1. Exercise: I actually did pretty well in March. The weather was kind of back and forth but I really tried to do as much walking as possible. Mostly this was to try to induce labor, but it counts!
2. Reading: I think this slowed down a little. At the end of March, I believe I had read 5 books and 4 e-books. I also think I had started on the sixth book but hadn't quite finished it. The Bible reading ensued as well!
3. Writing: I wrote several blog posts during March and did one at least once a week. They were mostly all on this blog, so I need to step it up on the others at some point.
4. MT Business: I really did nothing new with my business, simply because I was in survival mode until the baby came. I worked hard to keep up with all my billing as closely as possible so I wouldn't have as much to do after Felix arrived. I also worked out a few things for some of the coverage I had planned for while I was gone.
5. House Projects: I went through a few drawers and other things during March, but that was about all I had time for. Most of our time was spent getting things set up for Felix.
6. Finances: Thanks to our tax return, we were able to save a ton of money this month! That being said, I don't know what our hospital bills will be this time around, so hopefully we won't be pulling all of it right back out.
We did pretty well with eating out and were able to stay under budget, and we also came out a little over $100 under budget with our groceries and toiletries, so I was pretty happy with that.
7. Miscellaneous: By the end of March, we had 16 meals frozen in the freezer. I figured we would just keep cooking until Felix arrived. At least it gave me something to do!
We also spent a lot of time working on getting things together for Baby Felix. I also tried my best to get a nap on days I didn't work, just in case we went into labor. Another thing I tried to do was spend as much time with Anya as I could since I knew things would change after he was born. One morning we spent fingerpainting:
One afternoon, I took her to get our nails done and out for ice cream. Hopefully, we can do that again soon!
