Everyone is talking about new year resolution, I have not been thinking of my new year resolution these few years, and this year, my resolution will be -- learn to be a good mother. I am 8 month pregnant now, and I am going to see my baby in February this year. This is the first time I become a mother, and I have not take care of any babies before, there will be lots of things for me to learn. Learning how to take care of my baby, learning how to educate him too. I am now reading stories and talking to him always, and also having cheerful mood always, so that my baby will be happy and cheerful always. What is your new year resolution for this year?

Well, as per usual I have a thousand and one news years resolutions like I do every year! Firstly, I want to lose weight and stop smoking...again! Secondly, I want to make my marriage work. We have had a lot of problems over the last 2 years that we have been married but I really want to make it work now. (Keep your fingers crossed for me!) Thirdly, I want to do my nail extension course that I have been saying I'm going to do for about four years! I'm actually going to get it started this year hopefully! I think thats about it for my news years resolutions, if I think of any more they will have to wait until next year!

I am so happy for you dear friend and hope that all will go smoothly for you. Read some good books, take advice but listen to your own mind too. I am glad that you are talking to the baby as he can hear your voice and will know it. This is a wonderful time for you. May our Lord bless you and give you a safe delivery and shower His blessings on you and your baby. Blessings

Wow! Congratulation kaka135, that is very good gift you can have this year. Wish i can have mine. Anyways, about your question, new year resolution is done every new year and i haven't got one from the last years. I remember i had new years resolution many years back and didn't happen so this year i may have one and that is to watch out for my health. I will be eating healthy foods this year and that i will avoid unhealthy foods. I will try to be more optimistic too and avoid to be annoyed. As much as possible i will try to keep my temper in control. I will have more patience and i will work hard this year. Phew! actually a lot of things to change this year for self betterment and also the people around me as well.

2009 is a very special year for me. It is a milestone for me. I have made a plan for this year, and I have a lot of thing to finish in the very year. If all things go in the right way, i think I can get my degree in time and I am sure I will find a good job in the next two years. But if I can not make it, I have to change my time table of my life, to make sure I can start my own career or business in a right time.

Being always cheerful during pregnancy is very important as a Cheerful and Happy mother will always have a cheerful baby. Atleast that was my experience. My second born always has a smile on her face!

first of all congratulations! since you are going to be the mother for the first time then just be prepared mentally to handle all those responsibility that will come in bundle with this happiness.read as many story books as you can because ultimately you are the one whos going to tell him the stories to bed. then learn all the tricks and fraks to keep the baby. because no body will like to have a cry baby at home. learn to change the nappies . even at nights you have to do that. learn to prepare food for the baby. there are so many tasks for you. i think you will have busy schedule ahead. good luck and happy new year...:)

Hello my friend kaka135 Ji, Congretulations. Becoming mother is a great feeling in itself, and as you have determined, I understand taht you are very serious about your duties. By the way, i suggest taht you register freely with babycentre.com for all types of information/education/parenting issues. It is quite helpful. Now that you are on the final launch, you prepare a hand bag with all essentials required at the hospital, think of names for your child, and many more. may god bless you and have a great time.

Congratulates on you! I believe that to become a good mother is most women's dream and target.I have not married,but i like children very much. I fortunately to take care my niece with my older brother last ten months.(From she was born last ten months old)And i learn a lot from it.I surprised to see that the child from couldn't make any expressions to laugh loudly when she had watched cute pictures or listened strong voices. Anyway,the time lived with her was so happy.One month ago, i retumned to my hometown myself. I missed her very much.

This year I've decided what my new year resolution will be.. it's not to make any because like every other year I try and it never seems to work. I feel that I'm setting myself up for failure. One year I tried not to make one and that one year I didn't, it was a really great year for me so I"m going to do the same this year. have a great night and good luck with yours
