I literally live my life by to-do lists (and I'm not a project manager, per se, though my work does involve a lot of management of different projects...). I am very nervous about not being able to control my own schedule & plan out my whole day---nay, week---in advance! I'm sure baby will NOT abide by my color-coded google calender. But in the long-run, I think the organizational

I am so with you on the challenge of it. It is a really hard adjustment for those of us who get pleasure out of writing and crossing off to-do lists... but hopefully good for our souls.

You're right - it's not good or bad, it's just different. It took me about a week to really get past that weird panicky feeling I get when things aren't getting ~done~.

But we're all good now! It is a matter of getting used to a new routine. Of course, I still make the occassional list . . .

Agreeing with RUKiddingMe - ha! Hopefully your project management nature will help you figure out a way to do it all, girlfriend!

Your friend Dee is indubitably wise.

Because yeah. When Tiny B is here? The days you shower are going to be a successful day. You can make your lists, but the rate at which you tick things off will most definitly slow down.

(Early on, anyway. Then Tiny B will turn into a toddler and you'll be amazed at the amount of stuff you can cram into a two hour nap.)

But

I hear you - but the list changes. Today was a success because I managed to shower (at 4pm) and I left the house to post the birth announcements (10 weeks after she was born!) My lists aren't necessarily smaller but my expectation of how much I expect to get done in a day has!

I can completely relate to this.

I thought once I started my maternity leave I’d accomplice all kinds of wifely and mommy-to-be stuff and it just didn’t happen. I didn’t think I’d want to be bothered with work questions but I LOVED it and still do.

I thought that when the baby came we’d get on a nice schedule and my house would be spotless, I’d have dinner ready every night

I think, if ever there was anyone to be able to roll with the punches, it will be you.

Thinking of you as I brace for my own series of adjustments. It is daunting, isn't it?

2009-10-27T19:58:22.948-07:00

Now I just have to laugh, because your project management skills will either help you tremendously, or it will drive you completely crazy when you can't work out a schedule because the baby won't let you. I hope it's the former...

I bet you'll look back on this time and everything you're feeling now, once your baby has arrived, and laugh. I did.
