As I lay in bed next to my two babies this morning I realize how thankful for them & my husband I really am. They are my world and my everything. Being a mom and a wife are the best things I’ve done with my life and I can’t imagine living any other way 💗 #gratitude

Becoming a mom was the best thing I’ve ever done. My body was made for this. My son is my whole world, and he honestly makes it a brighter place for me. Seeing his smiling face makes all the tough times and sleepless nights so so worth every second ❤️ #gratitude

I’m thankful for so much in life, things that have saved me from dark times. My mom is number one – she helped me through times of depression and suicide, she is why I’m still here today. Another is my daughter, after I miscarried, yeah it wasn’t planned but right now I have been blessed with a beautiful girl that is helping me fight everyday to get through all obstacles in my path, and every day closer to meeting her, she is saving my life. I’m thankful for the little family I have around, and I direct that towards my grandma because right now she is not doing so well…  And I hope that she is here to see my daughter when she is born. I’m thankful to just be here still enjoying life, and still healthy to watch my daughter grow up and I can teach her to be the best she can be. I’m thankful for every bad choice or hurt I’ve had because it’s made me stronger. Whether I see it yet or not. I know it has or I still wouldn’t be fighting too this day. #gratitude

Of course I am grateful for my wonderful husband. He works so hard to provide a nice life for us.  I am lucky to have him in my life.  #gratitude

 

IMG_1747

I am extremely grateful for my daughter, Aria. I am 37 years old and never thought I would have a child. She has truly been a blessing and changed our lives. #gratitude

 

IMG_1748

I am so thankful that I am able to have a sweet baby boy. IDC that I’m young and I didn’t get to finish highschool(yet) I just can’t wait for him to get here so he can now how loved he is
#gratitude

I am so thankful for everything in my life right now. I might have a lot of problems with my baby’s father, but i do have a love with him that i’ve never experienced before. I am thankful for my family and all they do to make this first pregnancy easier on me, and most of all i am so thankful for the life growing inside of me. Hearing the heartbeat and feeling little movements wow me every time, because i was thoroughly convinced i would never be able to get pregnant, and every appointment and ultrasound is a miracle to me to see that this little human is actually in there, not made up, moving around and kicking away. I honestly never thought i would be lucky enough to carry my own child, and despite everything bad that pregnancy comes with, i wouldn’t change it for the world. I love this baby more than anything already and i can’t wait to meet him or her in May. I want to enjoy this first pregnancy as much as i can, but i have to admit I’m already impatient to meet the little baby thats been growing in my stomach! But keep growing baby, grow big and strong mommy can wait 😘 #Gratitude

 

IMG_1749

I am grateful for my three beautiful children. They have contributed to making my life so happy. They put a smile on my face and they fill my heart with joy. #Gratitude

I am thankful for myself and my baby to have been blessed to have made it through the difficult times throughout my pregnancy and thankful that my husband was there. thankful that my husband and i had the strength to ignore the negative comments about what the outcome of my daughter could have been. I am thankful that my beautiful miracle baby is almost 10 months of age. #gratitude #blessings #strength

 

IMG_1750

The thing I’m most thankful for is My Beautiful daughter, Gracie. She is my everything. She has changed my life in SO many ways. She has made me such a better person and I have developed a love I never knew existed. I have changed my views on so many things and being a mom is just the best thing I could ask for. Her cuddles are the bes thing in the world and I would SO much rather be at home with my baby then out partying even if I did just turn 18.
#gratitude

I have #gratitude for the gift of becoming a mom and feeling her kicks getting stronger everyday. The creation of life is an amazing thing to experience.

 

IMG_1751

More than likely this will be my last pregnancy, because my husband and I have always said 2 is it, especially now that we will have both a boy and girl. & it’s so bitter sweet to me. These two pregnancies have been the most wonderful experiences of my life. I love being pregnant, yeah I may complain a little, but when you experience the things a woman does while pregnant, you can.. I am so very lucky to have been as fortunate as I am to conceive and carry both of my beautiful babies. That’s something that some women take for granted. Being a mother, is such a blessing in itself. ❣#Gratitude #ThankfulForMyChildren

 

IMG_1752

I’m so thankful for my boyfriend! He puts up with so much shit and sass from me.. Sometimes Idk how he does it. He always loves me no matter what. He helps me be a better person, and cheers me on 😘😘😘  I wouldn’t want to be going through this journey of having a baby and our life’s changing with anyone else but him. #gratitude

 

IMG_1753

I only one word to say to express how I feel and that’s tremendous #gratitude Thanks soooo much ladies!!!

