Thankful Thursday - 1/3

lovesclimbing · January 2019

I think we've missed this for a few weeks. What are you thankful for today?

I'm thankful to have such a supportive family and in-laws. We have gotten a lot done around the house lately and it is thanks in large part to my FIL. I'm thankful to have had a fairly easy pregnancy so far. I said it before in another thread but this board really puts me in perspective of all the symptoms I could be experiencing and haven't yet so even though I am pretty uncomfortable, I'm really grateful it's not any worse.

I'm thankful for my best friend who spent 6 hours on Saturday helping me make a functional space out of our home office, which had become our 'dumping ground/room of requirement' for storage and stuff we didn't know where to put.

Now I'm wondering if I can get her to come back and help my husband sort out the mess he made 'cleaning' the nursery closet - - she already offered but I don't know if he would say yes. To be fair he went through 5 old boxes, but it's only half of what was in the closet and now the floor is a total mess. This is the last indoor big cleaning project, since I have been working on decluttering our house since October. I am glad I started early.

I'm also thankful, like @mayoduck that all my pregnancy complaints are normal and that I don't have any complications, even if it is uncomfortable sometimes.

I'm very thankful for this group and my PAIF one. I don't know what I would have done without the Bump this past year. So much support and love...I some times feel like I talk to you all more than my friends lol

Also, very thankful for family that have been so helpful with baby items and also the lovely shower they threw us last weekend while in laws were in town.

I agree with you girls. Very thankful for a really easy pregnancy. It was a long road to even get pregnant, so feeling blessed for no complications.

I'm super thankful for our new nanny. Two days in, the girls adore her, and she cleans and does laundry, to boot!

I'm also thankful for the awesome cafe down the street that has the best bacon, spinach, and swiss quiche in the world. Maybe a stupid thing to be thankful for, but it saved me from some pretty serious nausea today!

I am thankful for my car because without it i would be screwed. I do a lot of driving in my day and week and i am so glad that it is in working order and working well at that! also thankful for my mom. she retired last year so she is readily available to watch DS, especially in times like this when he is on break and i have to work and ESPECIALLY for volunteering to watch the new LO for me after my maternity leave is over. Takes a huge load off me. Also thankful to have a relatively peaceful pregnancy even though if you ask my SO i am drama queen pregnancy of the world. *eye roll*

I’m thankful for brunch plans this weekend with my oldest friend and that DH is always super sweet about me making plans with friends!

navete · January 2019

Thankful for the holidays, as it’s a time when things slow down a bit and we refocus on family, friends and community...and thankful I survived 2 weeks with the in-laws! 🤪 They left a few hours ago and I am in full on decompression mode lol.

I can't even express how thankful I am to have such a supportive DH! When I read those blog posts in which moms complain that their husbands don't help around the house or taking care of the kids, I feel so-so lucky! He's not contributing 50%, he's doing even more! He lets me now sleep in in the morning and also wakes up with DS at night when he needs to go potty and is too stubborn to take the flashlight from next to his bed and go by himself. He does the cooking, the gardening and most of the time the laundry as well. He can totally care for DS alone when I go to conferences or business trips. Tonight he'll pick up DS from daycare and feed him and entertain him while I go to my fit4baby class. We don't have family or close friends nearby, but I never felt the need for more help after DS was born just because DH is so amazing.

I’m thankful for DH and DD. They have been so helpful when I haven’t been feeling well. DH has been picking up the slack with cleaning and even getting dinner together, he never cooks. DD is being so sweet too. She covers me in blankets and will grab me things when I’m too tired to get up. I can’t wait to see her interaction with DD2.

Lbloom · January 2019

Wow, what a wonderful uplifting thread today! I love all the posts so far!
AFM, I am thankful NICU life has been quiet for us the past 2 weeks. DS has just reached 5 lbs 1 oz this morning and is adjusted age of 33 weeks today! 1 more week before we get to try breastfeeding! He's been showing signs that he will be able to do it, so that is a relief for me.

dtspmama · January 2019

@Lbloom so glad things are going well and little man is growing so strong! Amazing!

maggiemadeit · January 2019

@Lbloom That’s so great! I hope that baby boy keeps growing strong and that breastfeeding will go smoothly!

JLaVO888 · January 2019

@Lbloom So glad to hear! Hope all continues to go well. Hang in there. I’m sure you’re exhausted.

meggyme · January 2019

@Lbloom I’m so glad your little boy is going well. I hope breastfeeding goes well.

navete · January 2019

@Lbloom Glad to hear you and baby boy are doing well! Wishing you the best of luck for breastfeeding next week ☺️

@Lbloom that’s wonderful!!!

AFM, I’m also thankful for MH again. We moved into our farmhouse a year ago, and it was nowhere near ready for twins. It’s also really dusty because of where we live. I’ve not been able to help as much as we’d plans because of all the complications I’ve had and he has worked so hard to get it all done, even using his holidays off to put down flooring, finish the tile in the bathroom, clean, whatever. He’s not been grouchy about it at all even though all the manual labor makes him tired and sore. At times I feel really guilty because he had kind of decided it was ok that we didn’t have kids after 4 years of trouble trying... and then bam, twins!! I couldn’t do this without him. The house is totally ready now and I feel so much more secure knowing it’s how we want it because after they come I’m sure none of these things would get done. I know not everyone has the same support, and I don’t mean to rub it in so I hope no one takes it that way. Just reflecting...
