Lately ( and I actually mean for the past year) I have been so busy just living in the moment that I have been so bad about making commitments and looking forward to things. Heck, it took me 20 weeks to tell most of my friends and family that I was expecting Noah. I started the blog and told no one. NOT A SOUL. I didn't want to make a big deal... just.in.case. It was horribly scary for me to think about any positive outcome because I knew what could really happen... The Unthinkable.
Fortunately, my pregnancy with Noah went well and he is here and he is thriving and I am ALMOST thriving. haha. No, kidding, I am well. Just a little sleep deprived.
Anyways, I have been bad. Friends, plans and life in general have been on the back burner and more than just the usual "I'm pregnant" or "I just had a baby" sort of way... more like a I am so scared that I better not move or breath kind of way.
Well, the world has been moving on and it's time that our family moves along with it. Oddly enough, I am actually a little bit excited about that and not as afraid as I thought I would be.
so here I am trying to plan out something further out than just a week and trying my best to make time for all the wonderful people in my life that I had put on hold for just a bit.
5 things I am ALREADY excited about and looking forward to:
-A trip to Arizona with friends in mid July
-A trip to Texas in late August
-Joining mommy/baby swimming
-Possibly starting up yoga again (if I can work the times out)
-Planning a BIG family trip for sometime in between now and the end of the year
I know my list will grow tenfold, but for now this is great... setting goals, getting excited and hopefully meeting them. YAY!
It is so hard to look ahead sometimes. You feel victory when you make it through the day sometimes. Sounds like you have a lot of fun things planned:)
ReplyDeleteIt just keeps getting better and better! I hope Faye and I will get to come to Dallas while you guys are there! We will work on it
ReplyDeleteI was hoping our trip would make it on the list! I'm looking forward to it too. Small steps are important too- you spontaneously came out on Friday- and doing anything spontaneous with a baby is a big deal! I know you'll meet all your goals.
