Thankful

Sure, it's probably the entry title for many today, but today, I am thankful.  We are thankful.

Thankful for the GOOD AND THE BAD.  Because, without the bad, there would be no good.

We have loved and lost much in the past few years, but we are forever grateful for what we still have because it is what keeps us going, day in and day out.

I could sit and list all we are thankful for, but the list would go on for ages... but since it's only appropriate, here are a few things we ARE thankful for...

We're thankful for:
  • Reagan - She has humbled us and taught us so much, especially about Hope
  • Addy - She has brought laughter and love and made us know, "It's going to be ok."  Pretty good for a 16 month old!
  • My Crohn's - Without it, I likely wouldn't have my girls.  Lots of things lead to having twins..
  • MY PCOS - Again, without it, I wouldn't have my girls
  • My endless doctors - Seriously, I have a FANTASTIC network of doctors.  Sure, I get frustrated. Who doesn't?  But, I have one of the best Reproductive Endocrinologist (fertility doc), Maternal Fetal Specialist (our pregnancy doc), gastroeneterologist, colon surgeon, family physician, etc..etc..  even their nurses have been great.  I've had a bit of trouble with a few, but all in all, I cannot complain.  And, we are so thankful for the docs that took care of the girls.. From Dr. Quintero to Dr. Turnquest to the Neos... (Dr. Vincent)... they have all etched a permanent place in our hearts and minds.
  • Our beautiful home (though it's a bit - ok a lot - messy at the moment)
  • Our friends & family - you know who you are!
  • Our huge support network that is always there for us...always...
  • My Parents - They have been there for us left and right.  They have be our backbones of our marriage and family as we have dealt with infertility, Crohn's, prematurity, and losing a child.  They have gently reminded us that even during the hardest decisions of our life, it will be okay, somehow, someway.  And, throughout ALL of our decisions, they have sat back and supported us...helped us.. loved us.  Thank you!

Again, the list could go on and on... that's just what's on my mind at the moment...

We wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We'll be spending ours with family.  And, we'll be visiting Reagan too.
