As we deal with the issues that have brought us all together here we should try our darnedest to have as positive an outlook on other aspects of our lives as we can.

That said...take a minute to think about and share with us what you are thankful for.

Post as many as you like, as often as you'd like. This is our "Gratitude Journal" thread.

I'm grateful for my wonderful, FABULOUS husband and our funny crazy life together with our beautiful doggies.

I am grateful for my grandmother's generosity and thus her financial support for our IVF cycle. I wouldn't be here without her.
I am grateful to work for a small family owned company that is allowing me to work any schedule I set so that I can be off for my appointments and it not affect my paycheck. (I start working 7:30-5:30 from now until after my egg transfer)
I'm grateful for a husband who makes me laugh even when I may not think it's appropriate. His comic relief really does help more often then not.
I'm grateful for the friends I've made on this site who continue to support me every day and who really know why I'm here, what I'm going through and that I have the opportunity to help support and lift them up as well.

I'm thankful for my wonderful husband and parents.

I'm thankful that I'm in a wonderful trusting marriage.

I'm thankful for living in a time where the inability to conceive naturally doesn't necessarily mean I'll never have a baby of my own.

Good One!!!!

I am thankful for my incredibly supportive mom! I feel like I would have died from all of this if not for her. She has helped me emotionally, financially, and with tons of the research needed to get the point I am at now.

Also, thankful for my great DH who keeps me laughing every day.

I am also thankful that I live in a time where there is ART (stole this one, but it's so true).

I am grateful for my Mother, she is my shoulder to cry on, my best friend and my shopping buddy!!
I am thankful that I have God in my life, I know that without him nothing would be possible.
I am thankful for the internet that has brought all of you to my life! I love you all so much and absolutely LOVE getting on here and seeing 's and sad things too where I can jump in and try to help or know that I am not alone!
Lastly I am grateful for my dogs and neighbors, they all love me and make each day special! They the dogs, never give up on me even when I am on the couch crying they lick my face and love me, and my neighbor is so supportive!

This experience has really opened up my eyes to all the things that I am blessed with.
My husband is amazing and he is truly my soul mate. I prayed for him and God answered so quickly.
I am grateful for his support, understanding, not always funny humor, and all the love he shares with me.
I am grateful for my parents who give so much of themselves because they want my DH and I to experience the happiness that they have.
I am grateful for my awful job because without it I wouldn't have the insurance to pay for any of this.
I am grateful for my friends who even though they really don't understand what I am going through, they still know how badly I want to be a mommy and they want this to happen for me and my DH.
I am grateful for the support I get when I come to this site. It feels so good to have an outlet.
Baby Blessings to you all!!!!!

I am thankful for many things ... I am thankful for my wonderful DH. He is truly the other part of my heart and soul. I am thankful for my family, yes that even means my MIL .. she is truly a wonderful person and not at all like the monsters in law that people imagine MIL's to be. I am thankful for my friends who are there for me to rant and rave to or are there to lend me a shoulder to cry on. I am thankful to my 2 babies Sasha and Mischief who always seem to know when I need a cuddle and to hear their reassuring purrrr's! I am also grateful for this forum .. somewhere to go to get good advice and to talk to other people just like me! You guys are the best!! to everyone!

You know as well as I on how IF can bring our spirits down. But when looking at the bigger picture I think we're all blessed in some way or another.

Im so thankful for my high school sweet heart DH..We've been thru our ups and downs and some how have managed to stay married for over 7 yrs. I feel blessed to have this man in my life. Our wedding song was " Keeper of the Stars" by Tracy Bird ... to this day I can't listen to that song without crying.

Im also blessed to have a great family. My in-laws are wonderful (for the most part) MIL can be alittle nosey.. lol ... but shes great.

I am grateful to have a great dh and a happy marriage. I am also grateful to have made it through so much in my life and still have a positive attitude most days. I am grateful to have such a great in-law family. Dh's father, step-mother, and 3 step-sisters have done so much for us and helped us through some really rotten times. Lastly I am grateful to be blessed with 4 wonderful nieces! They are so different and unique, it amazes me everyday!

I am thankful to be home, on my sofa with my hubinator and both or babies. Even though it sucks that I'm not pregnant...I can truly see all the blessings in my life and for that...I'm grateful!

(Oh...and I'm grateful for this REALLY fabulous purse and belt I found today. Just DELIGHTFUL! LOL! I know...I'm too stoopit!)
