I'm grateful for...

BC&LM

It seems like a lot of us are having some tough stuff going on right now, whether it's being sick, sick LOs, DH issues, work issues, etc.  So I thought it might be nice to think about what we are all grateful for to cheer us up a little bit.

I'll start:

I'm grateful that I had a safe delivery even though LO came early and that he seems to be progressing decently.

I'm grateful for a DH who knows how to cook well!

I probably have more, but my lunch break is just about over!

I'm grateful that my DH is nothing like his father or brother. Seriously, I think he was adopted. I'm also thankful that N has been such a happy baby the past couple days. It's been a real treat

Oh, I needed this to day to put things back in perspective for myself

 

1. I am grateful for a healthy LO

2. I am grateful that I have made a good group of friends (both IRL and on TB) with kids about my son's age who have become a good support system to me.

I am grateful for my healthy baby.  Also grateful that I get to SAH with LO.  We have good days and bad, but I wouldn't change being a SAHM for the world.

I'm grateful that H will pick up the slack when I don't feel well.  I'm grateful for a family that wants so badly to be in Lily's life and will do anything to be there for her.

I am grateful for MH who brought me lunch today at the office because otherwise I would have had to take a lunch break longer than 15 minutes and I can't afford that today.

I am grateful to diet coke for fueling me and allowing me the energy to be patient with my kids when they decide to play who can whine louder.

I am grateful for my bump friends who have been in my life for almost 7 months now! Crazy to think about...

I'm thankful for my husband. I know how lucky I am. He is great with our kids. And, even when he doesn't necessarily understand why I'm passionate about doing or not doing something with the kids, he respects it and makes an effort to get on board. He works so hard for us and has said he would get a second job before he would want me to go back to work. Luckily that's not really something we have to worry about. He tells me all of the time how beautiful (not hot or sexy) I am and what a great mom I am. Usually when I need to hear it most. He is a good man and I hope I tell him enough.

I'm grateful for my DH. He works hard so I don't have to work and can focus all my energy on LO and school. I'm all thankful for an amazing college that makes every accommodation possible to allow me to pump at school and at clinical.

I needed this so badly today...sitting here crying and so overwhelmed with life.

But...I am grateful for my two boys and their smiles and how they play together. I'm grateful I can SAH with them and still work in my field on my terms. I'm grateful for DH who is always understanding and helpful and a great partner in life.

Now I just need to breath and know it's only a stage...DS1 won't be 2 forever, right?? 8-}

No longer the best

Aww! Guys! So sweet! 

@Tiffletons518 that made me tear up a bit.  

My husband is the same when it comes to not understanding something I'm passionate about with the kid, especially because his family is VERY different than mine and yet he will get behind it in amazing ways!

I'm grateful for my Maternity Leave.  I feel like I'm living in a glorious fake little world. I know that sounds bizarre but I can do whatever I want with M whenever I want, I"m still earning an income (even if it is reduced) and I will still have a great exciting job to go back to. And my husband checks in with me everyday to see what I want him to do.  Like he needs to give me a break everyday because I'm home with our son all the time (who is now napping well so I have more free time than he does now)! 

ETA: kid singular, I only have one child! Ha! Although that could probably apply to my dog also.

I'm grateful for my parents- they have helped my h and I so much
Thankful to be a SAHM for however long we can last
Thankful for my sweet baby girl who makes me smile every day.

I am thankful for:

My husband works 60 hours a week and only has Sundays off so that I can stay home with the boys.

For having family that live so close that can help me when needed!

For my parents(mostly my Mom) who is always there for me!

For having 3 healthy boys!

I am grateful that both of the kids slept in until 8am today! It won't happen again until they are teenagers, I am sure, but for today I will take it and be glad that I am rested enough to manage finishing a sentence or two without staring at the wall wondering what I was trying to say when I started talking. 

I thought that I was unique in this behavior

I am so very grateful for my little guy. For some reason I've bumped into stories of child abuse and SIDS deaths today and they just make my heart ache. I am so incredibly grateful for his health and for our health. I'm grateful for my job, my company was acquired on the second to last week of my maternity leave and its been very touch and go since then. Finally I am grateful for my partner - who just happens to be making homemade bread - how random - she rarely even cooks.

I'm grateful for almost everything going on in my life. I'm a lucky girl. I know I have an amazing husband who is sweet and romantic with me and a great father to our boys. I'm grateful I only have to work part time in a job I love. I'm grateful my husband has finally found the perfect job that makes his heart happy when he's not with us. I'm grateful for our beautiful dream house. I'm grateful for our healthy and our wonderful friends and family.
This week specifically I'm grateful that a good friend has finally found a job after being laid off for 10 months. I used to watch their son two days a week to keep our budget online and when he lost his job I lost mine too and we've been hurting since then. So I'm super happy for their family AND ours in this situation!

BC&LM

I'm also grateful that my parents make LO a priority in their lives and invite us to come over for weekend dinners as often as possible.

I'm grateful to have a God who loves me and gives me strength everyday to be patient, loving and nurturing.

I am so thankful for my sweet little boy. I'm also grateful for all the people in our lives that love him. I may have my differences with my inlaws but they truly love my son. I'm so grateful that my parents moved by us and that they're in our daily lives. I feel like it's my dream come true after living an hour from them for 4 years. I'm very grateful for my sweet hard working husband. He is a wonderful father and makes me feel beautiful. It has been a huge adjustment for everyone the last 7 months and although it hasn't been easy I'm more sure than ever that I picked a wonderful man to spend my life with.
