1) being unbanned; it's just not the same reading and not posting. Plus I need that little yellow "new" notification to help me keep up 2) I came home from work and not only did Aaron make dinner, he made a chocolate cake. Winning! 3) I had 5 days off work this week and got my nails did and bought a maternity dress for thanksgiving (Canadian turkey day is Sunday!)

I am thankful for supportive family and friends. I am also thankful for Popsicles.

Thankful to hear the news last week that baby's genetic screening is clear. Also thankful for Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend and getting to visit with family, especially my little brother (in-law) who has been in Germany for a year.

I am so unbelievably thankful for a fourth healthy child on the way. :x

Someday, I will try making these at home. And if it works, my life will be complete.

My friend makes something similar and they are amazing. Jalapeños cut in half, stuffed with cream cheese, and wrapped in bacon. I think she just bakes them until the bacon is cooked. They are the hit at any party.

Omg. Bacon would be awesome. Putting this on my pregnancy to-do list.

(Buy crib, paint baby's room, make jalapeno bacon poppers, stock up on diapers)....Totally normal, right?

....shouldn't thankful Thursday be on Thursday?

However im not opposed to being thankful. I am 100% thankful for this easy pregnancy and healthy little baby girl in my uterus. I love every minute of being pregnant (now) and look forward to getting huge and feeling her kick and move all the time.

I'm thankful for other easy pregnancy too! Granted, I am way more tired this time, but I think that's my toddler, and not the baby growing inside.

We're doing some renovations on our apartment, and our temporary home is closer to family, so I'm super thankful to have a few extra hands on deck to help out with DS. It's hard being a SAHM sometimes, there is literally no break, or escape, or whatever you wanna call it. Now I can run errands by myself and there are more than enough people that want to hang out with my boy.

I am thankful I got to hear my baby's heartbeat yesterday. And the beautiful fall weather we are having. And my toddler didn't cry when I dropped him off at school.

kcbizme · October 2014

I'm thankful for an easy pregnancy so far, a healthy SON (got the Harmony results yesterday), and for my SO, who is amazing!

jordanbohr · October 2014

I've got food on my brain..I'm thankful for pizza.

I'm also always thankful for a healthy baby growing, and being surrounded by my amazing family and husband.

peeppeeppeep · October 2014

Aside from being grateful for DH, friends, family, and this baby, I'm thankful that we got to hear the heartbeat again yesterday at 16 week appt. I'm thankful that my dog has four Halloween costumes, and I'm thankful for peanut butter m&m's.

Four?! What are they? What kind of dog do you have?

Sorry my small brain didn't realize it's not Thursday.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who woke up thinking today was Thursday, like the OP. I was kinda pissed when I realized it's only Wednesday.

I'm thankful for my H. I probably sound like one of those annoying couples who are schmoopying it up and, I guess we are. I am just so happy and married the most amazing man. After being married to my shitty ex-H for 9 years, although I admit I was no peach to him, it's so incredible to be married to someone who respects me and who I respect in return. I settled with my ex-H and never should have married him, but my current H...man of my dreams. I totally hit the husband lottery with him. /mushiness

Sorry to piss you off.

Ladylec · October 2014

I'm thankful for the amazing little boy I have who understands that mommy is sometimes sick and needs to lay down while he plays quietly and that he decided today would be a great day to take a 3.5+ hour nap so I could clean and prep dinner for company tonight. I couldn't ask for a better little boy and every day he amazes me, cue the pregnant lady tears.

mesteller1983 · October 2014

Love this positivity! I'm thankful that today I am pregnant. I've had a lot of ups and downs this time and thankful for a day of no worries....

jurassicrabbit · October 2014

I don't care if it's only Wednesday, I'm thankful for my new sewing machine. I've been cranking out baby blankets like there's no tomorrow.

Also, my sister-in-law and little brother are coming to visit this weekend. SO EXCITED!

Craft porns of the receiving blanket I made last night for those who are into that sort of thing (and because this is a self-declared AW thread):

kcbizme · October 2014

My Halloween maternity shirt came in! It's so soft.. I can't wait to put it on!

Aeml1985 · October 2014

@jurassicrabbit‌ I'm so jelly! I have a ripped seam (from taking a tag out) and I can't even fix that! Your baby is going to be so well equipped! Also, yay for the AW
