New Year’s Reminders
It’s the New Year and the traditional time to make resolutions. I’ll be honest, with the baby a month away, I’m not really looking to set steadfast goals. Would I like to write a book? Absolutely. Brush up on my French? Oui. Drop each and every pound of baby weight? I think that answer is pretty obvious. But, with this being my third baby, I know what lies ahead and I don’t want the pressure of caring for a newborn, while feeling guilty if I don’t have the energy to meet certain objectives. So, I’m not making resolutions this time around. Instead, I’m reminding myself of what I feel is important and desirable. And, so, my New Year’s reminders are as follows:
- Finally settle on a baby girl name.
- Have a natural birth with a healthy mom and baby.
- Spend at least the first year nursing without complaining about the time commitment.
- Read a lot, even if I’m tired from caring for a newborn.
- Run. And feel blessed to be able to do it again.
- Encourage a good sleep schedule for the baby, but don’t be beholden to it.
- Be more flexible. And I’m not talking about touching my toes (though that would be nice, too).
What about you? Did you set any resolutions or reminders?
