Appreciation

The other day I decided that this week I should write about appreciation when I did our blog update.  A couple years ago, I would never have associated infertility and appreciation!  How could one appreciate the hope and heartbreak, medicines, procedures, and the other physical and emotional issues that come along with fertility treatments?  Well, to be honest...it still isn't always the easiest thing to do, but it's important to appreciate and be thankful for the blessings we do have!


The first thing we have to appreciate this week is my TSH being 1.6, which means my thyroid hormone is right where Dr. Bopp wants it!  Now, we just keep an eye on it to make sure it stays between 1-2.


What else is there to appreciate at the Jones' house?  I'm so glad you asked!  :)  I appreciate the fact that Joe takes care of the dinner and the laundry.  This week, I started home bound services with two very special kiddos.  While the extra income will be nice, I am so thankful to work with these little ones.  Little ones that have so many challenges ahead of them, but have the sweetest smiles in the world!  I do appreciate all the munchkins, even though they make me a little bonkers from time to time!
We are so blessed with family and friends that support us through everything, not just our fertility stuff.  This week I enjoyed ice cream with the girls, playing at the museum, and we celebrated Joe's grandparents 60th wedding anniversary.  Is it wrong to add that I appreciate having President's Day off?!


In Cade Foundation news, we are excited to be part of the Fertili-Wine Tasting for the Cade Foundation in March.  If I haven't e-mailed or sent you anything on Facebook, let me know.  I am working on this with my cousin Stacie, who received the Cade grant in 2008.  If it wasn't for Stacie and her husband being so open and sharing the Cade Foundation, we wouldn't have been introduced to this great organization!


Just when I was getting ready to update the blog, this picture popped up on my Facebook time line...it just fits perfect!


Have a wonderful week, and remember to appreciate the little things!
