My Monthly Goals - March 2015 - #friendswithgoals

February was a quick one, wasn't it, friends? What sorts of things did you do or accomplish? I checked off a few items on my to-do list [including finishing taxes!!] as well as doing pretty darn well on my February Goals. We didn't get to save quite as much as we had hoped [goal was 80% of my part-time paycheck], because we took our car into the shop for a few issues, including the dreaded check-engine-light and shaking during gear changes. Anyways, I still count it as a victory that we were able to pay for those issues in "cash" to be resolved and get the tune-up that it needed before we put a new little baby in her car-seat :)

There is a lot to celebrate today, March 1st! Not only is it a new month, and my wonderful father-in-law's birthday, but it is also Ember's BIRTH MONTH! Little Ember will officially have a March birthday!

In light incorporating my Goals for the New Year a little each month, I have only a couple of goals this month. My New Year's Resolution #4 || Prioritize the best choices for me and my family - practice The Best Yes and #6 || Grow to thrive as a mom of two and a wife will be set in high gear!

March Goals:: 

1 || Mail out baby shower thank-you's!

I'm so excited to say, I finished writing these this morning! Now I just need to purchase stamps and pop them in the mail -- woohooo!

2 || Be patient and present in the waiting for Ember to arrive.

I'm 39 weeks today -- and I'm ready for baby, but I don't want to disregard or wish away the way things are now. *I appreciate your prayers on this!

3 || Trust the LORD Jesus in labor and birth, relying on the Spirit, and not my own strength!

I'm planning on home-birth #2, and pray that it will go well! I also pray that, should we have to transfer to the hospital that God will help me to accept and appreciate the care that is best for baby. 

4 || Balance our March family visitors well with our new baby

I can be a people-pleaser, but I know that this can have pitfalls. My goal is to know when to say, "no" and when to say, "yes"!
