Thankful

Words cannot express how truly thankful I am to be where I am today. Last year at this time, I was in the deepest darkest place I have ever ever ever been. We were getting ready to give it our last shot. We were throwing in every last penny of savings, every ounce of hope, and it was a make it or break it deal. I have no idea where I would be this year had IVF #3 not brought us our pair of miracles. I just know things wouldn't have been good, I was no longer strong enough to move forward.

I am thankful for so very much this Thanksgiving. My fantastic husband, my beautiful and healthy sons, my family, my dogs, our jobs, our home, and our future. I am finally excited looking to the future because I know it holds so many fantastic memories to be made.

With this thankful attitude, I am sad. I am sad for those of your still on your journey. Sometimes I don't want to glamorize how wonderful it is to be a Mother because I know how much some of you are hurting (although, I probably lost many of those readers awhile back.) If you are still on your journey, please know I think of you, and I know how hard it is, and know that dreams can come true... and... they might come true, times two.

Happy Thanksgiving!
