Let's Make a List!

[LoveTypeThing]

Well, I talked to my husband this past week about when to have a baby (before now, he did not even like to talk about it!), and this conversation went really well. He said that he just wants to be in his last semester of school, so that he is out of school well before I give birth. This, I could respect and definitely understand, also this is only about 6-8 months away!

So, for all of us that are waiting to try, I thought it would be kinda fun to make a list of the things we want to do or that would be nice to do before we get pregnant. I will start the list, and everyone can add to it.

Take a vacation or road trip
Get in better shape
Wear everything in my wardrobe!
Take a cooking class

Update November 19, 2008

My husband and I have moved up our TTC date to March or April, however I am getting a little bit antsy, so I decided to alter my list a little. I am now going to list the things that I am going to enjoy doing before I get pregnant.

-Eating whatever I want (now that I have achieved my Get in Better Shape goal)
-The occassional drink
-Feeling energized! (I am holding onto hope that I will still feel energized during pregnancy, but this is my first, so this might be blind optimism)
-Having the freedom to plan my vacation from above list (we are planning a cruise in March, which I am not sure would mix with morning sickness)

What a great thread!

• Get in shape / Reach clothes size 8-10
• Get out of grazing habit / Not eat everything in sight / Be in CONTROL of my diet
• Keep house tidy EVERY DAY
• Feel sexy
• Recover from operation

Mine are more practical rather than things I'd like to do before having kids because, well we have one baby already and except for the above things we are ready for another... It would just be nice to accomplish the above first, as this will make us 100% indubitably ready.

i just about fit a travel system and the three of us in their and before maddi used to get my nan and her wheel chair in together, but no way would we get us all in! lucky my mum has a bigger more practical car. i nearly brought the mazda mx5 - thank god i didn't imagine getting maddi in that

as for disney - we was going to have the big white thing here but since maddi i suppose i've kinda changed how i feel and disney is our special place, we go to florida and paris regularly, before maddi so it seemed perfect and i can't wait to show maddi it when she's old enough so it just kinda fitted well thanks honey

Mine is:

Sort house out
Sort Garden out
Swop my MX5 for something bigger (might wait until I am actually pg before I do that)
Go On Holiday
Get back to my target weight
