Re: name something you vow you will NOT do once your LO arrives & you are hoping to stick to it
I will not curse... I will not curse.. I will not curse...I will not curse
I feel like if i keep saying it, it will sink in
And I will not take out my frustration & exhaustion on DH
Knowing me I am so going to do both of these within the first hour

Re: name something you vow you will NOT do once your LO arrives & you are hoping to stick to it
A few:
Mine is curse, I drop the "F Bomb" often, in fact it's one of my favorite words
Not ignore my dog  She is the love of my life right now and I heard from so many people "wait till the baby gets here, you wont even pay attention to the dog". I can't see me ever doing this, it's not my personality but I do hear it just happens.
Another one, give up my alone time with DH. I know at first it's not going to happen or I don't expect it to, but I really hope that will still do date nights once in a while and enjoy eachothers company like we always did.

I will not do what my SIL does and take vacations to GET AWAY from my child. Along the same lines, I will not scream at him/her at 2 years old when he/she is acting like a 2 year old.

My biggest one
I will NOT smoke again. I have not had a single craving for one the entire pregnancy & I hope it remains that way.

Re: name something you vow you will NOT do once your LO arrives & you are hoping to stick to it
I have to laugh about the cursing! I am not a huge "curser," but having kids will definitely bring that out. I remember on more than one occasion removing myself to the kitchen, entering my pantry, closing the door and repeating quietly, "STFU, STFU, STFU, STFU..." You just have to get creative. 
Otherwise, my sister had warned me never to bring the child into my bed unless I planned on keeping it up for years. I heeded that advice because I NEED my time--and almost as importantly--my me and DH time.
Beyond that...you just never know.

I will not use the whole "it took a year toput on this weight, it's ok to take up to a year to take the weight off" excuse to get back into shape!
I want to start getting back into shape as soon as the dr. says it is ok.

This is a big one for me too... I quit the day I found out I was pregnant, DH decided he wanted to quit too so he quit the next day... I'm terrified I will start again!!!

Re: name something you vow you will NOT do once your LO arrives & you are hoping to stick to it
I'm sure the Moms on the Parenting board love coming over and reading these things 
I hope to not lose complete patience with DH's family.
I hope to not let my germaphobe ways drive me to the looneybin.
I will not start co-sleeping.
I will sleep when baby sleeps!

Re: name something you vow you will NOT do once your LO arrives & you are hoping to stick to it
I will NOT allow my home to have an open door policy to visitors whether they are family or friends. I don't care how much or how badly you want to see my baby. With Abby, people pushed my limits and I swore up and down I'd never allow that to happen again.

Re: name something you vow you will NOT do once your LO arrives & you are hoping to stick to it
I will not get defensive when my Mom or MIL try to give me helpful advice.
I will not take out my frustrations on DH.
I will not give up on BF as hard as it may be.
I will not curse.
I will not be such a control freak and actually let people help me.

Re: name something you vow you will NOT do once your LO arrives & you are hoping to stick to it
become one of those couples who never does anything without the baby anymore. i.e. bringing them on double dates with childless couples, never sneaking away for a private dinner out or weekend, tagging along a screaming infant to someone's wedding...etc.

this one terrifies me!!! I am so scared people will always be over...and I just want to be able to figure things out!!
but I want to be sure to include my little Tinkerbell. She's been my baby for 6 years and my best bud so I don't want that to change. It would break my heart...
Accepting help? hmmm I know I'll need it but I also want to be able to figure out what works best for me...
I also need patience with my inlaws..they live 5 mins away and I need space..lol

Re: name something you vow you will NOT do once your LO arrives & you are hoping to stick to it
DH and I are adamant about never having the bably sleep in our bed. We will NOT! It's too hard to break them out of it. We are determined for the baby to learn to fall asleep by himself... I know this obviously doesn't happen right away but we are willing to put in the work to make it happen!

My biggest one is anxiety. I am going to try really hard not to be an obsessive worrier/hypochondriac. I dont want my DD turning out as crazy as I am
