Guilty pleasures while on maternity leave

What guilty pleasures do you hope to partake in while on your maternity leave?

For me, it will be binge watching tv shows DH doesn't like. I'm obsessed with daytime "judge" shows. And maybe I'll delve into my X-Files series box set and see how far I get! Or perhaps a rewatch of BBCs Pride & Prejudice is in order...

    I am SO EXCITED for library time and walks with LO! We live in a fantastic walking neighborhood and I definitely plan to take advantage of that.

    We have a great neighborhood for walking and I can't wait to go on walks with LO, DH, and our dog. I've imagined this since we bought our house a couple years ago!

    Of course NETFLIX and cuddling the new LO is #1, going to the park will be so nice, my 5 year old is really looking forward to having a sibling! ....BUT if we are taking about GUILTY pleasure.. then having a cold beer would be mine! Blue moon with an orange slice! 


    Had to edit because of my morning brain! :)
    Yes. A GUILTY pleasure will be a nice cool beer while hanging out outside

    Beer!  Who knew I could miss beer this much.  As a FTM I say these things, so who knows if they will actually happen, but I'm really looking forward to dressing LO up in some of the cute outfits we've found.  Also, we've decided that while DH works, I'm going to take LO to Vancouver to visit the family for a little while, so it will be nice to be spoiled and surrounded by family for a bit.  Also, summer time activities in general.

    I live in Texas so it's going to be super hot while one leave- walks will have to be done in the mornings or late evenings- sort of bummed about that!

    Having a margarita!

    Spending time outside and actually getting some sun! So pumped! Generally I would be working Monday-Friday 9-5 all summer.

    It's funny because I keep thinking "I better watch all the NETFLIX I can now while I have the time and energy before baby arrives" hahahha

    But to answer the question... I am excited to drink some sangria in my deck on a nice summer evening.

    I think it's safe to say a lot of us miss our delicious adult beverages!

    Margaritassss! Porch sitting! Baby loving!

    I have been wanting a cold beer, but hadn't thought about Blue Moon...thanks ladies! Definitely on my list now! I'm in Texas too so it's too hot to do much outside. Looking forward to time with family and our new little boy. And enjoying a Blue Moon! Beer supposedly helps milk production so bring it!

    Enjoying time with LO while my mom watches DS on and off for a month. It'll be nice to have the extra help. Going on walks and hopefully camping towards the end of summer. We have a camper so throwing the p&p in it or our bassinet won't be a big deal. DS loves camping as much as we do so it'll be nice to get some trips in this year. I'm also looking forward to some Mojitos and a nice cold beer.

    I'd like to also to go camping if we can this summer! We don't have a camper, we have a tent, but its a huge tent. Like a mansion tent. You can stand up completely in it and put two queen airbeds in it side by side and *still* have room to walk along the edges. Totally big enough for our queen airbed and the pack n play. Just concerned about baby crying and waking up / annoying other campers

    I'm looking forward to swimming and wearing summer fashion that is not maternity, although I might be dreaming and will prob still be in my all black maternity uniform. Eating whatever I want and just hanging with friends at bbqs and not feeling like I want to kill myself by 7 pm

    Dh and me are planning to watch all the Lord of the rings and hobbit movies, relax out on the deck with sangria and maybe a cigar while the lo sleeps.

    Late night grilling with the in-laws, drinking beer and getting to smoke menthols again (sue me), watching OINTB with LO while DH is at work...Honestly, I just want to make the most of my time off and bond with LO, but I really am looking forward to some normalcy.

    We really want to get a camper when our LO gets old enough! Fun!
