Thankful for Thursday

diagonalley · January 2014

No throatpunching for me today ladies, still not feeling it $:\$ So those who would like, let's share things we are thankful for!

diagonalley · January 2014

I would like to say that I am thankful for being able to get a good amount of sleep last night and for the first time in several days not having horrific dreams. I dreamt I had a cat that had babies with a dog. One came out a cat, one came out a dog, and one came out a catdog.

I am also thankful for all of you ladies, because I really feel we have come together as a support system to those who need it. And honestly, isn't that why some of us are getting stabby at these drive bys, more than usual? We're defending our own, that's all.

crhein26 · January 2014

I'm thankful for this board and all of the awesome ladies who are going through this new journey with me and who give great advice! Sometimes we all need a little kick in the butt when it comes to our thoughts and you ladies have definitely helped me realize all of the important things that comes along with being pregnant.

I'm also thankful for my DH who is always thinking of me and LO. He gets the best daddy award already!

pcourtade · January 2014

I'm thankful that my family and I woke up healthy and happy. That my DS just walked into our room with his play swords and woke us up because he wants to play with his daddy.

. I'm thankful that our little Betty Jean is kicking up a storm to let is know that she's happy and that maybe it's time for mommy to get out of bed and make pancakes!

babygabe614 · January 2014

I'm so thankful for my mom and DH. I have very little family but the two of them have been so helpful and supportive without pushing my boundaries... it's been great. My mom is like my own personal Bob Vila and has helped me finish all the updates and renovations in our house lately which has been such a huge relief, as well.

chaysefaith · January 2014

I'm thankful for my wonderful boyfriend. He has been my rock throughout the past month, and now that it's over he continues to be so solid. He has made himself emotionally available to me while taking on the roll of Mr. Mom and, quite honestly, doing more around the house than I have done all month. It's funny, I wouldn't be in this situation without him, and I couldn't get through it without him.

Edit to add: I'm also thankful for all of my friends, both in real life and in this wonderful community here. I don't know how I would get through without having a place to tell my story and without my friends who have texted me nonstop just to say they love me, knowing they won't be acknowledged. I came home from the hospital to flowers sent by both friends and family, to wonderful neighbors who accepted our flowers for us while we were not home to receive them ourselves, and to two wonderful, beautiful children who are here with hugs.

hscoggins · January 2014

I am thankful for my hard working, devoted and compassionate husband. He busts his butt to make sure I am happy and comfortable on top of his usual responsibilities and he never complains. He is definitely my rock and I'm so happy to have snagged such a keeper.

I'm also thankful for the support and reassurance the women on this board provide! My family doesn't live close by and I feel like my H gets the brunt of all things pregnancy related so it is nice to come on here when I need a pick-me-up or reality check.

colllydon · January 2014

I am thankful for my DH. Even though he won't be home for another month he makes sure I never feel alone. He text me every morning and says "good morning my loves" and every night "goodnight my girls" (me the dog and the baby) along with continuous calls just to check in throughout the day.

amackattack · January 2014

I have been majorly stressing about our reveal party on Sunday....basically because it's a combined super bowl party and there will be about 20 people there which always stresses me out. But no more! I'm thankful there are that many people that even give a dang what the sex of our baby is.

I'm also thankful for my sister who has been sending me rental options this morning for our lake vaca this summer! Really awesome that she's taking the initiative to look into planning it.

winterstar1 · January 2014

I am thankful for my husband. He has always been wonderful, but the moment we found out we were having a baby, he somehow became even more amazing. He does everything in his power to take care of me and make me happy, and I've never seen him more excited than when he's looking up stuff he plans to get for our daughter. He's going to be such a great daddy.

I'm also thankful for this board. I'm not on here very often, but when I am, I'm always truly in awe of what a supportive and informative community it is. You ladies have taught me so much and I really appreciate having a place like this to turn to, especially when most of my family lives 12 hours away, so thank you

katekat8721 · January 2014

I am so, so thankful that after 2+ years of infertility (and all the shit that comes with that) we are finally having our little girls this summer.

I am thankful for my husband, who during those two years I've grown closer to than anyone else. He's my best friend and my soul mate and I kinda lurve him.

I'm thankful for all my family and so thankful that the girls will grow up surrounded by love. Some crazy people, but loving crazy people!

I'm thankful for the IF and the June '14 boards. You guys are awesome and way cheaper than therapy xo.

erind228 · January 2014

I am thankful for my supportive husband. He helps so much around the house and with the kids. I don't know what I would do without him. I am thankful that my family is happy and healthy. I am also thankful for you girls. I always lurked on my BMB prior to this. I didn't know how invested I would become in each of your lives.(Not in a creepy way.) I truely appreciate the humor and support that I take away on a daily basis from all of you.

