Overwhelmed

My post today was supposed to be a few things.

1.       It was supposed to be posted earlier

2.       It was supposed to be about another baby prep class

3.       It was supposed to be about my recent baby purchase and lastly,

4.       It was supposed to include some stuff about my weekend.

So clearly I have a lot going on and quite frankly it’s a little overwhelming. Truth be told I get overwhelmed with my to do list about once every 4 to 6 weeks so this is nothing new. However, once you throw in pregnancy induced exhaustion and laziness this amplifies this overwhelmed feeling. My husband asked me to write and everything down and we will begin to cross everything off together (I<3 him!). While I would love to start this list right here, right now- you might stop following me forever.

I'm so overwhelmed, I keep mixing up the days of me and hubby's engagement anniversary!

So, tomorrow we celebrate. 4 years ago tomorrow I had no idea what I was in store for. Hopefully I can capture this story again to share with you all. In the meantime- I panic... and create another list...

To-do: make a to-do list

I'm a list person. I work better off to-do lists. When I see what needs to be done, I remain focused and for the most part stay on track. Plus there is this great feeling of accomplishment once everything is crossed off.

To combat my slackerness I'm making a to do list. First up- Register for childbirth classes. I'm a newbie at this so I need all of the info I can get. Don't get me wrong I appreciate the seasoned mom advice, but I have a feeling that these people are leaving out the important stuff. So I'm we're going. I am taking the hubby along with me.

Number 2: Get a clue about maternity leave. I have heard so many stories and nothing concrete (hearsay is becoming a common theme here :/)

Number 3: I suppose we should register for some baby stuff. I find this to be a bit overwhelming as well. It looks like it may get easier with the 'Baby Bargains' book so we will see. I am assuming with the number of baby showers coming up in my family (first one is next weekend!) I have some time for this but people keep asking me so I am guessing they are trying to budget?

Number 4: Get some new living arrangements. Yes, we want to move; yes, I am 21 weeks; No, I will only be carrying pillows.

Number 5: babymoon? While I think this term is a marketing ploy (but what isn't?!) and people have been taking antepartum vacations for years without a babymoon package- I like the concept. I would love for me and my husband to getaway for a while and enjoying being a family of two. I have no clue where we would go but I am not fond of leaving the country right now in my current condition.

So much to do- so little time. We'll see how much of this gets crossed off before September 8. It's likely to grow before it gets finished.
