GTKY: What are you most excited for in 2018?

Inspired by our resolutions thread, what are you most excited for in 2018 (other than baby)? A season change? A vacation? A movie release? A show premiere? 

Re: GTKY: What are you most excited for in 2018?

  • That I'll hopefully be going down to part time at work!
  • Loading the player...

  • Getting our house furnished and decorated the way we’d like. We bought it at the end of July but had to wait until this year to have the extra cash for all those big purchases. My sister made it seem like they are going to stay TTC after their marathon in March. It makes me excited to think our kids won’t be too far apart in age.

  • I have 2 SILs in the TTC/about to TTC process, so I'm excited at the hope for some cousins!
  • Ditto on the 3 months off during summer! 

    Really the warmer weather in general. I typically work 2nd shift anyways and miss having my coffee out on the patio and relaxing outside before going in at 1130 and getting ready for work. I'm sure this summer will be less relaxed but still looking forward to time outside. Chicago had a pretty decent summer last year and hoping this is the same because I also don't like 90 and humid. Ew. 


  • This is aside from baby, right? ;) lol!

    - Getting our house organized and getting on top of things
    - My husband has been working on a workbench in our basement for what feels like forever!
    - painting our bedroom and the nursery {I like the colour, so it'll be the same}
    - seeing my bff for our yearly visit lol!
    - directly baby related, but we find out gender next Monday! :)

  • I’m excited for it not to be winter anymore. 

    I’m excited for Avengers and Fantastic Beasts. 

    I’m hopeful for the midterm elections. 

    I’m hopeful about moving to CA! 

    I’m excited about two friends’ weddings in the fall. 

    I’m excited about The Magicians new season (lol). 
  • I am excited to meet this baby and excited/terrified to see what life with 3 is like.

     I am hoping that this is the year we declutter and get our house listed.

     I am hoping that we see some world/country improvements, but the news usually crushes these hopes.

    I am anxious for warm weather and walks.
  • I'm really looking forward to our big family vacation to Key West in March. FX babies keep cooking and my cervix stays long so I can make it!

  • I have two really close friends who are planning to buy/rent houses in my neighborhood this year. One has a 2-year-old and is also currently pregnant, and my heart is exploding at the thought of our kids attending the same schools and really growing up together.

  • Another who is excited about time off I'm the summer.
  • Not returning to work after the summer. I love my job, but I’m excited to take a year (at least) off to be with the babes. I’m also nervous. But mostly excited.
  • I’m excited for weather that’s not -36 degrees 
    and for continuing to renovate our fixer upper! We plan on getting our kitchen and mud room redone before baby arrives, and I can’t wait to start that design process! 
  • -warmer weather. 
    - 16 solid weeks off from work to enjoy said weather. 
    -taking our family to Florida at some point this year, that's our 12 year olds travel request this year. Thinking maybe road trip in August before school starts back up. 
  • @izza2 yes! I had a DS in winter right at the peak of flu season. Bringing home a NICU baby, I was so scared about RSV and flu and anything else that I was terrified to leave the house with him. I kept him in his car seat and covered up for such a long time and getting him out of the car seat in public freaked me out. Fortunately he never caught anything. 

    I’m hoping to be less of a crazy pants this summer with this one.

  • I'm also excited for a spring baby.  DS1 was born in May and it was nice that he could have a flu shot his first winter (they don't do them until 6 months old).  DS2 was a September baby and since he already had health issues I was terrified to leave the house with him until spring.
