making a baby blanket

I may be crazy. I am crocheting a baby blanket. The only things I have successfully crocheted to date are a couple of head bands (the scarf was a big fail). But I decided to take on the baby blanket. Unfortunately I like instant gratification and this baby blanket is going to take forever but I cant wait to see the finished product. I told myself I need to crochet 2-4 lines a day (which takes about 30-40 minutes). If I do this it MAY be done by the time the baby arrives lol. I hope it turns out ok. it may be an unidentifiable shape but it will keep my baby warm :)
