Things to do in OKC
You all know I live in OKC, so I am not looking for touristy things to do.
However, I am looking for things to do while on maternity leave. Shops, outings, etc. Do you all still have get-togethers?
The extreme planner in me feels like putting together a tentative agenda for each week. She has more of a routine now.
Re: Things to do in OKC
Once a week, I try to do lunch with a friend. Thursdays my mom and I go shopping and eat lunch somewhere fun. We usually get a mani/pedi/brow wax and hit up Classen Curve, shop the mall, or run to Norman to campus corner/The Webb/Caymans/Kerns etc. depending on what either of us wants to get done.
Enroll her in a class at Gymboree once she's old enough. I bet they offer some evening classes for after you go back to work. I don't know when they begin them--I want to say around 3 months.
Honestly, I spent most of the first 3 months in my living room. I was overwhelmed with nursing, pumping, keeping him moderately happy, trying to figure out meals, and all of the other craziness that comes with a newborn.
Could you do some things for yourself while you have your time off work? Book a spa day? Grab some new things for work? Get a few new books for when the baby naps? I know that I'd want some time to relax before my regular routine started back. Maybe a family member could keep her for a couple hours while you did lunch with a friend or even your husband and browsed a bookstore for a while.
The next few weeks will fly, so I'd probably stay home as much as you can and enjoy relaxing and getting to know your daughter. I don't remember much from the first few months, and I really wished I would have just been in the moment and enjoyed it instead of constantly trying to occupy my time and mind with anything and everything.
