Thanksgiving Fun

ivyvines6

I always do this thing on Facebook, where I post what I'm thankful for every day from the first of November through Thanksgiving. I thought this would be a good idea here too! Just post what day we're on, and what you're thankful for. I'll start:

Day 1: I'm grateful for my fiancé. He is literally my rock, and the ONLY person who gets me.

Day #1: I'm thankful DH let me sleep in as we had DD out at a Halloween party last night until 10:30 and she didn't get to bed until 10:45 (her bedtime just recently got moved back from 7:30 to 8...) because I do not have one of those kids who falls asleep when she's out if she gets tired enough, she was on GO the entire time. And woke at 6:30. So thank you for letting me keep sleeping DH!!!

I am grateful to be be going through this pregnancy with the most caring and attentive husband ever. Thank you, Steven. Couldn't do this without your support. ^:)^

Although we are still in the icu, I am thankful my son (who has pneumonia) is showing signs of improvement so hopefully we can go home soon!

October was a very stressful month for me, work related. I am so happy and thankful that November is here. My favorite month of the year!

I'm thankful for DH giving the dog a bath today. She weighs a good 40ish pounds and had to be carried to the bathtub. She decided to try to dig a hole to China while she was outside today...and of course it's been raining all weekend. Athena isn't terrible with baths, but I got to sit around while he worked.

Photos for giggles, because I won't be smiling when I clean the sliding door. Also because the cat is a smug asshole and my pets are how I entertain myself.

I'm also thankful for a kick ass husband. He woke up with our son this morning, got us all breakfast, drove me around to many car dealerships because I'm so indecisive, and is currently bathing our overtired, sugar overloaded 2.5 year old. Love going through life together as a team. :x

Love this thread !!!!
I am incredibly thankful for the blessing and opportunity to be able to carry a child and have a healthy pregnancy. It truly is a miracle. I'm also thankful for my wonderful family and my boyfriend who's absolutely amazing.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Thankful for my little one that's healthy and active. Last year was a rough one for DH and I, our little girl is a true blessing esp. after our loss this Spring. I'll be thankful every week till we meet our little one.

Day 2: Today I am thankful for fried pickles. And that I can have them delivered to my door. (Why yes, I am pregnant! Thank you )

Edit: Because typing is hard

Day 2: I'm thankful for my step son, and him teaching me how to be the best mommy. We usually get him whenever we ask for him and he is my little sunshine. I can't wait for his little brother to be here in April!

Day 2: thankful for DS. I couldn't imagine my life without him and barely remember my life before him. I couldn't be more thankful that God chose me to be his mother.

Day 2: I'm thankful for DH, yesterday while i was sleeping (i work night shift) he did all our laundry as well as raking up all the leaves in our yard.

Day 2: I'm thankful for DH. For all the wonderful things that he normally does, and just how he is literally the perfect match for me (he keeps me grounded...lol) but also because yesterday, he cleaned the house doing all of my regular cleaning that I do daily because I mentioned in the morning how I wasn't feeling great. He cleaned both bathrooms (which I usually do with green cleaner and he finishes with the bleach), vacuumed, mopped, dishes (TWICE!), AND finished making dinner (ok, basically did all of it because all I did was get the rice started on the stove) while I got DD ready for bed. Also, with his help we got all the laundry done, folded, AND put away on the same day! The past month we have done laundry each weekend and one of us has left the clothes basket unfolded all week. So yay us!

Day 3: Thankful for my mom who totally understood when I uninvited her to come stay while DH has a conference, so I could go with him and have one last trip with fancy restaurants and spitup-free clothes before LO arrives.

Thankful for the super-cheap first class upgrades I got when booking said trip!

Catching up (because I think this is a beautiful idea!):

Day 1: I was thankful for good results: no cancer in any of the lymph nodes they removed from my grandma's breast, and they think they got the whole tumor. So far, it's been the best possible outcome of a miserable situation.

