I'm so thankful for my family - got to have some toddler assistance from my mom and sister yesterday! Thankful I'm another week closer to being done with pregnancy. And! Thankful DD was able to be convinced to go back to sleep until 7:30 cuddling in bed with me So much better than 5am!
I'm thankful that DH has a 4 day weekend! I knew he had Monday off but found out yesterday that he has tomorrow off too This is especially great bc he's seen DS a total of about 20 min since Monday and it breaks my heart.
also thankful that DS is still sleeping like a champ.. knocking on all of the wood
Thankful that I've actually slept through the last two nights somehow, so I'm feeling more caught up with sleep! (although the one night I went to bed super late at 1 because of homework) Also glad my winter semester is almost over & I've only got my spring class left to go for school, feels really good to be so close to finishing!
I am so thankful for the generosity of my family and friends. While I have not had a shower yet I have been starting to receive gifts in the mail. It's so overwhelming to think about how much stuff I will need for baby, and I am just so grateful to my loved ones for their help!
Today I'm thankful for my flexible job. Sent over my requests to work at home after 37 weeks and then the first two weeks back after my leave is up and there was no resistance whatsoever.

I moved over the summer and between feeling sick and being slammed at work, haven't really gotten to know many people here. A bunch of women from church reached out to me and offered to throw me a baby shower yesterday. As I don't have family near, I was deeply touched and very grateful. Getting everything on my own was really feeling overwhelming. But more importantly, it's nice to feel like I am building a new support network of friends here. I'm beyond grateful!
I'm just so thankful for all the support I have around me. I don't usually ask for help but I was put on bed rest for a couple days (not really baby related) on a liquid only diet and SO's mom really helped by keeping DD over night so I could get some real rest. I hate asking people to keep her but we also just bought our first house so we've had lots of bank appointments and inspection appointments etc and my neighbours were really nice about us leaving her there for a few hours a couple times this week.. They fed her well and kept her happy. I couldn't ask for more.
Also rewind to me saying we just bought our first house. Closing date march 3rd, due date march 17th. We've had an abundance of offers from friends and family to help with either keeping DD while we move/clean and/or help with cleaning. Its a big home and it's old, it needs some immediate TLC and I'm not sure how much energy I will have 2 weeks before due date so I'm feeling overwhelmingly appreciative of everyone. Even my godmother offered to travel over an hour on the closing date to help clean. I'm just so thankful!
Thankful for the ridiculously warm weather we're having today- it's 70 and sunny instead of freezing and snowy. I blew off chores and spent over an hour outside in the sun, and I feel so much more balanced and optimistic and energetic and just GOOD right now. I have the whole house airing out. It's amazing.
