I almost forgot about this. What makes you thankful?

I am thankful for my wood stove and that DH filled it this morning. It was -33 here this morning so DD and I are not going anywhere or doing anything but snuggling under blankets.

I'm thankful I'm able to take off 12 weeks to spend with DS. We've had to cut back on a lot of spending but it has been so worth it. I only have 2 weeks left and I'm already sad thinking of going back to work. But I know I'm lucky because a lot of women don't even get that long.

I'm also thankful for MIL who will be watching DS. She has decided to take only $300 a month for watching him, and I had been planning on paying her $600 a month- $150 a week. So score on saving that much money. And she said some months she won't even charge us if she gets a job (she does wardrobe on plays and commercials so just depends what is in town). We already don't have to pay for December and most likely we won't for January either.

I am thankful for my DH. He drives me crazy a lot but I don't know what I would do without him. He was awesome throughout my whole pregnancy/labor/delivery and is a great daddy.

I'm miserable that my BM supply is tanking, but I am so very thankful that I figured out that this is why LO has been so fussy and hungry and upset. I'm thankful that I had back-up formula on hand last night that I could give her since all my breast milk stash was frozen, and I am SUPER thankful for the 6 and a half hours of uninterrupted sleep my baby gave me after I supplemented before her bedtime feeding.

I am even more thankful that when my husband came home and saw me crying at 5:40am he listened to me break down about how awful I felt that she was miserable and it was my fault, and all he did was hold me and tell me that although he wanted our daughter to breast feed as long as possible, if she had to move to formula he would be super excited to help feed her more and be more involved with her every day care. Where did I find this amazing man and I really hope he never figures out how un-amazing I am.

I am extremely thankful and lucky to have 2 healthy sons. My DH and sons are the most important people in my life and I can't imagine life without them.

rlyttle · November 2014

I am thankful that DD slept 10-6 last night and I slept 11-6. I DIDNT WAKE UP ONE TIME,! That's the first time that has happened in over a year! 7 hours of sleep! A.maz.ing!

I am thankful that I only work three days per week instead of five ... I think this will make going back to work next month a little easier as I love staying home with this sweet little girl .. I just know I'm gonna bawl on the way to work my first shift back

This week I am thankful for my mom. Unfortunately she is a very sick woman but manages to be well enough time to time to watch her 1st grand child >:D< I was able to get some errands done plus a haircut, score! She got to hang & watch the smiles come from LO :x

This week I'm thankful for DH. I know he's having a hard time leaving us each day but when he's here he is great with DS. He's always taking him so I can shower and eat or sleep in a little. It's a great help and he's an amazing husband.

Vavavictoria · November 2014

I'm thankful for DH. He loves me and DD so much and works so hard to grow his business and is always stressed. I appreciate his hard work more than he could ever know.

Ahlome08 · November 2014

I am thankful God have me patience and the gift to ignore some people, or else I'd end up bish slapping sooo many people. Lolol but really, I'm thankful that DH finally agreed (before we got pregnant and had DS), to let me be a SAHM. We wouldn't have been able to do it if he hadn't gotten the promotion he did, so I'm thankful that he has put me and DS first, so that I can be home with him completely. This means the most to me because I think I might be OAD, simply because, at least right now, DH and him are all I need. There's something special a baby gives you that you can't describe. I guess it is like my heart is smiling

I am thankful for the lifestyle/occupation we have. We farm so we raise crops, cattle, and hogs. It is just amazing to me that we get to be stewards to the land that great great great grandparents once made their life savings off of. I am thankful for the conservation they took of the land that we will once be able to hand down yo our children. It takes so much work and long hours but I feel it makes our family stronger.
-I am thankful for the yields we have had this year. We are still hurting from the drought 2 years ago but it is getting better.
-I am thankful to have healthy livestock. With the weather changing and fluctuating it really puts our calves at risk for pneumonia. Also we have been so lucky our pigs have not contracted PEDV. (The deadly disease behind the increased prices in pork products.)
-I am thankful for all the technology and genetic advances.
Finally I am thankful my prayers have been answered for a safe harvest this fall.

kaleb87 · November 2014

@Hurricanenellie dang girl where do you live that it was -33 already? I though 30 was bad enough here in Indiana.

@Lmk1566 I am sorry that your mom is sick. I am glad that she was able to spend time with her grandchild. Hugs to you, I am sure her illness is hard on you as well.

str13 · November 2014

I'm thankful for such an awesome pedi that listens to me and makes sure that I'm healthy too. I'm glad that he pays attention to what I'm telling him and what's going on with LO.

And thank you thank you thank you! Today DH got a call for an interview tomorrow! It would be such a blessing if this would work out for us. He's been really depressed and it's taking a toll on our relationship.
(If anyone would please pray that the interview goes well tomorrow. DH needs a good day.)

crystangel · November 2014

Thankful that although DH is out of work, he has been around to help more with LO. It has been nice to have a teammate all day long.

Songbird2 · November 2014

I'm thankful for my husband who always makes sure I get me time in the evenings. I usually get around 45 mins to shower, relax, and not be in charge of our baby girl.

lmk1566 · November 2014

Thanks @kaleb87‌. The unfortunate is that I just found out a bit ago that my dad lost his job

Micavanaugh · November 2014

I am thankful that my mom will be watching LO when I go back to work and dh can be with her the days he is off work.

JanisBaby14 · November 2014

I'm thankful for my incredible supervisor at my job. She helped me so much when I rapidly had to go on bed rest and leave in July and communicating anything and everything I need to be updated on. Even issues with my leave she would call me and say, I got this paperwork saying this you need to call them and get this and this fixed. And now that I'm back to work she has helped so much with my transition of being a FTM and working mom. I had depression and anxiety before my pregnancy and I'm not PPD but have teetered and she makes me so comfortable talking and listening to me about my problems of returning to work.

lil_diamond_eyes · November 2014

I'm thankful for a having job that allows me to make my own hours as well as be able to take LO with me.

hurricanenellie · November 2014

I live in the mountains in Wyoming. That was windchill. To be fair it was only about -20 real temp.

ashaw512 · November 2014

I'm thankful I have healthy children. I can't imagine life without them, I couldn't be more blessed. A friend of my mom's has a one year old little girl. Her name is Bailey she has menkes disease, which means she has no copper in her body, at first her life expectancy was 3-5 years now the Drs are saying she won't make it to 3 yrs old. She just turned one last month. Last Monday they almost lost her bc she quit breathing. She's currently at the children's hospital in D.C. And are prepping her to move her to the Children's hospital in Jackson so she will be closer to home. She had an MRI today and since last March her brain has retained a substantial amount of fluid and is shrinking. My heart breaks for them, she's a fighter and she has a one strong mamma. Plz pray for them.
@crystalangel79 and Shauna I can't remember your username, you are strong mammas and I continue to pray for yall, Madeleine, and maddy everyday.
