Thanks! I'm excited. I haven't had a massage in close to a year!
I do feel I'll need to apologize about my awful backne though. Embarrassing.

Nah! I'm sure they've seen worse! I get awful back-ne while pregnant too. Damn hormones.
I am thankful for my wonderful husband Tim, who is the most supportive and loving man I've ever known. Earlier this week I found out I didn't get a position at work I interviewed for. I was upset and crying because it would have been more money and would have helped with daycare. DH assured me everything would be fine, and we would be fine and that he's proud of me.
I'm also thankful for all the other Moms I know, IRL and on here of course, who have been so encouraging and kind to me!
N14 January Siggy Challenge - What Sucks About Work
Yay for Thankful Thursday! I'm thankful for my awesome husband who has always been so supportive and continues to blow me away with his kindness. Also, on a less mushy note, I'm thankful for my mom's homemade scones because they are freaking AWESOME!
I already love this thread and it's making me tear up, which is ridiculous.
I'm thankful for my DH who works long, hard hours at a tough job and never complains. He takes all the overtime he can just because he wants to get ready for the baby. He also does so many things to make me laugh- like making up songs and dancing around in his undies.
I'm also thankful that we have enough money to make the improvements to our house in order to get ready for the LO and to make the house the way we want it. It's not a big house, but it's ours and it's perfect for our family.
I'm thankful for my husband (I know this will be a common one). I really wake up every morning feeling like the luckiest person in the world. I couldn't have designed a better match for me.
I also am thankful for working from home where I can do work while lying down on the couch when I am exhausted and even take a cat nap midday if my meeting schedule allows for it. I have no idea how all you superwomen deal with this pregnancy thing and function in society!
I'm thankful I only have 12 days left to work at my day job. It will be amazing to just be able to work on my business. And take care of my daughter. (Not to mention enjoy being pregnant! And get things ready for the baby.)
I'm also glad my husband's business is doing so well. (He is only on his third month!) he's crazy busy, but more content.
Last one -- I'm thrilled with the weather so far this summer! Not hot, not raining miserably. Just warm-ish temps. Sun, some clouds. I hope it stays that way.
I am thankful that my best friend/roomies boyfriend is out of town all summer! Since he is out of town, I have someone to cuddle with at night! I am also thankful for my amazing supportive family. I couldn't be a single mommy without their love and support!
Everyday I am thankful for my son and husband, they are my whole world and I can't imagine life without them.
Today I am especially thankful for DS's babysitter. When I was getting him ready to leave this morning he was waving his arms and giggling with excitement to go see his little friends. Knowing that he loves going there and is well cared for makes me so happy.
I'm thankful my dad is doing better. We had a scare this week and he spent overnight in the hospital with some dizziness. His tests came back clear and hes responding to the medicine they gave him. He still needs to do some followup stuff, but its not as serious as it could have been!
I'm thankful today and everyday for my loving and crazy DD she is literally my world. I'm also thankful for my left over calzone ill be eating for lunch
I am thankful that my thoughtful DH surprised me with a gift certificate for a massage this morning! And I'm thankful for a 3 day weekend when it looks like we may have nice weather!
I am thankful for my DH for so many reasons and am thankful to have a wonderful DS who says little things to make me laugh everyday. Last night he told me "the baby wants to watch Team Umi Zoomi"- he is already using this N14 baby to get what he wants.
Also, I am thankful that I am getting my hair cut and highlighted tonight...it is so needed. And I am thankful for Krave cereal.
@Maelara - great thread! And I always feel like I'm copying you, because I was about to say the same thing about DS. I complain about him a lot because he is in a legitimately frustrating phase, but I am so thankful because he really is such a good little boy and he is such a source of joy in my life. I am also thankful for my DH being so understanding when I tell him I just need to get away from DS for a few hours...!
Last thing (well there are a LOT of things I'm thankful for, but I'll save them for future Thankful Thursdays!) is that I'm so thankful that DH has such an amazing job so that I am able to stay at home with DS (and baby #2 soon!).
I'm also thankful for my amazing husband who is currently making my lunch and has been my rock this past month. Almost married for 10 years and I really do love him more today then yesterday. My children. For everything they do and everything they are. My friends. My mom. This board. For allowing me to still come here and join in. For allowing me to express myself with (little) judgement. Crying with me and for me. Loving Brody. Helping me find strength again. Laughing at me and with me and the gifs. The best of all!
I am thankful for my 4 day work schedule. I feel so lucky to be able to have my Fridays home with DD. Even if we don't end up leaving the house, I am blessed to have one extra day with her.
And I'm thankful for Honey Nut Cheerios. I can't get enough of them lately.
first I am thankful I don't go in till 11 and get off at 6 yayy!!!
I am also thankful for my husband who works fulltime and goes to school. he helps me through bad times. has cooked every night this week.
I am also thankful for you awesome ladies. I have been on quite a few over the past year between three losses and ttcal. this is the one group I have spent the most time with and love reading y'alls post. M14 was cool but didn't get to stay to long. there is great support here. So glad to be here.
I'm beyond thankful to feel our babies fluttering away in my belly. Regardless of their sexes or anything else, they've been loved and wanted for so long. I'm so proud of how strong they are. I can't wait to tell them these things when I hold them for the first time.
I'm thankful for every good thing God has given me. Especially for baby boy and hard working & caring DH, for being able to work from home, for being close to a supportive family, for my bratty cat, for our cute and cozy home.

