Re: S/O new year's res: what did you do in 2013?

  • I finally stopped biting my nails. I'm 33 and have been a lifelong nail biter. Like, down to the quick.
    I realized I probably learned that from my mom, also a nail biter. And that I didn't want Molly to learn it from me.
    I quit in July and grew them out to the point where, in November, they were long enough to get a manicure (yes, they wre so short it took FOUR MONTHS to grow them out).
    Other stuff: I got a new job, and left my old safety net. :) and I lost 15 lbs (but gained 5 back, so my plan is to lose that again in 2014!)

  • My resolution was to be better about flossing and to go to the dentist (I hadn't been in an embarrassingly long time! It's so awful, I know!) I went and the dentist was raving about me never having had a cavity and my excellent oral hygiene!
    TTC in 2009, Dx: Unexplained IF
    Three TI cycles (BFP...miscarriage), five IUI attempts and 2.5 IVF cycles later...BFP!!
    12dp5dt: 765; 15dp5dt: 1979; 17dp5dt: 3379...TWINS!!!!!
    Our perfect baby boys were born at 36w1d!!

  • I wanted to lose weight without madly obsessing and I've managed that.  I also wanted to start eating together as a family at the dining room table more nights than not and we have been doing that.

    Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.
