I'm thankful for my employer even though I complain about my job all the time. They allow me to come in twice a week but still keep full time status by working some hours from home so I can keep our health insurance. And they pay more me than what I was making before I went on maternity leave.
I'm so incredibly thankful for having had two uneventful healthy pregnancies and two gorgeous, perfect, healthy kids. After that SIDS post earlier this week I have just been so much more aware of what a big deal that all is.
On a lighter note, I am thankful that DH gets back from China tomorrow and he has a new job starting in a couple of weeks (supposedly no more travel! Hooray!).
I am also thankful for coffee. Very, very thankful for coffee.
I am thankful for DH and all he does for our family. He may not help out in taking care of DD in the sense of changing diapers/feeding her/etc. But he works hard at a job he despises so that I can work a few days a week at a job I adore, and so that we can live in a nice apartment with space to move and grow.
I am thankful that DD is starting to figure out sleeping. Last night (4 am) I laid her in her crib and her eyes shot open. So I handed her Ducky (her bff of all the stuffed animals) and she held him tight. I snuck in my room and never heard a peep from the monitor until 6:30.
I am also thankful for coffee. And as I'm out of both K-cups and my backup regular coffee for the regular coffee pot - I feel as though I take coffee for granted some days.
I'm thankful that I finally got "50 Shades of Grey" from the library. I've been on that waiting list since July. Although I'm in the middle of 2 books at the moment (one fiction - one non) since I never have time to read anymore. Maybe I'll start reading them to DD at bedtime instead of Moo Baa Lalala...
I'm thankful that DH fully supports my decision to SAH. I'm thankful that he might be getting promoted soon, which will mean a $5ish per hour raise! We won't have near as much money as we did before but it will sure take some of the financial stress off. I'm thankful that even though our families live over an hour away from us they're still willing to drive to our house if we want to do something on the weekends.

I'm thankful I'm able to stay at home with DD, even on the hard days.
I'm thankful DD is not yet mobile, because I would not enjoy chasing her around the house worrying about what she could get hurt with. Yikes. I know it's coming though.
I'm thankful for wonderful IRL friends who I love dearly.
I am so thankful that I have such a great little boy. I don't get to participate in the not sleeping, refusing to eat, constantly cries, hates bathtime, hates sleeping in his bed, etc posts! I'm sorry if that seems as if I'm "rubbing it in your face", but I read your posts and just feel so bad for you all, because I've not had to deal with those issues. So, for the fact that we've not had these issues, I'm very thankful.
I'm thankful that "work" has gotten off my back. For about a month there, I really felt like they were trying to fire me. I really don't know what was going on, but things have calmed down tremendously! I'm still looking for a new job, I'm in need of a change of scenery, but thankful that things seem to be back to normal.
So very thankful for my family. Words could not describe how awesome they are. When I needed somewhere to live a couple weeks ago, when I left SO, it wasn't even a question as to where I'd go...to my mom's. That's just how we roll, lol! When there's an issue, or someone's in need, we all just pitch in and fix it. I know not everyone has this kind of family, again from reading your posts on here and just because I know this, and it makes me sad for you all but glad at the same time that I do have them.
I'm thankful that ex SO is being civil. My mom and I have talked about it and we both think that he just doesn't know how to be in a relationship. And I guess there are just people out there that don't...and he's one of them. We've talked a few times, he's seen Ian, and he's given me money as he promised. So, we may be better off as friends and Ian's parents than in a relationship with one another. Now, I'm not naive to think that sh!t may not hit the fan at some point, but for now, it's working. And for that, I'm thankful.
I am Thankful that this is Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend ... what a good time to post the thankful Thursday
I am thankful for my parents, honestly I feel like they're my friends because I don't have many friends. They give me a social life and so much support.
I am thankful for my husband and that our relationship has finally started to get back into the groove of the way it was before Gabriel
I am thankful for my son. He is amazing!
