Last night DH was talking about signing up for softball this spring and basketball next year, and I told him to go ahead but I declined. I just don't know what life will look like post-baby and I feel like we're busy as is! His sports are minimal - 1 time a week, no practices really - so I didn't mind at all but I didn't want to commit and not show up.
So tell me... Did you keep up with your hobbies post-baby? Did you pick up any new ones? Drop any old ones?

My hobbies were art/crafting and going to the theater. At first I stopped everything completely. I just didn't have time. Any free time was spent sleeping or showering.
Now that lo is older I do art and craft during her naps and when she goes to bed. I don't go to the theater nearly as much, I used to go like every weekend and now it's just not a priority. I don't like leaving lo, so I have to love love love the show if I'm willing to leave her to see it.

i did after charlie -- i loved blogging and photography. but post two kids it's just impossible for me to keep up with any hobbies. maybe when they are a little older i can pick it up again!

I read so much less now! And I watch so much more tv. It's a bad combo, but it is what it is.

I have kept up with my hobbies, but I have to manage my time more closely and there is less time. My husband and I really make an effort to give each other dedicated free time each week so that we both have time to focus on our hobbies; or just have some down time to ourselves to read, etc.

i still knit but not as much. mostly because I usually did it at night and now it is prep for the next day + manage LO wake ups. Its ok though, babyhood is fleeting.

Not so much. I have crafted once since having the baby and haven't read much. I have just recently gotten back into my scrap room and will be doing a little bit in the coming weeks to make a gift for a friend. I really want to get started on her first year scrapbook, though!!

Yes, but far less. At 18 months I'm finding some time for some things. You're smart to not commit in advance - you may have a lot of time and energy, or you may not.
