My mom and two aunts came over for lunch and it was so nice and relaxing...it's especially days like these that I am so thankful that I get to stay home and take care of LO </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203679 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 17:31:42 +0000 pastemoo 203679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO slept 3 hours straight last night--and then another 3 after that! I feel so rested compared to before.<br /> AND I did SO much today. The house *looks* like a mess because--you know--sometimes you have to take things apart to put them back together. Everything is more organized now. LO cooperated with my busy day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203662 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 17:22:29 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 203662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am thankful that my job showed appreciation for me today.

I'm also thankful for the pizza I got for lunch and scarfed down like it was my job. And, that M's belly button cord is aaalllllmost off. It's so gross right now, holding on by one little string!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203588 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:24:47 +0000 PrincessBaby 203588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: Congratulations on the milestone!!! I know you feel better!</p> <p>I am grateful every second for Harper, and also for her Daddy:) Just over the moon every time I think about the fact that I have this sweet little life growing inside me, and the person I love more than anyone in the world put her there... It overwhelms me with emotion and gratitude often.</p> <p>And I'm especially grateful that her Triple Screen bloodwork just came back awesome, and she's one very healthy little pink monkey:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203568 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 16:06:34 +0000 MrsCastro 203568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i am thankful today for life...in the heat and rush of things i guess i always forget to just live, learn and accept. though accepting is one of the hardest i just have to learn how to do it and live with it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203475 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:51:33 +0000 Crisark 203475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Thanks. I've been a bit of a mess about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203454 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:42:31 +0000 Smurfette 203454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crisark: It sounds like you did need a vent! Hope that it is all gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203446 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:39:07 +0000 chopsuey 203446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything! My DH, Lo, baby in womb, our families, being able to stay home, health, financial stability..<br /> I'm so blessed and thankful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203432 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:31:32 +0000 heffalump 203432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rachel: It's exactly what it sounds like, stimulates the nerves! It's on my occipital nerve in my neck and they implanted a battery for it in my lower back. The surgery was painful, but as long as I don't turn it up too high it doesn't hurt at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203423 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:26:19 +0000 chrispygal 203423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: That is just beautiful to read and I am so happy for you and DH!</p> <p>Today, I am very thankful for my co-workers who just pulled together a shower in a matter of days after it was announced on Monday morning that I was being put on bed rest. Not only were they super generous, but they are such a caring and wonderful group of people who are pushing me out the door and telling me not to worry about work while I'm gone. That is just priceless to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203404 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:14:48 +0000 Crisark 203404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is a little more 'in depth' I guess....<br /> My oldest got head lice....I found it a week ago today by a hair that had fallen out of her head and landed on our sink and there was one on there...I didn't freak out at first.<br /> I ran a comb through her hair and sure enough they were there. I didn't see anything on my youngest or husband. Their step mom came right over and did the treatment on me, my youngest and my oldest and I did one on her.<br /> She didn't find anything on me or my youngest either. I was doing really well thinking it wasn't that big of a deal and we'd get it. But, then I had one fall on my shoulder and I didn't know if it came from me or the towel I had taken off my head so my anxiety started.<br /> I've mentally been a mess since then. So bad I haven't been able to eat, I've lost 5lbs in 6 days....I've been totally consumed by it.<br /> I'm not sure why it's affected me so bad. We went through this last year and it was way worse and I handled it fine.<br /> We've retreated my oldest twice and taken hours upon hours of sifting through to get everything. My mom is coming tonight to do the 1 week follow up treatment on me and my youngest like they say too. I'm hopeful I'm still clean and we managed to dodge a full infestation. I'm still scared though.<br /> So, I'm thankful that today I've managed to eat breakfast and Lunch and didn't need to go back on the anxiety meds like my dr thought I should.<br /> I am confident I can get through this.<br /> (sorry for the gross topic and for my causing most of you to now scratch your heads lol)</p> <p>holy long...I apologize....I apparently needed to vent </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203401 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:13:10 +0000 oliviaoblivia 203401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today I'm thankful for my awesome DH, I spend the day looking forward to seeing him.<br /> And also for my parents, who just booked tickets to come visit.