I'm thankful for you ladies and especially all of the bump love i got yesterday. Normally, I'm about 105lbs and this pregnancy i've gained around 60lbs. i know some of it is due to the fact that this baby is measuring on the larger side and i have lots of extra fluid, but still, watching my body expand exponentially and not be able to do anything about it has been frustrating. you guys made me feel good about the torpedo belly so thank you
I'm thankful for this little boy in my belly. As hard as it is sometimes dealing with all the symptoms and everything lately & as much as I want March to get here, I'm really grateful to be pregnant and experience all this, especially knowing how many women can't or struggle to get/stay pregnant. I feel very lucky. I'm also thankful for Tums.
I'm thankful for all of you ladies - I found this board when I was googling things when I was going through a long road with IVF, then once I was pregnant I stumbled back here by googling and your helpful and supportive posts popped up in my google searches. Y'all are the best and I couldn't imagine going through this without you guys!
I'm also thankful for my father in law, who is outside in the cold putting new siding on our house because he wants to finish it before the baby comes. This is normal for him, he is a true New Englander and a carpenter and undeterred by weather but I'm sitting here eating peanut butter toast and just feeling really thankful for all the things he does for us. We told him not to worry about the siding for now, but he's on a mission!
I'm thankful for a healthy pregnancy! As I reach EDD in only three days, I want to be thankful for each day that comes-instead of dreading being pregnant a day longer.
Im thankful for financial stability. We don't have fancy things, live extravagantly or have a nice house. But we can afford to heat our little home, fill our closet with diapers for our two little butts, don't ever go to bed hungry, and should be able to pay off these incoming medical bills within the year. Sometimes i need perspective that I'm very blessed to have simple comforts that many are without.
Today I'm very thankful for such a flexible job that allows me to work from home half the time. And that it allowed me to take a much needed nap today.
I'm thankful for the friendship, support, and love on this board...I made some wonderful friends back when I was on "The Knot" that I still keep in touch with almost 8 years later, and I could definitely see that happening here, too.
I'm also thankful for my DH...he's been a rockstar with cooking, cleaning, and making sure I'm taking care of myself and baby. It's so cute to see him excited and I know he's gonna make a great dad to our son.

I'm so thankful for all ya'll. If you haven't felt the love from me then I'll work on piling it on some more! There's quite a few of you, if geography weren't a thing, I would love to have coffee with. Every day, this baby is moving around inside of me, I am thankful he is doing well. This week, I have been thankful for my loving kitties. Hoping they still love me when I bring home a loud, smelly baby.
So thankful for my husband. He hasn't made a peep about my lack of cleaning and me just lazing on the couch on the weekends. Normally we alternate every weekend on picking up dog poop, but he just goes outside and does it every week without complaining. When it comes to house cleaning, we normally divide certain parts of the house to clean and he's been cleaning the entire house, again with no complaints. He knows that any type of manual labor at this point kills my back and so I have a crazy amount of appreciation that he not only has been stepping up and doing extra work around the house, but he also doesn't expect me to give him a gold medal for it either. He just does it and goes about his day. I'm thankful that he realizes that I'm doing work too by carrying around a baby that has completely taken over my body, and also holding down the fort while he travels to Portland every week until we move. Taking care of myself, our toddler, and the dog with no help takes its toll and he recognizes that too.
I'm also thankful that we're fortunate enough to close on our new house tomorrow. We didn't have to sell our current house first to qualify for our loan and that's made things a lot less stressful since our current home hasn't sold yet. It'll suck to carry 2 mortgages for a bit, but I'm just glad that we can move next week and get settled before this baby comes.
I'm thankful to still be pregnant. Most triplet pregnancies go to 32 weeks, which I'll be on Saturday, and everything is still going well. BP is normal, no protein, GD is relatively easy to control so no major problems that indicate it's time for them to come.
Also thankful for our families, who are bringing over three premade easy to reheat dinners tomorrow so I can take a break from cooking for a little bit.

So thankful this week! I'm grateful for: - a dept chair who understands if I need to leave work early occasionally - the student who randomly bought me a Snickers from the vending machine because I "looked like I needed it" - my mom who is cooking chili with my son tomorrow and spaghetti sauce with my son next week to take care of some meals for us - the woman at church who offered to coordinate meal drop offs for us after baby Al8's is born
I'm thankful for @mrsmcfreckles FB page "and then came Ansley" which has been the most inspiring story I've heard in a while. I read it daily and it humbles me, challenges me, and brings me hope. Her faith is incredible and her family is a team of heroes.
I am so thankful for my lovely students! One class banded together to get some adorable onesies and a fox-hood towel, and another class banded together to fund a big Target gift card! It is nice to feel loved and appreciated in what is often a pretty thankless job, haha.
Also thankful that my mom finished her emergency root canal successfully and is now available again to be with me whenever this baby makes his appearance, haha.

I am thankful to be 37 weeks pregnant tomorrow! I know it is no longer considered full term, but I still feel like I've reached some sort of major milestone.
I'm thankful for: - My husband who really is like Jack from "This is Us" only better because he's mine and real. - My 22 month old wanting extra time snuggling tonight. - I was able to get my hair done today and have a prenatal massage scheduled for Monday. -Chinese food and how it's quick and fast and satisfying when you don't have time to cook. - February vacation next week where I get to lounge around, savor time with my little boy and hopefully check ten billion things off my list.

I'm a day late, but I had my 36 week visit today, and I'm just thankful for quick, uneventful appointments. Especially after reading everyone's encounters in the appointments thread!!! BP still under 120, no protein in urine, steady HR for babe, measuring 2 weeks behind but since I've been consistently that way she's not worried. Out the door 5 minutes after the doctor comes in. Feeling pretty blessed.

I'm thankful that I've managed to keep this baby in this long. I've had one miscarriage for sure, my doctor thinks I may have had a second but isn't sure. I have had a few scares with contractions that were bad enough to send me to L&D. I honestly didn't think I'd still be pregnant at this point. I'm at 38 weeks and 2 days now and I'm doing ok and he's doing very well.
With that being said, I'm thankful that I'm at the point where it would be safe to deliver and that he could be here any day now. I am really looking forward to having my son and not being pregnant.
Thankful that, despite living in a pretty much constant struggle to stay on top of our finances, something always seems to come up right when we need it. Just a couple days ago, husband and I were talking about how we're going to have to put off at least one or two of our big monthly bills while we wait for his bonus checks to start coming in (he's in sales, so the earnings can be very up and down) and then today, a settlement from a lawsuit that I was honestly not expecting anything from came in. It's not a ton of money, but it is enough to get us taken care of for the month, so we'll be on a much better track next month. Feeling so much relief from this!
