August Goal Update and September Goals

Not too bad of results!

August Goals:

1. Blog for me! -  So far I haven't been forcing myself to blog and I feel a whole lot better about it, I blog about what I want to blog about and that's all.


2. Continue breastfeeding Alex -  3 months down!


3. Work on Alex's sleep schedule -  Well we definitely have a better nighttime schedule, he is still not ready for just 2 or 3 naps a day.  I can tell.  So we are making a conscious effort to take 4-5 naps a day and that has worked out.  Hoping this month we can work on that.


4. Feel good about my body -  I have started wearing some of my other clothes and I definitely feel a lot better about myself.  I have not really done much with exercise but I have about 6lbs more to go to pre-pregnancy weight.


5. Take more pictures with my camera - I have not done that great with this.  Sometimes the iPhone is just too handy and the camera is far away.


6. Carve out time for just the hubby and I once a week - Yikes, we haven't done the greatest job with this.  I was traveling and so was he so we didn't see one another a lot.  Hope that this month we can turn that around.

September Goals:

1. Make a home organization binder (and use it!) - I've seen some that I like in different locations, so I'm off to make my own.  I'll post about it when it's done.
2. Continue breastfeeding
3. Get ready/organized for work/daycare - I've got some things I'd like to order and paperwork to fill out.
4. Take more pictures with my camera - Since I haven't been doing that great, I thought I'd try again.
5. Carve out time for just the hubby and I once a week - This is important and something we need to do!

August Goals

So I thought it would be a good idea to set some monthly goals for myself and see how I did at the end of the month.

1. Blog for me! - I am struggling with blogging here because I don't want it to be all about Alex, but you know what, that's my life right now and that's what's going on, that's what I'm going to blog about, and hopefully I don't lose readers.


2. Continue breastfeeding Alex - So far this is going pretty well, but somedays it's a little frustrating. We've successfully gone 2 months and now we try for 3!


3. Work on Alex's sleep schedule - I'll post an update in his monthly post next week, but we've been working on night time sleeping this past week. A nap schedule is next on my list!


4. Feel good about my body - I've got about 8lbs left of baby weight to lose and would like to lose a little more, but really the number is not that important. It's about feeling good about my body and the way I look!


5. Take more pictures with my camera - So far I've taken a picture of Alex every day, but not all of them with the camera, some with the iPhone and I'd really like to take 1-day with the camera (and the iPhone too somedays!)


6. Carve out time for just the hubby and I once a week - We are working really hard on us time, but it doesn't always happen. I know it won't be easy, but at least once a week, I'd like us to have us time, whether it's just watching a movie, or going out to dinner (even if Alex is with us).

Whew, thats a lot! Let's see how I do!
