Post partum care package

Is it bad that I'm putting one together for myself? Embarassed
I'm not going to get one from anyone and I know I'd like one when the "OMG, I'm a mother of 2 under 3" syndrome hits me.

So far I am thinking -
  • 2 Babysitters contact that I plan to use for 2hrs 2 days a week while I go out for a walk or gym or just for a nap.
  • 2 massage "memberships" at my chiropractor.
  • A new class or something to try. Maybe a Pottery class! Maybe I'll bug Shenaye again about introducing me to someone in Derby here so I can learn rollerskating! Or maybe I'll sign up for ballroom dancing classes again! (Thanks for the idea, Scotti)
  • One bar of handmade Soap by Becca that I'm not going to use until then.
  • Bath bomb/fizzies that I'll shop either from HC or get from the mall.
  • A picture of a good hairstyle that I'm going to use when its 3-4 months after baby, good weather and I want to feel good about myself.
  • Two of my favourite motivational books - "Wings of Fire" by Abdul Kalam and "The fastest Mile", I need that inspiration to done my running shoes again.
  • Subscription to non-parenting magazines. I'm thinking "Runners" and "Time" (or) "National Geographic".
What I would REALLY like -
a walking/gym buddy that I can go out with everyday or everyother day, someone I can be accountable for to get out of the house and do something productive in the fresh air.
Sigh - not going to find that someone.
