TGIF What are you grateful for this week?

fivetimesnoluck · July 2017

Share something(s) for which you're grateful! What's good in your world this week?!

sjb2215 · July 2017

This week I'm thankful for a job and profession that I'm really passionate about. And being able to work for a company who appreciates work/life balance (woohoo to Fridays off in the summer!) And I'm also thankful for my in-laws- DH is away at grad school class this week and both my BIL and MIL texted to check in on me during some severe storms

jakobaby · July 2017

Thankful for my dog who is nice company during the day (I WFH). He's currently laying in bed with me as I try to get this nausea to subside.
Thankful that DS has slept through the night all week this week.
Thankful DH went to bed early last night instead of pulling out his laptop. He's been working some really late nights lately, even after he comes home from the office. He needed the rest.

Thankful for air conditioning!

Thankful for DH who went out to get me ice cream late at night because I had to have it and we were out.

Mudge85 · July 2017

I'm grateful its a slow/quiet Friday in my office. I am doing baby registry research

I'm grateful for our community pool because I WILL BE THERE this weekend

I'm grateful my bosses aren't here cause my boobs have clearly grown since I wore this dress 2 wks ago and the buttons are leaving little holes in the middle causing exposure and I have to keep readjusting my dress...... oops.

fivetimesnoluck · July 2017

@sjb2215Yay for work/life balance! Our office has a summer Fridays schedule too. It's so nice to get a little free time during the week (ours are half days).

@jakobaby Dogs are the best. They usually know just what we need.

@schaze That's awesome that DH went on an ice cream run for you! What flavor?

For me, I am so grateful that I live on the coast. Being on the water is my happy place and we have plans to go out with some friends tomorrow morning on their boat.

Also super grateful for sister in law, who is one of my BFFs (she and I were close friends before she met my brother). She is taking the lead on planning a baby shower for me and I am getting excited to think about having all my girlfriends together to celebrate with me in a few months.

Lastly, it's minor, but I really do LOVE Spotify for listening to music at work.

clc515 · July 2017

Thankful for work from home days! I took 2 this week (first just cuz, today's cuz I have a dermatologist appt). My boss is awesome, so thankful for him too.

Also thankful my SIL offered to host my baby shower, which is SO FAR AWAY but since she's not local she wants to start thinking about it super early so we can visit possible locations when she visits in 2 weeks. So that'll be fun!

fivetimesnoluck · July 2017

@Mudge85 I would love to have a neighborhood pool! I am sure you will enjoy that the rest of the summer!

@clc515 Yay for awesome SILs! Hope you have fun scouting sites with her!

[Deleted User] · July 2017

@fivetimesnoluck chocolate peanut butter! The best, IMO.

I'm so jealous you live on the coast! We used to live in Seattle when I was a kid and I miss being able to go to the beach whenever we wanted. We have a lake about an hour away but it's not the same as the Sound.

@Mudge85 I wore a shirt last weekend that fit me a week prior, and holy boobs! I was adjusting it all day and when we got home I put that sucker away until after baby.

gusgus14 · July 2017

Today, I am very thankful that we have already managed to find a daycare that we really like and fits easily into our budget and that it sounds like we shouldn't have any problems getting a spot in March when we'll need it.

GraceUponGrace09 · July 2017

I'm thankful DH is home after being gone all week (he travels a lot for work). I don't single parent very well when I'm not feeling the best.
I'm thankful to have the news out about the pregnancy!

@schaze Where did you go to the beach/sound? We're a couple hours from Seattle and I don't really know good places.

bbeaman · July 2017

I am grateful DH has been putting up with my ups and downs this week. He has made me feel loved and special. I am also grateful for my sister and mom who have had the patience and listening skills of saints

libbberty · July 2017

I must be hormonal. I'm listening to the Zootopia theme song (by myself), tearing up, and I'm just grateful we're all "here", especially when I see some of your signatures with loss histories (and after getting all of that awesome STM advice yesterday). Definitely a pregnancy moment and maybe more an FFFC. hahaha.

Also thankful that my LO is probably going to meet all of his/her grandparents (and even hopefully one set of loving great grandparents), because I never got to meet mine. It's hard not living by my parents or DH's, but just the fact that everyone is excited and currently healthy is not something that I'm taking for granted.

@gusgus14 yay! That is HUGE!

[Deleted User] · July 2017

@GraceUponGrace09 the only one I remember the name of was Alki Point. There was another one that we went to more and had better seashell hunting, but all I remember about it was it was rocky and really close to train tracks. I was only 12 when we moved back to the Midwest so I didn't pay attention too much!

burnsmommy27 · July 2017

I'm so greatful to have a supportive husband. After DD we decided I can work part time if that's what I wanted. Now we are discussing what to do after this new baby. But he told me whatever will make me happy we can do. He is truly the best and I couldn't have picked a better life partner.

mauera07 · July 2017

I'm incredibly grateful for DH, my mom, and my sister. Both my mom and sister spent a week (individually) with me taking care of DS and me while I was too sick to function. And DH for being the best in every way recently. He has completely taken over nights with DS and pretty much has been waiting on me hand and foot. I'm very lucky.

Me too! This is my Friday exactly.

I'm also thankful for pay day! And that I'm allowed one caffeine drink a day, which I am about to deeply enjoy.

