Re: :::Chicago Bump Check-in:::
OK. I'll kick it off! Goals for 2011:
1. Overseas travel with our little man - this may remove a couple years from my life, but my BIL lives in London, and we're excited to go visit him!
2. Take Friday afternoons off in the summer and use them to take DS to the park - on my last day of maternity leave, I walked by a park near our house at 3pm and saw a lot of moms and dads in business attire playing with their kids on the swingsets, etc. I want to be like that.
3. Get back in running shape. I'm considering a half marathon in 2011 - not my first, but I dropped running when pregnant (after a 1st tri scare), so getting back to running will be no small task!
Our first is due in September, so my goals for 2011 involve getting ready for him/her. I want to redecorate our 2nd bedroom and get it ready for the baby, get our 2nd bathroom redone and just get rid of old stuff.
For those of you who are interested in running a half--I'm not a runner, but I have a good friend who is. She really likes the Rock and Roll half marathon. Good luck to all of you!

(sorry for using up some of your ideas in the getting to know you post!)
Looking forward to : dd learning to walk and talk, her 1st birthday (if I keep saying it, maybe I'll beleive it
, I cannot believe how fast this year went!), traveling with dd - dh and I both love to travel, we want her to pick up the love, also. Hopefully making some mommy friends in the area, I only know a few, and our schedules don't mesh to well. Cheering dh on at an early season tri and several other races. I'm also considering training for a 5 or 10k and not telling him about it, and then signing up and figuring out how to convince him to show up at it. It's been a few years since I did a 5k, but I need to get back into it.
I am looking forward to our DD turning three and entering preschool this fall.
Also looking forward to enjoying the warmer weather again, going to the outdoor farmer's market, going for longer bike rides and actually enjoying it, taking DD swimming..
QOTD: Well i am not as ambitious as the rest of you runners, but for me to get back into running means I'd like to do the 10K I did last year. i think that I will be able to get back into running between july and october.
The obvious as well: having a baby, preparing for that baby, and becoming a parent.
Before then i'd like to end the school year with low blood pressure (i am a teacher and some days these kids just might be the end of me.) I am planning on signing up for a prenatal yoga and aqua aerobics class in the next few weeks with a friend, and I am looking forward to that as well. The final thing Im looking forward to is scheduling a babymoon over spring break. I love to travel and can't wait to get away to sand and sun.
I'd like to be added to the list.
Currently pregnant with our first, due 4/16/11, live in the far northern burbs.
On the 2011 bucket list: Having as smooth a first year with the baby as possible! We'll be doing some traveling to visit family after he/she is born - as long as we get through that, hopefully the rest will seem easy!
J born 4/11/2011
I'm most looking forward to meeting this little lady and doing all our baby prep up through her arrival. Before baby I'm looking forward to our Babymoon to Mexico (end of next month!) and finishing up the nursery.
After baby, I'm looking forward to having the summer off to get to know her, taking her on walks and jogs and getting to know other local moms.
QOTD: What are you most looking forward to doing in 2011 (with your LO, travel-wise, etc.)? What's on your 2011 bucket list?
I'm looking forward to our annual trip to florida in March. This will be our first trip as a family so it will be extra special. As far as my bucket list, I'd like to be more organized, I need to work out more and loose the rest of my baby weight.
Hey lady! You can add me! Hopefully I can check in here from time to time!
DD born 6/3/2010, Streeterville/Gold Coast
QOTD: In 2011... I am looking forward to DH being done with graduate school and *hopefully* getting pregnant with LO#2. We're also hoping to take DD on her first vacation!
Because we're fancy like that.
Hey you! Was going to tell you about this, but keep forgetting! Happy to see you here.
We'll see if we can keep this going!
Hey everyone!
i'm starting the new year off with getting ready for our little one. I am so looking forward to having him in our lifes. I want to take good care of myself this year and i started my first prenatal water exercise class this week it was so much fun. I have already cleared out the nursery. my husband said we may have to wait to paint because its just to cold to open the windows so the paint can dry. but, i have tons of ideas flowing in my head and i'm started researching cribs, strollers, playpens and......etc.
Thursday, i had my checkup and the baby and i are doing great! my hubby and i got to hear the baby's heart which is always nice.
cheers lady3057 from edgebrook (nw side of chicago)
Ugh sorry for the multiple posts - bumping from my phone.
I'd like to be added - I'd be excited to see this board more lively. Our DS is 4 months (9.2.10) and we live in the Wicker Park/Bucktown area.
For 2011, I'd like to make some mom friends and learn how to cook better.
Hi Chicago Bumpies!
I'd like to be added. My DD is 18 months old and my DS is 1 month old. We live in the Far West Chicago Suburbs.
QOTD: In 2011, I am looking forward to all of us being together as a family. We had a few health issues at the end of 2010 so our family was separated for Christmas. I'm very much looking forward to a new year with hopefully all of us being healthier.
Birthdates:
DD: 06/23/09
DS: 12/14/10
Hey, ladies!
QOTD: For 2011, I'm looking forward to going to California in March with my DH to visit my family.
We're also looking forward to finding out what we're going to have and start planning for our LO's arrival.
I'd love to be added too!
I'm due 8/12/11 with #2. My due date also happens to be the 5th birthday of my DD!
We live in Lakeview.
Bucket List 2011:
I would love to get an active group together of Mom's in the city. Most of my friends don't have children and it's so hard to relate to them anymore. I would also like to do some remodeling on our house, such as a new shower in our master bathroom.
I really need to remember when the check-ins are.
QOTD:Well I guess I would say traveling to Philly for a wedding and shopping at the King of Prusha(sp?) mall! This is the year of weddings so I also cant wait to see some of my closest friends tie the knot. And of course seeing my little man grow! Its already going so quickly!
I'd like to get in on this.
RobynArbo, NW Burbs (Schaumburg), DS 12/15/07, pregnant w/ DD due 6/14/11
2011 Resolutions: Get back into documenting children's lives, blog, scrapbook, etc.