I am thankful that I am pregnant with this sweet little boy. It was a long journey, and I can't wait to meet him in November.
I'm also thankful for a wonderful husband. I'm seriously beyond spoiled. He cooks, he cleans, he does almost all the grocery shopping, and he is so wonderful to me. I don't know how I got so lucky.

I am soo thankful that my A/S on Tuesday went well and the doctor even joked and said my baby looks fantastic and will get 1600 on their SATs! LOL I've been a little worried because I don't feel any movement yet and some days I don't even feel pregnant (plus I haven't gained much weight) but the ultrasound tech said the baby is right on target for growth! So I am very thankful for that good report! I am also thankful in advance for the chocolate frozen yogurt I am having for lunch!
I am thankful for my hubby and that he decided to take this baby making path with me.
He really was against the idea in the beginning, but he came around and actually brought up the subject on his own when he told me if I really wanted a baby, I should stop my BCP and we would try. I am so thankful for that. There is no one else in this world I would want to do this with. He is my best friend and we are so alike its sometimes scary.
I am also thankful that we both have good jobs. Not the greatest, but certainly good. We are better off than alot of other people we know. Not rich, but we live comfortably. We both worked very hard to get where we are today.

I'm thankful for each and every day I'm pregnant. I know I might complain about it at times, but I can't believe how lucky I am to be having these babies.
N14 Nov. Siggy: CELEBRATION!

Nov. 7, 2014 - Wilhelmina "Willa" Suzanne (4lb 14oz) and Ari Jose (6lb 4oz) were born via CS
In the spirit of upcoming Father's Day I am so thankful for my dad. He has been the rock in my life and sets such a high standard of what a father, husband, friend, and human being should be.
I am also so thankful for every single day of this pregnancy. Every moment, the highs and the lows, the fears and anxieties. After years of accepting that DH and I might not be able to have children, I am filled with gratitude every morning I wake up a day closer to holding our baby.
Thankful for my crazy 19 month old girls that have me running from 7am to 8pm everyday. Thankful for the summers off to get to spend everyday chasing them. Thankful for this surprise baby girl growing inside me....the baby we never thought we would have "on our own" (med-free). Thankful for my hard working, tough-as-nails-until-those-little-girls-turn-him-to-mush DH. Hard to not feel blessed. Especially since my girls are napping right now and I have some 'me time' to join you fine ladies on this board!
This is a really great thread. It allows my inner cheesy to come out and boy am I a cheese ball
I am so incredibly thankful that I am here pregnant with a seemingly healthy baby boy. I wanted to give up on this heartbreaking journey so many times after getting knocked down by five losses before. Deep down I knew that maybe just maybe if we kept going and took the risk to try again I would be here today. I am thankful that we didn't give up hope and that I am still pregnant.
I am thankful that despite a terrifying emotional journey of being pregnant after losses I have had a physically boring pregnancy so far.
I am so thankful that we all get to share our pregnancies together.
I'm thankful for a supportive partner who makes me breakfast, gives me massages, and agrees to blame all farts on the baby.
Also thankful that I work around the corner from my favorite deli (old nelson for those in the 215 know)... And that they will heat up turkey pastrami for me.
I am thankful to past me for deciding to only teach labs this summer and not add in the lecture portion. The 2 hour break every night is amazing, and having 4 day weekends is just the cherry on top!
I'm also thankful to H for all of his love and support. He has to leave his job early 3 days a week to pick up DD from daycare by 6, and he hasn't complained. He's also so understanding when I come home exhausted at night.
Like many of you, I'm also thankful for DD. She is such a challenge sometimes, but she makes me smile and laugh every single day. I wouldn't trade her for anything.
And lastly, I'm thankful for this little boy I'm carrying. He may exhaust me and force me to eat a lot more meat than I normally want, but his little kicks and pokes warm my heart.
I am thankful for @maelara for starting this great thread.
I am thankful for my dog, who brings a smile to my face several times a day.
I am thankful that the academic year is ALMOST over, and my students were kind and appreciative on the last day of class (one of them even said she appreciates that I have high standards for them, which made me happy, usually they complain about too much work…yes I have high standards. This is college!). It makes me feel like maybe I should be a professor, even though I think of dropping out of my program weekly.
I am thankful that my summer break is about to start and I can focus on this LO's arrival and our move.
I am thankful that my sister and her family are driving 8 hours to visit this weekend (and to go to legoland:).
Oh, and I am thankful for my A/S which is next week! It will be such a huge relief to see the baby again.
FInally, I am ever so thankful for the mamas of N14!
TTC 3/2012; IUI 2/26/14; EDD 11/23/14; DD born 11/21/14!!!
