Thankful Thursday

AnnieRoo13

Seriously needing this thread today given my own issues along with the judgment thread.

What are you thankful for?

I'm thankful that today is Thursday and tomorrow is Friday! Tomorrow is our A/S and i'm so excited to see our baby moving and kicking. I'm so excited for my husband to see this, he missed it with our first. I'm so thankful that we're twenty weeks tomorrow halfway there. Even though i'm still experiencing morning sickness it just means baby is still growing happy and healthy.

Today I am particularly thankful for my son, who just turns two today!  He's incredibly sweet and uplifting and a joy to be around.  He truly makes everything better.  I could have an awful day full of stress and bad news and coming home to him makes it all ok.  He's my sunshine.

I am thankful that I haven't even looked at the judgement thread because I just couldn't...

Also, I am thankful for my amazing husband who will be spending this weekend moving furniture and painting before carpet is installed next week so we can work on transitioning DS to his big boy room then work on reestablishing a nursery for this baby.

I am thankful for my awesome DH who left super early this morning for a meeting but left me coffee in a thermos so it wouldn't burn in the pot.

I'm also thankful for this board and the fact that for each silly thing that someone says (in the judgment thread or elsewhere) there are a handful of wise, thoughtful mamas and mamas-to-be that provide a reasonable counterpoint.

I am thankful for my beloved terrier who always makes me smile. Now I am going  to go out and walk him with gratitude for all of this.

I'm thankful that I found $300 in the parking lot yesterday and despite waiting around, no one came around looking for it.

I'm sooooo thankful that my mama raised me with compassion and empathy.
I'm thankful that I've seen the things I've seen in life, and this makes me so grateful for everything I have.

I'm extremely grateful that the people I call my friends are not hard core judging me on a website. We are real and honest to each other.

I'm thankful that my children are already rock stars in changing the world, And turning hate into love with others by sharing our own
Personal experiences of being judged.

I'm thankful for extra long pantyliners and doritos.

I am soo thankful for everything I have...my family and friends, health, home, job, peace of mind...I just celebrated 3 year anniversary with DH...and my 1 year old is the biggest gift ever!
Another A/S tomorrow and a wonderful weekend planned (Jay & Bey concert / swim lessons for DD / brunch)! I am a very grateful woman!
And ohh so thankful that my little one is kicking me more often now!!
Also thankful for chocolate cake!

I am thankful for doctors (and health care professionals )and the many many years they devote to their education -- which it turn changes and saves lives. After yesterday encounter with so many of these wonderful souls I'm even more grateful for them:. I owe my pregnancy getting this far to begin win and each day I have with this little one still in me to them.

Also so thankful for my husband who has been a saint this whole pregnancy!! No sex for 34 weeks and caring for a wife on bed test for 24 of those weeks can't possibly be easy.. But he's handling it all like a champ!

I'm thankful today is my Friday, and DH and I are off to California for a quick trip (my ... gulp ... 20 year high school reunion!)  @-)

I'm also thankful for this little guy who keeps kicking me, re-assuring his momma he's doing well. 

I love the frequent kicks so much!

What part of California? Hubby and I both grew up in the bay area (he is also a dieeeeeeharddd Niner fan -- like to the point of it being a problem, and asking my doctor yesterday if we can schedule my delivery on a day the niners don't play, so that he can be mentally and physically present-- id like to think he was kidding but I know there was some truth to all that)

I'm thankful that my Pop is still hanging in there in ICU today.  He's had a rough couple of years and is one of the strongest 82 year olds I know!

I'm also thankful that I get to finally see this LO today at my A/S.  It feels like forever!

I was born and raised in SF ( in NY for 9 yrs now) and when I saw that the Niners were going to be in NY playing the Giants the day after my EDD I was livid for months! Even worse, they are hosting the Seahawks on Thanksgiving and this will be the first Thanksgiving in my life that I am not in the Bay Area due to giving birth earlier in the month! *sigh*

EDIT : Don't know what happened and why this is all underlined???

But this is the THANKFUL Thread so I will say that I am thankful for all the money I will be saving by not going to those two games!

Oh man.. Both of the games you mentioned above would bum us out too!!! Anything related to the Seahawks is a hot topic in my house lol. And cuz I know you can appreciate the cuteness of this... look what hubby got for Father's Day. I can't get over how tiny it is (notice how it fits on my cats head) & can't wait for our newborn photos to use this!!

I am so thankful for the best family I could ever ask for! I am so glad I get to bring my baby I to a world where he will be surrounded by love and support!!

