Thankful Thursday

What do you have you be thankful for today? 

Especially, If you can... What can you find in the midst of your current struggles to be thankful for?

My house is a disaster zone... I have no energy to clean it, and feel like the worst sahm ever.... In this: I see I'm blessed to have a house, I'm blessed to be able to stay at home with my daughter, I'm thankful for the messy dishes that mean we have food, and the pile of laundry because we have clothes. 

And I'm striving to be thankful for the nausea and vomiting that means I am blessed to have a new baby on the way.

My side of the family is a bit of a mess with drama and issues lately, but trying to remember to be thankful that I have such a large family and that as long as we are arguing it means we are talking, and as long as we are talking, we are working towards fixing things.

I'm thankful that my job is so relaxed during the campus summer break, thankful to dress down and relax a bit, and just so thankful to be pregnant.  Going through IF I see so many ladies still in the trenches after all these years, and I'm so thankful that I have my DD and that we were blessed with another successful cycle

I'm so thankful for my DH. He's awesome, supportive, and really understanding. He's been so helpful when I'm feeling terrible.

I came home from work yesterday around 5:30 PM and went straight to bed.. in my work clothes. Husband ordered dinner, brought me some in bed, I ate it, fell back asleep until 1:30 AM, changed out of my work clothes, and went back to bed until 6:30 this morning. He did everything last night: took care of our pup, received and put away our CSA delivery from our farmer, took care of dinner, went to the gym with my brother. I am SO thankful for him.

I'm thankful for my break from morning sickness yesterday. I actually got some things done. 
I'm also thankful that it came back today in a much lighter fashion because the sudden loss of it after it being so horrible was scary. Man, pregnancy is stressful.

I'm thankful that my morning sickness has subsided a little these past two days. I am also thankful for my husband, my family and friends, and the baby who's on their way!

I am thankful that DH took DS's first two wakeups last night, and I got to sleep until 4am! 

(Sometimes babies don't sleep their entire first year - FYI FTMs)

I am thankful for these 2 little miracles growing inside me. Praying for happy and healthy babies for all of us.

Thankful for my health, my sweet husband who is going out of his way to take care of me. my sweet puppy who is clingy lately and loves to lay his head in my lap and just stare at me.

fyi: all these thankful notes is making me really emotional love it all

Selling our home and being able to stay with family while we continue the search! Most thankful for the heartbeat we heard at the Dr. yesterday!

@KellyT22 hate to break it to you, but it can last a lot longer than that....says the mom of a 4yo who still has a tendency of crashing in our bed in the middle of the night

@MrsNap_515 Same here. And he's almost 5.

I'm thankful DH was diagnosed with simple dry eye today and not something more serious since he has some family history of blindness. Very relieved and now I get to sound like the "For clear eyes..." guy

I'm feeling thankful my 3yo is finally starting to sleep most her nights, I can handle 2 wake ups a night but any more was killing me. 

Reading over what you ladies do for a living was making me feel a little underachieved, but when I think about it, I'm really thankful to have a decent paying job that allows me to work part time while getting paid full time. Some people are not fortunate enough to find work at all, and I'm grateful for mine.

stuck in the grey box. 


but... Small horror story. DD, used to wake up on average 15 times a night until she was 2! I used to track her wake ups and it was BRUTAL, I shit you not, 15 times a night. Some nights would vary and be 5 times(this was a good night).. 8 times etc... But when she hit 2, it was more like 4 times a night and I felt that was amazing! Now at 3yo, she wakes about 2 times a night and the odd night 3-4 times. 

Awesome times to be had!

Thankful for a visit today from my oldest friend who moved to the US. And also for DH who made us dinner and is being super understanding of my preggo weirdness.
