10 Things Tuesday

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!

I'm sorry I didn't know what the 10 things discussion was actually supposed to be, and thanks for explaining it!
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
5. This pregnancy. Despite the anxiety, I feel so lucky to have this possibility, when I thought I never would. I feel happy every time I realize I have a tiny human inside me.
6. When I have a work partner who will belt out show tunes or Disney songs with me in the ambulance
7. Baby tongues. When they yawn, or stick them out.. I don't know why but they are just so cute!!
