Resolutions Revisited

Back in January 2013 I set a few New Years Resolutions.

• Finish my BYU class by April 1st (after I order an extension it will be due on May 3rd)
• Go to the doctor about the warts on my foot and get them removed
• Read The Book of Mormon
• Pick a pediatrician
• Have a baby
• Survive

I finished what will be my last BYU class (at least for the foreseeable future) back in March. After Emma was born I decided to order another class, but ended up withdrawing from it. I decided that right now there were other, more useful skills that I could be learning and using rather than continuing on with my Bachelors degree. It was really hard to make that choice, but now that I'm not facing the deadline of a class I find myself happier and less stressed out. I don't feel guilty now when I take a day and just spend it enjoying time with Emma--I don't feel like there is something hanging over my head. 

I read The Book of Mormon, finishing a few days before Emma was born. 

I picked a stellar pediatrician. I love love love her. Thanks Marissa for the recommendation. Dr B is the best! 

Emma was born. Right on her due date. While Dr S was in Mexico. 

And I'd say I survived. I may have a cold and be feeling a little lousy right now, but I definitely am alive! I have my days where I feel like a truck ran me over, especially when Emma had her ear infection, but I'm doing pretty good now that we're past that.

I even went to the doctor about the warts on my foot, but she didn't want to remove them til Emma was older. Something about my body needing more time after having a baby for hormones to level out, and that until they leveled out more the warts would probably just come back.

Stay tuned for the 2014 resolutions, once I figure out what they are :)
