Thankful Monday

Mondays are difficult for me. Not only are they the first day of the work week, they're also the first day of what would have been a new week of pregnancy. With both pregnancies that we lost, Mondays were the days I went from one week to the next. In the second pregnancy especially, each week felt like a huge milestone and I looked forward to Mondays for that reason.

So needless to say, Mondays are tough now. I can't help but think about how pregnant I would be today (12 weeks). But I didn't let myself think about the future nearly as much this time, so I know it will get better soon. Until then, I am going to post things I am thankful for every Monday to help me focus on the good stuff and not the negative stuff.

Today I am thankful for:

*Being able to button my pants again!
*Working from home today.
*My wonderful and adorable puppies who make me feel better everytime I'm sad.
*My grandma who keeps dropping off food for us so I don't have to cook as much. :)
*Voicemails, texts, & emails of encouragement especially from Jordan, Susanne, Lynn, Allison, Amber, Courtney & Kelly ...Special thanks to Kelly who dealt with infertility for over a year and makes me feel less crazy every time we talk. :)
*My parents - who are hurting for me everyday. I hate that they hurt when I hurt. But it makes me feel VERY loved.