I am grateful that my DH is my best friend in the whole world and he does everything he can to take of my and lo and is so excited to be a father to our son! (So weird to say that!!! But awesome)

I am also extremely grateful to be feeling more constant and stronger kicks! I can actually see my tummy move on the outside sometimes! Ever since I was a little girl I wanted nothing more then to be able to experience pregnancy and be a mom and I am loving every minute and I will never ever take for granted any of this experience!

kristyru03

My husband whom works hard so I can stay at home, our healthy baby boy and all the people that are itching to spoil this baby!! This week for some reason I have been feeling truley lucky that our families are so supportive and excited!

JSwinford

I am grateful that my A/S is today and I'll get some reassurance that all is developing well in there.  I'm grateful that my DH is super supportive even though I can be a crazy bitch because work is stressing me out a lot.  I'm grateful for this board, even though I don't post a lot (because apparently I am a solo attorney now ugh), I enjoy reading about how everyone is doing.  I am extremely grateful that this lil peanut is all kinds of active and that the kicks are more often and soon my DH will get to feel them.

Today I am thankful for this thread for reminding me there is SO much to be thankful for, regardless of what an asshat the baby's father is.

Thanks ladies

ssstephanie214

I'm thankful nobody has called me out for being a half hour late to work every day this week cause I'm hanging out in bed with my active morning baby. These kicks are the most miraculous feeling. I'm amazed by this whole process.

I am thankful for this baby because they are not even here yet and have already improved the quality of my life 100 times over. I am thankful for my darling SO (soon to be secret husband, we are getting our wedding license tomorrow in case anyone has been wondering)

I am also thankful for my self-control regarding some blatant ignorance I have witnessed already this morning. 

Ooo yaaay! Congratulations!

I am thankful for my DH who has been amazing and so patient, he is such a great husband and will be an even better dad. I am also thankful for my mother, that while she is so far away she has been so supportive and sweet during this pregnancy even though she is already spoiling this baby like crazy she is going to be a great grandmother. Finally I am so so so thankful for continuing to have a healthy baby and pregnancy.

Thankful for my scan this morning and a healthy baby!

I'm thankful for...

• Finally getting a reprieve from the MS and having energy. Oh my gosh! These past few weeks I've felt like myself again. I want to do all the things! 
• Our dog, who has been getting me up between 2:30 - 4:00 a.m. to go outside and eat grass every night for the past two weeks, slept through the night last night. Not sure if it's because we let him on the bed and DH was cuddling him all night, but I was able to sleep with only minimal disturbances (like getting up to pee). Sooo thankful! (Going to enjoy sleep while I still can)
• Our garden, which is producing yummy zucchini and a buttload of cherry tomatoes. 
• DH being so interested in this pregnancy. As much as I give him dirty looks for commenting on the size of my growing bump every.single.day., he's so excited for me to be carrying his babies and I love it. Plus he worked his ass off working on the nursery last weekend and didn't even complain, so that was nice. 
• Lastly, I'm excited to get my a/s today! Can't wait to see the babies again and I am keeping my fingers crossed that they are healthy.

I'm thankful for this board and the awesome and supportive ladies on it. I don't think that it's easy to describe the support and encouragement that is given on a daily basis and how important it is, but I definitely see it and feel it. I hadn't needed support myself until today, but the outpouring that I have received is just overwhelming. Sometimes it's hard for the other people in our lives to understand what we're going through or how to help, but the ladies here always know what to say. I heart you all!

I am thankful for my DH. He is an amazing man who loves and supports me in whatever I want to do.

I am thankful for my mom who moved to the city I live just to be near our baby while she grows up. She moved from my childhood home which she lived in for 28 yrs just to be near me. She left her close friends. She left behind all of her memories of my dad. (He has been gone 9 yrs now, but he build so much of my childhood home, that it felt like he was still there.)

I am thankful for my friends who are beyond excited that I am having a baby

I am thankful for my fur babies. I couldn't imagine life without them.

I am thankful for this board. You guys are amazing!

Melodyhay

I am thankful that my sister and I are becoming friends again after many years of not-so-much. Baby has contributed to this in large part. Also grateful for hard-working DH that supports me staying at home despite tight finances. Finally I'm thankful for baby kicks!! God is good!

I'm a little late for sure! I am beyond thankful to be in our own home again. Living without all the added stress has been a weight off! I'm thankful for my husband who always takes on more regardless of his work responsibilities. I'm so grateful he fought as hard as he did to be nothing like his family. I'm so happy for all my friends and the family we do have who are excited for this baby. I'm oh so thankful for you all as well!!! :x
