Good morning! Several ladies have enjoyed the GTKY I posted in my buddy group, so I decided to make a separate post for everyone to enjoy! Feel free to use it to bump up your post count

Re: 5 Positive Things GTKY
1. My infinitely supportive husband, who always knows the right things to say and do, even when I'm unreasonably cranky.
2. My dear family and friends, who have spared me all those awful cliches about how things happen for a reason, etc. I am deeply grateful for their support and love over the last 6 weeks.
3. My job. While I may not love it every day, I am thankful that I work for an organization that values people over "the bottom line" and that I get to spend most of my time forging relationships with people who strive to make their communities better places.
4. My health. I may not be the fittest or strongest I could be, but I am grateful that I am free of any chronic or serious medical conditions. I don't even have to deal with food allergies!
5. My house is safe. Technically, it's not our house (we rent), but I am thankful that we're not in the flood zone. Already, thousands of people in our community have been displaced from their homes--and will remain that way for the next two months--because the river is flooding. We don't have to worry about moving our things, finding a place to stay, or dealing with water damage.
That felt good! Thanks for posting this!

My garden is blooming! It rained a lot last week and the flowers look great.
I hung a bird feeder last week and word must have spread because we have lots of customers, including a giant woodpecker who I love to watch!
I decided on a visit home in the fall for an event to support a dear friend and I can't wait.
I love our house. We have finished a bunch of long term projects and I love the way they turned out.
My husband is amazing. During a party on Saturday, he would come over periodically and check in with me and make sure I was doing all right. He really shouldn't need to do that three months after our loss, but he does and he is really my rock of strength.
1. My wonderful husband
2. My health and the health of my family
3. Close friends who are supportive
4. My new job
5. The coke zero and pretzels that I am snacking on at the moment

I love this post!
1) My wonderful husband who loves my crazy a$$ unconditionally!
2) My little sister who has been sensitive throughout all 3 of my losses.
3) My precious nephew who gives me hope that some day I can give him a little cousin.
4) Our new home is a blessing and has provided us the relief we so desperately needed.
5) My overall health. I know I need to take better care of myself and I'm grateful my body has been receptive to shedding a few pounds while I try to become more active.

BFP #4 - EDD 12/09/12, Lucille arrived 11/26/12
1. For my loving and supportive husband. Without him, I don't know where I would be throughout my TTC journey.
2. Having the opportunity to buy the apartment duplex that we live in and to be able to turn it to a single family house.
3. That I have a job during the recession.
4. Having great neighbors.
5. For having a nook because I'm saving some space in my house!
Because of the great "Snow"vember of 2015, my medicated cycle was cancelled. However, we were blessed with our little rainbow baby due on 8/14/15! Baby J had other plans and decided to make his grand ole entrance on 7/4/2015!
Surprise! Our little girl entered this world on 12/8/2016 after her eviction notice was long past due. Our little turkey baby turned into a snow baby!
Agreed! I was so excited to see the circular yesterday! Plus...with all the reward bucks I'll be getting from the deals, I'm going to get a discount on preseed. Yessss!
Great idea!
1. Summertime!! Being a teacher is fabulous because of June, July, and August!!!
Now I have more time to get to know the Bump ladies who it's been really great reading about as I have been lurking/posting a little the past month or so.
2. My Honey. DH has needed some time understanding my grief and female emotions as we've been going through all of this, but he seems to get it now. He is the rock I have needed to keep me grounded through all of this. Also, the more we hang around our friends who have children, the more I know he is ready for one of our own. I can see that (even though he may not always show it) he is feeling a lot of the same things I do. Even though I knew it before, I know without a doubt now that is going to be a wonderful daddy to our children.
3. Family! DH and I had a really nice weekend hanging out with our parents and some extended family that live out of town.
4. My best friend, who even though she has recently had a baby of her own, has been so supportive and caring through our 3 m/c's the past year. I would definitely have lost my mind without another woman close-by to talk to. Her daughter is one of the few that I can love on and play with without getting emotional.
5. Vacation to the beach. In less than a month, DH and I are headed to the OBX for a much-needed get-away! We normally go with a bunch of our friends, but this year it's just the two of us. Who knows? Maybe this will be the week the stars align, and God grants us a successful conception! (Not sure when I'll be O'ing yet because my cycles aren't regular yet.)
1. My son. He's loving, smart, and interesting. Also so much fun. He makes everything better, and I'm a better person because of him.
2. My husband. He's a rock. He's always so calm, rational, and patient.
3. My access to healthcare. Even despite everything that is going on with my body, I know how lucky I am to even have access to any healthcare, much less such good facilities and attentive doctors. It always makes me sad when I think of all of the people who have to go without.
4. My parents. They can be frustrating, but they're healthy and happy.
5. Our jobs. DH & I both do what we love and make a comfortable living doing it.
I'm having a really rough week and it's only Monday. Thank you for starting this thread. Sometimes I have to kick myself in the pants and remind myself of just how good I have it.
1. I finally jumped in to join you ladies
2. it is summer break, which as a teacher is 100 times better than it was growing up
3. My absolutely wonderful husband who is always there to support me in everything I do.
4. My 2 dogs. Seriously they know when I am sad and love to cuddle!
5. I have the house to myself again- we had a long weekend with family in town which was nice, but it's nice to not have to be hostess anymore!
1. My Dh and DDs
2. The wonderful massage I had this morning
3. My health
4. All of you for being here
5. 3 weeks until we start TTC (after waiting 6 months tta)
DD#1 9-4-04 *** DD#2 10-15-07
BFP#3 10-25-10 *EDD 7/1/11 * missed m/c @ 13w3d
BFP#4 7-30-11 *EDD 4/8/12 ~ DD#3 born 4/4/12
1. My DH- I love him so much and I love how he can always make me laugh, even when I'm feeling down.
2. My Health- This one is huge for me, because I had some health issues a few years ago and I was finally diagnosed with something called autonomic dysfunction. Basically my brain doesn't send the correct signals to my body, which can result in a variety of symptoms. Luckily I am doing really well right now, with the help of meds, but still have been feeling amazingly good and have had enough energy to do Wii Zumba almost every day, which has felt great!
3. My Job- I am a Kindergarten teacher and I really do love teaching and now that the year is almost over (3 1/2 more days with students!) it is amazing to see the academic/social/emotional growth my students have gone through from September to now. Plus the fact that I have off for summer break is pretty great too!
4. Our vacation- I am very thankful that DH and I are able to go to Florida for 2 weeks at the end of the month. We had hoped it would be a baby moon trip, but still hopeful it will be our last hurrah before kids trip.
5. TTCAL board- I was actually just thinking this before I saw this post, I haven't been here long but I feel like I already feel so at home on this board. Thank you ladies for being so supportive!!
1) my husband is on a temporary shore duty. I have just got 3 straight months with him. I know that doesnt sound like a lot but I have NEVER spent 3 months with him without him going away for at least a month
2) I love my puppies. they are amazing and super cute
3) I have an amazing hubby. he really is the most wonderful person I have ever met
4) I love my job at weight watchers. I dont make a lot of money but I love helping people
5) my nephew got erbs palsey from him birth and couldnt move his arm at all and recently he has been able to move it a little. Not a lot but I am so overjoyed
