thankful Thursday

[lotsofdotts]

I took today off as a mental health day and to help my parents. My dad has had lots of medical issues and surgeries since August. My mom really needs to work today, so I'm taking my dad to pre-op appointments. I was able to sleep in which was super nice.

Because I took off today, I don't have to go to the open house tonight at my school. Yay!

Our new crib arrives today! We can finally finish the nursery!

Lastly, it is pay day!!!! Woop woop! Our school system pays us the week before Christmas, so we have to wait over 6 weeks until we are paid again. Tonight is our direct deposit time, so DH and I are super excited since we are both teachers!

Happy Thursday, ladies!

I'm thankful for my one work from home day a week. I think it's one of the few things keeping me sane as we get closer to the end of pregnancy. I am loving only having to work in the hospital three days a week!

1. I have a job that when I felt like crap yesterday no one batted and eye that I didn't come in, and are just super happy I'm still trying (4 days before d.d)
2. DH texted in the middle of the day to check in on me, which is unusual for him. He is not a worrier.
3. Good friends had their baby yesterday and all is good! They were due in a few weeks.
4. I only got up once last night to pee and wasn't kept awake by cramps/contractions for half the night!

lotsofdotts, sounds like today is going to be a good day! YAY for the crib!

Also, and I just thought of this... DH wanted a bottle of wine last night so he bought some Chianti while we were at the grocery... When he pulled my favorite glass out of the cabinet he looked at me and said, "yep! that's about 9 months worth of dust right there!"... damn it has been awhile! The wine was delicious, however and I can't wait until I can drink a whole glass by myself again

I am thankful for my awesome chiropractor, who so nicely popped a bunch of my ribs back into their correct position yesterday. She's 'da bomb.

It hurt at the time, but afterwards was pure relief. First time in 2 weeks I was able to stand up straight!

I am overwhelmed by the man I married. To see him now in the role of dad reaffirms why I married him. He loves this little being so much and is so in love with her.

This just made me tear up! I remember falling madly in love with DH all over again after DS was born and I can't wait to see him with this LO.

We're down to one car right now thanks to my accident Tuesday and I'm super thankful for:
1.) My sister and brother-in-law stepping in to help get me home from work.
2.) My husbandman's command for working with us so he can drive me in.
3.) My office for being understanding.
4.) That we made it out of the accident with minor (compared to what it could have been) damage to the car and no injuries to me and Little Man.
That being said, I can't wait to have my car back!

[kerrigrooves]

Im thankful that my mom is here for 6 weeks to help out with our growing family

[Irishcurls]

Ughhh I'm also feeling negative today!

I'm thankful to have made it in to work safely--two days post-blizzard and it's still not great driving! And all the crazies are out!

I'm thankful for waking up this morning in General.

[sccurrier]

I'm so thankful the four year olds entertained themselves quietly this morning and let me sleep in, I really needed it.

I'm thankful for having an "uneventful" pregnancy, and for the ability to have this extra time off work before baby comes. I've been able to really connect with my son and talk about the upcoming changes our family will experience, and I think (hope!) it is making the adjustment a positive one. We've been able to have special dates and one on one time and for that I am so grateful. He has been my only baby for almost 7 years (cue tears). I am also thankful for my husband. It's hard to describe, but he really just "gets" me.

[kcrosem]

Needing to be more positive. I am thankful I have one more day in the office!

[cginge]

Definitely thankful for getting a good night of sleep last night (for the first time in a while)! I feel so much better today than I have recently.

I'm thankful for this LO.
I truly hate being pregnant and have been quite negative lately because of it which has caused me to lose sight of the fact that she's a true miracle.

I think I've shared before in the beginning but, my older two are teens (moved in with their dad last summer) and have been awful to my husband and I the past few years. I'd had my tubes tied 10 years ago and did not want more children (the messy breakup with my ex and the resulting behaviour of my sons had solidified this) but my new husband wanted children badly.

I had a reversal which wasn't successful and we were at a loss as to wether or not we should spend $17k on IVF when we were offered to participate in a study for an experimental IVF drug free of cost. I was scared but agreed. Out of 11 eggs that were retrieved only 6 formed embryos and only one survived (this baby). I was convinced for months that she wouldn't make it either yet here I am 37 weeks and 4 days pregnant with my first little girl.

I'm VERY thankful.

I'm thankful my parents got approved for a mortgage in a year!!! They were screwed over by a bank and ended up losing their house (in 2013) because they couldn't afford a 12% interest rate. Now after 20 years they can build their dream home! And just in time for their grandson to start walking

[gator26]

LO wasn't moving all last night, so I spent the morning at the doctor's office having an NST. I'm thankful that LO kicked things into gear as soon as we got on the monitor, even though he made me look like a paranoid FTM.

And thankful for a boss and co-workers that were anxiously awaiting an update on LO, and not at all bothered by the half day of work I missed.

[cougarette]

I'm also thankful for the easy pregnancy I've had. While it's hard to be thankful with all these 3rd tri aches and pains, I know it'll be worth it when he's here in a few weeks.

[allonsy221b]

I too have been in a funk lately and I just can't shake it.

I am thankful for:
1. My DH for picking up my slack at home and being awesome with DD
2. That this pregnancy has been so much better than my last.
3. Finally being able to take some me time and got my hair done Tuesday and my eyebrows today, hoping for a pedi soon.

[mom2xover2002]

Thankful for my DH today for being around tonight. Between miss fussy & the teens I might have ended up in tears if he had to go on a turn around tonight.

[abb1701]

I'm thankful that tomorrow us my last day of work.

Oh and I'm thankful my DH surprised me with phish food my favorite ice cream!

[wimcgrath]

This thread is a great idea!

I'm thankful for for a super understanding and paranoid (in a good way) hubby. He's taken such good care of me, and I know he'll make an excellent dad- I can't wait to see him with our daughter.

I was completely overwhelmed and shocked yesterday by a surprise baby shower after all of the students left. I truly had no idea, and the entire staff was in attendance- my heart is so full.
