Big or small it doesn't matter, tell me what you're thankful for.

I'm incredibly thankful for my DD. I am sleep deprived, unshowered, and never eat a full meal without her crying. But I am the happiest person in the world because I get to be her momma.

I'm so thankful for my husband. Even though he doesn't listen to half the stuff I say and he doesn't clean right he makes sure everything is handled in our lives. We don't have a lot of money and I stay home, our house needs some serious updating and essential work done, well he did all the research and got us everything we need to make some home improvements happen plus some. AND he always makes sure I take some me time when he can, he works a lot out and goes out of town a couple times a month so it's hard but he makes it happen.

Oh and I'm thankful for fall tv, gives me a nice break from watching curious George and monsters university

I'm so thankful for my DS. I have never been so tired in my life but I wouldn't change it for anything. After 2 years of trying to start our family and 2 losses I thought I would never be a mommy. But we have been blessed with a perfect little boy. I have to remind myself of that sometimes when he's screaming non stop or up all night. But I love him more than anything.

Thankful DH got a seasonal 2nd job so I can stop freaking out about finances cutting my leave short

HorseLover11 · November 2014

Of course I am incredibly thankful for my precious little girl that took many years to come into our lives (after 2 losses and several years of fertility issues) I am very grateful for my wonderful DH who has been the yin to my yang, but I have to say that this morning I am incredibly thankful dd slept from 9-5 last night and dh then soothed her back to sleep until 630. Fingers crossed tonight is a repeat!! I am also thankful my rings seem to just about fit this morning. Lots to be thankful for

edited after I read wtf Wednesday - certainly not trying to brag here - I am a believer of a schedule and it works for us - i share my luck ( I call it luck bc who knows if it's the schedule I use or I have an easy baby - I believe it's a combo) bc if I can help anyone else I'd be happy to - I know we all want sleep sooner than later and I love to hear what is working for other ladies that I'm struggling with (I've found great advice for myself on here regarding skin issues and fast let down for example)

I am thankful to be walking again and to feel almost normal. I am also very thankful that this little bundle of cuteness in my arms is healthy.

bf43005 · November 2014

I am thankful for my MIL. She couldn't stand the thought of me being home alone with DS with a broken car until the spring when we could afford to fix it. So as a Christmas present she gave us the money to fix it and it wasn't cheap, car repairs never are. We would be down the car all winter without her.

I am thankful for this LO! I really need thought I'd be a mother... Just because I never really could envision myself as one.. Well it is the greatest thing ever wouldn't trade my little pumpkin for anything... Also thankful for my boyfriend who has been more hands on with her than I think most men are he's a huge help when I need to recharge because I am exhausted. Our daughter is going to be our greatest adventure...

My aunt came out to visit and surprised me by bringing my cousin who happens to be my best friend. They were only here 4 nights but it was the most amazing time and my wonderful husband knew about the surprise and took 2 days off of work to take care of DD when we wanted to go do things in the evenings. It was the best surprise ever and the perfect few days

Vavavictoria · November 2014

I'm thankful for my flexible job that allows me to work from home until the beginning of next year so LO doesn't have to go into daycare right at six weeks. I have a great boss and awesome coworkers who are all so understanding. Today is day 2 of working from home and I'm also thankful that DD went down for a nap and is letting me get some work done

Love this thread! I am thankful for forgiveness. Had coffee with my SIL and friends this morning. Our relationship was awkward and tense for a looooong time. There was so much hurt. But after a lot of prayer, some counselling, and courage to believe that God would and could work, we talked. We forgave and were forgiven. And now, we enjoy one another again. Family get togethers are enjoyed and the cousins can play together freely. So thankful!

redtoes13 · November 2014

I am also incredibly thankful for my husband and two healthy daughters.

jaime52005 · November 2014

I'm thankful for two beautiful children ..a loving husband..an a wonderful life

Ahlome08 · November 2014

I am sooo thankful that, despite having a large hole in his heart, DS is doing amazing!! The dr even said the hole shrunk a whole millimeter!! It's still large, but he said it's progress and he is growing better than most with his condition. Thank The Lord!!

KATILLAC1 · November 2014

I am super thankful for my husband. He has been so incredibly helpful while I've been sick I couldn't have gotten through the past few days without him.

sign84 · November 2014

I have only posted a few times, but I have so many things to be thankful for I wanted to post.

I am thankful for, after the hard adjustment my daughter had to getting the pavlik harness for her hip dysplasia, her smiles and laughs that have returned! I am also thankful that the doctor loosened the straps a little yesterday and now she has the ability to kind of kick. Kicking away is what she has been doing all day!

crystangel · November 2014

I am thankful for this little bean. He is adorable, and I nursing right now so he is silent.

Songbird2 · November 2014

I am thankful that my daughter is learning to breastfeed. We've always breastfed, but it is getting better! Tongue tie, lip tie, torticollis, but we are making it!!!!!!

lmk1566 · November 2014

Today I am thankful for my healthy baby. We had a checkup yesterday & his #'s are great. It wasn't until I became a mother that I had such compassion for other moms with ill children regardless of what it may be.

kaleb87 · November 2014

I am thankful for good health in my family. I am so beyond thankful to have two healthy kids. It absolutely breaks my heart that so many can't say this. I wish no child ever had to experience a serious illness. I know there are little ones on here that have illnesses and they are always in my thoughts, heart, and prayers.(Along with their moms)
I am also thankful to have good health. With the end of the year approaching I am always on pins and needles that my dh's check up and bloodwork comes back good.
As long as we have each other and good health my family is definitely blessed, and for that I am thankful!

SaraPEwell · November 2014

I am thankful for my supportive family. We had some challenges after the birth of LO, and my family was amazing. My mom flew out to stay with is for a full week, and knowing how much we miss everyone, my parents bought us plane tickets home for the holidays.

JanisBaby14 · November 2014

I'm thankful for my small, amazing family we started this year. After four years of trying and the last year of fertility, my anxiety and stress was really straining my marriage. After a year of fun, DH and I had finally come to a great place. And it was the reason we conceived on a second IUI. Even though I had one hell of a pregnancy with severe pre-e starting at week 29, our DS was a strong baby.

I'm thankful to this amazing little family because I feel like I'm finally whole. DH has never been happier and is the most adorable father. It's just precious.

@Songbird2‌ I just wanted to say I know how stressful torticollis is, DD went through therapy at 12 months. It does get better, is she able to start therapy yet?

RedBaramid · November 2014

I am so thankful that my in-laws let us do laundry at their house for free. I did 5 loads today, that would have been insane to do at a laundromat with a baby in tow. It took me hours to accomplish that but at least I got to watch TV, snack, and relax between loads.. Also we don't ever have to buy detergent or pay for the water it costs to do laundry which is just an added bonus with a little one around.

My DD has torticollis too. We haven't started therapy yet. Since she is getting better at holding her head up it isn't as bad as it was when she was first born. Our pedi put in a birth to three referral for her but they haven't contacted us yet.

Mine couldn't start until 12 months bc of all the evaluations. She was perfect in 3-4 months, it's so frustrating when ppl constantly ask why she's holding her head over or trying to push it up straight.

str13 · November 2014

I'm thankful for my two beautiful girls. Somedays my depression gets so bad I feel like I can hardly move, but LO wants to lay on my tummy and sleep, and DD1 comes and gives me kisses and cuddles. I couldn't ask for sweeter little princesses!

I am sorry about your depression. I know it can be so hard when your heart feels heavy. Take care of yourself.
