Not So New Years Resolutions

Well today I woke up and I realized a few things. Tomorrow my baby will be 7 weeks old, he is sleeping much better, I am finally starting to get the hang of at least part of this being a mom stuff, and most importantly now is the time to set new goals to achieve!

I realize that during the last 7 weeks I have not spent my "free" time very productively, so starting today the TV is turned off, Facebook will not be checked at every feeding, and I will not waste my time for myself or my time with my beautiful son.

Now just pointing out the things that I will not do is not enough, because if I do not create alternate activities then I will fall back into old habits. So starting today I WILL talk, dance, read, sing and play with my son more. I WILL read more, for pleasure and learning. I WILL start to exercise again (given I had to wait for doctors approval to start this anyway). I WILL begin preparing for the Mommy & Me groups that I want to start by March, one group for birth-2 and another group for 2-preschool. I WILL begin to play my dulcimer again and hopefully finally leave the beginner stage behind me. Finally I WILL begin to update our blog at least once a week.

I feel refreshed to know that I have so much to learn still, and excited to start doing it! For now I leave you with a picture of our little blessing :)
