Re: Thankful Tuesday
He's been so amazing this whole journey and lately with the countdown to baby getting so close he's really stepped up his game. Today he rubbed my back as I did some birthing ball exercises, he rubs my feet every night before bed, and he always makes sure to pick up my favorite foods [aka yummy mcgriddle for breakfast this AM!].
He's been great setting everything up for baby but this past week he's really stepped up his game to get my huge hunniedo list completed. And thanks to him the nursery is officially complete and the baby's bathroom is 90 percent done!! Yay!!
Having a husband that works a job he dislikes for a family he loves.
Although we will be moving to a bigger city, closer to family, with more job opportunity. So I'm hoping he'll get a job he likes.
Also thankful for lo deciding to stay put for the time being and for my awesome ob who did everything possible to stop labor from progressing. Hopefully I'll be able to go home later today, but I guess we'll see what happens.
Cliche answer here as well, my husband. He has been beyond amazing since I have been on bedrest. He goes above and beyond what I ask him to do and will even wake up (its hard not to as I am as quiet as a herd of elephants) to help me out of bed so I can pee and while I am peeing he will run and make me a snack. I know that sounds random but thats my MO. Get up, pee, make a snack, back to bed.
I am also thankful I have an awesome OB. He was on call last week and had to go to the hospital right before my appointment so it ended up being cancelled last week. He called and apologized (not that I was mad or anything like that) and has called twice since to make sure I was still doing ok and if I wanted to be seen before my next appointment (I go weekly so it just made me giggle).
Also, I'm thankful for captain crunch cereal.
Looks like this might be a Thankful for SO Tuesday.
I am so thankful for DF. He very unwillingly went to a Lamaze class with me last Saturday and later admitted he "enjoyed it". He kept his promise to quit smoking cigarettes before baby girl's arrival, and even with working long hard hours here lately.. He understands I'm feeling very uncomfortable and does everything he can to make me feel "better".
I'm also thankful my mom is going to be back in town. She's been gone for the past month and I really miss her and now that I know she will be home later today, I don't feel as nervous about going into labor while shes 12 hours away. I know, I still have 3 weeks.. but pregnancy anxiety gets the best of me sometimes.
I'm so thankful for our little girl and that she is heathy in there and kicking away! I love her so much already. It's amazing how much you can love someone without ever meeting or seeing their little face yet! I'm so thankful for my little family that will soon be complete!
Edit: OK, I'm I'll add DH to this too! lol. He was my rock last Wednesday when I went into labor and through my csection. I know he was just as scared as I, but he never lost step in taking care of me. And over the last week, he has done everything for me...will miss him when he returns to work tomorrow.
Its totally ok and normal (IMO) to feel both for your ILs. I love mine to death and know that no matter what, if we need something they will be there but the little things they do (and sometimes big) that really get under my skin. At the end of the day I wouldnt trade them off for anything.
Yes i am very thankful to have such awesome friends.
DS born 9/3/13; DD born 7/22/15; LO due 5/28/18
FS (age 5) and FD (age 2) to become AS/AD very soon!
Today, I'm thankful that I was able to paint my toenails last night. haha. I found just the right height chair with just the right height box to prop my feet on. Hopefully this self pedi lasts the next two weeks/until delivery.
I'm going to follow the trend of this Tuesday and say I'm super thankful for DH. Although he has his moments (as we all do), he has really stepped up the past few weeks and has been super sweet and helpful.
I am also super thankful for our basement, which has been my savior in this heat since our house does not have AC. I literally am in the basement almost all day (when I'm not trying to clean) aside from coming upstairs to make dinner.
Lastly, I am very very thankful for ice cream!
I'm thankful for a SIL always willing to help out. the painter is starting today on our basement and we both work so she is house sitting. She also hosted our shower and has given us tons of things for the LO already.
I'm thankful for technology and my sweet grandparents. My 85 year old grandparents are learning the computer and I got my first e-mail from my grandma last night. it was the cutest thing ever. they are in texas so I don't get to see them or talk to them as often as I'd like.
I am thankful for a day off today with DS. We are mainly going to lounge around the house and may run to the store. Also thankful for my job. It's a great company to work for with a lot of perks and pretty good maternity leave options.
I'm also thankful for DH for talking me down off my ledge of freakouts that this baby is coming soon!
ETA: I'm sure I'll be incredibly thankful for the pedicure that is in my very near future!
I am super thankful for my DF. Yesterday, when we found out Baby Girl is still breech and the words "scheduled c section" came up, I lost it. He let me cry and listened to my concerns, but then as always, he calmed me down, reminded me we will get through anything, and took me
To Cold Stone for ice cream. He is the most amazing man and is going to be a wonderful father. I definitely couldn't do this pregnancy or this life without him.
Sending thoughts and prayers for your dh! Hope it all goes well!
Thanks! He is groggy and milking it, but I am relieved it is over. It ended up being much more in-depth than planned, and I'm very thankful for the place I work helping and being flexible.

I'm thankful LO is healthy and doing very well in there. Seeing her at the u/s on sunday was amazing, esp. watching her lungs "breathe" and her mouth moving.
I'm also thankful that DH's hard work paid off and he got his promotion yesterday.
BFP #1 mm/c at 12w1d
Today I am thankful my symptoms of pre-e have not gotten worst. I ended up in L&D on Sunday after having contractions for 14 hours, high blood pressure, excessive swelling of my face, legs, and hands. I was so dizzy and nauseated. Baby had also stopped moving. After 2 hours of being on the monitors, the contractions stopped and baby started moving again. What a relief. The nurse was about the call the doc in. Saw my OBGYN yesterday and the protein levels in my urine aren't rising so he told me to take it easy. As much as I just want to hold my baby in my arms and know everything is okay, he/she is not ready to come out and it is still too early.
I will follow suit and also say how thankful I am for DH. Especially after having such a rough week last week. We decided to take the weekend and focus on ourselves. He really opened up about his feelings of depression and how he has been taking everything out on me. He really regrets the big move we made for our careers last year and expressed his feelings of returning to his old job and moving back to be close to my family. He contacted his old boss and I really hope this works out for us. We would be much happier.
Hooray!! Hoping all goes smoothly for your friend.
With every one else feeling "very large and uncomfortable" I am feeling very thankful that I only have 5 weeks to go and I really haven't had this problem. It's starting to kick in when I lay down at night, but for the most part I'm still feeling pretty good.
I am thankful for my dad and that he is okay. He had a tree fall on him about a week or so ago, and it messed up his knee really bad, but it could have been a lot worse. And he said he isn't going to let it stop him from traveling the 3 1/2- 4 hours to be here when LO is born, even though I told him he really didn't have to.
And as always I am very thankful for my amazing DH.
Also, really thankful me and DH spoke about the issues we've been having lately. My IL's are definitely crap but as Long as me and H are on the same page that's all I care about. Baby will be here too soon and we have more to worry about than arguing over other people and not worrying about each other.
Yay!! Lots of Ts & Ps for her LO!!
1) MIL's goddamn cats are gone!!
2) I have a bag of candy all to myself
3) DH and I were able to have sex yesterday and it felt pretty good.
She still has some more treatments to go, but it is absolutely wonderful that her primary treatment worked!! This is her 4th bout with cancer and she is the toughest fighter I know!
