Inspired by another thread I saw recently. For this thread, I have two parts to this. What are you grateful for:

  • on Beehaw? - Anything you like about this community, an interaction you appreciated, something that brightened your day, an aspect of site culture that appeals to you, etc.

  • offline/in real life? - Just more generally, what are you thankful for? Anything that's happened in your life recently that has turned out to be good, people making a positive difference in your life, etc.

I don't really have anything to add about Beehaw that hasn't already been said numerous times. I'm very new, but it seems like a friendly place.

IRL, I'm happy that my 7 week baby slept 6 hours two nights ago! She usually maxes out around 4 of sleeping, with occasional nights where she's hungry every other hour, so the occasional long sleep stretches are amazing. I'm hoping for more sleep to come.

Record your baby's cry! It seems weird, I know, but they lose that newborn cry so quickly.

In general, though, remember to take pictures of the (literally) shitty moments, too. Kids love to hear stories about themselves as a baby and you're so sleep deprived right now that your memory isn't firing on all cylinders.

Records will help you remember so you can tell your kids the story of the time they shit an over the wall explosively. They'll love it.

And I know it seems like that should be something really memorable as a parent, but you'll be cleaning up so many bodily fluids it isn't really noteworthy after a while. And did I mention the sleep deprivation affecting memory? I don't remember.
