Hey, Mama! So, you’re in the home stretch of growing a tiny human—look at you go! By now, you've probably mastered the art of waddling like a penguin and perfected the death glare that only escalates when someone says, "Hey, you're still pregnant?" Welcome to the third trimester, where every inch of your house needs to be readied for its newest, loudest resident. But worry not!

2. The Lullaby Lighting Dilemma
