’ve probably heard many times, “They grow up so fast…”
Keep some of the clothes, toys, and other items if you can use them again if you decide to do it all over again.
