1. Having family close by. I know not everyone lives near their family (or has a close relationship) so I’m really thankful my mom can help pick my toddler up from daycare 3-4 days a week.
2. Ice cream. Because ice cream.
3. Hugs and sloppy kisses from my toddler.
4. My husband...and yes, I realize ice cream is listed first.
5. 200mg of caffeine.
6. TSA pre-check. I have to travel fairly frequently for work.
7. A comfy bed. I could spend all day in bed.
8. My phone. It’s the best when I can’t sleep.
9. Friends that make me laugh.
10. My BMB. Other than my husband, no one else knows I’m pregnant. So it’s great to have people to celebrate and commiserate with!

1. DH, who has been so incredibly supportive throughout two years of infertility treatments and now early pregnancy. 2. The miracle of IVF. We went from 16 eggs retrieved down to one embryo who survived all odds and stuck in there (literally). 3. Work for being supportive of a gazillion doctors appointments over the last two years, odd hormone-induced rages, and just generally accepting that work is just a job, family is life. 4. My cat, Neko, who is so clingy she's practically an emotional support cat. If I'm in a room, Neko is there. If I'm sitting or laying, she is sitting or laying on me. 5. Knitting for keeping me sane throughout all of this, and my knitting friends for being a source of laughter and support. There was a giant hobby show/craft fair the day after egg retrieval, and those ladies didn't even bat an eye when I told them I needed to walk slow and take many sitting breaks. 6. My Japanese fertility doctor (and nurses) for being willing to overcome the language barrier. 7. My geeky friends who don't know about the pregnancy yet, but sometimes that's a good thing. 8. Coffee (even if it's just one cup now). 9. Still being able to eat cooked sushi during pregnancy. It's my favorite food and I don't know if I'd really be able to give it up entirely. 10. This BMB and all of you.
1. Being able to get pregnant a second time without medical assistance! HOW?! 2. My husband. He's supportive and a true feminist. 3. My 3yo daughter, she's my first miracle and gives me purpose. She also painfully cool. 4. My parents and in laws- all four are incredibly supportive and 3 are artists (like me!) who support the art life. 5. BFF game nights- these help my sanity. Although I wont be able to drink during them, I will happily be eating chips. 6. My current stupid job for being super slow and allowing me to process being pregnant and being able to watch Dawson's Creek most of my day. 7. Our apartment. Chicago rent is insane but our landlord rules and we have a backyard! 8. Online shopping and free shipping. YAS 9. My Subaru "Subi" for being the GOAT 10. My cousin and his boyfriend for being the greatest BFF
