I am thankful for the amazing amount of support I have received from my family and friends for the 5K I am doing this weekend to help families OVERCOME infertility.
I am thankful I have my own office that I can decorate and isolate myself in because of my insane co-workers.

So thankful that tomorrow I get to witness two little boys' faces when they see Magic Kingdom for the first time
When I was there two years ago, I had just found out that IVF #3 had just failed (c/p) and didn't believe that this day will ever come for me. I remember standing on Main St USA watching all the families streaming by me and bawling my eyes out.
So so so grateful for the life I have and thinking of all my IF sisters still fighting the good fight.
4 Fresh IVF cycles + 1 FET where embies didn't survive the thaw = 2 perfect little men!
sFET 11/9/11 - Beta 11/18 BFP!
I'm so, so thankful for my new job! Even though I haven't started yet, I've been in contact with my new office and my new boss often and I'm in love already. This job is just so perfect for me! I can't wait to start!
TI, IUIs, IVF = c/ps and BFNs
I'm thankful for you ladies
I was also thinking just the other day how thankful I am that we live near and can afford to buy fresh food. There are so many people without transportation that don't live anywhere near a grocery store or if they do, there's little to no fresh produce so they have to buy overpriced, processed crap.
I'm thankful I have a job where I can work from home when I'm sick instead of taking PTO or having to come to the office and infect everyone else. I think more employers should make it easier for people to work from home. It would save a lot of overhead costs as well as fuel costs for employees (I know this isn't practical for everyone depending on their occupation though).
Me: 32 - Stage II Endo / DH: 36 - Low count and morphology (1%)
IUIs 1-3 BFN, lap Dec. 2010, IUIs 4-6 BFN
IVF w/ICSI #1 - ER 2/8: 24R 19M 9F ET 2/13 2-5 day blasts (no frosties) = BFP - b/g twins!
E & C Born 10/19/2012
That must be an amazing feeling! Have fun

Thankful that we have options that I didn't think we did.
Thankful that my 5 month old nephew is ok after a fractured skull.
*I am thankful for my health - I had 2 people tell me this week that they have myeloma. Hearing this seems to put everything into perspective.
*I am thankful for my job
*And like DW above, I am thankful for my office and door that I can shut to keep the loco people out!
Moving forward with Adoption 2017!
