Happy Thanksgiving! This year, in spite of everything, I have a lot to be thankful for.
I’m thankful for my amazing husband who works hard every day and comes home and puts up with my crazy self. He is the glue that holds me together.
I’m thankful for my two sweet and cuddly pups. I couldn’t ask for better dogs. They put a smile on my face every single day.
I’m thankful for my job, money in the bank, and a roof over my head. I’m so grateful that we are able to buy the things we need and the things we want, especially when so many people are struggling. I’m thankful that we are able to give back to those in need.
I’m thankful that my dad’s PSA has dropped from 600 to 400. I’m thankful for the time I get to spend with him and the rest of my family.
I’m thankful for my health insurance that allows me to do my fertility treatments without worrying about breaking the bank.
I’m thankful for medical technology that helps keep my dad alive and is helping me to make a baby.
I’m thankful for the nurses who laugh, cry, and hold my hand on every step of this journey.
I’m thankful for my hard working little ovaries. Right now I’ve got several follicles (20, 20, 17, 16) that are ready for our double IUI Thursday and Friday.
I’m thankful for this little blog, and all that it has brought me — laughter, solace, release, and friendship. I’m thankful for all of you who read and support me.
I’m thankful for the life I live — the joy, the hardship, the everything.
What are you thankful for this year?
Wow that’s a lot of good follicles for your iui. I hope it goes well. Happy Thanksgiving to you!

I have so much to be thankful for, I made a list scheduled to be published tomorrow. I managed to find 100 things to be thankful for, everything from the silly to the deep.
Mainly, I am thankful for my mother who has been a constant support system to me in everything I do. And I’m thankful that my grandma is alive and has enough energy and stamina to cook Thanksgiving dinner this year. Last year, she was going through chemotherapy and says the holidays were just a blur for her. So I am so thankful she is here, healthy and will enjoy the holidays once again!

So much to be thankful for. I am most thankful for my family and friends and their health and love and support. I am a very positive person so no matter what is going on I feel blessed with everything.
I’ll be thinking more preggy thoughts for you this weekend. You are a strong person to keep up with it, it can’t be easy. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving, too!

So I’m just going to agree with her.

What a sweet post! I think it is important to look on the bright side of life, even though I sometimes have a hard time following my own advice.
This year, I am thankful for my family and the love they give me.

I’m thankful for a bunch, and laid it all out on my blog. But I wanted to mention that I’m thankful that you’ve shared your infertility journey with us. It helps those of us who are struggling know that there are others out there who understand.
