Post written Dec. 14 – which means….HOORAY! We’re all caught up on posts! Now I can start blogging in real-time.
Call me crazy, but I’m really looking forward to January. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not trying to rush the holidays by AT ALL, but just yesterday I was emailing with a friend about plans to get organized and all of these goals, that I just got…excited!
Last year was simply dreadful. I didn’t make any new year’s resolutions. I was suffering from SAD. I was bored and apathetic. I was just…a loser. But these last several months have been wonderful and I’m ready to take on all the joys that 2012 has to offer. Just some of the things I’m looking forward to…
1. Finding out the gender of our baby
2. Getting the holiday decorations NICELY put away and organized. Unlike last year where everything was just sort of thrown in the basement
3. Organizing our office, our files, and decluttering
4. Decorating the nursery
5. A baby shower!
6. Um, a baby. Of course.
7. Wedding planning with one of my bestest friends
8. Throwing an engagement and bachelorette party (and since the bachelorette party will most likely be post-baby, actually attending it and enjoying it with the rest of the ladies.)
9. Being able to enjoy a beer or couple of glasses a wine this summer and fall
10. New job opportunities for friends and family.
11. Hopefully some new baby news or even births in there too (other than mine)
12. Tax returns. Always a joy.
13. My 30th birthday and my mom’s 50th
14. LOTS of shopping for baby
15. An entire summer of PAID maternity leave coupled with a full month of (unpaid) paternity leave for the hubs.
16. New workout routines
17. Dusting off that old Weight Watchers membership (post-baby)
19. Celebrating 7 years at the workplace and hopefully continuing to work on cool projects
20. Maybe a couple of weekend getaways, if we’re lucky. Babymoon anyone?
21. A new car. Hopefully just one though and not two.
See what I mean? 2012 is going to rock my socks off. I can’t wait!
That is a lot to look forward to! All of them seem exciting too! Try to enjoy the time you get to spend while pregnant since you’re having a pretty good experience. I’m sure there’s nothing like it. Merry Christmas!
