Month 6
As your pregnancy progresses, you'll have more things to do to prepare for your baby's arrival. During month 6, everything from scheduling a massage and signing up for childbirth classes, to considering a family car and choosing how to announce your baby's birthday, will make things easier both today and months from now. Later, you'll be fully occupied with the love and care of your baby, so take the opportunity this month to take care of business.
Prepare Birth Announcements
Taking care of birth announcements now will save you precious time during those first weeks when your baby comes home. If you are using paper announcements, you can stamp and address the envelopes now to save time later. All that remains is to add photos, if you wish. In the 21st century, you have almost endless options of how to announce your new child in the world.
Make an Appointment For Massage
It can ease the aches and pains that come with pregnancy. Find a qualified person who is specially trained in massage during pregnancy. Be sure to look for someone with the professional designation, LMT (licensed massage therapist). Find a massage therapist through the American Massage Therapy Association.

If You Need a Different Car...
Your pre-baby wheels may not be appropriate for driving around with a baby. If you need to unload your two-door sports car for a more practical vehicle, it's time to investigate your options. Read: Buy Car Before Baby Comes Home
Where There's a Will There's Security
Getting a will drawn up may not be a pleasant thought. After all, there wouldn't be a need for a will unless something happened to you or your spouse. But a will is a way to be sure your child will be cared for in the event of an accident or illness. If you already have a will, you'll probably want to change it to include a new beneficiary. See your legal counsel or purchase a pre-made will-writing kit to make your own document.
