Thankful Thursday!

highbornhunter

I don't see this started yet, so I thought I'd kick it off.

Today is my best friend Melissa's birthday and I am thankful for her.  She helped me get my first opportunity to teach Zumba Fitness this year at her church.  She made me a cloak to wear at the PA Renaissance Faire.  And she keeps me sane at work everyday.  I am also thankful she is sharing the yummy S'mores birthday cake her supervisor made her.  

And I am thankful this baby will have an Aunt Melissa who will spoil him and love him and also help make him tiny adorable costume or help us trick out our stroller to look like a dragon or a pirate ship for the PA Renaissance Faire in a year or two.

I am thankful for my husbands job. This is the first summer I will be off. I'm a teacher and usually have to find part time work but this year I financially don't have to. I don't thank him enough for all he does.

I am thankful that I've met some really great friends here and we had a lot of fun at dinner last night supporting JDRF. 

I'm thankful that due to said dinner, I worked an hour late last night so I get to start my weekend an hour early today.  Woohoo!

I'm thankful that I don't work on Fridays.  It is so great to have that extra day and by the time Monday rolls around I'm actually refreshed and ready to head back to work. 

I'm thankful that DH and I have options for our future.  We are currently discussing moving back to the Outer Banks and me becoming a SAHM if we do that.  Not many people have the opportunity to do so.

I am thankful tomorrow is Friday and this hectic work week will be over and next week is short due to the holiday!! Job stress can finally go down a notch for me!

Today, I am thankful for DH. I found out yesterday that a dear friend is in the middle of a divorce afrer discovering her husband was having an affair. She has two young daughters and my heart was breaking for her. I am thankful that DH has remained faithful and loyal to me and consistently puts my needs and DS needs above his own. I am thankful to be in a trusting relationship with an amazing husband even if he drives me crazy sometimes.

I love Thankful Thursday!

I am thankful for this sweet baby boy we're having. I can't wait to meet him and get to know him. I am also so thankful for each little movement I feel from him. It's just such a great reminder of what's to come

I am also thankful for DH's family being close by. I probably complain about them more than I should, but they aren't really that bad. Plus they do a lot for us- even if it's not really necessary!

I am so so thankful for my DH. He is so wonderful and caring and he's going to be the best dad ever. I am so excited to our next adventure together- becoming parents.

I am thankful for the great a/s I had today and finding out its a healthy little girl!!!  Although the tech spent a lot of time looking at her heart she assured me they just need multiple pictures.

I'm inspired by @NLJ82‌ 's pet post.

I am thankful that my cat has transformed from wild animal to patient sphinxlike companion. He must know I'm pregnant now, he listens when I tell him not to step on the baby or to go lay down because I don't want to play. He lays down at my feet while I get ready in the morning instead of screaming at me for food. He makes sure I'm okay in the shower. He is a great little buddy and he never used to be. Love you, cat

I'm thankful for my boss and coworkers! It really does feel like a family. Next week, we are throwing a baby shower for a FT grandma! <:-P And she and everyone were so happy for me when I announced. I was so nervous because I haven't quite been with the company a year yet.

I'm thankful for having a wonderful, supportive husband who is going to be an amazing father.

I'm thankful I got to have a quick lunch date with my husband today and that my job is flexible enough to allow me to do that from time to time!

@missnacholover‌ being a SAHM in the Outer Banks sounds amazing! I will be so jealous if you choose to do that.

It would be but there are LOTS of things to consider.  #1 is that DH telecommutes and if he, God Forbid, lost his job, we'd be screwed.  We really need to decide if it's worth the risk.  We lived on the Outer Banks for 3 years and loved it and miss it so much.

OBX are so nice!  That would be amazing for you.  

I am thankful for my DH, my family, our new house, and a good a/s yesterday!  Also, for this new Vietnamese restaurant I recently discovered near our house.  And that our cats have adapted to the new house without too much of an issue.  Last time we moved, one of them started pooping outside the box and I had to medicate her for awhile.  So far, so good, the box is looking well-used, so FX it continues!

Today I'm thankful that Im just peeing my pants and its not amniotic fluid. Never thought I'd be praying that it would just be incontinence.

Today is my 4 year anniversary with my SO; I've been with him going on 14 years. I am so thankful to have him in my life: he's so thoughtful, generous and kind. All of these attributes have only doubled since we found out we were preggers, and I am additionally thankful that our future little boy will have such a wonderful and caring father.
I would post a wedding pic but this new bump app is a piece of GARBAGE!

This is not a brag post at all, but I'm thankful for the house we live in. I don't know that I really ever realized how much I actually appreciated it until this week. We bought some baby furniture off craigslist this week and the house I went to was so tiny and it was packed to the core. The poor kid's bedrooms were so small, I don't know how the crib even fit in the room (it was already apart). They were very clean and organized people, but I can't even begin to imagine that. So to all of you ladies who live in small houses, apartments, whatever type of small living quarters and feel crammed, I tip my hat to you.

(I do realize I may change my mind about the size of my house once a kid or few become residents LOL).

ETA: Removal of words. I like to type JUST and THAT a lot and both words drive me crazy and are pretty much never needed in a sentence, or at least used as often as I type them
