April

My April update is 3 weeks late, but this is the first chance I've really had to go through everything and write about it.

Exercise: I was within 6 weeks of delivery throughout April, and I told myself I was not going to keep track of exercise during that time, simply because I wasn't supposed to be exercising. However, I did go for walks a couple times on most weeks.

Reading: I read a couple more books in April, which brings me to a total of 8 fiction books and still 4 non-fiction/ebooks. I got a little behind with my Bible reading while I was in the hospital and immediately after we came home, but I eventually caught up. I have been reading a lot in the middle of the night while I am nursing, but I don't get much time during the day or even at night before I go to bed.

Writing: I wrote in my blog almost every week, starting the week after Felix was born. The week he was born, I started on his birth story but didn't finish it for another couple of weeks. Again, I haven't written in my travel blog or my music therapy blog lately, so that is definitely something I would like to increase when I go back to work.

MT Business: I am not doing anything with this while on maternity leave, so I will pick back up with it once I go back to work!

House Projects: I'm pretty sure I did nothing in this area, either...oops!

Finances: We were able to save right about what our monthly savings goal is for this month, but probably only because we hadn't gotten too many medical bills at that point...We have been doing fairly well with eating out and only spent a little more than half our budget for groceries and toiletries. This was due to people bringing us food and us not being able to get to the store as often. It was nice having somewhat of a stockpile on some things so that we didn't have to worry so much about shopping for things we needed during the month of April.

Looking at what I've written, it looks like I didn't do much of anything

. I guess that's how it's supposed to be right after you have a baby, though! We spent most of our time adjusting to life with 2 kids, one more demanding than the other (guess which one is which!)

This one....
