For one it is not Monday! My current one is DH went through all the extra effort to put a ceiling fan in the spare bedroom/future nursery. I'm easy like that
I'm thankful for my family, friends and health. I'm thankful the weather in NYC is finally beautiful! I'm thankful that I passed my glucose 3 hr test last week!!! and I'm thankful that I am going to my favorite restaurant for dinner tonight...can't wait for the lobster mac & cheese!!!!!
I'm thankful for my recent attitude change. I usually tend to be negative and antisocial but lately I've been in a great mood and happy to socialize. This baby is making me a more positive person!
Also, we had a bad ant problem for a few days but it's under control now. Definitely super thankful for that!
Im so thankful for DD. She is such a joy and was so good yesterday!
Im thankful for DH and even after an 11hour hard labor work day yesterday, still came home and played with DD outside for a long time. I love watching him with her. It is the sweetest. :x
I'm so very thankful that I FINALLY felt my baby girl move on Sunday for the first time. She kicked so hard she moved DH's hand. Seeing how he reacted to it was awesome too. :x
I am so thankful to have a job that allows me to take sick time when I am out for maternity leave.
I am thankful that it is almost summer vacation!
I am thankful for my mom lately because even though she makes me crazy, she is so super excited about baby, and it is nice to have someone besides DH to share it with.
Lots and lots more but I am feeling in a pretty good mood today
I am thankful for my wonderful DH, I couldn't imagine life without him. He is going to be an amazing daddy and I am so grateful we are having a baby! He is my rock.
Also grateful for my incredible job, my home and all of the people in my life. And so grateful for all of those little baby kicks! Pretty sure there is a disco party in my belly, and I love every minute!
I am thankful to be blessed so far with a healthy pregnancy. After seeing the stories of so many of you ladies having struggles it really puts things into perspective for me and makes me that much more appreciative of this pregnancy and the things you ladies have gone through! I'm also thankful for DH who can still make me feel like the sexiest woman in the room, even when I feel like a whale. He's denied it so far, but I'm pretty sure he's already gone. Little girl has him wrapped around her finger. The look on his face when she kicked him, I'll remember that forever. Last I'm so thankful for my parents and my IL's. We are so fortunate to have such amazing supportive parents. They are so over the moon about this baby, mailing random baby toys and outfits and showing up to paint the nursery because I can't do the paint smell. It makes me want to cry just thinking about how amazing they are!
I am thankful for everything my husband does for me. I'm thankful that I am recovering well (slowly, but well) from the surgery. I'm thankful that Nemo is a fighter like her momma, I was so scared of losing her when I got sick. I'm thankful that even though some lovely people decided I was not a good fit in my previous office (while I was recovering from brain surgery), I had a lot of people in my corner that fought for me and got me into the office I came from. I'm thankful for everything. I'm a glass half full kinda girl.
I am thankful that my DH was around last night to kill the giant bug with dozens of legs that somehow got into the bathroom.
I am also thankful that he puts up with me when I am a huge bed hog and claim that he is "on my side," which is definitely not true. He slept on the couch last night and was still in a good mood this morning. He has treated me like a princess this pregnancy, and is so excited for baby and I just love him so much!
I'm thankful for my FI. I've been feeling a little disconnected lately because I've been so tired and we don't spend as much time together. We had a chat over the weekend and he's really making an effort to do little things with me so we still have some intimacy and togetherness, even though we really only see each other 2 hours a day during the week.
I'm also thankful for this thread! It's so easy to get caught up in the complaints of pregnancy, and it's nice to read other positive comments.
And I am thankful for my family! My sister has two children and has been a huge help with my being a FTM. DH and I live with my parents right now while we look for our new house and I am thankful for them "letting us in." I know my parent's house will always be my home and DH is being a good sport living with his in-laws!!
I am thankful that I have a job. There was a mass layoff recently and I'm still here.
I am thankful for a healthy Schroeder and an involved DH. For a man who wasn't sure he ever wanted children, he has gotten quite involved in the pregnancy and supportive of many of my decisions (even if he isn't sure why I made a decision or two).
I am also thankful of DH's friends (especially those who are fathers) - they have shown him over the years that being a father is about much more than just providing money and disciplining a child over a perceived wrong (as DH's father did). They also introduced him to different parenting styles that better fit our personalities and outlook on life.
