Welcoming the 'ber months

Tomorrow is 'ber day. The beginning of the last four months of the year (all ending in 'ber). My mom has always made a point of wishing everyone a "Happy 'ber Day!" and it's a tradition I plan to carry on myself.

September will be a month of planning and anticipation.

October will be a month of traveling for work, traveling for fun (going to Vegas to celebrate S's birthday! Woo!) and hosting a Halloween Trick-or-Treat party for all the little ones in my family.

November will mean going to South Carolina to see my brother graduate from boot camp, and, of course, Thanksgiving.

December? Christmas and New Year's, obvs.

Woven throughout all the coming festivities will be the constant one-foot-in-front-of-the-othering as we try, try, try to grow our family. It's a difficult balance when trying to fully embrace all that the 'ber months have to offer while having to constantly think about cycles, fertility treatments, what-ifs, and what-nexts. But balance is what I'm aiming for.

Happy (almost) 'ber day, everyone! What do the 'ber months have in store for you?
