I'm thankful for my husband and my daughter of course, but my parents have really gone above and beyond to be amazing to us and I cannot thank them enough for that.
Also, I am incredibly thankful that after our infertility struggle we have been able to get this far. I cannot wait to hold this little munchkin! It still seems so crazy to me that I was in such a dark place when this year started, and now it is so very different.

Hugs, I was also in a very dark place earlier this year. It's amazing to be sitting here at 33 weeks looking back on our struggles.

We have been trying for this baby, our second, since Jan 2011. I had two miscarriages. we did fertility testing, treatments, pregnancy loss testing. There was a long time I didnt know if we would be able to have a second so Im so grateful our family is becoming a family of four.

Love reading all of these positive posts and reading what you all feel grateful for.

Like many of you, I feel grateful to be here with the baby kicking away at 35+ weeks. I feel grateful that today, we closed on our house. I feel grateful that I have a wonderful, supportive husband whose so excited to be a dad and wants this baby more than anything. I'm grateful I could even get pregnant at all. So many things. Hugs to all of you!

I am very thankful for this little girl. I think she will open my eyes to all sorts of things I have been missing/forgetting as an adult. I think she will bring a wonder back to our lives that has been lacking. I am thankful she will be healthy and a piece of myself as DH. We are leaving a mark in this world and I think that's an amazing blessing that comes with having children.
My DH has been so understanding of my moods during pregnancy. I am really grateful for this. He has been working his butt off to provide a great start to our little lady's life. I couldn't do this without him(in more than one way of course) but he is here.
I had a few rough moments at the beginning of this pregnancy. Alot of insecurities arose that I needed to overcome. I was afraid I would not have a connection with this baby. Last night while I rubbed her back(position confirmes by dr today) and she responded by pressing her back into my hand, I realized I had been wrong all along. I am so thankful for that moment.

That makes me smile

I'm so happy that you have overcome what you needed to and that you now feel a connection with your LO. This is such an amazing thing we are all experiencing right now!

I'm thankful this pregnancy has been relatively easy. My first two were horrible. I keep joking that this kid is going to be my favorite since it's been nice to me so far.

Last year, I had a D&C on October 30th. I spent Halloween in bed recovering. I'm so thankful to so far have had a healthy pregnancy and hopefully a healthy baby. It makes everything we have gone through worth it to have her. And this Halloween I will hopefully be able to dress up and enjoy the day with my kids at school.

Sounds like we are on the same time line

I had mine Nov 1 (spent my birthday recovering) and we are less than a week apart.

Thankful for sure!!!

I'm thankful that I'm a FTM 29 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby girl on the way!
I'm thankful for my family, they have been wonderful throughout my pregnancy! I whine about my mom (a lot) but I'm thankful that she's as excited for her fourth grandchild (2nd granddaughter) as she was for the other three!
I'm thankful for my pain-in-the-butt DH! He drives me crazy but he's going to be the best dad!!

Today, last year a friend of mine gave birth to a beautiful little girl who had spinabifida and only lived for 14 hours. As they celebrated and mourned her today I realized just how blessed me & DH are with 2 healthy LO's and another on the way.

I am thankful for this LO first and foremost. DH and I are really lucky. If you asked me a year ago where I thought we would be now, I wouldn't have an answer...

We got engaged and married last December, started a business, got pregnant and bought a house. We are truly blessed.

So is your birthday the 1st or after? Or are you saying your LOs birthday is the first..? If so I share a birthday with one of you!

As a PEDs nurse and seeing all the things that can go wrong, I am so thankful LO and I have so far been healthy. I am thankful that DH and I are able to and will become parents very soon. I am so thankful we have had the support and experiences in our lives that have led us to this point, of all the things we will be able to give and do for our child. I am thankful for a loving family, especially our own new one.
