Being the mom to 3 boys, I have learned cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.

Infertility Thanksgiving of Sorts...

I'm thankful that God blessed me with a prince charming of a DH that has held my hand through it all. From sitting in the RE office being told we have less than a 5% of ever conceiving, allowing me to squeeze his hand during the HSG,taking off work to attend every single RE appointment with me, learning how to give injections, letting me see HIM cry with all the BFNs, the BFPs, the miscarriage and seeing/hearing our baby's heart beat for the first time, wiping away my tears when he was able to lean down and tell me our sons were born.

I'm thankful for my two miracle children. The ones I was told would never be.

I'm thankful for all birth mothers that can give the most loving and selfless gift ever - their child - to another couple. This is especially for my niece's birthmother and to my BFF daughter's birthmother. I'm thankful that God granted them the strength to make that decision.

Today, while my babies (yes they will always be my babies) are still sound asleep in their beds, I'm completely thankful for my life. I'm actually thankful for IF - it has helped my DH and I become a more faithful and loving couple. IF has granted us the wisdom of love and patience. IF has helped us be better parents to our children.

Thank you, Lord, for all the gifts you have blessed me with today.
