What are you thankful for today!?

kjd291 · March 2017

For an outside baby.
For a husband who's really stepped up to take care of all of us as I recover from birth.
For a good transition so far for DD1!
For church family who have organized meal drop offs for dinner every other day this week!
For spring weather being just around the corner!

I'm thankful that I have one more week to go and then I'll finally meet my new baby!

Also, today is my last day at work and we just hired a girl who is soooo insanely
annoying. I won't have to deal with her for the next few weeks and I'm thrilled.

I am thankful for this thread! At 40w4d My focus has been staying positive (aka take a page out of your page @kjd291!!

) I'm comfortable and in no rush, just letting her choose her birthday but man I have started to have to stay off of almost every thread on Tb bc the complaining is distracting.

***NOTE*** absolutely not criticizing the complaining. I KNOW its valid for every mama and this is a safe place to do so. I'm in awe of what some have gone through during their pregnany/labor/delivery/recovery. I know me having ANY bit of a hard time focusing on the positive is my own problem lol.

Just looking forward to hearing some love and celebration from everyone!

@vino831 Ditto!!!

So thankful for our new addition and that for the most part she sleeps in her bassinet!
DS hasn't been insanely jealous and is adjusting pretty well for a 19 month old
DH is very helpful and I love seeing him with our daughter
Pregnancy insomnia is gone!

Thankful actually for the contractions I've been feeling on and off, reminding me that my body can do this labor!

And today specifically - thankful that I have a job where I can take maternity leave for 15 weeks. Today is my last day in the office until JULY! And more importantly, my last loooooong commute to the office for a while.

sunshine507 · March 2017

Thankful for our dishwasher & washing machine. I loaded them both up this morning, made tea, sat down, and realized how much more awesome it is that I can do that now (vs. when I was doing all the dishes by hand and driving to laundromat etc). Especially with the baby about to be here, hooray conveniences for sure.

vino831 · March 2017

@kjd291& Gators&BoSox awesome to hear positive transition for your older littles thus far! I can't wait to see DS with his little sister!!!

MrsBinPA · March 2017

I am thankful that I work with so many wonderful people. I have a work shower in an hour. I'm sure it will be lovely. Several people are here today who normally work at home on Thursdays just to celebrate baby. I hope I can keep my emotions in check!

OctoberLove13 · March 2017

So thankful that tomorrow is my last day at work! I'm so ready to be able to fully focus on just having this baby.

serenity13 · March 2017

I'm thankful that I had my best performance appraisal ever yesterday at work & that I have a really great boss. Thankful that I'll have a job to come back to after my leave where I know I'm appreciated. Also very thankful that my worst symptoms haven't been around the last few days & I haven't been in pain!

disneybaby84 · March 2017

Yesterday I had a FTM paranoid moment convinced I was doing everything wrong, convinced my boy was not gaining weight. Called the doctor's office begging for help. Had baby's 2 week appointment this morning, baby is healthy, weighed 8 lb. 12 oz last Friday, now weighs 9 lbs. 6 oz. Was 9 lbs. 1 oz at birth. Doctor said baby is healthy. Had his circumcision this morning. So happy he is healthy and I'm not a failure. Poor guy wants extra cuddles from his circumcision.

I've struggled to be positive the last few days, with some stuff happening at work, but this post is just what I needed to put things in perspective! I'm thankful for a dreamfully easy baby, even when he is giving us scares with his bilirubin...and a pediatrician who is on top of things, and keeping a close eye on his bilirubin without so much as suggesting formula, and is staying on top of things so if we do need to re-admit him to the hospital they will take him right back in OB instead of sending us to the nearest hospital that will take pediatric inpatient 2 hours away. And I'm thankful for a 2 year old that is adjusting sooooo well to a new member of the family, and has just been such a big helper!

mecoats · March 2017

I'm with @serenity13 - thankful for job stuff! I recently was promoted & got a raise (just in time for maternity leave!), and will have the job when I come back. In fact, my manager keeps saying, you're coming back right?! It's nice to be wanted/appreciated. Sometimes I have days where the job is not all it's cracked up to be, but hey....it's worth it to keep a roof over our heads

And while I'm thankful for said job, I'm ready for maternity leave to begin. T minus 2.5 working days (unless baby girl comes this weekend!)

Jilliants · March 2017

Thankful baby has held out for us to finish getting the stairs done in our home and for the to do list getting shorter and shorter everyday!

Also so thankful for knowing that I'm going to have an awesome teacher subbing for me while I'm out. She covered for me yesterday while I worked on the yearbook and when I came back today it was like I hadn't even been out!

Goodmorning12 · March 2017

I'm so thankful for my wonderful hubby & our precious little one. He being a great dad is

She's almost back to her birth weight at 5 days out. Such a relief.

Burrberrymum · March 2017

I'm thankful for all the family we have around us helping us get the new house ready before baby comes.

I'm really really thankful right now for a healthy inside baby. I need to just stay pregnant a little while longer but I'm just happy we've made it through most of the move without any baby/pregnancy related complications.

I'm thankful my SO is pushing me to rest today and taking care of a very headstrong little one that's been getting into everything out of boredom. I had a hard fall this morning right out my front step on the concrete so he's been great about me not doing a thing. It's just nice to have his support.

For my awesome husband who may not be the chocolates and flowers type of romantic guy, but shows it in the way he takes care of me. I've been having such a hard time sleeping lately and idly mentioned that I think maybe the light in the bedroom isn't helping with that - I work nights so sleep during the day and even with a sheet over the blinds, it's still a bit bright in our bedroom. Without a second thought, he grabbed another blanket and stapled it to the wall over the first blanket (yes, we are fancy, classy people!) Just little things like that that he does to try and make things easier for me! He's also been rocking out at work, which is a huge relief since he is in sales and I get anxious sometimes about how a single bad week for him can really throw off our finances, especially as we prepare to go into maternity leave for me which means a lessened paycheck.

I'm thankful for my sister - she sent me a card the other day out of nowhere that had some of those Jamberry nails things. I'm not someone who ever really does my nails but she wrote in this card how that was something that she really liked doing right before she had her kids, was having a mani/pedi. She's going through a rough time right now so the fact that she took the time to think of something like that for me when she has her own big issues right now really meant a lot.
