I've been thinking lately that it seems like I've been losing a little bit of "me." When we got engaged, I was obsessed with everything wedding related, and it seemed like my whole world revolved around that in one way or the other. Since we started debating when to TTC and now through pregnancy, it seems like TTC, pregnancy, parenting, etc. is all I read about, think about, etc. It kind of bothers me to think that I sort of lose myself a little when I'm in a new "big" phase of life. It worries me a little since, unlike wedding planning, parenting doesn't have an expiration date where you refocus yourself on your goals, hobbies, etc.

Do you tend to get so consumed in a stage that you forget about other hobbies, etc.? How do you refocus yourself so that you do a good job as a parent, etc., but still keep your own interests part of your life?
