It's September, can you believe it? Only four months left in 2009! What are your September Resolutions...things you'd like to accomplish before we ring in 2010?

Not lose weight but eat more healthy. I've been buying organic foods and eating low fat. I'm in the process of becoming a GREEN mom. I've bought 40+ cloth diapers(the cute ones, cloth diaper wipes, using better household cleaners, recycling more. I'm not out to save the planet but I like the things I'm doing.

Good for you, Brynn! I'm not as green, but I've been trying to do little things to really help in that area.

Me? LOSE WEIGHT! I've been fighting this for months and this time, I'm seeing a nutritionist to help do it healthy and in TTC mode. I hope losing 10 pounds or so in September will boost chances for a BFP. It can't hurt. I'm about 50 pounds overweight (at 6'1" tall)...

Hmm let's see. I think it's to get back into yoga like I was. Since the brain surgery I've been out of commission. Now I want to get back even if it's just gentle/restorative!

I have a few:

1. Lose some weight before my IVF...some means around 10 pounds or so...

2. Finish my Christmas shopping early!

3. GET PREGNANT...duh!!! haha

I started a resolution in August which may sound strange: to return all phonecalls right away. I have phone anxiety issues and I'm a procrastinator so I always put things off. So for the past two weeks i have worked very hard to return ALL messages, even the unpleasant ones, soon as I get it... same with email.

I also bought a membership at the local YMCA so I need to continue to actually go there. I want to get in shape before getting pregnant.

Omg Natalie...I have phone anxiety too. I don't know why...HATE answering the phone, making calls...totally irrational I know but it's there.

[KMH]

That is a really great idea, Natalie. I don't have the anxiety, but I am definitely a procrastinator!!

My main goals are all health related...I want to be as healthy as possible for the IVF and hopefully the pregnancy that follows. I totally quit caffeine this past week, and have been trying to eat more vegetables and fruits.

My other goal is also IVF related...I want to make a really cool scrapbook of our IVF process. I want to take lots of pics (of meds, us at the retrieval, our embies, etc.) and put it together so that someday we can show our kids the process of how they were made, and how much we wanted them in our lives. I'm not normally a scrapbooker, but I'm going to give it a try. I figure it will give me something to do to take my mind off of the waiting.

Eat healthier and save money for IVF.

I've had it bad since I was a teenager. It's a LOT better than it used to be, but my gut reflex is still to put off returning phone calls and then just feeling anxious about it. :/

Save, Save, Save! We need money for IVF. I'm going to sit down with DH this month and figure out where we should and should not be spending. And hopefully in a few months we can look into IVF again.

Yes I can relate...I believe mine started in college. It ebbs and flows.

My goals are to get back into working out daily (finally started again Monday) and to get that BFP no matter what it takes!
