im up at the crack of dawn putting the turkey in the oven. What are you thankful for this year? Even those of you not celebrating (American) Thanksgiving.
I'm thankful for my husband, my son, good health for all 3 of us, a great extended family, in laws that are wonderful (yep you heard me!), our new townhouse....food, food is awesome. I'm also thankful that coffee and wine exist.
Happy Thanksgiving to all ! Even those outside the U.S.!
What am I not thankful for? My husband, my son, good health for all 3 of us, a great extended family, in laws that are wonderful (yep you heard me!), our new townhouse....food, food is awesome.
Are you sure you are NOT thankful for all those things?
@meerkatmillie - ha, you're right, that's confusing how it read. I meant to say: I am thankful for so many things that "what am I NOT thankful for?" would be the tougher question.
I am thankful for my family. We are having Thanksgiving on Saturday now due to the snow, I am thankful I am healthy so I can play/clean up the snow. I am also thankful for my 3yo DD, our new home, and for friends.
I am thankful for my two adorable, hilarious boys. I am thankful for my awesome husband who is currently making us breakfast while we watch toons. I am thankful that everyone is in good (isn) health at the moment. I am also thankful for my amazing friends and family.
I'm thankful for my family and for being given the knowledge to get my health on track. I'm thankful for our home and stable jobs, and my H who's been so supportive in my decision to go back to school and change my career.
There is so much to be thankful for right now. I'm thankful for my family- especially DD, I'm so proud of that kiddo.
I'm thankful for my good job where I'm appreciated, the opportunity to go back to school (even if I curse that decision while wading through homework!), and for our home.
Some sillies that I'm thankful for- good coffee, not having (much) homework this weekend, KT tape, my Bogs snow boots, and that my cranberry bliss bars didn't burn!
I am thankful that we have only one stop for Thanksgiving dinner today, as opposed to 3 that we had to do last year. I am also thankful for the fried turkey that we will eat today. YUM. And all of the typicals... my husband and family. Also super thankful that I don't have to go to work tomorrow!
Have a safe and happy day, ladies! Stay warm!

I'm thankful for my wonderful husband and furbabies, for being employed this year (last year at this time I was job hunting) and having an interview for an amazing opportunity coming up in December. I'm thankful for our families, neighbors and our home, and for many delicious meals coming up this weekend. And of course, I'm thankful for this board, which has kept me grounded and optimistic over the last six months.
Happy Thanksgiving, ladies!
No longer posting on The Bump due to the appalling misconduct of the staff and of its parent company, the XO Group. Four thousand active, engaged members do not represent "a few bad apples" and we are not trolls.
I'm thankful for my wonderful husband. I'm also looking at my chunky 17 lb LO wearing his "NICU Grad" onesie and I'm so thankful he has no lingering health issues from showing up 6 weeks early.
I'm not celebrating Thanksgiving today, but can someone send me some leftovers? Thanks.
I'm thankful for MH. He's a rockstar, and I'm more in love with him today than I was when we got married 5 years ago. He's seen me through the good and bad. I'm madly in love with him and don't tell him nearly enough.
I'm thankful for so many things this year. Right now I'm thankful that it's just H and I for Thanksgiving, so I don't have to rush around like mad, and we can eat exactly what we want.

I'm thankful for my family. I'm thankful that my mom, who drives me crazy and makes me worry, is here with me today. I'm glad she's happy and healthy today... A constant struggle for her. I'm eternally thankful for DH, who is my best friend and support system. I am thankful every day that he came into my life! I'm thankful that I'm starting to rebuild my relationship with my sister after a difficult year. I'm thankful for the delicious food on our table, my job and awesome coworkers, and my sweet fur babies. I am especially thankful for TB. A year ago, DH and I decided we were going to start TTC in the next few weeks. We assumed that it would be so easy and that we would have a baby by next Thanksgiving. That obviously isn't the case. I never imagined that I'd find such an amazing group of people who would help me through this difficult process. Not many people in my real life know I've been TTC for many months now. I am so grateful to have the people on this board to keep me sane! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Married to DH (aka the love of my life) since June 17th, 2006
Thankful for H, LOs, friends, family, my job, you ladies here at TTGP. Being able to celebrate at the happiest place on Earth is pretty freakin' awesome also! Thankful for those making sacrifices so that I have ability to be thankful for all of these things. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I am so thankful for my wonderful husband. He makes every day better than the last. we laugh together daily and that is one of the greatest blessings. I am thankful for all of my family and the love and support they give me. I'm thankful for the TTC journey that we are on and the family we have envisioned for ourselves. I'm thankful for this board and the women to support me and have helped me greatly with learning how to monitor my body to beat predict my fertile window.
I'm thankful for my DH, my RE, the money we have for the RE, my beautiful dogs, and all the supportive people I have found on here. Also.. alcohol! Especially around this time of year..
Me: 25 Dh: 25 Married since July, 2011
Diagnosed with PCOS 2010

I think it may be a first, but I'm thankful for my family. Well, extended family. We made huge changes in our lives this year and it would have been a million times harder had it not been for my aunts, uncle, and cousins being so incredibly supportive and helpful. I love them so much and I never really knew them before this summer.
Son: Jackson, 11/02/06, stillborn due to PPROM and IUGR. Over the next ten years we had 9 miscarriages from 8-14 weeks. On May 18, 2016 my daughter, Ridley, was born. We're OADNBC.
I am thankful for making some kickass friends on TB. I'm terrible at making friends IRL and having so many of you be willing to talk to me, support me, commiserate with me, laugh with me...it's a goddamn lifesaver. I genuinely don't know where I'd be without you -- you know who you are.
I'm also thankful for being in the kind of community here that sticks up for one another instead of "standing" idly by and letting shitty things happen around you. I know that it's easier to speak up on the internet, but it still gives me a sense of pride that we're not a bunch of assholes that turn a blind eye and whistle to make things go away. I love you guys.
Please note that due to the actions of TheBump and their parent company, XO Corporation, I no longer feel safe or comfortable posting regularly on this forum for my pregnancy journey.

I am so thankful for H and my family who do nothing but support me. I am also so thankful for my recent promotion so I can continue to help support my family.
I am thankful for the restored faith in humanity that this board gave me! It is so nice to hear people reflecting on the good things in their lives. I am thankful for so much- my silly husband, who does so much to spoil me even when I don't deserve it, our sweet kitties, good families, our financial stability, our home, caring employers, the ability to help others, and continued raised temps (lol) to name a few. Here's to a wonderful community that help me keep my crazy under control so my husband can deal with me!
I've realized in the last month or so that I have so much to be thankful for (after spending the previous months feeling not so fortunate - long story). All the "normal" stuff really, so I won't bore you all with that. However, I would like to say that despite my rocky landing here on the TTGP board, I am so incredibly thankful to have found my way here. I have learned so much more here just by reading comments from so many knowledgeable women. And I know I can always count on coming here for a good laugh when I need it too. This has become my "internet home" and I love it here (but also hope I get to leave soon lol).
I'm thankful for my wonderful husband, our puppy dog Maddux, my family, having somewhere to live and food to eat today, our vehicles, and our wonderful group of friends!

Curious about my ute?
1) Family & good friends make my life very rich.

4) Arrested Development, The Office & all the shows that make me laugh.
5) A huge buck ran out in front of me last night on my way home. Thankful I didn't hit him.
6) Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, TobyMac & all the musicians that inspired me to pursue playing music.
7) My mom. A three time cancer surviving hero.
8) Sugar free Red Bull.
9) This forum. Seriously. I'm crazy about you guys & I'm so glad I've been able to know each of you.
