Cheesy I know... But I'm so thankful that I get to experience being pregnant and get to prepare for this baby. I am the happiest person in the world when my husband and I get on the couch at night time and just talk about the baby.
I am so thankful for the technology we have access to nowadays. I get my ultrasound this afternoon to hopefully address some issues and the fact that this technology is available to my baby and I, blows me away. I am so fortunate and grateful that all this medical knowledge and advances are at my fingertips.
I am also thankful for the $10 promo code I was emailed this morning from the supplement/vitamin store as I desperately need more protein powder.
I'm thankful that I have access to a team of doctors and nurses to care for me and my baby. It really is a luxury.
I'm thankful for a family that has bent over backwards to provide things for me and this baby. We have not had to buy a single necessity. My husband told me last night, "I just had to stop my car and thank God because I have no idea how we became this blessed." I definitely feel the same way.
I'm also reeeeally grateful for whoever said to try frozen grapes on here. They've been life changing when I'm sweating like a pig in 95 degree weather. =D>
I am thankful for my amazing in-laws. God truly blessed me with the most amazing people! My birth mother is non-existant in my life, my dad is a work-a-holic and recovering alcoholic (who isn't doing so well with the recovery) who has only told me he loved me once in 30yrs. My step-mom is flaky and just "different" since I graduated high school (13yrs ago). My brother and his girlfriend don't really talk to us because we aren't "city" people, my middle sister lives 17hrs away, and my baby sister is just figuring out life as a single lesbian in a new city (though, I'm closest to her and she visits about once every 2 months). It's a mess! My husband has parents that have loved me and my boys (from a previous marriage) since I came into the picture. My BIL and SIL have recently started to want to hang out more and be an amazing Aunt & Uncle. It's soooo great! I'm so very thankful for the amazing people that have come into our lives and would bend over backwards for our kids!!

I'll be a total weirdo and be thankful for the Bump. Even though it annoys the life out of me sometimes with what people feel the need to post about, I've learned a lot from you women who have conquered motherhood before me. Knowledge is power and while I feel that I have decent common sense and research skills, many of you have taught me valuable tips and lessons.
On that note and because I don't want to start a thread about dreams: last night I had a dream that @breezymeema7 had dated a guy that I've known since I was in grade school. Somehow I started dating him in present time and @SassetteSmurfling blasted me on here, using my full legal name for scamming on her leftovers. I tried defending myself saying I've known him forever and it just happened but I was mobile and couldn't get all my typos to correct and was super stressed about it. So well done... You've all crossed over into my subconscious and are in my dream world now. :-/
I'm thankful I've made it 31 weeks so far! My sister had PPROM at 24 weeks and delivered at 30, and once you see what that's like sometimes it's hard to not think it will happen to you too. So getting past week 30 seems like a milestone to me. I'm also thankful all of our family is coming to visit us before baby comes to see us and get quality time with our DD.
I am so thankful I don't have to travel for work until February. I got out of the rest until then due to pregnancy and newborn. I usually don't mind traveling because I get a giant hotel bed all to myself and get to go out to restaurants with people without a three year old crawling on me. However, I did not want to go on the most recent one. I wanted to stay home with my husband and (outside) baby and nest. So thankful I can relax now and concentrate on this baby coming.
Thankful for just being pregnant and God blessing my husband and I with this precious baby! A friend of mine has been going through difficulties trying to get pregnant. It's tough because I want to talk about mine but I don't want to make her upset. All I know is that I pray for her all the time and thank God for sparing us that pain because I don't know if I could be as strong as she has been. She's an inspiration!
I'm thankful for friendly people that are welcoming even though I've relocated to a new state for less than 3 weeks so far. I can't believe how many mom resources are out there and how welcoming people are.
I'm thankful for transitioning hospitals at 29 weeks and had only a few gaps to close between care. Changing hospitals AND insurance this late in the game is definitely a stressful matter.
I'm thankful that although its not perfect, at least I'm talking to my mom 1x a week vs going for 4 months getting the silent treatment from her over trivial matters.
I'm thankful my MIL is visiting for a week in July to help me do furniture consignment store shopping, something I would avoid doing myself. She's been great in crafting, making a car seat cover, burp cloths, and other things for the baby.
I'm thankful DH has picked up most of the painting now since I can't do it, and we'll have 50% of this house painted before the baby arrives. We'll get the in-laws to finish the rest of it since they like projects and keeping busy.
I'm thankful my GD counseling session today went well. I have the tools I need to keep things in line and great doctors in my corner to help. I was terrified, nervous, and afraid at first but I know Gods got it under control. I'm thankful!
I'm thankful for my son and my FIL. Today has been a rough day and didn't have the strength to move, so they took care of me. I'm also thankful for my crazy fabric hoarding that I had in February bc now I can sit in bed and sew stuff for my lil girl.
Thankful for my husband who sat through my glucose test and held my hand when i failed it. Also for agreeing to go on this change of eating with me. More salads and chicken for this household.
I am so thankful for my husband who has been so supportive and loving towards me (especially recently) as this pregnancy is getting harder on my body. Also, he is so excited about this baby.... He is literally sitting across from me right now watching videos on YouTube of newborn babies in anticipation of our little one's arrival lol. I love this man so much!
I'd like to add that I'm VERY thankful for DH. We made a trip to Macy's to pick up a necklace for my sister as a thank you for helping with my shower. While I was taking care of that, he ventured into another store nearby so I figured I'd stop in Hallmark and pick up his Father's Day card. Long story short, I ended up leaving Hallmark in tears because I wasn't prepared for all the dad stuff. When I met him in the store he was in, I was a mess and all I managed to get out was, "I clipped you some coupons." and handed him a fistfull of coupons I had clipped earlier this week. He was very confused and when he saw the Hallmark bag, he held my hand (and me) until I pulled myself together and then he told me he loved me and we could talk when or if I ever felt like it. Sigh. This is hard, but I am so grateful to have someone like him to make it easier. :x
I'm thankful that today I was able to completely pay off my credit cards. It's such a burden lifted off mine and DH's shoulders since I won't be working as much once August comes. It's been a difficult few months for us, and this is very welcomed piece of good news. I'm debt free!!!
Thankful hubby finally sold his truck today, and we can buy a second four door vehicle (I've got one myself and I looooooove it).
Today hubby and I have been together three years!
And even though getting laid off sucks, and unemployment has been boring, I've been grateful to be able to take it easy during my pregnancy. After finding out I have Lupus, which makes me really tired all the time, on top of being pregnant tired, being able to rest before baby girl gets here is a blessing. Now if I could just get her nursery done lol.
@laurenashley519 congrats!! That is a big deal and can be so hard! DH and I recently were able to do this as well and it feels fantastic. Now to get rid of these pesky student loans

