Thankful Thursday :)

[Deleted]

Good morning ladies!

What are you all thankful for today?

[Deleted]

I'm always thankful for my sweet husband who puts up with my 50 shades of crazy. I am so thankful for our ninja baby who spends all day/night kicking the crap out of me. I love knowing that she is healthy and active and that all is good in my uterus!

I'm especially thankful for my awesome mom who is also my best friend. She is the most wonderful mom and I know she is going to be the best grandma to my baby girl! One of the reasons I am so happy to be having a girl is that I always wanted to have the same relationship with my daughter that I have with my mom.

This week I'll be thankful for my closest group of girlfriends! A couple of them have been planning a surprise 30th for another in April, and I've been helping them. I suggested a mani/pedi afternoon before the events and now 6 of us are going and I am so happy! I found a place with a room that will be mostly private to us, serve treats and beverages, and do something nice for the one with the birthday.It's just been something we've for whatever reason never organized together and I'm looking forward to that hour of relaxation (although slightly paranoid because it's around the same point in my pregnancy I delivered DS, but, positive thoughts for full term lol!) and then night out with everyone.
Three of them are my high school BFFs, and 2 since the year right after grad. (One has actually been dating H's best friend since we introduced each other's groups of friends around 6 years ago). We've been friends for a long time

I'm enjoying my first cup of coffee since October!!!!!!!!!! Coffee, coffee, coffee!!!!!!! I guess the aversion is gone now. Although I did cover most of the flavor with sugar but still, COFFEE!

I'm so thankful that DD slept through the night last night. I was in the edge and needed sleep desperately. She's also in a better mood this morning too, which is helpful.

tiffbot that sounds so nice! I would just be weary of having them massage your feet. I read somewhere here about foot massages inducing labor and I get slightly paranoid every time I get a pedicure lol

jessila I stopped drinking coffee at the beginning of my pregnancy and was finally able to start again like 2 months ago. It's so heavenly and (sorry if TMI) I'm never constipated or cranky anymore!

I am extremely thankful for my SO who is so very good to me and his family here with us. They are a blessing to this little baby and I cannot express that enough.

I am thankful for this day off, which I need.

Thankful for you ladies, who I can relate to and get good advice.

Oh, I went with the manicure! I never get my nails done so I'm going to do that so maybe my hands will actually look nice in pictures of holding a newborn haha!! (Just joking, but I am looking forward to making them pretty for awhile)

I am thankful for the foot of snow on the ground contrasted with the bright blue sky. So beautiful! So long as I don't have to go out into it, of course.


Also grateful that as soon as our ceiling started to leak in the nursery last night a new case fell into my lap this morning, meaning we have the extra money to pay for it now!

I'm thankful today for my in-laws, for watching DS at few times a week. I don't really love him being there for various reasons, but I have to remind myself over and over how grateful I should be that they are willing to help out. So therefore, I am thankful.

I am thankful to have good friends to do fun things with. This weekend we are headed down to Oregon with a group of friends to hang out with some friends that live down there. And it doesn't hurt that I get to have my FAVORITE pizza while I am there!

I'm thankful to have a best friend who makes crazy, impulsive life choices. She and her hubby have been working as house parents to at-risk youth for a while now. They were in Idaho in 2014 and took a job in NYC with a different organization in January. We were SO excited that after spending a year across the country from each other, she'd be less than 2 hrs away. Well they got to NY and quickly realized that the new organization accepts kids who are violent, not just emotionally disturbed or who have substance abuse problems. They have 2 little girls (20 months and 3 yr old) so they obviously couldn't stay in a house with kids who put 2 staff members in the hospital their first week there. The organization told them that all they could do was transfer them to another location....Omaha, Nebraska. We were all so bummed! They were supposed to move this past weekend and on Saturday she called me and was like, "Well we moved....we moved to my parents house in NJ! We both quit our jobs and moved in with my parents! We have no life plan and no income. This is crazy but I couldn't leave!" Luckily her husband is the most laid back wonderful guy ever cuz she's insane! But I'm SO glad she'll be here for all the baby stuff!

I am thankful for the mommy friend from church who thought of us when she wanted to part with her jumperoo, swing, baby bath, and several other items in practically new condition, all for the unbeatable price of me just picking them up from her house! So much less for me to stress about!

I am also thankful that our landlord finally had gates installed on our driveway, and they look really nice.

And can't forget my bible study ladies who remembered that tomorrow is my 30th, and had a little party for me yesterday morning. Feeling loved

I want to add that I'm thankful that my MIL has finally started being nice to me. After nearly 10 years of butting heads with her, her entire attitude towards me has changed. She is suddenly concerned about me and the baby all the time. She always asks my DH about me, how I'm feeling, and if she can make any special meals for me. I know it's mostly because I'm carrying the granddaughter she always wanted but I also think she finally realized that I'm not trying to ruin her son's life by marrying him and having his baby.

I am thankful for my husband, who traded cars with me today and got my oil changed. I also just had my snoogle delivered, which is about the most exciting thing ever. I might sleep tonight! Woooo!

[tiffbot]

I have a new one, I'm just thankful for all the little things with DS. This morning he was walking towards his football waving and said "Hi ball!"

His vocabulary isn't very big yet, and that was the first time I've ever heard him put two words together! I had to stop for a second and felt a little lump in my throat, it's something so small yet so huge to me!
