So glad you posted this because I am thankful about something and would love to share. Even though I found out that I have short cervix, well cervix is closed, and my Bella Is showing a week a head of schedule . Will be induced at 38 weeks and excited to meet my baby girl. My life and perspective is changing since I was blessed with this little angel. My partner and I are growing and very thrilled what parenthood can do for us. Thanks again for this post, we need more positivity on this thread.
Thankful Thursday goes out to my DH who has been working 11 hour days plus a 2 to 3 hour commute on top of that. Yesterday he gets off after only 8 hours and when he comes home he used the extra time home to help me finish the baby's crib and closet so I can finish his room up! I was so grateful because I'd gotten everything to the point where it was just waiting for his superior skills to help out and now it's done!
I'm thankful for my husband and all of his love and support despite all of the stress we've been under! I'm also thankful that our little girl is still cooking and growing right on track. I'm thankful that my meds haven't thrown me through a loop today too!
So thankful for my SO, who works full time and comes home to take care of me all night while I'm on bedrest. He never misses an appointment, and never turns down a request from me. Also thankful for his mother, who brings me food and calls to check in on me several times a week. Finally, thankful to my mom who calls me three times a day just to keep me entertained :x
I am thankful for my father in law who is once again coming over to help take care of the garbage/catbox/yard since my husband has been in bootcamp. He is amazing.
I am also thankful that I have a doctors appointment today!
I am thankful DH does all the yard work and really pushed hard in getting the rooms in the house painted to help with my mood. They were super dark before and made me wake up tired since it felt like a cave.
Also thankful for a library nearby.. grabbed a few books to keep me occupied for the calm before the storm (going from 0 kids to 1).
So very thankful to have a car again after not for a week. I was getting very down and depressed having to stay home with DS that long and not seeing anyone else besides DH. Also thankful DH is a mechanic and over the years have saves us TONS of money doing the work himself!
Thankful my DH was able to go with me to DDs well baby appointment today. It's getting hard for me to carry her around these days and I feel really bad today; nausea, headaches, hot flashes and TMI diarrhea. He held her while she got her finger pricked and got her shot and she didn't even cry. Im also thankful tomorrow is a new day because I am so over this pounding headache.
I'm thankful today is my Friday! I only have 2 more hours of this crazy place and then I'm off until Monday, then only work till Wednesday before we go out on holiday and I'm on modified bed rest starting the 6th.

I'm so very thankful that my boys are all healthy and happy and that soon we will be welcoming another little boy into the world! Also so thankful to my mom and sister for throwing me a baby shower and promising there will be no guess mommy's weight or how big is her belly games lol
I'm thankful for a hubby who took such good care of me while I endured a stomach virus yesterday. And a healthy baby who showed his adorable face at our ultrasound!
I'm thankful I'm pregnant and this baby is happening. Sometimes when I'm focused on my aching back, or lack of sleep, or whatever else is bothering me, I forget everything it took to get here. Multiple surgeries, $20k on IVF, shots, blood tests, long drives to seattle, the suspense, stress and tears... I almost forget it even happened.
I am so thankful that my beautiful baby girl who was born at 31 weeks & 6 days is doing amazing! I have been bringing her 5-6 milk bags a day for the past week and I noticed yesterday that all her milk bags had sweet little notes on them from my husband!! He didn't even tell me he has been doing this the whole time! Took me by surprise and melted my heart.. he was like I hope the nurses read them to her... so extremely thankful for a hard working loving husband & my other 3 beautiful kiddos :x

I am thankful I have pregnancy brain to blame on my stupid thoughts and lack of ability to connect my brain and my mouth lately. For example, when I read your post @cllgarrison I totally thought you were saying you were thankful that your DH went to Dunkin Donuts (DD) with you today. I thought it was a strange thing to be thankful for (I am more thankful when mine goes FOR me than with), but I figured, "Eh, to each their own..." THEN the brain clicked back on!!

I would also have been thankful for Dunkin! There are only 3 I think in my HUGE city so I never get it. (

That is depressing!! I used to hate when I was traveling for work and I was in a state that did not have Dunkin.
I can not express how thankful I am for my family and everything they have done and continue to do for me... Now I feel all emotional and crap and want to call everybody and tell them how much I love and appreciate them.
Thankful for my husband who has a great job to support us, and who loves to play with his daughter when he gets home so I can have a break!
Also thankful for my parents and in-laws who are amazing and go out of their way to spend time with their granddaughter. I feel really blessed to have supportive family and friends.
Realize I'm a little late but I'm thankful for my DH. Last night I was feeling really really horrible about myself. Just feeling like a huge pregnant wale and unattractive. I told him so and then that I knew he was just going to say 'well you're not fat you're pregnant' and he said no I'm just going to do this and gave me lots of hugs and kisses and kept going 'I love' (it's just our funny little thing). And said 'just because you have a belly doesn't make you unattractive'
I'm thankful for my family and friends. Being a FTM they knew what I needed and brought me everything. I was so overwhelmingly grateful to them. Little Ava will not want for anything.
I'm also very thankful for my DH. He has been picking up so much of my slack since my back has been given me so much trouble and I'm less mobile. Thank you everybody.
@kettlekitten I hear you on getting your DH back! My DH was getting his when DS was born...those days he had class SUCKED! He didn't get home until after 10...I was dying for adult time and 15 min to myself by then!
I know it's now Sunday, but I didn't want to start another post. We've been struggling with how we're going to get our boys ready for this upcoming school year. They go back the 1st week of August, which is when I'm due for my c-section(God willing.) We had a very detailed budget plan for when we'd be able to buy new shoes, back packs, uniforms(they're sooo expensive!), & school supplies for our 2 boys. Me going on bedrest a month ago washed that budget down the drain! Well I have gotten 2 calls over the weekend from 2 family members. My grandmother is going to buy them new shoes and back packs. My Great Aunt is going to buy them all of their school supplies and uniforms. We didn't ask for help, nor did they know we would need it. I am beyond thankful and close to tears at how incredible my family is.
I know it's Sunday but I have been so busy I had no clue what day it was. I am beyond thankful for DH and working hard at his new job that has given us more benefits and pay that DH is comfortable letting me be a stay at home mom when LO comes along.
I am also thankful to all of the beautiful women on The Bump for being there for each other and help out with any concerns or questions.

That DH has finally finished his MBA.. So I can have him back in the evenings!
@akumatora I wish you all the best, that's a very brave move, but you and your baby deserve more! Let us know how you go.

That would make me very sad! And cranky.
