Some of the more specific objectives that I believe will help me reach this goal include:
- Getting out of my work funk. In May I will start a one-year maternity leave, during that time period, I think I need to do some soul searching. I am not convinced that I want to go back to the job I currently have - but don't want to start on something else, unless I know it is what I want to do. Haven't quite figured out how I am going to accomplish this one yet.
- Losing some weight - I am of course going to wait until after I have the baby. But once this baby comes out I am getting myself back to Weight Watchers, and once I get the doctor's okay I am going to dust off the treadmill in my basement and work towards being able to run 5K.
- Breast feeding - it didn't work out with Elise, but I am hoping to have more success this time. I feel more educated than I did last time, I have done some reading and have hired a post-partum doula. Hopefully the combination will lead to more success than I had last time.
- Finally - surviving being home full time starting in May with a 21 month old, who has endless energy and her newborn brother. Which reminds me, I need to start looking into some play groups and activities that will keep a two year old occupied in September (I figure for the summer months - the park will be enough!)
