~~Thankful Thursday~~

What are you thankful for today?

Cholzmei · September 2011

Today I am thankful for my VERY STABLE core support system, my family and friends. There are some people that I know who don't have much of that, and as a result (and a result of some other things) act like crazy, hurtful people. While I feel sorry for people like that, I'm in the process of cutting those people out of my life for my own sanity, and it feels good. It's the right thing to do.

Charlyne · September 2011

I'm thankful for my MIL. She sent our very first "care package" for baby (whose NN is Pixel) that included bibs, clothes (gender neutral), 3 handmade quilts from her family (one that was DH's as a baby), a baby book for Pixel, and DH's baby book for us to look through and keep.

I literally squeed like a little girl and hugged ziploc enclosed pieces of baby items (which have already been pre-washed with baby safe detergent, so not taking them out of the bags just yet).

I am thankful that I heard heartbeat today and Baby P is a feisty one! I am also thankful that first tri is closing, and I could look forward to more fun parts of pregnancy!

I am also thankful that DH is working late tonight, so there will be no one to complain about watching Project Runway.

I am thankful that aquatic therapy seems to be helping and I'm starting to feel a little bit better finally. Until the past few days, I had been waking up 1-2 hours before I could take my next dose of Tylenol and laying there until I could take more. Last night, I went to bed about 3 hours before my Tylenol was supposed to wear off and I slept through the whole night without waking up for more. So I missed a whole dose and didn't feel like I was dying when I woke up. Yay for little victories!

I'm also really thankful that MH was able to be off work with me for a while and take care of me and keep me company. I'm sad he had to go back to work, but it was nice while it lasted.

I am so thankful for my DH. He has been nothing short of amazing through the awful first tri stuff. He encourages me to nap when I'm tired and makes sure I'm comfortable and that the pup leaves me alone (apparently my stomach is his new favorite place to stand). He has picked up a lot of my slack around the house without complaining and mostly without me even having to ask. He is constantly asking if there is anything he can do, get me, make for me, etc that will help me to feel better or make me more comfortable. I feel so lucky that he is so understanding and compassionate, especially while I'm feeling so miserable.

And, I'm thankful that I'm close to the end of the first trimester! I can't wait to be rid of this nausea, constipation and exhaustion!

pink100 · September 2011

I am thankful that it has stopped raining today and the sun is starting to shine so that my basement can be free of water once again. It seriously needs to stop raining in the northeast! I look out my front window and cant even believe my grass is yellow and dead bc it didnt get enough water this summer!

texasweetea · September 2011

i'm thankful that the spotting i had earlier in the week was a one time thing and it didnt' continue. even though it was old blood it still freaked me out so i'm glad i'm not dealing with it anymore. And i'm thankful that DH was super supportive though it.

McGibbon51311 · September 2011

I'm thankful [again] for my husband who is beyond supportive and is so incredibly excited for these babies. He has his moments where he is worried about financials, space, and the cost of diapers lol, but he works through it and lets his joy of becoming a father matter more. On days where I feel completely worn out and am ready to just give up, he stays excited enough for the both of us. We spend our nights together going through names or reviewing products to add to the registries and he is really looking forward to being a part of our first baby shower (with his family) next month, since I asked to do a Jack and Jill shower.

I'm also really grateful that I finally found a new office with two midwives (yah!). I have my first appointment with them at the end of the month and I am so happy to be switching from my current OB.

greengirl0909 · September 2011

Today I am thankful DH is getting ready to transfer to a new job. He wasn't having much success at the old one and he was feeling really down about it. This one means better, more affordable insurance for us and better hours for our family.

Charlyne · September 2011

I'm also thankful for my (male) boss that I can talk to about being pregnant, breastfeeding, and pumping. He has 3 boys and his wife is a nurse.

laurenbowman · September 2011

So thankful that even though my pregnancy is high-risk (I have type 1 diabetes), I have amazing doctors that watch over me and babes closely. Which also means that I have been seeing babes about every other week, I definitely can't complain about that.

Also thankful for my wonderful support system. My family and my in-laws have been great, as has DH. They all make this as least stressful as possible.

Mrs_MBed · September 2011

I am thankful that the headache I woke up with took a break and let me enjoy DD1's gallery opening at school. I was wonderful to walk into her building and see her artwork displayed She loves to draw and paint, so it was great to see her work being acknowledged.

Also, I am grateful that my professors are very laid back, making the two hardest classes in my Master's program not as scary/stressful as I thought they were going to be.

Wifey1012 · September 2011

I am thankful I work for DH. When I don't feel good I don't have to worry about leaving early!

andreajd818 · September 2011

I am thankful for 15 weeks today (!), each and every day that I get to spend with this little one, and that I didn't vomit this morning!

I am thankful for my husband, who is getting better every day and who will unconditionally make me macaroni & cheese whenever I ask for it. I am thankful for my family, who love and support me no matter how neurotic I am acting!!!

lulling · September 2011

I am thankful that my work pants are actually fitting again. Strange. I think that the bloat finallllllly went away. Just about a week before the bump will come probably. That's OK though. I am just glad that I don't feel like I am full of air anymore.

kellyalaurens · September 2011

I am thankful for DH! He is so excited about this baby and is doing whatever he can to make things easier for me and never complains. He helps out around the house, cleans, cooks, and does whatever I need him to do and still works 60+ hours a week. On nights he is home before me he will start whatever we are having for dinner so dinner can be ready when I get home from work. I can't imagine doing this with anyone else! I am also thankful that as of today I am off pelvic rest as long as I have no more complications!!!

Thall5 · September 2011

I am thankful for DH, he is really supportive. Yesterday I spent the whole day in the bathroom or sleeping on the couch. He let me sleep, and made sure that I had a cool washcloth each time I was throwing up. I am also thankful that LO is growing well, and that I am not is school yet, couple more weeks, I don't think I would have made it lately.

Lanatir · September 2011

I am thankful that the Packers are playing tonight! Gotta teach the LO early about which team to cheer for! (With no cable we unfortunately don't get enough college games where I live, so almost no games of Nebraska to teach LO about them... It will have to wait.) Super excited for football season to really kick off!

kiarstin · September 2011

Ultra Sounds, I have another on Monday and haven't been able to sleep. I just dont fee pregnant and am worried something is wrong. Its completely irrational but I cant help it. And my husband for putting up with me!

sarahinthecity10 · September 2011

Thankful that I work for my father and have a flexible schedule which allows me to come in late and leave early if I'm not feeling well. Actually thinking about heading home in a little bit for a nap.................

kmiller1012 · September 2011

I'm thankful this week is almost over. We are out in Indianapolis (for DHs work) and get to go home tomorrow for a week. Also it will be the first time in 3 weeks that DH has had a day off of work.

slocke07 · September 2011

Today, I am thankful that my NT scan is tomorrow morning and that I'll get to see my LO again!! :-) I'm also thankful that my for my new principal. My previous one was not the greatest and the new one has really stepped up and done a lot in a short amount of time. It's nice to finally work for a principal that seems to have all his ducks in a row!!
