We got home a couple hours ago from a busy day of various events with family and friends, and I just spent a ridiculous amount of time updating our registries. (Thanks to all who offered feedback about cloth diapers and about baby registry stuff in general!! Much appreciated.) As I was winding down from this activity and couldn't decide what to do next, I realized that the frenzy in my mind was similar to when I was in school and was frantically trying to procrastinate on anything with a deadline. Hmmm....
(Maybe I can "psychologize" myself?)
Then it hit me! All of the sudden we're only about four months away from the biggest change of our lives, and I have no idea how babies work!!! Seriously, I've never even changed a diaper. And I'm such a neophyte that I don't even know what else I don't know!
So how did I use the rest of my evening? By reading ahead in my pregnany month-by-month book? Nope. By reading the stack of books on our coffee table about how to get baby to sleep well? (thanks, Ryan!) Nope. By doing something unrelated but fun, in order to end my weekend well? Definitely (sadly) not.
Instead, I spent more time online by researching the "best" baby books. So we now have a couple baby books on order from Amazon. Oh, and I also signed us up for our prenatal education class: March 10!!!
Once our books arrive, I think I may have to create a study schedule for the next few months, just like I used to do in the old days...
Sleep well, everyone! Hope you all had a good weekend.
I think this could also be the time to slow down and enjoy life.