Edit to add: I'm SO thankful my new mattress is being delivered tomorrow! I can't believe I forgot to mention that! Here's to sleeping on a clean, supportive surface again!

vjraab · July 2017

So thankful for my dad! He's helped me get heavy furniture into my classroom. I couldn't have done t without his truck, trailer, strength, and helpful heart!

EmilyLove25 · July 2017

Y’all I read these and made myself go to the gym when I wasn’t feeling it because it was all so uplifting and inspiring. So I’m DEFINITELY thankful for our little Bump club!

I’m also thankful for my great boss. I’m getting upgraded to a new office next week, three times bigger than mine now, with a huge window/great view, and a tv!

Thankful to have my parents alive, healthy, and two doors down.
Thankful DH is back in town and put DD to bed so I could take my dog on a long walk last night.

Also thankful for no alarm tomorrow!

cyanope · July 2017

This is my new favorite thread, @fivetimesnoluck! Don't get me wrong, I love all of our snarky ones too, but this ones gives me all the warm feels!
This may sound SUPER cheesy, but I'm grateful for nature. I just spent four days in Yosemite, and I spent most of the time near tears seeing all of the beauty that it has to offer. Seriously. I go every year, and I'm still ALWAYS blown away by how gorgeous the Sierras (and especially Yosemite Valley) are.

CANTW82BMOM · July 2017

I'm grateful for Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. My best friend took it a year and a half ago and she just paid off her car yesterday. Now the only debt she has is a mortgage. I was so inspired that I took the class 6 months ago. My life has changed so much. I'm on my way to being debt free (minus a mortgage). Just paying off my grad school loans now. It just feels so good to have a plan and see that there's light at the end of the tunnel. #financialfreedom

ollydolly · July 2017

Couple days late:
- shout out to all the fresh berries
- gratitude to those who know how to use four-way-stops properly
- colleagues who flexible
- universal health care

Edited: because blah

supercoolstephy · July 2017

Y'all. I'm feeling super ungrateful this past week. I'm going to be better this week. I was crazy grouchy and hated all the people last week. Just wanted to be honest and keep myself accountable.

fivetimesnoluck · July 2017

@supercoolstephy Self-awareness is key.

Sometimes we are just not feeling it, and that's ok!
@ollydolly YES to the fresh berries! I have been eating strawberries like nobody's business. YUM!
@CANTW82BMOM How awesome! I have heard great things about his programs.Congratulations on your success so far!
@cyanope It's my favorite thread too.

I loved your pic from Yosemite - how amazingly beautiful! My scenery is not always so dramatic, but I really do stop and pinch myself pretty frequently - I am just in awe of the natural beauty on the coast.
@EmilyLove25 I am excited for you to be so close to your parents! Sounds like y'all have a close relationship, so I am sure they're thrilled too!
@vjraab Cheers to helpful dads! Hopefully you have a few more days before the school year kicks off!
@auntieraindrop How was your new mattress over the weekend? Did it live up to your expectations? DH and I bought a pricey mattress 18 months ago and it is soooo worth it.
@maueraa07 I am so glad you had help when you needed it. Are you feeling better now? Hope the worst of it has passed!
@burnsmommy27 I fee like I won the husband lottery sometimes. He is my perfect match. So happy for you to have flexibility and support in deciding how you want to move forward after this baby!
@libbberty Zootopia is such a great movie! We don't even have kids yet, but I have watched it numerous times. Such a great message.
@bbeaman Yay for supportive and patient friends/family! Sometimes we just need help managing all the feels!
@GraceUponGrace09 Awesome job doing the single parent thing while DH was away. I am sure you feel exhausted, but you rocked it! Glad he was home to help on the weekend and hopefully let you catch up on a little rest!
@gusgus14 Great news about the daycare decision being made! Such a relief to have that out of the way! I have toured two and am on both their waiting lists. I am grateful because we would be happy to get a spot at either. They're both affordable, convenient and come with great recommendations!
@schaze, we will have to agree to disagree on chocolate/peanut butter as the best flavor of ice cream.... but I am glad you got to indulge in what you wanted! That's what matters!

I had a nice weekend, but they are never long enough. I guess it's ok that the days are passing pretty quickly though, since we have an appointment to check in on the babe Wednesday. I had a mini breakdown on Friday night - emotions all over the place and some PGAL anxiety crept in, but DH (as usual) was kind and understanding and supportive. Like @burnsmommy27 and so many others have mentioned - DH is pretty awesome lately. So thankful for him.

Happy Monday?.....!

missblaze · July 2017

@schaze Chocolate peanut butter ice cream is my jam. But it has to actually be real peanut butter in chocolate ice cream (my favorite is Baskin Robbins and Breyers actually has a new one that is yum). I am not a huge fan of peanut butter cups in vanilla ice cream FALSELY labeled as chocolate peanut butter. Coffee ice cream is a close second.

[Deleted User] · July 2017

@missblaze YES. I usually just get the Kemp's stuff but DH accidentally got me peanut butter cup one time and it was very disappointing.

libbberty · July 2017

@schaze @missblaze I had Jeni's salted peanut butter with chocolate flecks this weekend. I'm normally a mint chip girl but multiple people in line with me exclaimed that this was the best ice cream of their entire life, so I tried it. Mmmmmm. So. Good.
