I am having a tough time feeling thankful right now because this nausea is really dragging me down, but I feel very blessed and grateful that my husband and I are both still employed right now, and that we are healthy, and have something positive to look forward to in December.
I’m thankful we got to pick up our dog Buddy from the Vet yesterday and we are a complete family again
TTC History:
Me: 36 H: 40 Married 2015. Together since 2010. TTC: Sept 2016-Oct 2017 BFP Oct 2017. DD born July 2018. TTC: March 2020. BFP March 2020 Due date was Nov 2020 DS born Sept 2020. DS passed away Nov 2020 due to prematurity and birth trauma. TTC: March 2021 IUI #1 Nov 2021, BFN IUI #2 Dec 2021 BFP. MC Jan 2022 IUI #3 Aug 2022 BFN IUI #4 Sept 2022 BFN AMH test came back at .081. Was going to move on to IVF with DE, but have decided not to. Will be leaving it up to the universe now.
Thankful that our landlord isn’t charging us fees for being late on rent. DH needs to call our car loan servicer to see what we need to do, since our unemployment still hasn’t kicked in and we have no idea when it will. Also thankful that I seem to have gotten over staying up until 7 or 8am and am back to a somewhat normal sleep schedule.
Thankful to be 9 weeks today and to be able to see the light at the end of the nausea tunnel!
Also very lucky to be in a home we love during these times. I only moved from NYC a couple of years ago and I cannot imagine being in my old tiny apartment alone during this time.
I’m thankful for my husband for being able to be home with me right now (he usually works out of town) and my doggo for always giving the best snuggles and I’m most thankful to be pregnant. I honestly didn’t know how far into our infertility journey it would take us to be here let alone that the first round of clomid would work and I’m just so so so thankful despite all the nausea and exhaustion.
Thankful that it's a gorgeous day and my "hangover" from yesterday is totally gone. I feel like a new person. Braved Trader Joe's and it was actually empty (I guess people start to swing by over their lunch breaks), so now we're all stocked up on snacks, cheese, frozen vegetables, and other good things.
Thankful that I'm still employed and can easily work from home. Agree with someone else who said that teleworking during the first trimester is a godsend. Also, even though that my husband lost his job in March, we're still in a good place financially and will be able to weather this. I just hope he gets something soon, he's starting to get discouraged.
Thankful for my husband, in general. He's incredibly patient, finds the gross/weird pregnancy things to be amusing (i.e. he thinks its hilarious when I burp or fart), and is doing his best to help out around the house. Maybe it's because we're introverts and generally just hang out with each other to begin with, but we haven't really gotten on each others' nerves yet.
Finally, we and our families are all well and safe. It's scary times out there, so as much as we may be getting restless I'm glad we all have the option to stay home and be safe. This time last year my father went into the hospital with pneumonia and a-fib and a few months later my mother also got sick with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, it's scary to think how that would have ended if it happened today.
Re: Thankful Thursday 5/7
I'm also thankful that DS is being a pretty good listener during quarantine and I'm grateful I get to spend all this extra time with him.

I am thankful for my kiddos. Even when I'm stressed they always put a smile on my face and keep my grounded!
