It's a couple of months away but it's really helping me to have something to look forward to that's not TTC-related.
1. Ten more sleeps until I see my sister! 2. Having a reliable washer & drier for clean clothes. 3. My naughty little kitty-kitty. 4. The joy my puppy gets from going on a car ride to get ice cream. 5. Insurance covering my monitoring U/S (so far, so good!). 6. Sunsets. 7.

1. My amazing husband who is working so hard on being calm with me this cycle 2. A good job with flexibility 3. Shows to binge watch 4. This board because I would be insane without it. This fertility journey has been both discouraging and arduous. Coming here every day and seeing others who are going through the same thing makes it seem less so. Thank you everyone for being so supportive. 5. Honest, reliable, and competent electricians 6. Being in my 30s. It's so great. 7. My dog who makes me laugh every day. 8. Late night phone calls with my Mom when I cannot stop crying. 9. Great books to read all of the time 10. Amazon shipping.
People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

@offtoneverland YES! We used a gift card from the holidays to order seasons 3&4 of Black Sails. I'm so excited! Should be here this week What is "Dear Evan Hansen?" It sounds like a comedy show...
@suzycupcake I feel the same way...this board has become my saving grace at times. I love you ladies so so much
@jrm_14 I just love your whole list. I think I need a kitty picture, or one of the pup on one of these outings
I love all of these lists ladies! Especially @lurvleybunchococonuts with her poop one! Can't underestimate the feeling of a good poop!
@josie12367 Yay for some new TV shows to watch! MH watched Black Sails and really liked it. Dear Evan Hansen is a Broadway musical. It won the Tony award for best musical last year. @jrm_14 Hope you have so much fun with your sister! I agree with josie that we need a pic of your puppy going to get ice cream.
