Thankful Thursday—2 November

We haven’t done this is a while... What are you thankful for today?

I’m thankful that if I am awake at 5 am, that I have some baby kicks to keep me company.

Ah, I echo @mdfarmchick in being grateful for baby kicks. They feel strange, but it makes pregnancy much more concrete and real and exciting. (;

I'm also grateful news radio reminded me that time changes on Sunday... I have a morning flight that day, and a reminder that it will feel like an hour earlier is important psychological prep.

@gh515 wouldn't it feel like an hour later since we fall back? You get an extra hour of sleep, woohoo!!

I'm thankful that Thanksgiving is only 3 weeks away! Bring on all the food!!!

I am thankful for everything today. Knowing how quick life can change. I am also selfishly thankful for my king size bed alone tonight.

I have so much to be thankful for, but most recently I have been really thankful of the close relationship my three youngest are forming.  They are all three so expressive and it's been so awesome watching them openly show affection to each other.  I wish my oldest had a sibling closer in age for this very reason.  

Also, I am eligible for STD and will get some pay during my leave.  That's exciting and something to be thankful for.

Ha! Add @stlbuckeye132 to my thankful list for pointing out the (obvious) fact that we GAIN an hour, not lose it on Sunday. Pregnancy brain. Thank you, friend.

I'm so thankful for the cooler weather!  And when it freezes, the mosquitoes will go away! Texas is not fun when it's hot, which is pretty much 9 months out of the year...

@pregobeth girl where are you that it’s cooler? It’s 92 today!   

pregobeth

@ShawnnaO It's 78 today between Austin and Houston, but the last few days we've had rain and temps in the high 30's at night and 60's during the day. 

ShawnnaO

@pregobeth I’m not too far from you then, we’re just getting a heat wave in my city  although last weekend was COLD. 

Honestly I’m thankful for the heat. It’s snowing where my parents live. No thanks. 

pregobeth

@ShawnnaO  And now it's 82... Not as bad as 92 though! Yeah, snow is fun for the first day, then it just sucks.

I am thankful for my husband. He's been working really hard on the electric in our house and not allowing me to do anything but, as he says, grow the baby. Then last night I had a really crappy week at work and just broke down and cried for about an hour while he held me, told me it was okay to cry and rubbed my feet. I don't know what I ever did to deserve such a great man.. really.

@pregobeth@shawnnaO I’m looking forward to the cool(er) TX weather. Looks like 90 today but it should cool down mid week next week!

I am thankful for all the peppermint white chocolate that is out now. Keep it coming folks, Christmas food is the best.

I am thankful for the time I am getting to spend with DS1, I will forever be grateful to my husband for allowing me the opportunity to stay home with him!
Also thankful for Christmas music... yep, it's playing at my house!

I am thankful for thoughtful neighbors across the street.  My husband's car broke down earlier this week so we are down to one car now and my husband is gone at work 3 am - 8-10 pm at night/6 days a week.  The husband saw me going to check my mailbox this evening and offered to for them to help me run errands/babysit the kids so if I needed to go anywhere one could take me while one stayed with the kids.  His wife is suffering from some bad back pain and off of work for a bit and they still offered to help.  It's like a 10-15 mile walk to the nearest store from my house and nobody in my family has offered to help knowing this.  I thought it was so kind for them to offer (they don't even know I'm pregnant) and made me tear up the generosity of their kindness.

@syssa-o  Yay! I'm so happy for you!!!!
