Giving Thanks
This hasn't been the easiest of years - a complicated pregnancy and losing a beloved pet top the list of difficult things to deal with, and yet….
There is a lot to be thankful for:
being pregnant after all the years of trying with a healthy baby (just got to keep her in there 5 1/2 more weeks or so).
growing ever closer and bonding with my husband…he has had to shoulder a lot of burdens since I've been pregnant and there has barely been a peep out of him - he just does what needs to be done and is there for me as much as he can be.
family (on both sides) who love and support all three of us.
friends who encourage and help and step up when we need them to.
and even though I was stuck at home in bed for Thanksgiving and couldn't go to the family get together, we still had 'Mom's Takeout" Thanksgiving dinner, and of course the best part is that I was at HOME and not stuck in the hospital.
All in all, that's a lot to be thankful for.
My thoughts are with those in the armed forces that are away from their loved ones this year. May they be out of harm's way and with their families next year.
