So Much to Do, Too Little Time

With a baby on the way, I feel that there are still so many things I want to do before he's born and yet not enough time for me to get through them all... All I've been hearing are comments about how my life is going to change once he's born and how busy and tired I'll be. I guess it makes it all seem quite daunting to think that every other project I've started will end up being dropped or sidelined for this new man in my life.

When I look back at all the half completed projects I'm working on, I feel a pang regret that I might have to drop them. As I progress steadily through this pregnancy, there are suddenly even more things I have yet to get through. For instance, I started listening to Chinese Pod because I felt I needed to learn at least one dialect and that it would help me encourage the little one to be multi-lingual. Now that the baby is almost here and we are getting a new maid who is Indonesian, my need to learn how to speak Malay becomes even more critical.

Sometimes I fear that I'm trying to do too many things and will only end up with a mediocre result or worst still - achieving nothing by the time the baby is born.