 

IMG_1754

I can’t even explain how thankful I am for this guy right here. Even though he may be just a boy, he is the biggest man I have ever met. He’s stuck by side from the moment I found out I was pregnant and is taking on a child that may not even be his. 💕 #gratitude

1:50 am and I’m wide awake and so is babygirl! she just kicking and punching away! it’s like she knows her daddy will be home in 4hrs after being away for almost a month! I can’t wait!! I’m so blessed to have both of them! #gratitude

 

IMG_1755

I’m also extremely thankful for my fiancé. He came into my son’s life at 3 months old. He drove into fatherhood with no issues and no regrets. It came so natural to him. He has been the best father he could possibly to my first son, and even though he’s really nervous holding our little one, he is an amazing father to both boys. I don’t know what I would have done without him.
&& shhhhhh no one on Facebook knows yet, but he and I are hoping to have a quick marriage ceremony at the courthouse sometime this week. 😍
#gratitude #thankful #blessed

👶🏼💙I am thankful for my first born Aarem Layne. He taught me patience & helped me realize I was meant to be a mother.  He is an extremely smart 4 year old. He has a speech delay which people often mistake for some sort of sign that he’s not smart, but he is quite intelligent, and he has an awesome sense of humor! He’s into music, super heroes & trucks and it’s so much fun learning about boy stuff that I wouldn’t know anything about without having him.
👶🏻💜I’m lucky and blessed to have my itty bitty Oliver Anthony. I didn’t expect to give birth to him 11 weeks early, but he has been doing so well! Other than the fact that he’s tiny, I don’t think anyone could tell he was born at 29 weeks. In his sort 9 weeks of life he has taught me all about strength and courage. Bringing him into the world early has been a challenge but I feel like such a stronger person, mom, fiancé and even friend now.
I am truly blessed to have two amazing son’s who I love with all my heart. #gratitude #thankful #blessed

Just look, Look at a baby born at 26 weeks and 1 day. She was a Warrior on Earth, now she’s a Warrior in heaven! I’m stressed y’all and I’m depressed y’all, I got pregnant the exact two month mark of my little Angela being My Angel. Look premature birth can happen even when you eat the right things, exercise, and have faith in God. I call mommies as you would, I call the coroner’s office every month. I speak to the Doctor that performed my daughter’s autopsy. I didn’t and don’t want to keep calling, they keep saying they’ll have answers in a few months and that’s why it’s hard to call because I want a scientific answers now like the movies. They say it takes time however, I’d rather hear that and make sure they know I’m looking for answers too. They say January is the six month mark and they’ll know the rest then. Angela’s pathologist informed me that Sids is the termed used when the world of doctors cant find out why your baby/babies pass away. So until all the tests come back negative I won’t say Angela passed from Sids (sudden infant deatn syndrome)! When it all comes back negative I’ll except what I already know. I know that our children belong to God first, us second, and when he gives us gifts and the blessing to give birth to life (even if you had a miscarriage you’ve carried an Angel from God himself) he knows when he wants them back. Guess what we have Angels that are going to heaven and they want to meet us there. Perhaps when you lose a child on Earth that’s because you’re meant to be there mother in the after life (heaven)! I really needed to get this out mommies and mommies to be, being pregnant with an Angels sibling brings a lot of Joy, Acknowledgement of needing wisdom, and Thankfulness! #IGaveBirthToAnAngel #ILoveYouAngelaMary #Gratitude

My two biggest blessings. I don’t know where I would be without these two. They have truly changed me for the better. #gratitude

22 week sonogram growth update:
Logan is measuring a week ahead and is 1 lb 2 oz. since he measuring a week further and is a good weight they are considering starting the steroids shots sooner to help his lungs develop. We are still in the early stages on strict bed rest at the hospital but these are huge milestones. #gratitude
Thank you all who are praying for us. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart 💙

