[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember during the last month of my pregnancy I bought a bunch of books to read while on my maternity leave.

My mother asked me when I was going to read them, "when the baby is sleeping"

Three years later, we still laugh at that (and I have only read two of the books, sigh). [/quote]

My plans for my maternity leave were:

organize hundreds of pictures, print them and put them in photo albums
scrapbooking atleast twice a week
read 2 to 3 books a month

basically, I was going to catch up on all the tasks I didn't have time for, and yes I too was going to do all of this while the baby slept.....HAHAHAHAH!!![/quote]

LOL!  Me too!  I was always going to keep up with DC's baby book too. [b] 3 kids later - I think I have 3 empty baby books and a hard drive full of trapped photos. [/b] [/quote]

Yup, two kids with the empty baby books, about a thousand pictures that live nowhere but our computer and shutterfly, and two big boxes full of scrapbooking supplies.  My husband loves to talk about my scrapbooking hobby that never came to fruition.  [/quote]
