Most people have a Bucket List {I have one too}, but I made a Diaper-Pail List as well.
What is a Diaper-Pail List...It is my list of things I want to do before I kick the next Diaper-Pail {which will happen most likely in the middle of the night, in the dark with a screaming baby and a leaky chest while I pray my husband and Emrie sleep through it}.
The count-down is on...Only 113 more days until baby girl is due and I am already mourning my one-on-one time with Emrie. While I know we will be so excited to have BVG2 join us, I can't help but mourn the fact that I only have 4 more months with just Emrie {and her wonderful, long naps when I have time to get projects done}.
Diaper-Pale List:
1. Take Emrie to the Zoo 4 times {once each month}
2. Take Emrie to the Children's Museum 4 times {once each month}
3. Make BVG2 a baby quilt
4. Sew Emrie's 'Big Girl' bedding
5. Finish Emrie's 'Big Girl' room
6. Make 4 matching outfits for Emrie and BVG2 {eight total, one set each month}
7. Teach Emrie all the parts of the face {right now we only have eye}
8. Go on a hike
9. Read the Hunger Games series
10. Plan Phil's high school reunion {this is kind of a big one}
11. Shoot at a shooting range {just because I have really wanted to}
12. Go on 4 Picnics {once each month}
13. Make all three of us girls matching headbands for the 4th of July {assuming she gets here by then}
14. Finish 2011 and start 2012 scrapbooks
15. Plan a really nice date night with Phil
16. ENJOY THE SMALL THINGS!!!
I am sure other things will come up, but for now, these are my goals!
I am so impressed with your ambition! Your goals are very inspiring to someone like me (and I'm not even pregnant) :) I hope E continues to bless you with long naps so you can accomplish everything you want and more!
ReplyDeleteAgreed--you are so inspiring in your desire to make the most of these last few months as a mama of 1! And we'd be happy to watch sweet Emrie when you go on your date!!:)