So your guy didn’t take the trash out? Big deal. He’s a little whiny? Whatever, you’re probably worse. Plays the game too much? Learn to play with him or find a hobby yourself. The love of my life, my soul mate, feel ill last night. His BP skyrocketed. When they rushed him back, I wasn’t allowed to go. Everybody kept telling me don’t cry, calm down, he’ll be fine. And as he lay there not knowing what would happen, I could hear him saying “let me see my Taye. Bring her to me.” His nurse gave me this when they got him sedated. The love of my life, in this gurney.
…he is better this morning. His heart was already under some strain from losing his brother last week, along with the stress of almost not getting to keep our nieces and nephews. Their mother decided to try to extort money.  This is the result–a broken heart. (We still have them. All together, all safe.)
NEVER underestimate the power of #gratitude. I’m looking forward to him forgetting to take out the trash,  sleeping through his alarm, and leaving the empty milk carton in the fridge. Annoying? Yah. Definitely.  But it means he is still with me.

Well ladies tonight someone i know lost their baby boy whose 5 days younger then my own boy. Tonight im more then thankful for my son i get to hold him in my arms. Im thankful that God gave me him and has protected us both. In thankful that his father hasnt come to get my son. I am grateful for each day i have him to hear him cry and laugh to watch him move and sleep. Tonight i feel wat it is to realize life is but a breath away. God has given me life that i hold him in my arms. #gratitude

im grateful for……being blessed with a person that loves my bipolar, psychotic, 76 personalities  having !@#, for healthy kids being able to get on my nerves when they know it’s too cold to be getting put out (lol), for God giving me the strength and mind to still be determined to be the wife and mom my family needs me to be, for seeing another year, for the women on this app who can agree or disagree with me at the end of the day and still be a women and keep it 💯……and for the food, i can’t make it without the food and s/o to panera bread and chipotle #gratitude  (thats how we Houston, Texans show gratitude lol)

Today, I am so grateful for my unborn daughter, and my boyfriend, they has pushed me to get my life back together and fix my mistakes, last week I paid off one of my charges for probation & today I finished my community service and I will be COMPLETELY paying off my probation fines in order to get off probation and get my license back! I’ve been working towards this point everyday since I found out I was pregnant to make sure I got it done before she comes into this world. Everything I do is For you baby girl and I feel so blessed to have you! & I’m especially grateful for my loving, supportive and hard working man ❤👪👶🎀#gratitude

I am greatful for my son 👶, family👶👦👧👨👩👴 , being able to see another day🌕🌞, having god in my life☝😇, a roof over my head🏠, food in my stomach🍞🍕🍖🍗🍤🍝🍟🍔🍬🍭🍮 and clothes on my back👖👕👗👢👠👡👚. i am thankful for all the extra things tht i have that are not needs👜👙💄📱📷📀📼, i am thankful for being able to help others and just thankful for life☺😇 😊#GRATITUDE

IMG_1761

I’m thankful for the fact that I wasn’t supposed to be able to carry a baby but God blessed me with my beautiful little prince. #gratitude

I am grateful for my precious little angel, Isabella Faith-Ann Shane. She has become my whole world. :) #gratitude

I am thankful for food on my table, a roof over my head, breath in my lungs, blood in my veins, ambulance didn’t have to stop in front of my doors, being a wife to my wonderful husband, being a mother to my beautiful son.#gratitude ❤❤🙌

so I have the best #gratitude story ever! I went to kmart to pay off my son’s layaway and get it out after arguing with my husband before I left about whether or not we even had the money to do so. well I was standing in the line and some older man started small talk about christmas with Me and I told him it was our first in our first home and how excited I was. well my turn came and he walked up to the counter with me (I found that odd) and he said I would like to pay off this woman’s layaway for christmas with a big smile on his face. I said no and immediately told him that I couldn’t accept that and he just slid his card and smiled at me. since he knew that this layaway was for my 19 month old only (from our short convo) he also made me go through the store and find a few things for my 11 year old. I just cried and cried and asked him if I could give him a hug because I had no words for how grateful I was. my faith in humanity has been restored completely. I can’t believe someone chose me to bless with such an amazing christmas gift not just the fact that I saved some money but for the simple fact that I needed a reason to believe in people again and I hope one day I can pay it forward to the next person who may be fighting with their husband about money scared they might not be able to afford christmas for their children. all I know is his name is Scott and that he is a christmas angel and I’m so grateful. #LongPost #SorryNotSorry #ChristmasAngelsAreReal

