It's officially thanksgiving in CST so happy turkey day!

I'm thankful for the two beautiful boys I can call my sons, my health, and TB

What are you thankful for?

ginger514 · November 2014

Great post! I'm thankful for so many things, but this year I'm especially thankful for all of the doctors, nurses and u/s techs I've seen in the last 9 months. I've had no shortage of appointments and a few scares, and they have helped keep me same during the highs, and are all rooting for me and LO each day. It's a great feeling to be genuinely taken care of.

Eora3 · November 2014

I am thankful for my two (and soon to be three) healthy boys. It has been my life long dream to be a mommy and I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity. I wasn't sure I would ever have the privilege. I have learned so much and grown so much through my love for them.

I am thankful for my DH. He works so hard to make sure that I am able to be at home to take care of our boys. He always knew that was important to me and he has sacrificed to make it a reality. He is also a really good daddy. Our children love every minute they get to spend with him.

I am thankful that I do not have to worry about where my next meal is coming from or where I will sleep tonight. I am thankful to live in a safe community where I can send my children out to play in the neighborhood and not worry if they will ever come home again. I am thankful that my country (while not perfect) is making progress toward laws and policies that promote equality of all people regardless of sex, race, gender, or sexual orientation. We aren't there yet, but one day I believe my children's children may be free from some of the fear, hate, and discrimination that quietly lingers on the edge of our society until something horrible brings it into the light again.

I am thankful for the Bump and you awesome bishes and ladies who are willing to connect with creepy Internet strangers and offer support.

caroline0613 · November 2014

I am thankful for my patient and kind mother who doesn't bat an eye, and even agrees wholeheartedly, that the nursery is entirely the wrong color and helps repaint it. And my dh who doesn't even try to argue anymore. Or make comments regarding pregnancy brain, clumsiness, and strange cravings. And tums. Whoever said tums, you are so right.

leoandethansmom · November 2014

I remembered another one. Poop, I am thankful for pooping.

beachy6 · November 2014

I have so much to be thankful for this year. I'm over the moon thankful that I actually get to have another baby and get to experience being pregnant again. I honestly didn't think I would ever get to this point and just figured that I was donating to my infertility doctor's retirement plan for all those years.

I'm thankful for my amazing 11 year old DS. He gave me the title of "Mom" and it's the best job on the planet. I'm pretty thankful for my DH, as he's been through the ringer with all of this, also.

I'm also thankful that I can have a hysterectomy next Summer so I don't have anymore endo pain and I don't have to do pregnancy again! It's been a rough 8 months!

bowlwoman · November 2014

I am so thankful for DH, my two beautiful girls, and my new squishy son. I'm also thankful for DH getting a new job before Q was born and for my own professional success at work (I found out right before I left for maternity leave I'm getting a promotion).

2014 was both a great and rocky year, and I can't wait to see what 2015 holds.

nedralynn · November 2014

I am so thankful for my son, getting pregnant and having him almost three years ago now was life saving and the change I needed in my life to better it he and I struggled being a single mom for a while but his face kept me going.

I'm thankful for my amazing BF I have been such a bitch lately and hormonal and hes taken it so well I'm not sure what I would do without him. I'm glad he is the father of our daughter on the way, hes an amazing father to his children and takes care of my son as his own.

I'm thankful for my step kids and the rest of my family, friends who are basically family they are all an amazing support system and I'm not sure what I would do without any of them.

Finally thankful for the fact my dr decided not to admit me yesterday and is instead letting me collect all of my pee for 24hours in a big orange bucket really didn't want to spend thanksgiving in the hospital

amedbery · November 2014

I am thankful for my H and his patience and kindness. He has been so great through this pregnancy and I know there are brave ladies going it alone, so I know I am lucky to have his support.

I am greatful for both of our crazy families. It may be a circus, but they have really helped us get ready for this baby.