JulieSmiles · January 2014

I'm thankful for the amazing amount of support that I have, at my workplace, home, here, family, everything. I know if I need anything, I have a huge amount of people who are willing to help me out without thinking twice about it.

jshrop · January 2014

I'm thankful for the quiet time early in the morning. The time after hubs leaves for work and before I get ready for the day, where Charlie is letting me know that she's awake and hungry in there. I can't wait to be holding her during this morning time and smelling her sweet baby smell.

momof5sept18 · January 2014

I'm thankful for my amazing DH, he's always been great but he always manages to top the day before, after bustin' his butt all day at work, he comes home to help take care of the boys, and I. And he always cleans the house, especially since I can hardly move, he's picked up my slack around the house cleaning wise.

Also, I'm beyond thankful for this board. Everyone is so helpful, caring, and always here for one another with love and support for each other. I don't talk to but one family member on my side, and five on DHs side, on a regular (usually weekly) basis and have no friends. But this board is the best and gives me tons of support, and help because its always nice having support and other pregnant ladies to pass the day by with.

kimberly11511 · January 2014

I am thankful for finally being pregnant after trying for 3 years. I am thankful for being seizure free so far while being pregnant. I am thankful for my wonderful husband who no matter how bad his day, always tries to make sure mine is wonderful.

I am also thankful for a job opportunity that has opened up, it may not be the best time for a new job, but at least the offer is there.

Abrownbailey · January 2014

I'm thankful for a hard working husband, a loving family, encouraging friends, a supportive bump community, and a precious little baby in June!

misscarter87 · January 2014

Thankful to see another day..im thankful for DH..DD..my family..my in laws and my really great friends!!! Good health..&my job!

tbmadeamistake · January 2014

I'm thankful for the support I get from my family, my friends, and this board. I'm thankful that I get to spend time with my entire family this weekend. I'm thankful that I have a husband who truly understands what pregnancy does to me and is willing to keep loving me through the ups and downs. I'm thankful for having a house, clothes, food, and transportation within easy reach. I'm thankful for the health of my family and the way we bond together if that health is threatened/fails. I'm thankful for my rootbeer.

kellyjayne · January 2014

I am thankful for DH...he is one of the most intelligent, hard-working people that I know. He busts his ass every day to make me happy, works so hard to excel at his job, and is continually working towards building an amazing life for our family. He is also my emotional rock - this pregnancy was a huge, unplanned surprise for us, and when we found out, I was scared and in shock. After losing my mom and getting married in the six months before we found out, I was an emotional trainwreck, and I honestly thought I couldn't handle any more emotions. He knows how to calm me down and has helped me deal with so many of my feelings...the last year would have been almost impossible to survive without him.

I am so thankful for this surprise baby, even though I was terrified at first. This little guy has helped our family, especially my dad and I, move forward through a very sad time in our life and focus our energy on a new blessing.

I am thankful for my huge support system - both here and in real life. Every day is easier knowing that we have so many people who truly care about us and would do everything in their power to help us.

A non-sentimental one...I am thankful that there is only two more months of winter. Please bring on the spring and summer sunshine.

Runningmomfam · January 2014

I'm thankful for all of you ladies! You are so supportive and it's great to have a place to connect with other mamas. I'm also thankful that I had a day off yesterday and tomorrow is Friday! I'm thankful for my funny and supportive husband and my litle clown of him son. Love my boys and baby girl in my belly

we are a truly blessed family! We also have a babymoon planned in Maui in a month! I'm also thankful for my new therapist. Love her and need it to be the best me.

MrsP419 · January 2014

I am thankful for DH and how he has more than taken over caring for our house since I have gotten more physically limited.

I am thankful that DH and I get to go away for a long weekend tomorrow. It has been SO long since we had more than 2 days together. I cannot wait to spend time with him! And I am grateful for my parents for not only being close and willing to watch DD and DS, but also for wanting to make their big sleepover FUN!

I am thankful for my church family who has really helped with rides and babysitting to my many long and far appointments.

I am thankful that I have a hairdresser friend who cuts my hair for free since it is a luxury I cannot afford.

I am thankful for DD being so sweet and loving these days, constantly coming up to me to say "I love you, mommy." I am thankful that though DS is going through a tough phase (coughterribletwoscough), he is still a big goofy snuggle bunny.

I am thankful my twin babies who have already turned my life more than I thought possible, and are already teaching me about letting go and what is important.

coffee89 · January 2014

I am thankful that I have a loving husband that comes home to me every night. That he checks in on me during the day and that he helps me around the house at night even if I've been home all day and should have done the chores myself. I'm thankful that he is so involved in my life.

