Since I talked so much about making lists and how that makes me feel better, here are some of the goals I have till the end of the year!
1. finish knitting my first scarf! That might not sound like a lot to some of you, but for someone who never really knitted before, it's a big deal. My friend K showed me how to do it couple of weeks ago and while my arms hurt after 6 rows, I am hooked. I am hoping to reach my goal since I have to be in bed rest until C comes
2. find a "mom's group" in Attleboro. I imagine life with a baby will be incredibly great, but insane at the same time. While I love our friends and their kids, they all live about 1 hour away from us. Not quite the closest trip for some adult time (no worries, I will still make the drive for some play dates!). So I decided to start looking at some local groups that C and I can go once she is born
3. re-start my etsy store. The past year has been such a crazy one, and I never really had the energy to invest some time in my etsy store. Now that I can't be doing much anyhow, I would like to start taking photos of my stuff and list them up (I should probably start by making some jewelry first, ha?)
4. host the second annual jewelry party. Maybe sometimes in September, in the back yard, with some fun food and kids running around (not C, since she will only be few months old by then). This one is a difficult one, just because it's always hard to find enough confidence to invite your friends to see and maybe buy things you made yourself. But I will give it a try, the overwhelming positive response from last year will give me the courage to do so
5. come up with a solid plan on how to make sure that A and I spend time together alone once C is born. I am hoping that between all the "adopted" aunts and uncles, grandparents and friends, we could find some sort of time! I am a firm believer that remembering to be a husband or a wife will help you be a better parent
Wish me luck, keep your fingers crossed and ask me how I am doing with reaching my goals!
Cheers!

Oh, this "auntie" will babysit no problem! I am speaking for Dan too, who cannot wait for C to get here!
your knitting is coming right along. Just enough to distract you from the whole bed rest thing.
;)K
we can't wait for her to be here too (this way no more high bp for me or hospital stays!)
Auntie Kate and uncle Dan will be our first choices for non family baby sitting!!! We are glad someone is as excited about C as we are!
