I was thinking about it'd be nice to start a thread. 
My positive goals is to have:
*A fun summer enjoying our LO being with us.
*Share experience with eachother how we make the plan go smooth raising our first LO!
*Allow others to try baby sit while I clean or ride my horses
*Camping more this year with LO...I cannot wait!

Re: Positive Goals and Thoughts
1. Not be afraid to ask for help.
2. Go on a beach vacation to my hometown next spring with LO.
3. Have a standing weekly date with my new mom friends to support each other and prevent isolation.
2. Establish a routine with LO.
3. Get out of the house enough to avoid depression.
3. Get my body back. Not it the "I need to lose this weight kind of way" (although that is a little part of it), but in the physical health way of what I need to do to manage the fibro.
2) establish breastfeeding
3) get a tan. Sit outside and enjoy summer!
4) get depression meds on track postpartum
I was thinking that I should add that for sure!!!!!!
2. Be kind to myself and be reasonable in my expectations.
3. Make time for DH and our relationship. Happy relationship = happy parents.
4. Have fun with the messy chaos that comes with kids.
* hopefully get outside and do some stuff
* and I'm taking this one from @MrsWiggleWaggle - not be afraid to ask for help
Goals:
1. Settling into the new house with LO and hubby.
2. Enjoying being able to be outside during summer months
3. Lots of visits with nana and papa! They live out of town but with the LO's arrival, we'll likely see them much more often.
4. A big glass of white wine
- graduate! No more school for me ever again (or so I tell myself lol)!
- as soon as I feel up to it and I feel that baby's ready, go on walks around the neighborhood with DH and baby when the weather permits. Also start branching out to meet other moms
- adjust to the new normal of my relationship with DH now that we'll officially be parents. I've heard that transitioning from a family of two to a family of three can be tough; I hope that DH and I can face this challenge head-on as a team!
- be the best mom I can be! I hope I'll be willing to listen to advice, but also trust my gut instincts as to what's best for our situation.
2. establish a good balance with DH, amid our new roles and this new element of our life together. I don't want to criticize how he parents, and I want to keep a focus on our relationship, too... While recognizing it could take up to a year to get really settled into our new life again.
3. Patience, patience, patience. stay calm and enjoy the moments, while recognizing and just accepting the large levels of stress that are natural to the process.
Easy to say now - let's see how it all turns out! But I believe in goals, visualization and positive thinking, so this thread is great. Good luck to all of us!
It is so true.
My goals are:
-establish a good balance/routine with DS and LO.
-find a good babysitter that we can trust taking care of both kids so I can get out for occasional me time and date nights.
-get out for walks at least three days a week.
-go camping multiple times with the kids this summer and fall.
-Get both kids out, I'm going to join the pool so DD can swim and splash around and they both can get plenty of fresh air!
-Get fully moved into our new house because I'll have all summer to get it decorated and set up the way I want!
-Set up a good routine with two kids now so that DH and I still have time together and both kids get equal attention
-relax! I want to enjoy all the time I have off with my two little ones
