Have a baby

I achieved this goal in January of this year and am now the mother of a beautiful seven month old baby.

I’ve been keeping a secret blog to write my baby musings in.
We’re actively trying now, but so far no joy.

• dental checkup (no xrays while preggers)
• buying and taking folic acid and other supplements
• Reading up as much as I can
• getting tetanus shot(I’m 2 years overdue) and checking if my other antibodies like rubella are still going strong
• Losing weight to make conception easier and make it safer for my body during pregnancy (don’t want diabetes) and starting off lighter should mean I look cuter pregnant too
• doing kegal exercises down there
• Saving some money for the baby accessories like clothes, furniture….

I think that is the whole checklist. Anything I’ve forgotten?

I’ve spent quite a bit of time meeting with babies this week. On Sunday I visited with a group of friends and there was a 9month old, a 2 year old and a 3 year old there. I made sure to get over my shyness and play with them. A co-worker bought in his wee son this week too and again I went over and said hello and played peek-a-bo and stuff.
I want to be quite confident by the time it comes to having my own wee one.

I’ve been married for almost 6 months now, and my husband and I decided that we’d wait till christmas before deciding when to try to have a baby.

Hopefully he’ll feel like me and want to start trying asap.

Next steps are to learn as much as I can about pregnancy, babies, and motherhood. I also need to focus on getting routines in my life and being financially comfortable as much as possible. It would be helpful if I can get lots of other goals completed before we focus on this one.
