Ten Things Tuesday 7/23

offtoneverland · July 2018

Even though it's not Tuesday yet, can I start this early? I've forgotten the past couple weeks in a row and I love this thread, so I don't want to forget tomorrow. What ten things are you thankful for today?

How Tuesday feels:

My husband, my family, my son flopping around in my tummy, our home, our pets, our jobs providing us the ability to live how we do, my health and the health of those close to me, living in the us - the brave men, women, and families who sacrifice so we can have our freedoms, my parents for raising me the way they did, and lastly my snoogle.

1. My son and his health. My mfm reminded me yesterday how lucky we were for that since ds was born so early.

2. My husband and my dad, they help me out whenever they can and they are great fathers.
3. My job, though it can definitely be love/hate, I'm excited to set up my room for a new year (my husband and wallet hate it though!)
4. This little one demonstrating her personality already!
5. My kitty cats. They are so loving and funny.
6. My coworkers who have checked on me and baby girl throughout the summer.
7. That we have been able to provide for our son and he hasnt had to go without the important things. He is growing up much differently than I did, and I'm very thankful for that.
8. Food network, HGTV, tlc, and discovery.
9. My mom coming to spend time with DS before she comes to stay when baby is born.
10. It's supposed to be under 100 degrees for the next 2-3 days!!

1. DH. Seriously so thankful for him each and every day. This whole pregnancy has brought out a different side of him that I love.
2. The pup
3. The health of my family, friends, and me.
4. My heating pad. My back was killing when I got home last night and the heating pad was a lifesafer!
5. My pregnancy pillow that helps me sleep every night, even if it's not all night.
6. Summer hours at my job that allow me to leave at 3 Monday-Thursday and noon on Fridays.
7. My OBs office. I really lucked out with the place I choose and I am so happy I found them

1. My husband. He is going to be the cutest dad around.
2. This healthy, active, crazy baby that finally let me get some sleep last night.
3. Air conditioning and the fact that it’s finally no longer 100 degrees every day.
4. Pizza and ice cream and peanut butter toast which have made all bad days during this pregnancy better.
5. Good books that I can read while sitting my butt in the lake and relaxing.
6. My health - while I do complain about certain aspects of this pregnancy, I try to remind myself of complications others have gone through and how grateful I am to have had minor issues so far.
7. My parents who are so excited for their first grandchild it’s adorable. They’ve been so helpful.
8. The support of the moms on this board.
9. Netflix.
10. The seamstress who was able to work magic on my bridesmaid dress for the wedding I’m in this weekend.

1. DH. He's awesome. Does all the extra work around the house, never complains, and constantly checks on me to make sure I'm good. He's going to be a great Daddy!
2. The health of these two babies. This past weekend I've had so many reminders of how blessed we are and I'm trying not to let it get lost on me.
3. Having an amazing team caring for me during this pregnancy. I feel so supported and cared for...any issues are found, addressed, and monitored and I know we have an amazing NICU - if the babes should need it.
4. Our two crazy pups who make me smile every day (even on the days when they're being brats).
5. Great friends!
6. My birthday! I turned 35 on Sunday and I'm grateful for every single one of those years...and I can't wait to see what the next 35 bring

7. My dad and step-mom who are always willing to come help us with things around the house - especially when it comes to preparing for the twins.
8. A job that I love (although it sometimes drives me crazy) and a boss that is understanding and doesn't even blink when I ask to leave early or come in late to attend doctor appointments.
9. The Starbucks app. Place my order right before I leave the house, stop in and grab my drink, and get back in the road.
10.The wonderful, supportive group of women on these boards.

1. We get to go to Florida next week! (For midwesterners, this is about as good as life gets.)
2. Baby is healthy and wiggling away.
3. Hand-me-downs and cheap maternity clothes.
4. Breakfast food.
5. Free food.
6. Pizza (basically a food group to itself).
7. Jobs for DH and myself.
8. The amusement I get from putting on an old tank top and seeing my belly poke out the bottom.
9. The Internet to entertain me during boring days at work.
10. Family that lives close (but not too close).