I am thankful for our families. Our parents have been a huge help to us while we were getting on our feet and never once made us feel bad or put us down for our decisions as a couple. They are always a phone call or visit away an I know my family would do anything for us in a heartbeat.

I'm thankful for waking up this morning. That this morning I'm still pregnant and that my family is safe and healthy.

I'm thankful for all of the people here giving support to each other.

I'm thankful my pregnancy has been uneventful.

bebemac · January 2014

I'm thankful for my health, my H, my LO, my cats, the roof over my head, having a warm bed to sleep in at night, hot showers, the food in the pantry, and my job.

SecondTimeinMSU · January 2014

I am thankful for having a happy and healthy family. Especially that my parents are returning home from their cruise today and it was a great healthy one not the sick bay one since they really deserve a break for how hard they work.

chickpea912 · January 2014

I'm thankful for having escaped Atlanta yesterday, even if the snow plotted against me so I couldn't hang out with @flerlgirl and @meladoriestar. Biggest disappointment ever.

I'm also thankful no one turned into a zombie while we were stuck on the highway. Definitely a bonus.

And most of all, I am thankful that DH and M came and surprised me at the airport yesterday - I had a feeling he might do it (I parked at the airport, so it wasn't like I needed him to drive nearly an hour to pick me up), and I love that he knew how much it would mean to be. And it was a long emotional day, so after getting teary as the gate agent acknowledged veterans boarding our airplane, I had no hope but to cry when I saw them.

And yes... that is my H in the background, on his phone. I should have had him get in the photo with me - I was too focused on M.

shellbell813 · January 2014

I live in Birmingham, and I am so thankful that I only live 2 miles from my work and was able to make it (after 2.5 hours and a bit of a hike) home on Tuesday. I am also thankful that all my family was either out of town or already home when all the nonsense started! And that I didn't have to sleep with this prego belly on the floor at my office, like so many of my coworkers did.

elsa1688 · January 2014

Thankful to be able to enjoy this pregnancy. Thankful for my bf, who is really pretty amazing. Thankful for June 14 - you ladies are all pretty amazing.

LEO2010 · January 2014

I'm thankful for our board- that we have just the right amount of sweet, snarky, and supportive. I'm thankful it gives me other ladies to share my pregnancy- good and bad- with!

I'm also thankful for GIFS in all shapes and sizes. They make me happy

kibean · January 2014

This is really heavy, but I need to say it after the way this week has been.

Three years ago this week, we almost lost my (at the time 17 year old) sister to a horrible, unprovoked, violent act. She had befriended a male student at her school and tried to help him without knowing that he was mentally ill. One night, out in public, and for no reason, he stabbed her multiple times, including once straight through her eye. Through only the grace of God and two young bystanders who jumped in to save her, she lived and retains some sight in her eye (shapes and light mostly).

I am so thankful to her two heroes. I am thankful for the doctors who did her surgeries and the ones that will continue to repair her eye and hands when needed. That she has the strength to face all of her struggles with a positive attitude. I am thankful that the man who did this is in prison for 20 years and she doesn't have to look over her shoulder for him. I am thankful that she has found forgiveness, though I cannot say the same for myself. Most of all, I am thankful to have my sister alive and I know that my son will have the BEST role model of an aunt to look up to.

Oh my god, @kibean , that is intense! Thank God she survived!

She really is the strongest woman I know.

ETA: Also, sorry for dropping that on everyone. I don't normally talk about it because it is just not a great topic for me, but when I think of things I am grateful for, that is pretty much number 1 on my list.

Please don't apologize! That's your truth. And we're your friends.

Gah! you girls make me laugh AND cry

k318 · January 2014

I am thankful for cheese (thanks gifs now I will be putting cheese on whatever I eat for dinner) and I am thankful for burritos. Seriously. I need a cheesy yummy steak burrito for dinner.

Now for my non starving pregnant girl thankfuls...

I am thankful for my family. Nothing makes me happier than my dh, son and dog. I'm sure this dd on her way will just make it even sweeter. And my h for picking me up from work when I get out and taking me out for a burrito on our way home

momof5sept18 · January 2014

@kibean don't apologize, you have every right to say that as what you're thankful for because its a God given miracle she is here.
Also, I'm thankful you still have your sister and your LO has an amazing aunt to look up to, also, I cried some. So touching how she's pulled through, found forgiveness, and still remains positive after all her trials and tribulation.
*Hugs!*
I love my June'14 Family!!

kibean · January 2014

@mommy23munchkins Thank you so much for the support. It truly is humbling to see what she and others have gone through and have come out stronger for it (including many of the ladies of June 14). I am also very grateful for all of the support on this board.
