I am thankful it's almost Friday, because tomorrow starts our "glamping" weekend and I am so excited! Weekend plans include lots of drinks, lots of food, not changing out of sweatpants, and sitting around a fire talking. YAY!

I'm thankful for the amazing doctors and scientists who continue to find treatments for the cancers that have no known cures. My cancer is considered incurable, yet they are finding treatments they can use to target inflammatory breast cancer and hopefully make it curable soon enough! I just met an 8 year survivor and 20 year survivor of IBC. They are here today because of research and funding going towards that research.

I'm thankful my grandmother is still alive and we get to see her this weekend. She's fading but still lives on her own and is somewhat mobile and with it, she turns 94 this year.
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
I, too, am thankful for amazing doctors and scientists. My DH broke his elbow just over five years ago and has not been able to straighten his arm since that day. Until yesterday.
He came out of surgery with it splinted straight, and even though it's swollen and sore and wrapped in a million bandages right now, he keeps waking up from his pain meds-induced sleep and going, "Oh! Wow! My arm is straight! I can't believe it's straight!" It's kind of incredible the things that we take for granted, so I am also very thankful for good health.

*trigger warning loss*
I'm thankful for my husband. He's been my rock through this week. He's cried with me, brought me wine, cooked all the meals and has generally been so kind to me. I feel pretty lucky.
I'm thankful that I have a roof over my head, food to eat at home, gas to put in my car, and a loving husband to come home to every night. I'm thankful that my problems are often #firstworldproblems and are ultimately not going to make or break me. I'm thankful for a Facebook post I was able to share the other day that explains my particular inability to keep plans. I'm thankful that I can fight with my husband about anything and it doesn't detriment our relationship.
I'm thankful I have people to talk to, even though I can't see them. I'm thankful for my cat, even though she doesn't like to cuddle.
Most of all, I'm thankful that this thread was started because I didn't know if I'd psych myself out of posting it again this week. I'm thankful that this time, my way of overcompensating for the things that suck in my life is by thinking of what I'm thankful for.

What great things to be thankful for this week!
I am extremely thankful that my husband was finally able to start a day job this week. For the first time in our relationships we will now have nights, weekends and holidays together. It is something I will never take for granted. (You guys especially heard a lot about it because timing our sex during FW when we was working night shift was unsexy and not fun)
I'm thankful for my husband, and the great team we make together. We sat down last night and had a long discussion about our debt, and what we could do to start taking control of it and working towards paying everything off. I feel like the two of us could take on the world together, it's a great feeling!

Like many others today, I'm thankful for my husband. He smiles when I can't, makes me laugh when I want to cry, and I feel really lucky to have him in my life (especially lately).

My thankful seems lame in comparison to the awesome thankfuls above!
but, I'm thankful for pretty weather! It's warm and sunny, but not hot - so I walked to lunch with a coworker. And My workout in my un-air-conditioned gym this afternoon will be bearable.
And this weekend, i'm going to two outdoor festivals with family and friends. Sunny and 75? Sweet!

I'm thankful for the Chocolate Milkshake I am about to sit down and eat and that I have down time to watch some more Gilmore Girls. I've missed nap time this week.

I'm thankful for my husband as I've been sick all week and he's stepped up so much to take care of me. And take care of DS when I've been out of commission.

I'm thankful that my husband drove me around to urgent care and to get me food and dealing with me/taking care of me with my reaction to my meds.
I'm thankful that finally the allergic reaction and the medicine I am on to help with that is finally working like it is supposed to so that I don't have shortness of breath, headaches and chest tightness. I'm still very tired but am finally able to breath properly.

I'm thankful for an awesome boss. I have a midterm and he told me to study as much as needed and I can leave early to grab a snack and study more.
I'm thankful for my husband who agrees that our fort was a blast last weekend, and decided to leave it alone so we can use it again this weekend before we take it down.
I'm thankful for the Steak and Shake that is on my way to campus so that I can stress eat a cheeseburger while I study.
I'm thankful to be able to go on vacation next week even if it's just for a few days. DH and I have both been really stressed out for the last few weeks so it will be a much needed breather.

I'm thankful for my H who supports me, makes me laugh, and who I can count on always. I am also thankful for a job that is awesome, pays our bills, and some extra to have fun with!