1) H for making lunch for DSD & I in the mornings lately

2) My co-worker who not only gave me a big bag of embroidery floss AND a t-shirt for DSD that her own daughter refuses to wear, but brought in a big bag of fresh green beans that she's sick of dealing with from her garden this morning.
3) Fellow gardeners at our community garden imparting their knowledge and sharing their bounty of beets after hearing that the bunnies got to ours.
4) DSD who has been an absolute champ this week!
5)Netflix & Amazon Prime
6) The butt warmer in my car, it's the middle of the summer but I turn it on because it hits my lower back perfectly while I'm driving to & from work.
7) My dumb dumb kitties, they always bring a smile to my face
8) Feeling LO kick & squirm
9) The filtered water cooler at work! (The tap in well water and has some ghastly smells).
10) Hopefully getting to see my momma this week along with my new nephew.

1. My pregnancy pillow. I'm sleeping so much better since I stole it back from DD.
2. All of you. You all made me feel so much better on that awful day I was having a couple of weeks ago and I keep seeing it anytime any one of us is in need of some kind words.
3. Coffee. I've loosened up and allowed myself one iced coffee a day; it has made all the difference in my moods and productivity.
4. My little girl. Parenting her has not been easy at all lately but she has helped me learn to let go of a lot of little things that don't matter; I'm thankful I wont have to relearn these things when LO gets here.
5. The NYX Microbrow pencil

6. Beef ramen soup w/ sriracha added
7. The ability to drive and help my family members when they need a hand. My mom and my aunt have had some health issues crop up recently and I'm glad to be able to take some things off of their plates.
8. My gross flakey chin not being so gross and flakey lately!!
9. DH and his job allowing me to stay home. I remember how tough working full time while pregnant was. I don't know how in the world I would be coping with this pregnancy that's been so much harder on my body + a toddler at home + life if I had to keep up my performance at a job I ultimately didn't want to be at.
10. A/C!! Last year during Hurricane Irma we lost power for a week in 100+ degree weather. It was so brutal. The closer we get to hurricane season the more my anxiety ratchets up and the more thankful I am for this miracle machine.

wildrainbow · July 2018

1. Ds' nap time! I meed that quiet moment to myself.
2. My Kindle.
3. That I'm a mom to a miracle rainbow and another on the way. It's a long way from not conceiving ever.
4. My DH. He's an amazing dad and I love watching him and ds bond. I can't wait to see him bond with this babe too.
5. DS. I love watching come into his own. His personality is blossoming and it's amazing watching his mind work.
6. You ladies. I may not put my every feat out there, but y'all do a lot to keep me grounded.
7. Rainy afternoons.
8. My family. Even tho we are spread out, we always find time to talk or text or whatever and it does a lot to soothe my soul.
9. My friends who are already planning out their lives around this new babe to be available if we need them for ds.
10. Chick-FIL-A. They are the only place ds will eat meat from and their lemonade makes baby happy!

middleschoolmommy · July 2018

offtoneverland · July 2018

1. Funny gifs that had MH and I cracking up together tonight.
2. DD's new kitty stuffed animal that she loves so much.
3. Queer Eye on Netflix.
4. Leftover meatloaf and mashed potatoes for lunch today.
5. Grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner tonight--the best meal for a rainy day!
6. Tums for all the heartburn.

7. Amazing friends on the Bump who make my day happier.
8. Feeling baby's legs (I'm pretty sure). I can't stop poking her because I'm so excited to finally feel her so distinctly from the outside!
9. My kindle so I can read in bed.
10. Prenatal workout videos on YouTube.

@wildrainbow chick-fil-a lemonade is everything to me. I don't even want to know how much of it I've had this summer.

wildrainbow · July 2018

@wannaflickone Me either. I get it at least once a week.

highsteaks · July 2018

@wannaflickone @wildrainbow did your chickfila’s start upcharging for the lemonade? i just noticed the other day that it’s an extra 70 cents!

pelorunningmama · July 2018
