Hello, pregnancy hormones, which made me cry at every one of these posts

I am thankful to have a three year old who still loves to cuddle, and is so loving towards me and the baby belly.
I am thankful for said three year old who has recently decided to burst into song all the time and is constantly surprising us by new songs that he knows. It took him a long time but we are loving it. He asks to play "Heartless" by Kris Allen over and over and he thoroughly enjoys making us smile while he sings.
I am thankful for this precious baby inside of me and that it is still safely growing away with a beautiful little beating heart.
I am extremely thankful to have our home, when last year at this time I had no idea where or how we would even have one.
I am thankful for this wonderful supportive environment, where we can always come when we need an ear, need a laugh, need to vent... it is pretty crazy that we have found this little place on the internet that has turned into so much more for so many of us.
Happy Thursday
Miranda, you are so sweet. This last part is so, so true. I don't know what I would do without the friends, companionship, laughs and advice of the ladies on this board.
