I'm struggling to be thankful today... but I'm definitely thankful for this morning's coffee and for a new month that brings us one step closer to meeting baby.
Also thankful for December.. DS is 16 months today which seems impossible. So thankful for him and for DH. I honestly could not have married a more perfect fit for me.
I'm thankful for coffee, too! I do a small cup of half caf in the morning and I savor every last drop!! Also so very thankful for family. This week my SIL offered to watch our little guy 2 days a week when I go back to work, just knowing the reduction in daycare cost we will save will allow us to put more money into the business that DH runs, and closer to our dreams of him operating the business full time eventually, it's just making me even more excited about the future.
I'm thankful that this December I'm pregnant with a healthy growing baby, because last year's December was the worst one of my life. I'm going to try to work hard to be positive this month, if only to actively remind myself that when stretch marks pop up, the bathroom scale goes nuts, and I feel huger than ever (seriously, just when you think you can't stretch any more.. ), that I wanted all this and more 12 months ago, and I felt robbed of it. I spent the first half of 2016 so broken, so lost, and I want the world to know I'm truly, truly thankful for this baby. I'll take all the stretch marks, uncomfortable stretching, and weight gain over the hell I went through last holiday season.

I'm also really thankful for a husband who cooks. (Among other things!)
I am so thankful for my DH, yesterday was a hard day and he was so supportive and encouraging. I am thankful for every kick from this baby and everything people have given us for the baby.
Today I am thankful to be pregnant. Every kick (even those that hit me straight in the bladder), every moment of tossing and turning in the night. Every ache and pain. Sometimes it is so easy to get bogged down in what sucks about pregnancy, but I have wanted this for a long time and thanks to a lot of prayer and some help from modern medicine I am finally here and I couldn't be more grateful.

I'm thankful for holiday music today! My boss is driving me nuts, and holiday music is making it so much more bearable.
Also I second the thankfulness above about being pregnant. It was a little long ride for us to conceive, so we are certainly thankful that our baby girl is going to be in our lives, and so far is healthy as can be
I am thankful to be pregnant, but also thankful I'm about 3.5 months away from scheduled c-section date. I second guess and have serious anxiety about every pain while pregnant and I'm ready to have a healthy baby here! Also thankful it's almost the end of DH's semester. It's been a tough one.

I'm thankful that it's Thursday! My H has already put in a full 40 hours and still has today and tomorrow. The weekends are the only time we really get to see each other.
@DrillSergeantCat I feel ya. DH maybe sees DS for a half hour on weekdays and I might see him for 2. Thankfully they have a holiday party tomorrow so I get an extra half day with him
Had a doc appt yesterday and I was put on modified work and basically house arrest because she doesn't want me out and about with crowds but still thankful that overall I'm healthy and still pregnant and excited about my maternity pictures mid December.
I am thankful it is the holiday season. It is my favorite time of year and since last years was such bummer, I am so grateful that things are going well this year.
And I am thankful that the baby decided to have a party last night from 4:30 am to 6 am. He was rolling around and moving so much and I loved every moment of it.
I'm thankful for my health. I started to get a cold this week and my throat has been killing me the last two days, so I'm grateful I normally don't have to deal with being sick...something I take for granted too much usually. Also thankful my classes are wrapping up and I only have one more big assignment/presentation due for each of them...so thankful to have A+ averages in each also and that the end of the semester is in sight!
Thankful for DH. He really is everything to me. Sometimes I feel like a failure because of work and he always says that I am going to be something big one day, that my company is lucky to have me.I want to believe him, but I am so thankful that I have one person who continuously makes me feel proud about what I am doing.
I am so thankful it's Christmastime! This is my favorite month: I love the holiday spirit, camaraderie, joy, Advent season, decorations, sweaters, gingerbread, hot chocolate, cider, family (mostly, hehe), and even all the cheesy Christmas music and movies. I love to see Christmas trees and lights around town, so DH drags me around like that scene of Buddy and Jovie in "Elf." Aww I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy just thinking about it. And NEXT Christmas we will have a tiny son to start Christmas morning traditions with!!!!

So thankful for events that unfolded yesterday. for background purposes my H's job is one he loves and has had going on 3 years. they have been massively slow lately so when his boss and other upper management wanted to have a private meeting with him we were nervous it may be news of being layed off or maybe mandatory furlowe. it turns out they were wanting to have a performance review and give him a raise and basically tell him he's the future of the company and want to cater to him. They also reassured him lots of more work. I love his job so so much, this is only a drop in the bucket of what they've done for us. to top it all off we we're able to get a really nice reliable car from someone we know and pay cash and therefore will have no more lease payments. things are falling into place so nicely and I'm just so so grateful.
