My Little Drummer Boys: Thankful for laughter, love and life.

Thursday, 17 November 2011

Thankful for laughter, love and life.

I am thankful for my twin sons' laughter…they remind me how simple happiness can be, even when bad things happen.

I am so thankful Joel's accident wasn't worse , teeth can be fixed for the most part. I am letting go of my misery.

I’m thankful for having met such a sweet guy on a blind date 23yrs ago [Oct 15th] and we started our relationship a month later on 15th November . Here we are today, it fills my heart with thanks.

I am thankful for my amazing twin boys…miracles conceived by IVF ; transfered as day 5 Hatched blastocysts (if you know what that means) on 14th November 2005 ... here is what I wrote on a forum back then

I now have 2 hatched blastocysts on board - no frozen embryos though - this one is going to work so won't need any !

I have 2 weeks to my beta though - or maybe I will POAS* if I feel the time is right....

No wonder they teach me patience every day ! ... I waited 14yrs to get pregnant with them.

*Pee on a stick :) and I did early 23rd November !

What are you thankful for ?

♥

So much to be thankful for in this beautiful post. We were days away from our first ivf cycle when I finally got that sticky BFP, the ivf clinic didn't believe me :) Love the breastfeeding comment you left on my blog! Just starting to think about extended breastfeeding myself, probably because I never thought I could go this far. You are an inspiration.

I love to hear stories like that . How precious is Baby G.
I knew a few people who got lucky like that. Another who after 10 yrs of IVF on last cycle lost a precious daughter. So she had to try IVF again - got ONLY one follicle /one egg and Dr wanted her to cancel - she refused - had her little girl ( a miracle too) . Then fell pregnant by herself - in less than year.
PS I love extended BF and I think it is up to you both , getting anywhere with BF is an achievement in itself.

Oh Trish! I cried a little bit! It DID work!
When my twins laugh together my whole world melts away and I feel like everything will be ok!

Ooh you met your hub on my birthday! Although my actual day of birth was just a few years earlier ;)

I'm so thankful teeth aren't the end of the world too but I'm sure it was very upsetting when it happened! xox

It's so good to stop & think back to where the story (for yourself) began. That forum post is incredible.. it's like you lived in a different universe to the one you are in now with your boys. Children really do begin a new chapter in our lives. Thankful indeed!

Absolutely Lisa Jay, I cant remember my life before them though I have an older boy. He was adopted at 13.5months old so we missed so much baby baby time with him.

I know the excitement of going/wanting those hatched blastocysts to work. I'm so thankful one of my two worked as well, otherwise we wouldn't have my firstborn miracle.
