Thankful on Thursday

Tomorrow Kennedy Grace will be considered full term (by most accounts). I am so amazingly thankful. There were certainly days and weeks and months where I wasn’t sure when or if this would happen for Andrew and I. Simply and completely thankful.

Today I spent some time chatting with Shelly and realized how thankful I am to have people, like her, in my life that when I’m done talking to them on the phone I feel more like myself than I did before I got to chat with them. They are those people in my life who I can say I truly know and who truly know me.

I get to see lots of friends this weekend!

I was recently having coffee with a couple of other Marine Corps wives. One of them mentioned how thankful she was that she got to choose between working and staying home and that no matter what she decided she was just thankful that she truly got to choose. She was SO right. Not everyone is so lucky. I’m thankful I get to be home right now. I have no idea how people work through the last few weeks of their pregnancy…kudos to those of you who I’m lucky enough to call friends that have done just that. I’m in awe of you.

Oh, Andrew. I’m so thankful for him. He’s so understanding when I look at him and declare, “I’m going to burst into tears at any moment now and it’s nothing you did, I just feel it coming…attack of the hormones!” He just accepts it as easily as he would if I’d said something sane.

Nutty. My little shadow during the day. I’d be so bored without him around right now!

Happy Friday!
