September 2014 Goals

Some of these goals for September have already been completed, as they were helpful to do last weekend before we got back into the day-to-day school year schedule.  I look forward to getting more done.  Here's the paper calendar we keep on the refrigerator mentioned as #5 under "Family". This is also updated online.




Family
  1. Menu plan weekly - plan out healthy meals and keep eating out to a minimum 
  2. Organize Phoebe’s room before school starts this year - Phoebe actually did this herself! 
  3. Work with Phoebe daily on her organization this school year – both homework and activities 
  4. Keep the boys organized with school; make sure we understand what homework and activities they have with school 
  5. Keep the family calendar online and on paper up-to-date.   Did this yesterday! 
  6. Keep the boys signed up for sports with the YMCA - The boys are in soccer this fall. 
  7. Document/start chores for kids before school starts and make it fun! I didn't get this done before the school year, but I will get this done soon. Right now, we're trying to get into the new school schedule with everyone out the door early in the morning. The bus comes for all three kids at 6:45AM. 
Work/Career
  1. Learn new responsibilities and exceed expectations for the rest of this year 
  2. Blog 3-4x per week on this blog
Health and Fitness
  1. Begin working towards weight goal for year end
  2. Cardio 4x per week
  3. Drink 8 glasses of water a day
  4. Eat healthy – build default diet
Financial
  1. Keep our checkbook and online file up-to-date of expenses
  2. Look for reoccurring expenses and if some can be canceled
Home/Garden
  1. Declutter coat closets downstairs and setup launch pads for people to start their day right
  2. Organize boys bedroom/school clothes/closets - Completed this over last weekend!
  3. Begin decluttering the guest room so we would be able to begin painting during the fall
  4. Immediately – plan out garden seasonally and harvest/weed daily - I weeded and cleaned up the garden over the weekend.  Need to plant radishes and lettuces that will grow during the cooler fall weather and keep up with the weeding
Personal
  1. Begin learning basic conversational French
Fun, Recreation & Social
  1. Trip to Paris with Coni in Fall 2014?  This is also depending on what Coni can arrange
  2. Continue to meet up with friends 2x per month  - Already have two different Saturday nights setup.  Might have a third as well.
  3. Plan “Funday Sundays” in the fall – invite lots of fun people

I LOVE Funday Sundays - one day we're going to have another. Your and my family - just you wait and see. It might be somewhere else, but you wait :)

Love all the progress, Heather, and YAY to Phoebe!

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...

IVF#2 - It Worked!!!!

OK all my Internet bloggy friends!!!! I'm pregnant with the best initial beta I've ever had!!! Could that mean multiples? We'll find out over the next week or two for sure. My initial beta was 660! I can't believe it! I'm so excited I want to cry. I was so nervous. I didn't want to test before I went there because of all the hcg boosts I had. And I was really starting to doubt if it would really work out or if I was going to have a major disappointment today. I go back on Thursday for a repeat beta and we'll see if we're doubling or better. Leo made a prediction last night of twins. I wonder if he's right. Of course we just want at least one healthy baby, but healthy boy/girl twins would be like winning the lottery. Of course we'll want to win the lottery to support them, but I'm like Scarlett O'Hara in that perspective - "I'll think about that tomorrow!"
