September

September is a wonderful month for so many reasons! Let me tell you about a few...

My daughter, son and mom (as well as many many friends) were all born in this fine month! I love celebrating my kids' birthdays! I think I overindulge them just a bit, but it is so worth it! They are just 6 days apart in September, so until they get older, they share a birthday party. We also make sure we celebrate on their actual birthday as well! I also decorate the house at the beginning of the month so we can celebrate all month long. 

Why are my kids' birthdays so important to me? Well, starting with my daughter, I was told it would be very difficult for me to have kids due to my PCOS. Amazingly, within a month of being told that, I was pregnant. And with my son, I was told it was nearly impossible for me to have more kids, so we gave up trying and then about 2 months after that, I was pregnant. Both kids shared the same due date and both kids came a just a bit early. So, each year, their birthdays are a big deal to me. The impossible became possible and I am so grateful to have these two precious kiddos!

September is also PCOS Awareness month. We share a month with Ovarian Cancer Awareness as women with PCOS have an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer. I am so happy to find that so many more people are involved in getting doctors to research PCOS. So many women have joined together to learn about PCOS and to make others aware of this condition. It's a great time of year to bring to light this disease and hope that more answers will be found in the near future. 

And lastly in my love in September, it's the month that officially bring fall in! I love everything pumpkin and apple. I can never wait to start wearing my boots and jeans! I think it's time for a pumpkin spice latte for me!

I with everyone a fabulous September!
