A tale of that wacky world of infertility that has now spiraled into the fascinating world of Guatemalan adoption and now... Parenting a child who's smile lights up the world, has a laugh that would drive the meanest person to hysterics and who also happens to have a genetic deletion at 16p11.2.

AAAAHHHHCCCHHHOOOOOO!!!!
Yeah, that's been my Thanksgiving. Coughing up a lung and sneezing all over everything. I missed Thanksgiving dinner at my brother's house (which I heard was amazing) but, on the flip side, my wonderful husband made us our own little dinner. I have so much to be thankful for this year... here's a little list (just the tip of the iceberg)...
My wonderful husband, Marc who is my rock, my life, my love
My beautiful son-to-be, Dylan
My beautiful son-to-be's birth mother
My family who puts the fun back into dysfunctional
My sister the Princess because she reminds me of what it is like to be young
My dear friends Joelle & Jenn because they just get it
My soul sister, Barb, because it was all meant to be
My blog friends - because you've all been there, done that and have a few too many tee shirts to show for it
My job because they are the greatest group of people I've ever had the honor of working with and for
My cats, Saffron & Shadow, because no mater what I shit I am, they love me
I'm thankful that this outlet of blogging exists. It has helped keep me sane during some pretty insane times.
Oh, and I'm thankful 91x in San Diego is doing a webcast of their Sunday show today so I can enjoy some good 80's music while I write this :)

I grew up with 91x in San Diego. They used to play a lot of music that nobody else would play! I still listen to them when I drive down to my dad's place or when I see clients in the area!
ReplyDeleteSorry you are sick. Heal up fast and enjoy the TLC your getting from Marc.
Hope that you are feeling better soon. I am just catching up on blog reading, so I wanted to tell you also, that the furniture for Dylan's room is adorable and the room looks so nice!
ReplyDeleteBummer on the Thanksgiving cold...hope you feel better soon! Get over it now cause you've got a big trip in the near future. :) Love'd the thankful list....I feel the same way!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been dealing with a nasty cold for the past 2 weeks or so, so I am hoping that you feel much better very soon, I know how much they suck!
ReplyDeleteI like your list, Julie. I have a bad case of the Not Thankfuls right now, but it's nice to see other people who have the right spirit of the season.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon!
Great post. Thanks for reminding me of all the wonderful things for which to be thankful.
ReplyDeleteAnd I listen to Steve West every Sunday. One of these days I am going to sign up for "Hey mom I'm on 91X."
Hope you are feeling better.
