lately i have not been posting much, i guess i feel like i don't have much to post about. everything in my life seems so small compared to having a baby and because we are having one my life consists of work and sleep. i feel like wonder woman tonight because i actually cleaned the kitchen before eating dinner and it is 7:00pm and i am not in bed yet. this is a rare thing for me. i guess i just wanted to post some things i am thankful for because it seems like this pregnancy has turned me into a hormonal, emotional mess and that i am exhausted all the time...

*i am thankful for the baby girl who is growing in my tummy that i get the blessing of being a mother to

*i am thankful that i am the wife of such an amazing man who works so hard, is so incredible and takes such good care of me and i am so in love with

*i am thankful for the house that we live in that provides us such comfort and a refuge from the storms of life

*i am thankful for my job even though it is often frustrating, i am blessed to have a job and a boss that is so great

*i am thankful for my car that is so great in the snow, and has such great air conditioning in the summer, it provides transportation, comfort and i feel safe when i am riding in it or driving it

*i am thankful for my family, i love them and i know they love me

*i am thankful for medication that is helping me to feel better and keep more food down

*i am thankful for my ipod, sometimes i swear that is the only way i can make it through the work day

*i am thankful for blogs that allow me to keep up on what is going on with my family and friends and gives me the opportunity to express my thoughts and feelings, whether deep and profound or shallow and trivial

*i am thankful for pajamas and sweats, as my tummy is growing it seems like they are the only comfortable thing and i live in them in the evenings and on weekends.


this is a short list and doesn't even scratch the surface of everything i am thankful for, but at least i will be heading to bed with a heart full of gratitude instead of just heartburn...
