I'm thankful for the willingness of so many people to step up and help me out in the end of pregnancy. I can be quite proud and don't really ask for their help... but I'm still thankful for the people that all offer to give it. Im thankful that with multiple snowstorms this week my husband has been given permission to work from home a few times-it is a bit of a help to me with DD, but mainly a huge help with my anxieties to know he's in the house if i need him.
Im thankful for all of YOU this community has been so wonderful this pregnancy! Such a great escape to rant away, voice concerns, and just share the experience of pregnancy and motherhood! Creepy internet hugs, guys!!!
I'm thankful DH can work from home today so that i don't have to worry about him driving in all the snow and maybe we can get some things done around the house too
Thankful the weather is supposed to be nice this weekend so I can get my butt in gear and get a few things done like clean the cars, get the infant bases installed, and switch out DS's carseat. Also, supremely thankful for chiropractors today. I had never been to one before I got pregnant, but last night's adjustment made me feel so much better.

Thankful today also that DH was able to work from home so I could take his Jeep in to work & thankful the snow here seems to be done for the day! Also grateful to have made it this far along in my pregnancy & hopefully able to carry this little one to full term!
Thankful for all the baby kicks and wiggles, lately I've been needing the reassurance that all is well in there. Sooo thankful I have all of you good friends are a wonderful thing! Thankful for how helpful my DH has been lately.
Today I am thankful for my family. My 3 year old has been throwing up since 8am this morning and progressively getting worse, but my MIL was supposed to come over and finalize some stuff for the baby shower that could not be postponed so I felt like I could do both and told her to come on anyway. She came over, and not only helped me with the shower stuff but took care of my DD while I was eating or using the bathroom and she did the lunch dishes for me! And my DH is graciously bringing home dinner for me, because being 8mo pregnant, having spent the entire day being vomited on, chasing around my DS and MIL's dog, cooking, cleaning up after everyone, laundry, visiting with MIL and assembling baby shower centerpieces, makes for one sore and sleepy mama! But baby shower is this Sunday and I'm really looking forward to it so, thankful for helpful family and for my seemingly endless well of patience I have developed over the years.
So thankful for my son, Who turned 2 years old on Tuesday. I can't even remember what it was like to not be Mommy. I mean, I remember the stuff I did and when and all my free time, but I cant quite remember what all that was LIKE. My whole brain is just different. That is the gift my son gives to me every day, making me into a new person just as he is growing up and changing all the time.

I was just watching a story about a toddler who was killed when a tv fell on her. Obviously it is important to share stories like that, and I hope all of us anchor all furniture carefully! But you know her parents love her just as much as I love my son. They did everything they thought necessary to protect her. And then she was gone. It just hits me right in the gut realizing.how my son and his being here and me getting to raise him every day is such a gift. Even days like today when he is grumpy and feeling poorly and refuses to eat, lol. Such a gift. I don't think I'm expressing the feeling well, but it's the best I can do. My heart is simultaneously brwak8my and so so grateful I don't have to learn things like this through hard experience.
Please please anchor your furniture guys. The comments under the story were kinda scary. "A dresser fell on me and obviously I was fine." Definitely something to take seriously!
I'm thankful that tomorrow I will be 37 weeks and while I want baby to stay in for 3 more weeks, if she were to come now she would likely be just fine. I'm also grateful to have had such an easy, uneventful pregnancy. I am very lucky.
I'm super thankful for baby classes, even when they are sometimes horrifying. Coming from a hugantic family and having several friends that have kids, I thought I'd be pretty darn ready for all this baby stuff, but I am really, really glad that I am going to Baby ABC's and to childbirth classes now - so many things that, because I was always the aunt or cousin, I never had to personally deal with. So glad to be learning it all in a Babies for Dummies style crash course now!
I am thankful for so many things right now! My husband is amazing (working full time, taking care of me and DS and our home), my mom has put her life on hold to be here 3-4 days per week while DH is working (12-14 hr shifts), my DS who is definitely acting out, knowing something is different, has been bringing his toys, books, etc to me so I can play with him and you ladies for being such a great support system.
