Pre-baby window shopping

Pre-baby window shopping

Pre-baby shopping is a great way to get exercise, get out of the house and learn about the rigors of parenting.

Pregnant women know that nine months is a long time to wait for the arrival of their baby. Those nine months are so chock-full of anticipation and preparation, that it's necessary to have an outlet for all this intensity. We think we have just the activity for you!

First, if you head into any baby store, whether a small boutique or giant super-store, you'll find products that you won't recognize. We all know about strollers, bibs and diapers, but what in the world is a Bumbo Seat? Maybe your shopping expedition will help you find out.

Window shopping is great fun, but even more so, it's great exercise. Ever noticed how tiring a day of shopping can be? Ever wondered why? You walk several miles over the course of one afternoon shopping. Doing so while pregnant is great for both mommy and baby.

Whether you're working during your pregnancy or not, it's always good just to get out of the house and get some fresh air. Make a day out of your shopping excursion. Go to a local cafe and get an herbal tea.

Variations:
See a movie if your feet are getting tired. Or head to a bookstore and read for awhile.

Anyway you do it, make a date with yourself (and baby) and have some fun!
