What are you grateful for?

What are you grateful for in your pregnancy so far? I can put together a list (guess I'm grateful for a lot, that's good, right?!):
Only one session of vomiting during the MS stage
No breast leakage (yet)
Still have control over my bladder when sneezing/coughing (for now)
My reasonably-sized bump that's not sticking-out all in front yet (I boast a roomy interior, apparently!)
No pregnancy brain (yet)
No abnormal test results (knock on wood!)
Baby finally co-operated and we were able to find out the gender at our A/S!
No cramping or spotting (again, knock on wood!)
Two lovely SILs who are planning my baby shower!
No net weight gain (still at my pre-pregnancy weight, would like to stay there!)
Semi-regular bowel movements (even if I do have to drop everything I'm doing and run for the bathroom when I feel the slightest twinge of needing to "go") .. they could be a bit smaller/softer, though!
The fact that everyone's been really pleasant and positive about my pregnancy so far - no horror stories, no rude comments, and hardly any uninvited belly rubs (I've had one, from my SIL's MIL who's a sweetheart, so no harm done!)
Overall, I feel like pregnancy hasn't been as terrifying of a journey as I thought it might be at this stage. Obviously the worst is yet to come, but I'm trying to focus on how lucky I've been thus far!
So, who's next?

WOW still at your pre-preg weight gain! that's amazing.
I am thankful that I am not gaining weight in my ass or thighs and that my arms still look fabulous
And of course for a healthy baby, no MS, and a pretty easy pregnancy so far. No complaints!
Thankful I have been able to keep up with my pilates 5-6 times a week.