My #gratitude post definitely has to go to someone I pretty much consider a sister @tayek she has been there since she saw my first rough post and we can text each other lines from mean girls and just go with it. She is such an amazing soul and caring person I’m happy we met ! My next #gratitude goes to my husband who has been an angel this whole pregnancy , supporting me in school and even doing my homework sometimes , he reads books goes to every appointment and class . He has been engaged emotionally and physically always putting us first . I’m thankful for both of our families who have supported and loved us even from afar ❤️😊🙏🏾

Honestly I can’t even count how many of you ladies have been in my corner. Even tho o look crazy reacting to my phone screen as of we are all together in person lol #gratitude

My #gratitude post?  Easy. My best friend @mommy2jaidyn.noah! I needed someone to share this adventure with, who could understand my particular “stuff.” She texts me,  we talk about everything. Going thru this pregnancy without my mom, and with everyone else so far, has reduced me to tears many days. I will never again underestimate the power and comfort behind a simple “hey, how are ya” or random emojis. She has been my support, my comfort, my humor. I have a great husband, a wonderful family, and some incredible other friends  (on and off Preggie–I’ll never diminish any of you so don’t fret) but she’s literally walking thru the same fire.

I’m grateful for all the wonderful advice I have received from all of you wonderful ladies on @preggie_usa #gratitude 💙

My Health and Happiness…. This year had been a great year for me…. I struggled I’m 2014 with depression and just being down right unhappy… I was able to talk to my husband who is the love of my life, spoke with a doctor And worked on myself everyday and continue to do so because I need to be healthy and happy for my Beautiful  children. So today I am greatful for being blessed with such an amazing support system. My husband and our 3 beautiful girls have been my everything. And they saved my life…. talk about #gratitude I am one lucky momma 😍😘💋

I wanted to take a moment to express the things I am thankful for in my life. I came very close to losing my beautiful boys during my pregnancies, they are now 8 and 9 years old and amazingly healthy. I thank god for that every day. I am also thankful that this pregnancy with my daughter has yet to show any complications, and am hopeful for a smooth safe delivery in a few weeks. I have been blessed with an amazing husband who loves me just the way I am. And a supportive (yet sometimes dysfunctional) family who’s got my back whenever I need them. ❤️ I have made a lot of mistakes, and have been through some extremely tough trials in my life, but have come out on the other side and will continue to better myself for my children, myself, and my family. Thank you for the second chance at life 👏🏻
#gratitude

I am thankful for my boyfriend Kyle who has taken in my 4 month old daughter as his own since before she was even born.
I’m thankful for all the support I have from this app. All of the ladies have been very helpful and supportive. I love this app and the community of women on here.
I recently found out I am pregnant with my second child. I am VERY thankful that Kyles parents and my parents are supportive about us having a baby on the way.
lastly I’m thankful that my family, friends, my boyfriend, my daughter and myself are all healthy. :)
#gratitude

