I am very thankful for any and everyone that has helped up and those who are continuing to help us prepare for the baby's arrival! From baby showers to help with building our closet and painting and fixing the baby room. There is no way we could have done this without them!
I am thankful for FIs family and mine, for all the things they have done and bought for baby already! I'm suuper thankful that FI is so great (he's been scrubbing floors when I am too sore!!) and that we finally have everything ready.
I am so, so thankful for the man I married. I honestly do not think I could find a better man on the planet. He has been so amazing throughout this pregnancy, and I know he is going to be an amazing father.
Sounds strange, but I'm thankful for Pearl Jam fans and citizens of Chicago. We went to a PJ show this past weekend at Wrigley Field, and I was at 36 weeks. Everywhere I went (on the L train, at stores/restaurants, and at the concert itself), so many people kept giving up their seat for me and being really sweet and kind. It was touching!
Im feeling extra thankful for my husband today. He has put up with my increasingly b*tchy attitude, takes my son to his playroom to play the second he gets home from work, wont let me lift anything at all or do much around the house so I can relax and even offered to come home early from work today to help me out because I didnt sleep well. He is such a great dad and I cant wait to see him with a little girl in addition to our wild boy.
I'm super grateful to have my best friend with me. I moved to a new state and have missed having my family and friends close. She surprised me with a visit on Saturday and has been here since. She leaves tomorrow but its been so great having her with me.
I'm super thankful that Friday is my last day working (in the office) until November 1st! I'm an early bird, so I don't mind getting up for work. It's the getting dressed that I hate. Haha.
I'm also thankful for my little baby. Ten months ago, after our miscarriage, I thought that I would never get be a mom. Now, we're only a week and a couple days away from our due date.
"The cleaning, the scrubbing will wait til tomorrow,
For children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.
I'm thankful for my DH. I just woke the poor guy out of a dead sleep with double Charlie horses, and he just rubbed my calves until it was gone, gave me a kiss, and went back to sleep. What a guy.
I'm thankful for the pool in our complex and the awesome pool float we found at WalMart. My butt is going to be parked in the shallow end for most of the day.
I'm also thankful to be one week closer to term. With being PGAL, every week closer to 40 just feels like this huge accomplishment.

"If you're still my small babe or you're all the way grown, my promise to you is you're never alone. You are my angel, my darling, my star...and my love will find you, wherever you are."
I am incredibly thankful for our family and friends who gifted us with everything we needed from our registry for lo. His nursery is complete, and I couldn't be happier.
I'm also thankful for dh. Despite everything, he has been my constant support, telling me I'm beautiful when I feel like a fatty, and taking care of me when I'm miserable. He runs my back each night to help me sleep, and calls randomly during the day to check on me and to tell me he loves me and lo. I'm so lucky to have him in my life.
Thankful for my Mom and DH. They've been way too good to me.
Thankful I finally got my glider and it was all put together last night by DH. It was heavenly. DH almost fell asleep rocking in it. I've been dying for a glider so I'm overly excited.
Thankful I'm feeling great, the sun is shining, and I have my doctor appointment today and am registering for LD!
I am very thankful to have a quiet household again.. at least for a short while longer til LO arrives. )
I'm thankful for late night 4am baths to kill some time in the night.
And I'm soo thankful for my furbabies. They are absolutely wonderful and have been such troopers these past couple weeks. (sounds silly, I know.. but if you could see their faces you'd understand)
Very thankful for my DH who took me to the hospital last night after I was a nervous nelly about too much discharge. He was running on hardly any sleep and was super sweet and supportive. Baby is fine, I am fine. Just more mucus that I am used to and wanted to make sure it wasn't anything more. So thankful everything went well!
I'm thankful for the wonderful employees at my local grocery store. They wouldn't let this preggo do a single thing. They offered to push my cart, load the groceries onto the conveyor belt and bring them out to my car.
I had to decline them several times but everyone generally seemed interested and wanted to make sure I didn't push myself.
Or as DH put it: they didn't want me going into labor in their store. Lol.
Very thankful for DH. He makes fun if me but underneath it I see his concern for me and LO but that he is trying to keep us upbeat these last few weeks.
Also very happy to have less than two weeks of work left
I am so thankful to DH for putting up with my recent emotional spells that usually lead to me whining about him not being sweet enough to me, which isn't at all true.
I'm also so thankful to be so close to meeting this sweet baby, any day now!
I am thankful everything is ready for baby (as ready as its gonna get). I'm thankful for my mom. I can call her with every stupid panic and worry I have and she just listens and calms me down.
I am thankful for the cool weather we have been getting these past 4 days. I have been able to turn off the AC and open all of the windows and let the cool breeze in. It`s been wonderful laying in bed with the wind blowing.
I am also very thankful for Dh and how excited he is to meet his LO. He talks to my belly and kisses it constantly since the beginning. Last night before bed he was saying goodnight to the baby and the baby kept pushing with his/her hand wherever DH was kissing me. It was such a special moment. The baby always wiggles when Daddy talks to him/her, but this was a really special moment. I thought DH was going to cry
As my due date gets closer and closer, I have been feeling overwhelmingly blessed and just very thankful to be so close to meeting our baby boy. After 2 back to back miscarriages and delivering DS1 at 32 weeks I am just amazed that I have made it so far this time!

Same as one of the PP, I am thankful for the break from the heat wave this week. I am also thankful for MH and my family for helping out with everything during this pregnancy.
Im thankful for a pregnancy with no complications so far, and making it to full term with only 3 weeks left! Also for my wonderful DH who is super excited to meet his son.
I'm thankful DH is finally starting to get some work and just landed a job that is going to pay over $3,000 and the guy keeps adding stuff for him to do. We will finally be able to catch up on all the bills and have everything squared away again.
I am also thankful for my BFF who is really more like a sister. She always tells it like it is and isn't afraid to tell all the gory details of pregnancy, labor and delivery. And very thankful her hubby made it back safely from Texas after being gone since about March.
That we have good insurance. With twice a week NSTs, weekly ultrasounds, bloodwork and doctors appointments it is nice to not have to pay for these appointments. My cousin had to pay $100 for each NST she had. Thank you DH for having a good job and having good insurance.
Also for my job, I only work part time and they are so good with working around my appointments.
I am thankful that my extraordinary MIL and her best friend came down for the weekend to scrub my house from top to bottom. I was starting to panic that I wasn't going to get it all done, and they got it taken care of in a day and a half.
I am also very grateful that yesterday, when I wanted a mini sonic blast but couldn't decide between oreo and butterfinger, that my husband came home with one of each for me, so I could eat half and half - plus, now I have another mini blast in the freezer for today!
I am so thankful for my incredibly wonderful and supportive husband. I am so grateful to God that our son will have him as a father. He's been my strength through this entire pregnancy and goes so far above and beyond

I'm also thankful for DH and his ability to power through when something needs to get done.
ETA: I left out some stuff
