1. The fact that i still have a baby in me at 35 weeks and have had ZERO intervention!!!!

3. My oldest has been expressing that he is really excited to be a big brother again. All the feels
4. My moms 60th birthday party is Friday and all my nephews will be there. It’s been a long time since all the cousins were together! #boyfamily lol
5. The apple pie my husband bought me
6. My husband period. Idk if it’s cause I’m working so much or what but nesting skipped me this time. My husband has been going nuts getting everything ready and letting me nap! Which is amazing since my night sleeping has been ridiculous.
7. Fall!!! I seriously LOVE fall!
8. One of my amazing friends who gave me a massage gift card. She’s the best!
9. All our laundry being done. Haha
10. My bed. We upgraded to an adjustable bed and sitting/sleeping on an incline is seriously life changing for my crazy heartburn. I love it!!!
1. Elastic-band pants. 2. Fall--and being able to wear hoodies! (OK they're DH's hoodies, but still) 3. Friends who come over and help me assemble the crib (saving me from 2 hours of listening to my husband swear and throw things b/c he's hella impatient with that stuff) 4. Apple cider, fall-themed snacks in general 5. My SIL is due 4 weeks ahead of me--I'm super stoked to see her go through this before I do. 6. Mean Girls (tomorrow is October 3rd). 7. The nursery coming together and making me feel more prepared. 8. Baby kicks!! She is almost violently excited every time I eat. She definitely shares my love for food. 9. Final baby shower this weekend 10. Healthy baby at 33 weeks. After all the time and effort it took to get pregnant, I expected an up-hill battle through this pregnancy, but it's been smooth sailing!

1 - DH for being completely understanding when he has to pick up the slack at home because I "just need to put my feet up" And for just being awesome, in general. 2 - My dad and step-mom for tickets to see the Lion King musical last night. (seriously, SO GOOD) 3 - My entire care team (OB, MFM, Ped Cardiologists, nurses, US techs, etc) that is making sure these babies - and mamma - are healthy. 4 - My boss for understanding and having NO issues with me going to any appointment that is scheduled for this pregnancy. 5 - The generosity and love that friends and family have already shown these babes 6 - The fact that I actually checked something off of my "To Do Before Babies" checklist!!

Hearing them say "we've got this" and having complete faith that they do is such a blessing! 9 - The Starbucks app - I get an absurd amount of pleasure bypassing both the lines in the drive thru and store to pick up my drink that is prepared and waiting for me. 10 - Most importantly, these two little babes that are still growing inside me.
