Re: Thankful Thursday

  • I am thankful... 

    That my kiddo takes medicine well. She likes to pretend to take Tylenol and we just started fluoride drops (we are on well water) and she begs for more after the one drop.

    That DH probably got that new job. He is going in to fill out paperwork and do  UA today and they were talking about when he could start. It isn't official yet but it is still exciting.

    That the new job means a retirement plan, better health benefits and most of all more family time. DH will no longer have to do the maintenance on his truck which will give us our weekends back!

  • I am thankful for...

    My family and DH. They are so awesome, they show me every day how much they love and care about me and how much they are gonna care about Isis!!  

    Benadryl. My dog has an ear infection and without Benadryl she wouldn't be sleeping and keeping me up all night.

    Another year of life! 

    Everyone who wished me a happy birthday! Last night after I laid down I kept feeling Isis move. It was like a thump...thump....thump.. Every two seconds. On my lower belly and it lasted for like 2 minutes. I'm pretty sure she had the hiccups and I take it as she was wishing me an early birthday. Gosh I can't wait for her to get here!! 

  • Wiggy - Yay for a new job! That is definitely something to be thankful for. :)

    Bridget - It's so cute when they get hiccups. I'm starting to get the weird rolling type movement and I can feel her feet pushing out when she stretches, it's really awesome to experience. :)

    Madeline - July 13th seems to be "the weekend" for baby showers. Didn't realize we were going along with a fad. ;)

    ...DH, because he has just been so sweet lately. :)

    ...My shower this weekend! I can't wait to see all my family and celebrate our LO. And of course see what all little miss got and start putting it away and finishing her nursery. :)

    ...Ice cream. I seriously crave it so much it's ridiculous. ;)

    ...along with weddings, wedding showers, and family reunions! Sending out invites 5 weeks in advance sounded like a perfect time frame for the shower, but apparently not! ;)

    We sent them 4 weeks in advance, and most of our guests can make it, but two of my cousins had vacations scheduled that weekend already. July I think is just a busy month in general.

    So sweet how you are always thankful for your husband :) 

    Also, I ate a small bowl of ice cream every night at the end of my pregnancy. I craved sweets bad!

  • I am thankful that I am starting to get a hold on SAH, even if it is just for the summer. I was getting really nervous that I wouldn't be able to handle it, but we've been doing some great things. Today, we went to a baby music class at the library and checked out some books. It made me feel a lot better...like I'm doing things to help her learn.

    Haha I know, Im such a sap. ;) I just feel like I fall more in love with him everyday. And this pregnancy has really brought us even closer. I'm so excited to see him with his daughter. I know he's going to be an amazing father. :)

    And we have a soft serve place by home that I go to about once a week, as I get the chocolate/vanilla swirl. It's so good! :)

  • Whippet - That sounds like fun! I'm a little nervous about being a SAHM also. I will be at home for the first few months, maybe longer if I decide not to come back after leave. I may be asking you for ideas on how to manage everything and keep LO entertained. ;)

    Honestly, I was really worried about my summer home with her. Last week was tough, but this week has gotten better. I bring her to the gym every day so she can play with other kids, and I can have "me" time. Then, she has a nap and I can shower and clean. Then we either play at home, or I have something planned for the afternoon before she has another nap. Before I know it, DH is home!

    Sounds like you've got a nice routine down. I'm sure it'll come naturally, so I'm trying not to worry too much, but at the same time I want her to get the most out of her childhood and that's a lot of pressure! Lol

    I am thankful for amazing management at BR. We had someone from corporate here today and I was supposed to work. But, it's a fair bit of lifting and time on my feet. When I called and explained why I wasn't coming in, they quickly assured me that my health and that of our baby were more important.

    I called again to have someone cover for me tomorrow. They are super excited for me and willing to do whatever in the next few weeks I need them to do. I am beyond grateful. 
    Congrats to my TTC buddy Madeline! Cheering for all the strong 3T ladies!

    I wish it came naturally, I know mine are young but I'm struggling with things to do with them. I feel like I'm failing.
