[quote=Anonymous]Not sure why so many posters are being such jerks, but I think it's great that you have so much time with your new baby. My advice is to think of some things you might like to do, but be prepared to adjust on the fly. Some babies are easier than others. You don't want to spend that first year feeling bad because it doesn't go according to plan. Most things with kids don't go to plan. (LOl!) One thing I really enjoyed as a new mom was reading during feeds and late-night wake-ups. Before the baby came I mostly read non-fiction for work. It was great to have the time to rediscover reading for pleasure again. I never thought I'd like to read this way either, but I have learned to love reading on my phone. It's so convenient during feeds or when the baby falls asleep on you. Download the Libby app from the library if you haven't already.[/quote]
