Well-Being Wednesday

Alright, ladies. We all know how stressful this TTC process can be. To counteract that feeling, let's talk about things for which you are grateful.

And.... Go!

BertieMeetsGertie · March 2017

I'm so grateful for my DH. He has a difficult, high stress job and he's still there to support me every day. I'm also beyond grateful that we have an almost 2 week vacation coming up very soon. We both love our jobs, but desperately need a break from reality.

Today, I am grateful that the puppy peed in the garage, and not on my living room carpet (it would only be about the 105th time...)
Haha, but in all seriousness. I am grateful that my SO is totally down for this ride with me, I've been on some form of birth control since I was 15... so having all these hormones is a roller coaster. On days that I'm cramping or irritable or whatever, he literally tells me "it's ok, I know it's your hormones and not you". Can I keep him forever?

I need this today. My 'well-being' is not where it should be. Today I am grateful that I have an acupuncture appt this afternoon.

ali_gator11 · March 2017

@laurad75 So sorry to hear your well-being isn't great. I'm right there with you.

Today I am grateful for being able to be self-sufficient at such a young age. I am only 25, married, with a kid and a house. Around here, that's unheard of. So, I'm tooting my own horn and patting myself on the back for being strong willed and successful so far

I am grateful that I get a day off in the middle of the week. It is so nice to have a break half-way through to relax, re-charge, do errands etc..

millpe · March 2017

This is an awesome topic @BertieMeetsGertie! Today I am thankful this is my last day of work before a 4 day weekend. I am also thankful for my DH for cooking me dinner last night even though it's something he wouldn't eat so I could get to the gym after work. And thankful I only gave two weeks left at this job! So much to be thankful for

@laurad75 enjoy that acupuncture appointment. I hope you're able to get into a positive mindset soon. I'm following you from the sidelines.

@AliW220 - I laughed and could connect with your dog one so hard. We're starting to go down a whole slew of tests for my puppy because she will. not. stop. peeing. on. everything. This dog pees SO MUCH.

Let's see. I mean, I feel like the obvious answer is H, who is amazeballs and I could go on and on about. I'm also thankful for my pups. They are the sweetest and just give so much love.

But I think I'll go with I'm thankful to live where I live. First of all, there is so much to do, and so much close by. Sports, art, culture, theater, history, it's got it all. Then it also has so much career wise - I love my job. But it's great to know that should something ever go bad with my job or I wanted to try something new, I live in a place that has tons of options. It's also a location that is close enough that we can see family, but no one is stopping by unannounced.

I'm thankful to have some friend time scheduled for Friday and a dinner with my mom and sister before that. I've been running on empty for a little while, so I'm hoping to get some good relaxing and fun in.

Thanks @BertieMeetsGertie for the great thread!

LaurenEG14 · March 2017

Great thread idea @bertiemeetsgertie! I am just very thankful for where I am at in my life. Of course I am so grateful for Dh. He is amazingly sweet and patient with me (and gorgeous). We both have great jobs, a house with a big yard in the perfect neighborhood, with awesome neighbors. We also have great friends and family. Not to mention a dog that pees outside (sorry @aliw220 and @tennis11785 lol). Of course there are a lot that I want that I do not have yet, but I am still young and feel blessed with what I have so far.

kmalls · March 2017

It's a cliche answer, but I'm truly thankful for DH more than ever this morning. I got a BFN and was really bummed, and he knew exactly how to pick me up. I'm thankful he's as invested in this process as I am. I'm thankful he goes off to work every morning without complaint, allowing me to stay at home and I *know* it kills him to leave. I'm thankful for the life we have and I'm thankful he's my partner in it.

Cricket648 · March 2017

@laurad75 @ali_gator11 I completely agree that this is totally what I need today. an-O is kicking my ass today!

I'm thankful for everything DH does. Right now he's working full time and going to school full time for his Master's, which I know is hard on him. I'm also thankful for some time to myself today. I'm about to get a cup of coffee and a giant pastry to drown my TTC sorrows in.

Thank you for getting this started @BertieMeetsGertie

vflux33 · March 2017

@laurad75 Enjoy the acupuncture! I'm thinking of getting started on that soon too. Easing stress is good.
@kmalls sorry for the BFN

I'm going to jump on the (cheesy but true) grateful for MH train because he is really stressed and freaked out about IF and his job and life but he's still been helping rub the stress knots out of my upper back every night for the last week to help me chill out because he's awesome. I'm also grateful for where I live. It could be cheaper or closer to family, but it is seriously gorgeous this time of year and I'm digging it.

Pinky917 · March 2017

First, I am grateful for where I am in life right now. If someone would have told me when I was younger that this is what my life would be in the future I do not think I would have believed them. Now I will continue the trend, because I do have to thank DH for helping get me to this point. He has always been so supportive and has really helped me to get through some really tough times that I don't think I would have been able to handle on my own. Finally, and this is where it gets really cheesy , I am also grateful for the place I have found in this community. This is a rough process, and I am so happy that I have allowed myself to open up to such a wonderful, caring, and knowledgeable group of women who are experiencing this in real time as well. I may stay quiet around here sometimes, but I do hope you all know how much I appreciate this whole group. I can't imagine having to make it through this journey without you ladies, so thank you.

And now here I go, tearing up at my desk for the second time today

eggplantface · March 2017

I'm thankful for my dogs. Rubbing their bellies is an instant de-stresser.

breezybee · March 2017

I'm thankful for my new found desire to be a bigger part of my little brothers life. We've always kind of done our own thing, but as we're getting older, I really want to make a point to get together once a month and do something. Last night we went to dinner with my husband and my brother's girlfriend and it was so fun. They're definitely going to get married and I absolutely love her and want us all to be around for the big milestones that will come over the years. Cheesy, but that's what I'm thankful for today.
Also my husband, because he makes me coffee every morning and reads emails in bed with me while we drink it
