2018 Review - I am grateful for...

[Sjf0709]

Hi ladies,

I’ve had a rollercoaster 2018 which started fantastic and had quite a few lows on the way. I’m usually an optimistic person and I want to end the year on a high. We can all moan, shout and rant about what we don’t have but I want to end 2018 being grateful for what I do have. I’ve therefore started this post as a ‘feel good’ post and I hope you’ll all post things to be positive about this can then take us into 2019 feeling good about our journeys and positive for what an exciting new year has in store for us x

2018 has been a hard and emotionally challenging year for me but I am grateful that...

• I found this forum and you lovely ladies who have helped me through my darkest times
• I know that I can get pregnant and I’m just waiting on my sticky bean
• I started this journey not knowing much about TTC but now I know more than I ever thought I would do
• I have an amazing support network around me
• I have a loving and caring hubby who has been my rock through this TTC journey

2019 is going to be our year. No doubt this TTC journey will throw even more curveballs at us but so long as we are together then we can get past them

I’m grateful that:

...I got to marry my best friend in precisely the location and way we wanted.

...My dad was there to walk me down the aisle (something I was terrified would never happen when he was diagnosed with leukaemia a few years ago)

...I live in a beautiful flat.

...My husband got a new job!

...We can afford to travel and I got to explore Quinta de Regaleira.

Love this

So only mentioning good things about 2018, I am greatful that:

• I have the best husband in the world who has been my rock through ttc and makes me laugh alllll the time
• I have an amazing family who have been a great support to me
• I had a brilliant couple of holidays this year
• Christmas was magical and looking forward to spending New Years with my family
• Lots of great get-togethers
• Summer was never ending....I loved it!

For 2019, I want to be healthy mentally and physically as best as I can be so that if it does come to ivf then I know I’ll have tried my best. I don’t want to let ttc overwhelm me as much as it has in the past, but also allowing myself to feel rubbish if I feel rubbish lol. And most of all I want to enjoy and appreciate all the little things in life.

I am grateful that I have somewhere I can say how I actually feel about TTC even when my husband doesn't want to hear it and when I can't even talk to friends about it.

I am grateful that my husband is wonderful and optimistic, even after nearly 4 years of TTC.

I am grateful that my body managed to get pregnant for a few weeks early this year even though I lost it.

I am grateful for all the support I got on here when I had my miscarriage.

I am grateful for the babies that have been born into my family this year and that are in my life.

This year has gone so fast! It's like it was September, I blinked and now it's almost nye.

Good points for me have been completing my Paramedic course, third time at uni and I'm proud to be getting the hatrick.

We've moved into out house in Dec last year and have managed to do a bit of work on it, it's a slow process but it is getting there and is definitely our home.

I'm grateful for my DH who puts me before everything and I love more than anything. We celebrated 1 yr married and I look forward to the rest of our adventure which included taking the ttc leap in summer. Not an easy process and certainly emotional with a mc in October but then we managed to catch in November and are currently expecting twins!

So it's been a busy year and fingers crossed it will get busier and we will all stay happy and healthy as we welcome 2019.

Firsr nye I've not worked in 3 years and I'll be in bed by 8:30, may try push my luck to 9pm!

I wish you all a happy new year and that your wishes come true, and that the baby dust is abundant to all you lovely ladies xxx

My year has had huge highs and lowest lows but focussing on the positives I’m grateful I had a beautiful wedding just how we wanted it and a lovely honeymoon. I’m grateful my daughter is happy and healthy and is growing into an amazing little person.

Ready to move on to 2019...

Lovely idea @Sjf0709

I am also hoping for a kinder 2019 and a year of huge changes for DH and myself. 2019 will be our year.

I am grateful for having an amazing and supportive best friend in my DH.

During my year of TTC, I have learned so much about my body and cycle and am grateful that everything came back clear on paper regarding my fertility.

I am grateful for my friends and family, who have supported me through many years at university.

I am grateful that I am very healthy, happy, and have a lot of opportunities to take advantage of this year.
