I was reading some random blog post on some blog last night and it was talking about all the things that she wished she would have done before she had a baby and one of them was that she should have slept and napped more. I’m not really sure what the point of that would be since you can’t stockpile sleep and you’d be extra tired if you went from getting 12 hours of sleep a night pre-baby to like 3 hour stretches post-baby you know? But it did get me thinking, is there anything you wished you would have done before you had kids (assuming you have them of course). Or is there anything you plan on doing before you have kids?
Other than traveling more, I don’t think there is anything I wish I would have done before we had L. We traveled as much as our budget and work scheduled allowed, but it’s never enough ;). I didn’t have any career goals I wanted to meet (well, I didn’t) or anything like that. I didn’t meet B until well after college, so I didn’t need to worry about finishing school. Had we waited for B to finish school, we’d still be waiting!
The blog (I can’t for the life of me remember which one it was) also mentioned spending more husband & wife time, alone time, etc. But like sleep, I feel like that’s not something you can stockpile. And honestly, had B and I spent every waking moment together before we had babies, we probably would have ended up hating each other and never had kids!
Now, tell me, is there anything you wish you would have done before kids? And if anyone knows how to stockpile sleep or alone time, please tell us your tricks!
