How are you spending leave?

Musicmama135 · April 2013

I'm really happy that this LO is coming in the summer, it's going to make leave much more fun! We have lots of parks around us, and a wonderful free waterpark about 15 minutes away. I hope to get the kids out of the house and enjoying the summer! We are a

This baby is my first, so mostly I think I'll be overwhelmed with basic newborn care. But I'm really looking forward to taking walks with the baby and the dog before/after the heat of the day, and not wearing jeans until September. We're hoping to take a

I can't wait to use my baby to make some neighbourhood friends. We moved a year ago but I haven't had a reason to hang out at the local park without looking creepy. I'm excited to have an ice breaker.

In my head, maternity leave will consist of long walks with the stroller, getting my prepregnancy body back, and finishing a novel that I started writing.

I have a feeling that the impending reality check will be painful.

I want to start a garden with my other two. My oldest will start preschool in September so I plan on getting him on a good schedule for that. Other than that just have some fun!

Trying to sleep as much as I can, pump and freeze as much BM as I can, take DS for walks and ditch the baby weight.

during mat leave with DD I tried to accomplish too much and I was an exhausted mess. I'm taking it easier this time a

eco+ri · April 2013

I have to say I'm excited to take the baby and DS on outings. My husband has early work hours so that will be nice during the warmer days. I too have to pump and freeze for when the party is over lol, so I'll be working that out also.
Just to even

Schmidt329 · April 2013

This is my first, so I am sure there will be lots of quality time snuggling at home and figure out our routine.

Since I only get 6 weeks, I do want to try to get in as many walks, outings, and exercise as I can so I feel I make the most of my time with

Exhausted, covered in baby yuck, just glad to take a shower. But full of love and snuggles.

laurenann82 · April 2013

I hope it's not too super hot so Baby Jack and I can spend a lot of time hanging out on the patio instead of being inside the house. I'd like to go for walks around the neighborhood, go to the coffee shop and the park, stuff like that. MH and I are planni

whirlygirl00 · April 2013

Depends on how easy this baby is lol. DS was the easiest newborn ever so I feel like I'm going to get the opposite this time. DS will be in daycare part of the week and days he's home I'm hoping to do some day trips with them both (local farms, splash

With my DD being 20 months and DH being a teacher (off summers), we will be taking many trips to the Philly Zoo, day trips to the Delaware beaches, pool days, Philly museums, and walking.

DD was born in October so we fell right into hibernation

Ana0927 · April 2013

Outside as much as possible. My DD will be in school all day so it will just be me and the baby. I also joined a pool so I will be spending most of my time there as well. I am looking foward to spending time with my friends who stay at home, picnicing, a

Sleeping... cleaning my house... shopping. Enjoying pretty weather with new LO, appreciating my ILs coming to help me. Basically all the stuff I can't do when I am working 50+ hours per week.

kasabby · April 2013

I am a FTM so I am sure I will be just learning the ins and outs of being a mom. I envision lots of walks and spending some time outside.
