Here's a quick recap of my February goals and how I did on them:
+ finish Gallows Thief and re-read Emma - check! Emma is always a great Valentine's month read, and the Gallows Thief was really intriguing and well-paced (although it was abruptly very graphic in some parts).
+ buy a crib - you guys. I am so overwhelmed when it comes to buying baby stuff. I'm slowly accruing a stack of tiny baby clothes, but when it comes to carseats and strollers and cribs, my head starts to feel like it's going to explode! (I get my drama from my 5th graders.) So many options, so expensive, so many safety guidelines, and everyone has a different opinion. It's safe to say this goal was a total fail. Our baby room is still just an empty room.
+ keep up my exercise schedule - The funny thing is, just a day or two after I picked this goal, it became necessary to change my workout routine. Running became rather painful all of a sudden, so I stopped. I'm still trying to exercise as frequently, but I'll do an elliptical workout or a fast walk instead of a run. So I give myself a semi-check for this goal.
+ have a great round of parent teacher conferences - check! Even though it makes for long days, I actually really like parent teacher conferences. My students are awesome this year, and it's fun to celebrate their progress with their parents.
+ feel my baby move - double check! I feel her move all the time, and I love it.
+ read my scriptures every day - also check! Although some days it was five verses as I drifted off to sleep... Still working on it.
And now for my March goals:
In March, I choose to:
+ drink 80 ounces of water a day
+ make reservations for our babymoon
+ go on at least 7 family walks
+ do something awesome to celebrate Jason's birthday
+ prepare to camp with 150 fifth graders for three days (yup, I'm doing it again this year!)
+ start getting serious about post-baby plans for next year and working
