Happy-Thankful Thread Wed 4/8

HoosOnFirst · April 2015

It seems many of us are grumpy this week, myself included.

What's good about this week?

For me, I'm thankful there are 4 bathroom opportunities on my commute to and from work.

Also, today I had a seat all to myself on the commuter train!

Lastly, DH finished the nursery last night and so now time to move furniture in!

Here's a photo of one corner of the room with the decals I put up. Every time I look at the room I get happy.

Your nursery is SO PRETTY!!! I love it!

For mine, going to go with my baby shower on Saturday! I'm so excited for it! This one is hosted by my MIL for DH's side of the family but she also invited a bunch of my college friends. The ones who haven't graduated yet aren't able to go because it's the same day as our sorority's formal but those who have graduated and live in the area will be there! So nice of MIL to include them!

Thankful for the chance to easily visit my grandmother one more time before LO comes and makes the long trip more difficult logistically.

Ah! Good call on the thankful thread. And love that color in the nursery!

For me, my mom called yesterday and told me that my stepdad would NOT be coming after Ewok is born, for which I am super relieved. I sense my sister's hand in this, as its a pretty abrupt departure from what it sounded like he wanted to do, and I had been talking with my sister about how stressed out I was that he was coming. So, thankful that she advocated for me, and thankful that I won't have to actually entertain when I am trying to figure out how to deal with a baby.

Also thankful for Samurai, my Ewok Praetorian Guard, for being my furry friend

HoosOnFirst · April 2015

@mellymar that's good about your stepdad - if I recall threads from months back, he's pretty painful to deal with as far as houseguests go, right? Wants everything to feel like a vacation?

KaLikeAWind · April 2015

@hoodoll82 exactly. He was actually calling it a vacation. His personality is such that he would have expected us (my mom and I) to work around him. He would have wanted to watch golf in the evenings, and so of course we would all just watch golf. We would have dinner when he was hungry, and my mom or I would be responsible for preparing it ("I'm thinking about some food soon, what do you guys think?" Is code for 'one of you should go make dinner so I can eat'). Time to feed the baby? Well, he's watching golf so I guess I'll rouse myself from my place of comfort in my own home and take my kid and flash my boobs in another room, every 2-3 hours. I wouldn't have minded he come ANY other time, but with a less than 1 month old? While I'm still struggling to learn to breastfeed and adjust to having a screaming baby and I have no idea what the hell I'm doing right now? I'm trying to ask my mom for advice and you're asking about dinner? Really?!?
Just not the best time for that personality type to stay in my home with me. So yes, thankful.

I'm so thankful to officially hit 32 weeks today - when I was admitted to antepartum I was 29w5d with the goal of 32 weeks! Now our goal is 34 or 35 weeks!!! Woohoo!!! And my fluid is holding steady around 4-5.5 over the past 3 days - fingers crossed that continues

This IS good news! Well done, mama!

I'm thankful that I have this big work event tonight, but can crash tomorrow and Friday and don't have to be anywhere.

Thankful for my black kitty, who never wants to leave my side.

Thankful for my hubby, who is Superman and a water nazi at the same time.

teather5 · April 2015

Love reading all these! Yay for great news and happiness all around!

I'm thankful for great movement from baby these past few days and for my upcoming shower on Saturday. I have been looking forward to my one day baby shower since before we conceived. We have a big family and I love family events!

laurendutch · April 2015

My husband decided to take a whole sick day tomorrow so I can go to my Diabetes Clinic. I'm hoping to get more stuff for the nursery.

KarasTwin · April 2015

I'm thankful that I'm leaving work an hour early today (eating lunch at my desk) to go get my hair done. I can't wait for someone else to wash my hair and it's an Aveda salon with that delightful tingly mint shampoo. I'll also get to see my family after....hoping my mama cooks something delightful for supper.

megmama · April 2015

I've been sooo busy this week prepping for what I'm thankful for - flying up to spend the weekend with my OR family tomorrow evening! I've still got some last-minute things to do but I am so happy!

karaelaine1991 · April 2015

I have another one - my MIL just found out she has a HUGE car repair bill, and as a Catholic school teacher, she doesn't have the funds for it. Well, my FIL has offered to fix it for her for the price of the parts, which is like a quarter of what it would cost her at the garage! They're divorced and in the past they have REALLY not gotten along well at all. I'm hoping that this is a sign of them starting to put aside their differences! It would be so wonderful for everyone involved if they start being nice to each other, in spite of their past problems.

jlpcdt2015 · April 2015

I just got news that my mom found an apartment and will be moving out of our place in 2 weeks! I loved having my mom stay with us and I'm going to miss her being there however I'm thankful that we will be able to start setting up Lo nursery once all her things are moved out!

lovethatcolosun · April 2015

I'm thankful for the play date I hosted this morning so not only could DS get some friend interaction, but that I could also have adult conversation. Also my house is now clean because of that.

I'm thankful for a hardworking hubby that spends his free time finishing up other projects around the house so they're done before LO arrives.

Thankful I am repairing a broken friendship today, though the process hasn't been pretty, I'm glad we are able to say our peace and find a way to move forward. Confrontation sucks, but I'm learning how to put my big girl panties on and deal with the shit that's been bothering me.

virginiaunicorn11 · April 2015

I had a pretty seminal day at work today, after nailing a major presentation. It was well received, but more importantly, I felt myself really come into my own today - I understood my value added and Owned It. I know I will look back on this as a turning point in my professional confidence.

I used to think movie stars always thanked their spouses at the academy awards because it was sweet and polite. (Obviously not saying I'm at that level, lol - not THAT much confidence!) But I learn every day this year that I literally wouldn't be able to achieve any of this without DH's support. Thankful for that awareness and maturity.

AlyLynn07 · April 2015

Thankful for all the love and support of family, especially DH and my mom

it's getting harder and harder to walrus-roll this body around and they have been great!

I was also PSYCHED to be able to FaceTime with my brother yesterday. It was the first time we have been able to talk directly since he was deployed to Afghanistan in February. So proud of him!

cbrtncanadian · April 2015

Thankful for having had a great visit with my family at Easter and for another appointment (30weeks) with my OB saying everything looks great and right on track.

mamameghan · April 2015

I'm thankful that when our car overheated tonight I wasn't on my own and there was a repair place close enough to drive to! No need to tow and wait hours. The bonus is that we were really close to home so we were able to leave the car and walk home. Now they've looked at it and it looks like a super cheap fix so I'm even more thankful. Our savings were depleted by a big tax bill and I don't know what we would have done if it was a crazy big fix

seesea · April 2015

Had an appt with my MFM today. Everything looks good and the baby is healthy! He also told me that I still need to stay off work until I recover after the baby is born. Surprisingly I took the news well. I was hoping I could go back to work since finances haven't been the same and I really miss my students. However, I'm grateful to take this time off to let my body rest and it's given me a chance to bond with DS.

As usual, I'm thankful for DH. Every time I worry he knows the right things to say. He's also been a trooper finding ways to save and make a little more money for our family. I love him even more for being patient with me while I was being a raving lunatic with an itchy belly.

Westypet · April 2015

I'm thankful for awesome work-related success! I've been in direct sales for just under two years, and my girls added 5 people to our team tonight, which means I have to work a little less in the months before I go on leave! Yay for more money! So relieved that since I felt like the walking dead at the event tonight, it still was a success.