Day 2: I was thankful for my husband, who treats my entire extended family like he's been one of them since birth. Not only did he insist on coming with me when I wanted to take a day trip down to see my grandparents ("They're my family too!"), he put himself to work immediately when he walked through the door. He talks about my relatives all the time, with the same love and admiration with which he talks about his own family; he's already plotting Christmas gifts and family gatherings for the future.

Day 3: I'm grateful that there's a Cinnabon in Ogilvie Transportation Center for me to hit up on my way to work every morning. YUM.

Omg I miss cinnabon so much! I went like everyday when I lived in ABQ, but alas, my small town has yet to experience the glory that is cinnabon. Great news about your grandma too!

I hadn't eaten there in YEARS before I got pregnant, but baby loves cinnamon rolls and these are my best option in the area.  I may grab another one on my way home. That one is for you!

And thanks... just keeping our fingers crossed now that the rest of the news we're waiting on is also positive. Cancer sucks, man.

Day 3: I'm thankful for the sheer joy my DD has to see me when I pick her up at daycare. Nothing else makes a bad day go away like when she sees me from across the room, shrieks "MAMA!" and drops whatever she's doing to run into my arms and throw her arms around my neck :x Seriously, NOTHING in the world is better. That kid may drive me absolutely insane sometimes, but her joy for life is intoxicating.

Day 4: I'm thankful for US machines! Such a magical experience seeing our little baby girl... I'm in awe each time we get a glimpse!

Day 4: I'm definitely thankful for my dogs. They really are mans best friend! As soon as DH leaves for work they jump up on the bed and sandwich me. Then wake me up at 7:30am to take them out to pee lol they're just like kids. The small one keeps my bump warm and the big one keeps my back warm lol
I really hope they do well one baby comes!

shawnacrest

Like a few others have said, I'm thankful for this snuggle bug. He never leaves my side so he may be a bit jealous when the baby gets here lol

Day 4: I'm thankful for my second little GIRL growing strong and that everything looked great at our anatomy scan today!!!

AGK2015

Day 4: I'm thankful for the next generation! My husband's best friend and his wife are about to have their second child.  My dear friend who lost her little girl at 20 weeks last year after years of TTC is 8 weeks pregnant now (HALLELUJAH!!!! I may have gotten more excited about her first ultrasound and that strong, healthy heartbeat than I did about my own!). I just found out that another good friend's brother and his wife are expecting in May. All of these people are practically part of our extended family, and it's so exciting to think about all these babies growing up together. I'm hopeful that they'll grow the same sort of strong friendships with each other that their parents already have!

Awesome news! Cancer sucks - I hope your grandma bounces back quickly. It sounds like there won't be a shortage of people around her for help and support!

Day 5: I'm thankful my mom and food network taught me how to cook. I have no idea how I would have faired up til now if not for this!!!

BrittnyS10

Day 4: I'm thankful that DH lets me get away with only working part time

Day 5: I'm thankful that tonight is date night with DH so I don't have to cook supper!

Day 5: I'm so thankful for my MIL who helps us when we need it and seriously spoils us! Our dryer broke, so she has been taking our clothes and washing and drying them for us. She also cooks dinner anytime we go to see her. She's the best mom, grandma and MIL!
*edit because I never proof read before I post.

Time to catch up:

Day 2: I'm thankful for my experiences in the military and the people I've met. Meeting people from so many walks of life has helped open my eyes and has forced me to become a warmer, more understanding person and I'm proud of that trait's development.

Day 3: I'm thankful for this forum. I am not close to my family and have a difficult time trusting people/making friends. People love talking to me about their problems and I love helping by lending an ear or giving advice, but they rarely stick around. TB has given me an outlet for so many things that weigh on my mind and it feels good to have support, even if it's from people I'll never meet.

Day 4: I'm thankful for DH because he makes me feel connected to LO. He kisses and snuggles my belly every morning before I go to work and texts me regularly throughout the day asking how "his bean" is doing. I'm hoping to feel more connected when I can feel baby move, but we shall see.

Day 5: I'm thankful for my mom, despite our differences. Today is her 59th birthday! There are many, many things we don't agree on, but I hope I can be as enthusiastic and involved with my own children (both blood and step-kids) as she always was with us and still is with her grandkids.
