So Thankful

I can’t begin to tell you how thankful I am this year. There are so many things I’m grateful for, I don’t even know where to begin…

My wonderful husband. What a year we’ve had! A new job, a few ups and downs, and now starting a family! I love you very much!

A baby! We are very blessed to be pregnant and can’t wait to meet our daughter in April. I can’t believe I’m already more than half way there! Time is sure flying by these days.

A supportive (and understanding) family. I couldn’t ask for better parents or parents-in-law, or better sisters or brothers, or nephews! Thank you all for being there for me and being patient with me this year, and especially these last few months in particular! I couldn’t do this without you.

A nice house, good cars, clothes, food, basic necessities. There are so many people out there without these things, I do my best not to take what I have for granted. Sometimes it’s tough.

Stable jobs for Rob and I. While there may be changes coming, it’s wonderful to have good jobs right now and a (more or less!) stable future. And no matter what the future holds, we’ll get through it together.

We had a fantastic- if eventful- Thanksgiving! The food was good, the company great, and only one person needed stitches! :) Poor mom, just as the turkey was being carved and we were sitting down to eat, she cut her finger and dad had to take her to the hospital. It could have been far worse though! 7 stitches and 2+ hours later, they were home and we finally got to eat all the fantastic food! I think I was full all weekend.

The baby is doing great and kicking all over the place! Rob finally got to feel the “mini mango-tree legs” in action! Maybe we have another soccer player on our hands. :) We go in again tomorrow to the doctor to review the ultrasound results; he wasn’t there last week when we got the ultrasound done. The tech didn’t see any problems, and was VERY certain that she’s a she, but the doc will tell us all the details tomorrow. Almost 21 weeks! Sheesh!!

I hope your Thanksgiving was as good as ours was. And now it’s time for Christmas!! I can’t wait. We decorated our tree and the living room last night. Here’s to hoping I’m able to get the Christmas cards out on time! :)