I am so greatful that I am about 5 weeks from getting to meet LO! I am thankful that despite GD, she is growing normally and she is healthy. I am also thankful that I have had a relatively easy pregnancy. And that you ladies who haven't are still doing well and have babies that are thriving.

Happy Thanksgiving lovelies!

hollieandaaron2012 · November 2014

I am thankful for DH! He is an amazing man who would do anything for me. I am truly one of the lucky ones and he keeps surprising me everyday. He isn't perfect but he is perfect for me.

I am also thankful for my mom taking a few weeks out of her life to come help us after the baby is born. We could do it without her but it will be so much easier having her here.

I am thankful for my shelter dog. When we got him it felt like we were more of a family and got us ready as couple to have kids.

One more! I am thankful for all my friends and family. It was amazing to see our nursery get complete with all of their generosity . Not just the gifts but the hand me downs too that people purposefully saved for us.

CandEChicago · November 2014

Thankful not to be dealing with my first trimester morning sickness... the smell of food would have been nausea inducing.

BrainCellSup · November 2014

I am thankful to have arrived at a moment in my life free from dark moods, anxiety, and feelings of failure. I'm thankful for everything that has led me here, including the low points. Feeling content is glorious, and I don't know that I would appreciate it the same way without the struggle.

I'm incredibly thankful for my DH, my family, his family that has become my own, my cat, each of whom I treasure, and the little one who will join this marvelous fray soon.

I'm also thankful for the D14 community! I have always been an outsider both by choice and not, and it's so nice to be involved and invested here. You are all crazy and wonderful.

kirstey728 · November 2014

I am thankful for you ladies....
Whenever I needed a good laugh, guaranteed I was on the bump!

Thankful for DH, he has listened to me complain for the last 9 months and has been my designated massager the entire time and hasn't said a word!

So thankful for my mother who took over cooking this year so all I had to do was eat...

And lastly, my wonderful LO who is growing and getting ready to make his grand entrance.

Shortstack06 · November 2014

First I am thankful for our military and their families. They sacrifice so much through the year and the only time someone thinks of them is the holidays. They truly are heroes and deserve a thank you every day. (If you see someone in uniform, thank them. It means a lot to them).

I am thankful for the ladies on the board. For
having a place to let out my frustration that I wouldn't say otherwise to my family, or their great advice they have given over the months.

I am thankful for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. I have been very fortunate with my pregnancy and hope that continues.

I am thankful for my family, my puppy, and my husband for all their support and their good health(or good treatments) that they have had this past year.

adoringangeldmb · November 2014

I am thankful being absolutely thankful for the blessings in my life. In roughly 31 days, or less, or a bit longer, I'll be holding my baby boy Caleb for first time and I can't absolutely wait for that adventure to begin. I am just thankful he is healthy throughout this pregnancy even with my high risk complications.

I'm thankful for my wonderful husband, mom, family, and friends who add to keeping my life meaningful and an awesome journey. Oh and my three amigo of dogs as well; they brighten any day.

Lately holidays may mostly seem to be commercialized, about the food, decorations, and gifts but we all know they started with the blessings of family and friends in our lives. Remember that!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and thank you for being a part of my life as well, D14 community!

byrne15 · November 2014

I can honestly say that I am so grateful on a daily basis for my life. I have an excellent husband, 2 amazing boys, a good job, my dream home and the ability to have fun and truly enjoy my life. I want it to last forever.

frenchy816 · November 2014

Great post! I have so much to be thankful for this year.

My hubby who has been awesome though this whole pregnancy and through the curves life has given us.

For this little one still cooking in my belly.

My family -- my mom's surgery went well and she is recovering well, my grandma for helping me out taking care of mom, my brothers and sisters who helped as much as they could considering they're in college/grad school and working. That my dad has a new job he likes (thus far...it's been 3 weeks) and in his field even if it takes him 4 hours away from us.

Work -- I feel blessed to work for a company that I LOVE, where I didn't even want to take maternity leave. I am thankful that I get to work from home so that I can do what I love (teach French) and take care of LO. That DH's job, as unglamourous as it is, provides for us, has fabulous benefits, and that the work is still there.

