Thankful Tuesday

MrsSarahRenee · November 2014

So much to be overwhelmed and frustrated about these days, but let's take a minute and think of something to be thankful for in these early days with our LOs.

MrsSarahRenee · November 2014

1.) I agree my DH is my rock.

2.) some decent sleep last night

3.) this face :x

4.) My sometimes overbearing but always well intentioned mother

I'm always incredibly thankful for my husband as well as all of our health. And I want to say that I'm thankful for you ladies and this community, a place to come to bitch, to vent, to laugh hysterically and to say, "Oh thank god I'm not the only one!". You guys are awesome. Srsly.

My husband having a job interview for his dream job tomorrow.

Also, really thankful for my wonderful mother in law. I hate that a lot of you have mils who are living up to the stereotype.

Yay interview! Good luck to him!!!!

I'm thankful for my DH & my family for being so supportive! They are my rock! I couldn't take care of the twins without them! I'm also thankful for this amazing community! And of course I'm so very thankful that I have two healthy babies, for I am truly blessed!

1. Almost all of our friends are unhappy in their marriages, I'm incredibly thankful to be truly happy in mine.

2. So, so thankful that both of my LOs are healthy.

Our families are fantastic. Everyone is healthy. I found out yesterday that my stepsister is 7 weeks pregnant. We have great paying jobs and a good amount in savings. I get 6 months off for maternity leave. DD is a great baby and hardly ever fusses unless she's hungry (I could go for sleeping longer at night, but beggars can't be choosers

). And I'm thankful for you guise! You've all helped make pregnancy easier and more fun than it probably would be otherwise.

I am thankful for DH. He has been so great with Noah…and me

I am SO thankful that my mom will be here this weekend and is staying for a week.

I am also forever thankful for my precious Noah. I can't imagine life without him!

mickeydoo · November 2014

Thankful for DH. He's an incredible husband and dad. No way could I survive having a newborn again without his help.

Thankful for all the family we have, even extended family like cousins and aunts and uncles that care so much about DD.

Thankful for our parents specifically for all the help they've given us.

MrsSarahRenee · November 2014

@Jesslynnsell‌ I love the sleeper he is in! Super cute fox

windwithfingers · November 2014

I'm thankful for my mother, who I had a not so great relationship with before DH died. She's really done everything she can to help me out and she is so good with DS. Thankful also to my brother who gave up his sweet attic room for me when I had to move back home with hardly any complaining. Thankful my baby is healthy, his heart is healthy, and I'm healthy too.

hecklet · November 2014

I also am very thankful for DH. He's an amazing dad and had really been helpful with things around the house that I now am being a slacker with.

I'm thankful for my friends and family/ all who have been so supportive and helpful since DS was born.

And lastly I'm thankful for DS. He's overall a very calm, happy baby. I never thought I'd be a mom but he has flipped my world upside down and I'm loving every minute of it. (Besides the lack of sleep)

victoria+james · November 2014

I'm thankful to have M. We tried for a long time to have him and I'm happy that he is here with me now.

pnwlover12 · November 2014

So thankful for butter, toast, and coffee.

Among other things, of course.

DreadGamerWife · November 2014

I am thankful for DH. For someone who wasn't sure he wanted a child when we started this journey, he has changed and absolutely adores C.

I am thankful for C. Almost three years of infertility and I am amazed every day that she is with us.

Lastly, I am thankful for my iPad. I think I have been on my computer three times since C was born and the iPad has allowed me to keep my sanity during the many hours is cluster feeding.

Oh, and finally being able to eat chocolate again. GD was hard.

Dani0329 · November 2014

Thankful for the military bringing us to NJ where I actually get short term disability from the state for 6 weeks and then 6 weeks of bonding time!

Also, thankful for family/friends.

[Deleted User] · November 2014

I'm thankful for DH. He works so hard to provide for us and as rough as it is for me to do things alone a month at a time, it's harder on him to be away from us.

griffers · November 2014

I'm thankful for my amazing husband.

I'm thankful to have a healthy baby.

I'm thankful for my job as much as I hate leaving my LO.

Lindzoid · November 2014

I'm thankful for an amazing boss who is paying me part of my salary since I am doing some work from home while on leave for 6 weeks. With only a small disability policy and nothing else this is a huge help....two birthdays and Xmas coming. Phew!
I am thankful for my DH and 3 children. No words can describe the amount of love I have for all of them. ❤️

This is a great thread, and I think we need to have it weekly to remind us all of the great things in life!!

staryb · November 2014

Our best friends baby was born last week. After 33 hours of labor he spent 3 days in the nicu with jaundice and a possible infection. He went home today and I am so happy for them and thankful for their healthy little man!

Watching our friends go through that and knowing that they couldn't hold and care for their baby the first few days of his life broke my heart and reminded me how lucky we are to have a healthy baby.

So thankful for my beautiful healthy daughter and her new little friend who is finally at home cuddling with his parents!

rosalie12 · November 2014

I'm thankful for my DH, who has jumped right in and is a great father in spite of not having great parents as role models. He asked me on a "date" Thursday, which was such a cute surprise and I'm thankful that he has realized that we need to keep our relationship strong in spite of having our world turned upside down by our baby.

I'm thankful for my family, especially my mom, who is always willing and available to help, even in the middle of the night. I'm so glad that we live close to my family and that C will grow up close to our families.

And most of all, I'm thankful that in spite of a high risk and sometimes scary pregnancy due to lupus and later GD, that C is perfectly healthy and does not have any complications. It was really scary when her heart was being closely monitored because of a rare lupus complication, but we are truly blessed to have a healthy baby girl.

I need to remember this in the middle of the night when she is screaming bloody murder and DH is snoring and I'm so jealous and tired I could scream. Thanks for the reminder of the importance of being thankful!!!

And thank you for this community! I have become more active since being off work and you are all so supportive! I doubt I would have made it through the rough early days of BFing if not for all of the support. You guise are great!
