What are you thankful for today?

TessyMessy

We have not done this in a while and I'm sure many of us could use some positive words. No Captain Obvious answers.. we are all thankful for our babies whether they are inside or outside. You need to tell us why.

1. I'm thankful that LO has started smiling and cooing at me. He has not done this to DH yet and it makes me feel special ">

2. I'm thankful we are going to get another snow storm on Monday-- this means I will not be able to go back to work and can spend another day with LO.

3. I'm thankful for my aunt who came over and cleaned my house yesterday. Seriously best gift ever.

4. I'm thankful that LO stopped abusing my nipples. He finally is learning some BF manners!

I'm thankful for the ability for mh to telecommute. We've been fine the days it's just j bug and I, but it's so nice to have him here even if he's not totally available since he's working... just having the company and hearing him talk to her while I shower makes me feel better!

I'm thankful for my mom and MIL. DH and I have both had strep this week and they are coming in to rescue us tomorrow. Cleaning the house, shopping, and then each of them are taking one of the bigs back to their house so I can just eat/sleep/nurse and hopefully knock this crap out once and for all.

I'm thankful that my 3 year old is madly in love with his brother and has made the adjustment to big brother wonderfully.

I am incredibly thankful for my MIL who came out of her comfort zone and stayed with me for a month. She was really worried about our rural MT winters from her SoCal 'winters.' She has been such a trooper , bundling up to go outside, and learning how to not only drive a manual, but on icy/snowy road conditions. She has been doing all the cooking, cleaning, property choirs, and making sure I'm taking care of myself and LO. She has seriously been such a HUGE help, since DH could not take any time off and has had to continue working 12-16 hr days.

I am thankful for LO who has learning not biting me during BF. My little vampire will hopefully be retired for good shortly.

I went to a work meeting today for 30 minutes because an out of town client was visiting, and DS was a good boy and slept the whole time while hanging with one of my coworkers! I was very thankful for that

Us too!! Isn't it wonderful to see them together?!? DD1 is so sweet to LO.

I'm also thankful for an efficient nurser. Makes life a lot easier

I am thankful for my relative who called today and offered to take my big kids to a movie tonight.  That is the best gift I think I've received since LO arrived!!

1.Thankful that my boobs finally figured their shit out. I no longer have a right boob that is more than a cup size bigger than the left. Hallelujah! Breastfeeding is going much better now that things are more regulated and proportionate!

2. Peri bottle, because ouch. Third degree still bothering me pretty bad 2 weeks PP

3. Wipes warmer. Never got one before DS was born because I thought we would never use it, people told me it was pointless. WRONG (at least in my case). DS enjoys diaper changes much more now that his bottom can stay warm

I am thankful that my best friend is flying in to visit for the weekend! I am looking forward to taking her up on her offer to get up with Aubrey at night tomorrow night

MamaHollywood27

I'm thankful that I discovered Sprechers HARD rootbeer and enjoyed one tonight! Amazing.

Thankful that even thou I bitch at him, about him, my DH puts up w my current uncharacteristic extreme moodiness due to lack of sleep.

Thankful for heat. Living in the Midwest right now I'm more then thankful!

I'm thankful for my DD1's fourth grade teacher. She is a God send with the patience of a saint. I went on a museum trip with the class today and boy... It was rough but the teacher didn't flinch. She was awesome, she always is!

1) I am thankful for my DH and how supportive and helpful he's been. He's been making sure I get my medicine on time so that I can be semi-functional because huge incision, cleaning the house and doing most of the diaper changes for LO.

2) I am thankful to have such a sweet LO with almost no problems (she even takes her antibiotics without too much fuss), and is eating well and not having many fits and just being an all around mellow sweet baby.

3) I am thankful for great friends. Living overseas, so far away from my family (who wasn't able to come out for the birth of LO) my friends have helped out bunches by bringing meals that were ready to eat over. And then this afternoon they came for out sip 'n' see and brought gifts for LO (completely surprise on the gift category). It was lovely to share the joy of my first child with them all.

I'm just so pleased with everything and can't help but feel so loved and blessed by all the support I've received. Also all of you ladies have been a great support for me and I wanted to thank you all.

I'm thankful for Skype. I love my mom so much and I'm so happy that my baby girl still gets to see grandma once a week even though we live across the country.

Also, burp cloths. So many spit ups.

I am thankful for the last 3 weeks. DH was on vacation and here to help with both girls. He goes back to work Tuesday night and I am dreading doing nights alone.

Especially thankful for Verizon FiOS and being able to permanently buy Frozen on demand. The three hours DD1 watched it back to back while DD2 napped and I chilled with a book were amazing.

What you can permanently buy it?? That is awesome; guess I know what my kids are watching tonight!!!

Further to what @keags5496 said, I'm so grateful to see my older kids dog-pile all over each other and try to clobber the baby because they are so in love with her :x. They're learning, though! Even my 3yo DS, who is the worst kind of bull in a china shop, tried to climb up on the Boppy this morning while she was eating. I winced and thought he was going to kill her, but then he gave her the sweetest, gentlest kiss on the cheek before bouncing away. So freaking heartwarming!

This just made me smile.  So sweet!

That LO didn't have his days and nights mixed up. I didn't think that was possible?

Also, the skin has grown back on my nips and I've gone from extreme pain to mild discomfort. Maybe another week and we'll be all good

cksmith29

I'm thankful for my recliner since it's the only place LO will allow me sleep, big sisters who hold LO whenever I need them to and for desensitized nips from way back. The nips hurt but not as bad as withy first baby.

Mazingmommyof6

I'm thankful baby number 6 is an easy baby

I am thankful for acid reflux medication. LO has in pain screaming for over a week after feeding even with baby Zantac. H and I took her in yesterday and got a stronger medication. It's been so nice to feed my baby and not see her in pain afterward.

melissaf22

I am thankful LO slept very well last night and let me get naps in multiple times so I actually feel like a normal person today

mdr619

I'm thankful for this relaxing, quiet, rainy morning. L slept relatively well last night and H let me sleep in til 9. I'm feeling rested!

I am so thankful for my mother. We just moved to another city, and we came home this weekend. It has been so amazing to spend time with her, and good quality time too!

She also got up with my 3 year old so that I could sleep in with E. It was glorious.