Lol. Is he at least cute @megvaddi ? And I totally have bumpie dreams too
@breezymeema7@megvaddi Oh thank God, I thought I was the only one having Bump dreams. There have been times I have woken up in the morning and had to check to see if these things happened or if I was just completely lost in Bumpie Dreamland.
I'm thankful that even though I was a super emotional bitch this morning DH made dinner so I didn't have to. Not only did he make dinner, but 1 of my comfort food favs, my dads "secret" recipe chicken nuggets (its so secret it only has 2 ingredients other then chicken lol). So after another emotional breakdown, I am well fed and putting my swollen feet up and enjoying the nice breeze out on the deck.
So thankful for my husband and all of his love and support, as well as our families! I'm most thankful for my little girl growing in my belly, it's the best feeling ever!
I was thankful my doctor couldn't make it to my appt because she had to deliver another baby. As a result I got to hang out with an awesome NP that was super sweet

It's funny cause he's not unattractive, but I'm not personally attracted to him in the least, so I don't know why my brain chose him. And from what I've gathered, he's not your bald beefy type either.
I am thankful that our families are so excited for us. They have purchased the crib, mattress, bedding and the dresser for the nursery, which was totally unexpected. We are truly blessed!
I am also very thankful that when I had my crazy pregnancy spur-of-the-moment "awesome" idea that we should sleep outside in a tent tonight with DS that DH did not jump all over it. As I just took the dog out to pee I realized what a HORRIBLE idea that was - seriously...as it is I have to get up every hour to pee, why the heck would I want to deal with that in a tent?!?! No thanks!!
I'm thankful for the little bit of hope I still have in this terrible world. The shooting in Charleston makes me so nervous to bring kids into this world. It's so scary to know someone can be so evil and kill anyone they choose. I hope to raise both of my children to value life as much as I do.
Good question. I "think" it went okay. They didn't rush me to L&D so that's good, right? Baby's kidneys are indeed blocked, but not as severe as it could be so I will just continue getting monitored for that every couple of weeks. The tech wouldn't say anything about my fluid level, but my cervix/cerclage are holding up just fine as of right now, so I'm happy with that. I see Dr again next week and hopefully will get a bit more information then. But all in all, I feel okay about it. Thanks for checking in ladies

@megvaddi you know me so well
If you happen to see anything like this walking around, please send him my way! Prison tats and all 
Yes, I have been anxiously awaiting an update too