My friends -- a few are now KU so LO will have some friends to play with and although we are all over the globe (literally) we are all still in touch and close.

That we have food, shelter, and heat.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Getting to eat Thanksgiving dinner while wearing full panel maternity pants! Built-in stretchy pants!!

And my baby and family and health and stuff. But I'm so excited about the stretch!

Jeark1004 · November 2014

There are so many things to be thankful this year. First of all, I feel so blessed to have such a loving and supportive husband. I seriously couldn't have picked a better partner to share my life with and it's been amazing to see how our relationship has evolved over time, through our marriage, and look forward to big changes that are ahead for us.

I'm also very thankful for our smooth pregnancy, for our soon-to-arrive and healthy son, and for our growing family. As a FTM, I've definitely had my share of worried moments, but other than that, it's been such a wonderful experience so far. Though I can't wait to hold our little guy in our arms, part of me will also miss watching and feeling him squirm around in my tiny belly.

We're so blessed to have healthy and supportive families on both sides that we can always count on, the cutest fur baby who I know is so excited to be a big sister very soon, and also for great friends that we can share our joys and worries with.

2014 has been such an exciting year filled with so many blessings, and I cannot wait to see what 2015 has in the store for us!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you lovely ladies and your family!!!

sarahlynne30 · November 2014

I am thankful for my amazing in laws who have done so much for us and our little one on the way... and thankful that our IVF did work on the first transfer, we are beyond excited to meet LO soon

LSauer21 · November 2014

I'm thankful for some of these highlights of 2014!

ThePregosaurus · November 2014

Great post.

I'm thankful for so much:
- my little guy and that he has no problems from being early. He was just in a hurry to meet us

- DH's brain surgery was a success.
- I no longer pee every 30 seconds
- TB for being an outlet to vent so I didn't drive poor DH up the wall

CandEChicago · November 2014

My Hubby he is amazing! He is beyond patient and kind! He is my best friend and I am so very thankful for him! I am also thankful for DD she is the most silly and fun 8 year old! I love her giggle and smile and am so blessed to be her mommy. I am also thankful for the little one we will get to meet in a week! I am also thankful for our family and friends!

ColoradoBoat · November 2014

Not sure how good this pic turned out but I am thankful for gorgeous weather so we could head to my MILs in the Rocky Mountains. Thankful for DH of course as he puts up with me and has just been awesome these last couple weeks of pregnancy. Grateful for friends and family and safe travels for all.

Lastly, I am grateful for maternity leggings. I am impressed with those who can still fit into their maternity jeans as these days leggings are the only pants that are comfortable and don't fall down my butt

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Apsalartoll · November 2014

@Babar78 - I'm really glad LO is doing well. That sounded scary.

I'm thankful for my husband, who is really an amazing guy and I'm so fortunate that he's been in my life for almost 15 years. I'm thankful for my family who has never been anything but loving and supportive even though we don't always see eye to eye.

I'm thankful that DH and I both have good jobs, and that we'll both be able to take plenty of time off to take care of the baby.

I'm thankful that conception and pregnancy have been relatively easy, and I have access to good medical care.

And, of course, I'm thankful for all the Internet strangers who will give me good advice when I just can't be bothered to ask my doctor. D14 FTW!

aaron&corey · November 2014

Definitely a great idea

I'm thankful for my husband, who is the greatest gift I've ever received. I seriously can't sing his praises enough.
For his family, that has showered me with love since day one. Which is such a blessing, since my family is so far away.
For my family, as crazy and dysfunctional as they are

I'm thankful that my mom is coming all the way out here on her own for 10 days so she can spend time with her first grand baby.
I'm thankful that my body was created to grow a tiny person inside of it- and that I'm blessed enough to be able to do that (and enjoy it!!). So mind-blowing!

And I'm thankful that you guys are gracious enough to take me in even though it took me forever to post. D14 is where it's at!
