Happy Thanksgiving!
It's only 8 am and I almost just made myself cry already thinking of the past few years and how much I longed for a baby, and how thankful I am for these two little ones growing inside me.
Love and best wishes to all of you! This group has been amazing!
Trying for #3; FET 8/18 -- BFN. Leaving things up to chance for now... After three years, three IVFs, and two FETs, we finally have our miracle babIES!
Happy thanksgiving! I'm with Belovedbride, I can't believe how different this year is. Last thanksgiving I was still devastated over our failed IVF cycle. Right now I'm cuddling my son while watching Tv. So much to be thankful for right now!
I can't believe how different this one is either. H and I were out to dinner last night and talking about how crazy it is that I've actually been pregnant three out of the last four Thanksgivings. I had just gotten my BFPs with our first and fourth babies and our second baby had a due date just a few days after Thanksgiving. So weird that so many of them have such a strong connection to this time of year and I'm still having lots of feelings about it all. The holidays have been really rough for a long time but I'm thankful that we have a reason to celebrate again. Gah, emotions!
I tried to write a FB about what I'm thankful for -- I've actually been trying all month. I just start sobbing every time. All I could do was post a pic this am.
Two years ago, I was mourning a due date that wasn't. One year ago, I had just learned that our embryo didn't implant and was anxious since we only had one left. This year, I have a 7 week old napping in the bedroom.
And you guys have supported me through all of it- every last step. I am so thankful for this community.
Happy thanksgiving to all of you! Certainly thankful that this wonderful community exists. Hope you all spent the day surrounded with love--and pumpkin pie, too, natch.

So I told my cousins today...really thought I was gonna be okay. Yeah, no...started crying as soon as I started saying grace. Which made my mom, dad and sister cry...plus the girl cousins. Whoops. I know babies are always great news, but it's just so overwhelming for me to think about how many tears I shed thinking I'd never be here, that I'd never be pregnant. And yet here I am, just a few days away from 2nd tri.
I missed this! Happy belated Thanksgiving! Last year we had only been trying for #2 for a few months so I was still easy breezy about the whole thing, thinking it would be different from DD. This year was the first holiday without my dad but I'm so thankful for this baby boy to arrive!