I am blown away by all of the blessings I have been given in this life. I wasn’t blessed with a great dad, but I was blessed with an amazing mother who loves me as much as any two parents could combined. She is my best friend aside from my husband, and is always there – no matter what. As a child, I have lots of great memories with my two younger brothers, even if we don’t talk now. I will forever hold those times in my heart. I have been blessed with four fantastic, wild, crazy children – they are all unique, and very special in their own ways. It hasn’t always been easy, but it has been worth it. They enrich my life so much. I have been blessed with a husband that loves me more than I have ever witnessed a man love a woman in my life. He would literally lay down and die for me. He would do anything for me. I love that man beyond words that I could ever say, and I could never have asked for a better husband. Even through all of my faults, flaws, and mistakes, he has always loved me unconditionally – and I know he will always be by my side. I have been blessed with this miracle baby that was not supposed to be able to happen. I never thought I’d be here again, pregnant, excited, and waiting. I am blessed to have beaten the beginning of cervical cancer by the grace of God, and I am thankful for my life and for still being here today. I am thankful for my youngest son’s life, who was diagnosed with an arachnoid cyst on the back of his brain a few years ago, when we initially were fearing the worst as a mass was found. He is alive, healthy, and will be okay, cyst and all. I am thankful for the opportunity I had to attend college and become more than I thought I could be as a Paralegal, and a Notary Public. I was also blessed with the opportunity to be a writer and write for some of the top cosmetic and skin care companies in the USA for 3 years. I’m thankful for the house I have that my husband works so hard to peovide, for the gorgeous car I drive, for the food I eat and the comfortable bed that I lay my head on every night. And last but most certainly not least, I am thankful for a God that loved me so much, that he would send his son Jesus to die for me, so that I may live. #gratitude #thankful #grateful

so glad my pregnancy is going smoothly and I haven’t had any major complaints or a million minor ones #gratitude #PregnancyIsntEasy #IDontLikeComplaining #ImBlessed #Regardless

#gratitude so thankful that both my boys beat all odds and are here on earth with me today

I am very grateful for the past two years. I have encountered many hard moments that made me question myself, my ability to be a good mother and even my sanity. I have endured a very dark period of time only to come out on the other side with the sun shining on my face. I have awakened to the wonderful new self I have learned to love so that I can truly love the others in my life. I have learned to prioritize my life and become the mother I could only dream of becoming before. I remarried my ex husband and brought our family back together again, we are even stronger than before waiting on the arrival of our newest member due in May 2016. I am not proud of my past but I can definitely express my #gratitude for the lessons I have learned along the way.

I am extremely grateful for the year I have had in 2015. I went from miserable and lost to finding my soul mate , getting married to him , and conceiving our son who I’ll be here soon. I have everything I ever dreamed of growing up and just when I thought it wasn’t going to happen too. #gratitude

 

 

I get great comfort in knowing she is with my Mother until we all meet again I’ll LOVE them both from Earth to the skies with midnight cries! I wish you all happy and healthy pregnancies and to all of you trying keep faith and your time is coming. #GladToBeBack #Gratitude

besides health, food, my dog, my turtle, ,y family & a home, I’m  really thankful for my daughter!

Having a new day, every day with the two sweetest smiles a mother could ask for- and ending each hearing “I love you Mom” is what I am most grateful for. Their very existence. My reason for pushing myself harder than I ever thought possible. I am thankful to grow and develop as a mother as well as be apart of their growth and development. Nothing more could be a true blessing.

 

IMG_1764

I am thankful for myself and my baby to have been blessed to have made it through the difficult times throughout my pregnancy and thankful that my husband was there. I am thankful that my beautiful miracle baby is almost 10 months of age. #gratitude #blessings

I’m thankful for my baby girl laura and the amazing support I get from my family ♡

I’m  thankful for life in general because everday that I wake up in the morning is a blessing. I’m  thankful  for my daughter turning 1 today, for her beautiful  smiles, even  her messiness and the days she seals her lips tight so that she won’t have to eat lol.  last but not least my loving husband that does his best everyday  to make sure his family is happy and safe. As time goes by and I get older and gain more wisdom I look more at the beautiful things in life and not so much the ugly.

I’m thankful for my sweet little girl. Every morning I wake up to her little kicks. Best feeling ever. Shes so perfect. ♡

I’m thankful to have given birth to an Angel. God gave me my Angel for two months and in those two months my life has changed forever. I’m thankful for the baby I’m carrying right now. I am also Thankful to God for giving another opportunity to witness a mircale! I’m Thankful for the good, bad, ugly, bad decisions, and having The Best Mother ever. Even though she’s gone Cancer didn’t beat her she beat Cancer! My daughter was a warrior born premature and strong, I’m thankful for them now being my Angels watching over me together! I’m thankful for the unknown strength God knows I have.
