Does anybody have a pre-baby Bucket List? It might have to do with savings, or home ownership, or something else.
We've been cleared to TTC next cycle (which should start in less than a week!) and so no bucket list for me, but I did get to do a few things last weekend that were biggies: go see a professional musical with Hubs, and see Lake Tahoe. I'm wondering about the safety of skiing if only a few months pregnant and if only on easy slopes...

I have a pre-baby Bucket List, but TTCing isn't contingent on it, if that makes sense. There's things I want to do before having a baby, but if I don't do them, they won't hold me back.
1. Get in Shape (working on this one - hoping to lose 10 lbs before TTC in January, but... we'll see)
2. Clean the House (and keep it clean - I recently created a schedule for myself to clean the house. I don't think I'll get to everything, but I want to get the main rooms of the house clean and tidy before baby)
3. Travel (I've kind of given up on this one. I wanted to go to England and Greece before having kids, but now I'll do them sometime later. We DID go to the Carribean twice in the past year and I'm going to Las Vegas in December, so I've definitely gotten some traveling in).

Rome was on our Pre-Baby bucket list- check! Since we are older (thirties) and settled in careers etc there just isn't a lot of other stuff we are wanting to "check off", most likely we've already done it or don't plan to let kids get in the way of doing it later.

I want to get rid of my credit card debt before hand. So that's a priority. Then once that's done I'm saving up for baby, and when we are completely debt free (probably 1.5 years after baby) then we are going on a trip. kidless.

Our bucket list was:
1. Get married (check!)
2. Buy a house (check!)
3. Adopt a dog (check!)
4. Go to Europe on a vacation (pseudo-check... we went to Hawaii last month)
5. Lose weight (uhh this will probably not happen)
So we're pretty much good to go. SCARY!

We wanted to travel a bit more - we took a few good vacations after getting married and after my miscarriage in June went on a very relaxing spa vacation to Camelback Mt.
I also wanted to lose the 5 lbs I gained since our wedding, but that didn't happen.
PS - skiing I was told by my doc that skiing is a no no in pregnancy (and booo I'm a big skier!) the theory is that even if you go slow or are a good skier, there are a lot of other skiers on the mountain who can run into you, etc.

@ WinnieBee - Yeah, I figured. Some sites say it's okay if you're pretty early along, but I won't chance it if we do get PG.

I wanted to see/experience Paris with my husband for the first time for both of us while we were still young and wild. Got that done a year before trying! Also bought a house before we had our daughter, that was also one of the prebaby bucket list items.
