Since its the Season of Thanks. Let's Dear Diary what we are thankful for, eh?
I am, of course, thankful for my beautiful and wonderful babies. They make being a mom so much fun!
I am thankful for my job. It pays really well for me to do next to nothing and Bump/lurk most of the day.
I am thankful for my health. I may not exercise or eat right but I'm am happy to have no ailments.
I am thankful for pants with elastic/drawstring waists. I plan to tear up some food this week and utilize those bad boys!
Re: Thankful Tuesday
I'm thankful for my husband putting up with my crazy emotions the past few years while I was pregnant and my off the wall hormones after having them.
And diapers, wipes, and running water. And my washing machine.
DH and I were talking and figuring that hygiene and babies must have been a lot harder years ago.
I'm thankful for my friends and mentors. I had a tough year and pregnancy, but was always uplifted by their smiles, kind words, help, and prayers.
I'm thankful for my new job. It is a much needed increase in salary and responsibility. I feel like a career woman.
I am thankful for my wonderful ob, and modern medicine. I was on partial bed rest from 14w and ended up needing an emergency C-section after a 51 hr labor. My Dr rolled with me through it all, listened to me gripe and whine, validated my concerns, and helped me deliver my gift from God.
I'm thankful for these boards. I didn't have any interactions with kids until I was 3 months pregnant. Never babysat or anything along those lines. These ladies helped me to know I wasn't alone in how I was feeling and helped me prepare as best I could for baby's arrival.
I am so thankful.
I am thankful for the development if surfactant and all the amazing NICU nurses that showed such sincere affection and concern for DS1.
I am thankful for both my boys and DH. They make all the simple things so much more exciting.
I am also thankful for my parents, their continued support and that they chose to come to the USA to give us a better opportunity.

1) My dream come true...I'm finally a SAHM.
2) Everything we need. What we want & what we need are two different things & we have all of what we need & a lot of what we want.
3) My relationship with Jesus Christ. I'm not religious & I'm not spiritual. I just love Jesus & knowing Him has changed my life.
4) DH. I'm not being hokey here...but I've been in a terrible marriage & I'm now in a great one. I know I snagged a great one with DH.
5) These kiddos of mine. I'm so grateful. DS is compassionate & DD smiles 24/7. They each have their moments of terror but overall, I'm exploding with pride.
6) You guys rock. Really. You've seen me through some hard days, celebrated some good days & made me belly laugh every day in between with your clever snark. ((cyber hug!))
I'm thankful for getting to stay home with DS.
I'm thankful for all of our great family and friends and all of the help they've given us.
I'm thankful for the Florida "winter" and not having snow everywhere!
I'm really thankful to all the people who contribute here and have made this a community of support for the last year. It's meant a lot to have this place in my life.