Married 10/06
Baby Girl "C" arrived on 10/07/14 (39 weeks, 6 days)
Thank you for starting this! Sometimes I feel that we spend too many weekly threads airing things we don't like so it's nice for a refreshing change.
I am thankful that DH and I have jobs that offer us so much flexibility. DS1 has been sick with a virus and in addition to the stress of him being ill, at least DH and I don't have to worry about working from home/face time at work so that we can pick him up early from day care when needed.
I am also thankful for a supportive DH who helps out a lot at home and with DS. I never really appreciated him until I read threads on the Bump about husbands who were less than supportive or helpful with LOs.
I am thankful for our friends & family who are helping us move at the end of the month. I am also thankful for everything about DH. He sure grinds my gears sometimes, but he is so wonderful to me and I feel like I don't show it enough. He packed my lunch today (not a disaster like last time!) and put extra cookies in there so that "the baby has an afternoon snack"
I'm glad you started this tread! As much as I like a good vent now and then, I lean to the positive side of things naturally. I'm thankful for DH adding 6 shelves to a blank wall in our master closet. I've been stressing about storage (yay for condo living!) and now I have so many extra shelves, I don't have enough to put on them! A small part of me is thankful that MIL cancelled our plans to go baby window shopping today. I really wanted to go, but it would have been a long day. Kind of happy I get to relax solo today
Every night I try to pray about what I am thankful for, but usually am too tired and end up falling asleep before I finish. With this pregnancy, I've truly realized how blessed I am. Even though things can always be *better*, they certainly are not awful.
I'm thankful for my DH, who is getting more and more excited for baby girl to arrive. I'm thankful for my parents, who we moved back in with until we build our first home, because they take care of all the little things that I am too tired for now. I'm thankful for my friends who constantly ask how I'm doing even though I'm just fine, thankyouverymuch. I'm thankful to have a job that provides a great work-life balance with my life transitions. I'm thankful to be healthy and be growing a healthy little girl who fills my heart with love daily. I could go on and on...these things may be very germane to most of us, but nonetheless, I am so grateful all the time now.
1. My husband who is so supportive and excited about our new life. I wouldn't have made it through the last year without him.
2. Daily kicks from LO. DH got to feel them for the first time on Sunday and last night as well. Feeling the baby kicks makes it much easier for me to calm down and enjoy the ride.
3. Family and friends that I love even though they drive me crazy sometimes.
I guess I should post here now, before I hear anything from my husband about today's vet appointment. I'm thankful that my baby is healthy and that my husband thinks my bump is super cute. I'm also thankful for hard boiled eggs that peel easily.
I am thankful for soooo much. I am thankful for my healthy baby girl. I am especially thankful for my DH. He has been essential in helping me manage my GD even doing my finger pricks for the first few days.
I am thankful that we made it through our first year of marriage (our anniversary was June 1).
I am thankful for the flexibility of my job with appointments.
Lastly I am thankful for the abundance of overtime we have at work right now. My paychecks have been amazing.

Thank for a H that works hard everyday to support his family. He would do anything for us. Thankful that he is feeling a bit more contacted to our son. Thankful for another day I have been blessed with.
Thankful for my SO and his ambition/work ethic. He picked out the perfect first name for our LO :x
I'm so glad my daughter will have him to snuggle and bond with.
My mom is amazing too. She's letting me live with her while I get my down payment money together, build my savings, and wait for my adjustment period with my first baby to pass until I move. Love her.
I am thankful that my DH adopted the attitude of "In it it win it" when we started our journey to have children almost 5 years ago. It was a hard road and I don't think I could have done it if he had not been so committed.
I am also really thankful for DH letting me take a nap during migraine hell this morning while he did the morning routine with our son.
I'm thankful that my dog managed to escape his crate yesterday and got sick/pooped all over the floor instead of all in his crate which would have been all over him. I'm also thankful that he seems to be feeling better.
I'm also thankful for sunshine. I work in an office with no windows and harsh fluorescent lighting that drains my energy, so as soon as I get outside in the sun, my mood instantly changes!
And of course, I'm thankful for my husband and our families. I don't know what I would do without them!
Re: **Thankful Tuesday**
I'm thankful that I passed my glucose 3 hr test last week!!!

Hope your husband gets more work soon! That is so stressful!
@wildflower75
Glad you passed your 3 hour test!
Im thankful that my headaches are gone!
