Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
I'm thankful for... (please add yours)
I thought it'd be a good idea to list some things we're thankful for today. These can be sincere or tongue-in-cheek, whatever you're feeling.
I'm thankful for...
-My H. This whole ordeal has really shown me what kind of man I married, and I'm so thankful for him.
-A safe, warm home.
-Abundant food. Especially pie. Yay, pie.
-Wine. Lots and lots of wine.
-That all my co-workers are post-menopausal, so I don't have to deal with any pregnancy or baby news from them.
Anyone else need to list some things, to remind ourselves all we have to be thankful for?
ETA: It was a HUGE oversight not to mention all of you. All the ladies on this board have helped me so, so much. Thanks for being here for me.

Re: I'm thankful for... (please add yours)
My DH, who I love more everyday.
My family's health.
Our new home, which is the one spot of joy in this horrible year.
Being back in Illinois, and close enough to see family whenever I want.
Our jobs - they may not be exactly what we want to be doing forever, but we are blessed to have two incomes and be able to pay our bills.
My nieces and nephew. I knew, in my head, that they are miracles but now I really know how true that is.

My husband- who is my everything
My dog Stella- who brings more joy into my life than I ever could have imagined.
Mostly I'm thankful for our health, the comfortable life we are able to live and I am thankful that we are able to recognize how lucky we are on all days of the year, not just thanksgiving.
I'm thankful for my DH. He has been absolutely fabulous in helping me through this and has truly put my needs before his own. I am also thankful that this process has brought us closer together.
I'm also very thankful for my family. They are such an important and special part of my life.
I'm also thankful for this board and TTCAL. They serve different purposes for me right now, but the support is great on both and that has truly made a difference in how I've lived these past few weeks. Thanks ladies!
Missed m/c 11.09 | Missed m/c 3.10 | We miss you & love you so.

My DH. He is an amazing and supportive man and I feel so blessed.
My dog! He is such a joy to us right now.
My friends and family who have done everything I needed and are still there to listen when I need them.
And vodka-which will be getting me through Christmas and my EDD til January.
I'm thankful for my family; especially my mom and sisters-who are really my rock through the tough time.
I'm thankful for my DBF, even though we have our issues and we're 4 hours apart at the moment, I know that he has my back through these tough times. I feel like the distance between us is now making us closer.
I'm also thankful for my dog...he's such a goof that even when I'm really low and upset he'll still do something to make me laugh.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, I hope this day is peaceful and full of good food!
This year I feel like I am really stretching.
-I am thankful for this board and the women here. If I didn't have you ladies I don't think that I would have anything at all.
-I am thankful for cat. Without her I would be alone 90% of the time.
-I am thankful for my Mom and nephew. I need them and they need me. My reason to keep going.
-And I am thankful for those moments alone where I don't need to be fake. I can feel and act the way I truly want to.
This is going to be one of the hardest holidays of the year. I know how much we are all hurting and wish that it would just go away already. for those of us who have to put on a happy face for others I wish you a happy happy thanksgiving and all the luck in the world. I hope that we all make it through and might even get an honest smile or laugh today. I love you ladies. My fingers are crossed for all of us
Thanks for posting this! I was thinking of doing the same thing. The last few days, I wasn't sure I'd be up for Thanksgiving. We decided to just stay home and do a dinner for two, but I've really enjoyed the cooking.
I'm thankful for:
-My husband. He is incredible. He's supportive and understanding, and he's my rock when I'm having a horrible day. He loves me for who I am, flaws and all. He makes me laugh, even when I'm sad, and he sweeps, mops, and vacuums- Thank God, because I hate doing floors.
-My family (parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles, cousins). Even though they live 6 hrs away, and I can't be with them on Thanksgiving, I'm thankful that I have them and that they are healthy and happy.
-Our dogs- they are crazy, and they provide so much joy and entertainment.
-Our brand new house. It's dirty right now, but I'm so happy I have a house to get dirty and to clean.
-My job- If I wasn't working, I really don't know how I would have gotten through this month. My students bring joy to my life every day, and they've helped me get through this ordeal.
-My husband's job- Even though he is working today, I'm thankful he's only working 8 hrs and not 10 or 12. I'm also thankful for the overtime pay he's getting today and tomorrow.
-Food- we have lots of wonderful food to eat today, including two wonderful pies that I didn't have to make (thank you HEB bakery).
-Cooking- I know, it kind of goes with food, but cooking is very therapeutic for me. It calms me down and takes my mind off of the bad things.
-Laundry- even though it's sitting hampers waiting to be washed and in baskets waiting for me to put away, it means I have clothes to wear, towels to dry off with, and blankets to stay warm. Oh, and I have a washer and dryer, and better yet, they are UPSTAIRS so I don't have to carry all my laundry up and down stairs.
- This message board- I don't think this one needs explanation.
- Wassail- it is in the crockpot right now, and it smells SO good.
What a great idea.
Obviously, DH. My best friend & source of greatest joy.
Our 3 wonderful kitties, who were so cute & playful today when I really needed it.
My boss for taking over my on-call shift today, then automatically giving me the rest of the weekend off when I called her back to tell her the bad news.
My family & ILs, for just being the super people they are.
Bumpies, for always listening & understanding!
And, finally, the ER doc & nurses who didn't for one second make me feel like some overreacting, hypochondriac first time mom when I came in with practically no symptoms but a "bad feeling" this morning. What amazing representatives of their field.
My DH
That my husband has the opportunity to fufill his dream to teach and coach
My cousin who is like a sister
My job in these hard economic times
My furbabies who bring me joy every single day
My parents and stepparents
My inlaws
This board without which I do not think I would cope as well
All the people that sent me messages telling me that they are praying for a baby for me and DH
my DH, who is my best friend, partner in crime, and my rock.
my family, who are crazy and funny and perfect in their imperfect way!
my friends, who always have the right thing to say, even when it's totally inappropriate and hilarious, and are always up for sushi or cocktails (now that I can have both again!)
our new puppy, Hula Pie, who finally gets to join our family next Saturday. We can't wait to let you distract us and occupy our time and our hearts!
my doctor, who cried with us when we couldn't find a heartbeat at our last appt,(after hearing it 2 weeks earlier) and who is optimistic and ready to hold our hands when we try again.
and last, but not least, for the ladies on this board. I may be new here, but I feel like our common bond will help me, and hopefully all of you, heal.
oh, and for pecan pie. I love pecan pie.
*My DH for being patient with me (and my tears) for these past months and more.
*My family for supporting me and understanding how hard this day is for me.
*My SIL who asked if I wanted to hold her baby boy, but did not push it when I declined.
*This amazing French wine, he he
*All you ladies helping be become a person again through all this.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Joining late but still thankful...
My husband who is the most amazing person in my life. How he can deal with the 1 year anniversary of his father's death, his mother's cancer, the loss of our baby and my craziness (in addition to regular life) is beyond me.
My mother who has been a surprising support to me in both the m/c and the in-law situation with illness.
The rest of my family who really are fantastic.
My friends who have done everything they can to help me out.
My job- making music with kids is the biggest joy in my life right now.
My voice and the fact that I am finally performing again.
Our finished basement which MH and I did entirely ourselves. It feels like the greatest accomplishment when we hang out down there.
This board.
The knowledge that somehow we will have a baby. Whether we are able to sustain a pregnancy or we adopt, we will have a baby in our lives one day.
