So I don't actually know what this discussion is supposed to be about. No one has posted one yet, so I figured I would go for it, and just assume what it's supposed to be! (Feel free to educate me if I have assumed incorrectly!)
I have a couple ideas for pregnancy related lists, but I thought the world can always use more positivity, so I want to make this week a general:
10 things that make you happy!
Re: 10 Things Tuesday
1) my bed
2) my pillows
3) my kitties when they let me sleep
4) my blankets
5) jolly ranchers - watermelon flavor
6) stretchy work pants
7) boxed macaroni and cheese

9) MH (when he isn't ticking me off, so it's debatable atm)
10) most of all my little dot

1. My husband. I literally love him more every day. He has been so supportive and patient through all of this, it's incredible. The way he looks at me makes me melt, and feel safe all at once.
2. My puppy (who isn't a puppy any more). Her unconditional love is a great feeling. Even if she is exhausting.
3. All things Disney
