We both totally procrastinate on doctors appts. We both need to go to the dermatologist as well and get all our birthmarks checked out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2016-goals#post-2438681 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 11:12:06 +0000 Jess1483 2438681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just bought a house, and I'm pretty psyched that I have everything unpacked and organized two weeks after moving in. I'd like to keep it that way, so I divided the house into 12 "sections" and will organize/deep clean/etc one of the sections each month. I'm really, really hoping to keep this up, so I never feel like I need to clean everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2016-goals#post-2438677 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 11:08:52 +0000 Greentea 2438677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: isn't it so hard to take care of med issues? It is for me! Obviously we do for LO, but when it comes to DH and I we put things off. I just loathe appointments, especially dental! I need to get on the wagon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2016-goals#post-2438675 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 11:07:15 +0000 Greentea 2438675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot!</p> <p>Build my resume<br /> Get ready for bebe<br /> Adjust to baby<br /> Lose baby weight and be active<br /> Save<br /> Survive</p> <p>We are having a wild year already, so mostly organizing and cleaning for the bebe, then adjusting and surviving!

I am getting ready to end maternity leave and that will mean going from seeing DS all day long everyday to an hour in the morning and an hour at night. :'( Therefore, I need to be STRONG about saying no to excessive community involvement, extra things at work, committees, and social plans. I was almost never home pre-baby so this is going to be difficult for me. But it's the only way I can preserve some of my free time to be with my baby!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2016-goals#post-2438661 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 10:57:44 +0000 youboots 2438661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: I'd love to see your photos.
