Even though I'm very miserable and I can't stand the feel of my own fat and skin, I'm thankful that this baby is healthy and he's taking his time to fully develop. That's the biggest thing right now.
I'm thankful I have a job that pays the bills and it will continue to do so even after adding one more person.
Even though I'm in so much pain every day and sometimes it's unbearable, I'm thankful that I'm still healthy.
I'm thankful that my daughter has had such a great time at her grandparents' while my husband I and got to adjust to our newest addition at home! I'm also thankful that DS is so content and a good eater/sleeper.
Hopefully next week I can be thankful for how well my daughter adjusted to being back at home with a new sibling
A mild winter! After 2 winters with record wind chills at 30 or 40 below and LOTS of snow, I was super concerned about the whole pregnancy winter coat/snowpants/boots situation, especially since I'm a total wimp about winter weather. I've been fine in normal pants, it hasn't really snowed since I out-swelled my snow boots, and I have been plenty warm just doing the top two toggles of my same old winter coat. What a freaking terrific surprise!
I am incredibly thankful for having an awesome DD and a loving DH. They've been pretty awesome the last few days and I appreciate them taking me and my hormones in stride.
I'm thankful for DH who has been helping out a lot around the house to help get ready for our LO. Last night when we went out the shelves in our pantry fell down making a mess. This morning he went out to get new shelving and put them back in so we have a kitchen table again and not food all over it.
I am thankful that we own a home. Despite the fact that we're in the middle of about 10 major house projects right now and little one could be here any day now, I'm grateful that we own our home and have a home to come home to.
I'm thankful for my wonderful husband. I've been over-doing it lately, and I've started getting really uncomfortable with pretty high BP. He sat me down last night and made me promise that I would start asking him for help instead of trying to do everything myself. He really has been wonderful throughout the entire pregnancy, and it warms my heart to know how concerned he is over mine and the baby's health and well being.
I'm thankful this baby will be here in ONE WEEK!!!! (unless he comes on his own before then) Very much looking forward to the things I used to take for granted....like, sleeping on my back and being able to shave my own legs. :-)
Im thankful my SO finally started his new job and that he's loving it!
Also, for vets. Our dog got torn up by a pitbull mix on sunday and, although he looks like Frankenstein with staples all over him to close wounds, Im sure he'd be suffering way worse with infections and broken teeth without the help from our vet.
I am thankful for my sweet and loving husband. My sweet puppy, Rocko and our pretty kitty, Rooster. I've loved all of the snuggles that I have been getting from my fur babies. Just like @AmadorRose mentioned, rescue animals really do love unlike any other animal
I am so blessed to have an amazing family.
Feelig really greatful for our home and that we have everything that our new baby will need.
This little guy is a week old tomorrow! I'm thankful he's been able to latch without the shield DD required, even if it's not very good yet. I'm also very thankful for pumps and nipple cream to get me through some rockin' cracks/sores while he's learning!
Also so thankful for DH and our moms - MIL stayed with DD the whole time we were at the hospital and then my mom came to stay with us for M-W so DH could go back to work for a few days (way easier for him to take 2-3 at a time than a full week straight) so I get a full 12 days with an extra adult before being home alone with DS and his 21mo sister. Plus my mom has been cooking and cleaning like a fiend this week - my house looks awesome and the fridge is overfull
I'm thankful my job is secure and I get paid 6 weeks of maternity leave.... But I'm also pissed that it's only 6 weeks because my little sausage legs would like to go on leave right now.
I'm thankful my family has finally accepted me having a baby with my fiancé
I'm thankful for my amazing fiancé who has been incredible this entire experience.
Im thankful for my assistant who is constantly telling me to not push myself so hard at work and picks up my slack when I just can't anymore.
And I'm thankful for this little boy growing inside of me being healthy and not having any major complications this pregnancy.
I'm thankful for my sweet #1 baby who came with me to his kindergarten orientation meeting tonight. He says it was "epic!" I can't believe he's old enough to be in kindergarten now.
I'm also thankful to be a in profession where I feel fulfillment and purpose in my days. They are long and not always easy, but I am lucky to be able to do what I do and know that I make an impact. (I'm an OTR working in geriatrics.)

It's a boy! Grow baby, grow! EDD: 4/22/2016
So blessed to have our families' support, and loving the moments when DH holds and talks to my belly.
Hopefully next week I can be thankful for how well my daughter adjusted to being back at home with a new sibling
I'm also thankful for SO putting up with my shit. Lack of sleep is the devil and he is the most patient person ever.