<br /> And that I'm one day closer to finally getting an ultrasound and seeing the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203390 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:07:17 +0000 LuLu Mom 203390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thankful for AC! Holy cow it is hot outside!! And my momma being close enough to have an occasional lunch date like we did today :) I love being able to meet her and catch up when I need some momma time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203382 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:02:33 +0000 MrsBrewer 203382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am thankful that Dh and I have stable jobs, an awesome house, and each other :-) .....and our kitties :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203380 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:02:29 +0000 Shutterbug 203380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today I'm thankful that AF hasn't shown up yet! My temps are down, so I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant, but just making it through 10dpo without AF or spotting is something for me to be thankful for - my last two LPs have been 9 days, with spotting starting a couple days before.</p> <p>@artbee: what's a nerve stimulator? Sounds painful, but if it helps with the migraines then hooray!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203377 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:00:52 +0000 cyneswith 203377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My beautiful, warm husband, and that we now live close enough to his work that he can come home for lunch. That my pregnant tummy now looks pregnant. My lovely house and yard.</p> <p>ETA: And brownies. Not glad I want brownies. But glad I had them on hand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203372 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:54:18 +0000 heffalump 203372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nerve stimulator. We've been having a tropical storm and normally with crap weather like this my migraines go crazy. It did hurt for one night... but nothing too terrible. It's amazing for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203345 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:39:32 +0000 edelweiss 203345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>today i'm thankful that my husband and i work in offices close enough together that we can meet for lunch sometimes, and commute on the metro together almost every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203315 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:17:51 +0000 MsLipGloss 203315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After last night, my G-A-S factor for work stress has bottomed out. I can't function like that, and I certainly don't want butterbean to feel the effects of my stress and anxiety. So, while today is just as hectic and ridiculous as yesterday, I am trying to deflect the stress and *just keep swimming* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203306 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:15:08 +0000 Alivoo01 203306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Woohoo!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203302 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 13:13:02 +0000 Smurfette 203302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That it is Wednesday so one day closer to Thurs when my hubby gets home. I miss him! And one day closer to him being done with school. On the countdown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203219 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 12:18:25 +0000 mrs. wagon 203219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: That's beautiful!!</p> <p>Today is not a great day but I'm thankful for two things:<br /> 1) Wagon Jr. has been taking his amoxicillin with very little complaint... he actually sucks it down straight from the oral syringe now, and he's so proud of himself afterwards because we cheer for him for being a "big boy"!<br /> 2) At my last pedicure (on a date day together!) Wagon Sr. chose a bright magenta pink for my toe color. Today I looked down at my feet (which I've been using l'occitaine foot cream on, a nice indulgence) and even though they're puffy and swollen and housed in not-so-work-appropriate Birkenstock Gizehs, the bright cheery pink made me really happy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203157 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 11:25:33 +0000 Mrs. Bee 203157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That Olive has been napping so well! </p> <p>She didn't go down for her first nap of the day because she had pooped while rolling around in her crib. Our nanny changed her and put her back in and she still went to sleep. </p> <p>This really changes my life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203155 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 11:24:50 +0000 Running Elley 203155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: I can't wait to see the pictures of your nursery!!<br /> @sloaneandpuffy: Aw :)<br /> @lilteacherbee: That will be perfect timing! One of my best friends was pregnant last summer and went back to work right at 13 weeks as well and it worked out perfectly for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203153 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 11:21:42 +0000 lilteacherbee 203153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5 weeks today and just thankful that I'm pregnant :)</p> <p>I'm also thankful that I'm only working part-time during the summer (aka first trimester for me). When school starts and I go back to work full-time, I'll be 13 weeks, so pretty nice timing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203151 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 11:19:47 +0000 mamimami 203151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OK, I'll bite :) We don't usually cosleep but my babe woke up at 3 a.m. and I brought him to bed. I am thankful that he went right to sleep and it was wonderful to wake up to his little face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203114 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 10:57:53 +0000 mrskc 203114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: Yay for 24 weeks! Congrats! I have one week and one day until 24 weeks. I'm so looking forward to that milestone. </p> <p>I'm thankful for my little guy everyday! But today, I'm also thankful for my awesome husband. He's off on summer break and working hard around the house to prepare for our little mans arrival. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-thankful-for-today#post-203102 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 10:50:01 +0000 Running Elley 203102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today I hit the 24 weeks/viability milestone and I am SO thankful. I really didn't think that we'd make it to this point yet here it is and our little guy is still happily kicking away.</p> <p>What are you thankful for today?? </p>
