Thankful Thursday!

Happy Thursday, Folks!  I suppose we are all off to a better weekend with the sunny sunny sunshine.  Even you guys in Liverpool are feeling it this week.   So if anything we can be happy about that. 

Although I am not having the greatest of weeks, or months, I can still find things to be grateful for.  This is important and I think that even when you are going through a rut or a most impossible pregnancy you must always look for the good things. So that is what I do.

This week I am thankful for...

Being Able to Brush My Teeth Like Usual -  During my first trimester I couldn't brush the back of my tongue.  I'd gag on my toothbrush and feel sick for hours.  I don't know if you know this but I am obsessed with brushing my teeth and having it taste minty fresh.  In no way do I enjoy my mouth tasting like butt.  So it dawned on me today as I was vigorously brushing the back of my tongue and not gagging that I was vigorously brushing the back of my mouth and not gagging!  I was so happy about this!  For real it was my first genuine smile of the day! So I am pretty stinkin' grateful that I can do that again and I'm also thankful that I noticed it when I was in a phunk!

The Amount of People Who Are Reaching Out to Send Their Support - I mean for real these are people that I haven't spoken to in years.  And they are calling, texting, messaging me their well wishes for Pip and I. I am grateful for it.  I appreciate every single good wish, juju, good vibe, and prayer that are sent our way. So thank you, thank you, thank you.

That People Buy Presents for Pip - It's not the fact that they are buying him things, it's not  a materialistic thing at all. I like it because when people give me things for Pip I think "oh, hey, they think he will make it too."  That might sound stupid and it's cool if you think it does but to me it's comforting. Thoughtful, of course, but the fact that they think he's going to stick around too is very, very nice to know.

Pip Gave Me Thumbs Up -  I know it's just silly nonsense and he has no idea what a thumbs up means but the Universe does! I am taking Pip's thumbs up as a sign of him telling me, "Chillax.  We got this. I'll see you in the fall."  The ultrasound tech was able to get a photo of him doing it (he did it twice) and whenever I get discouraged I look at that picture and just remind myself that every little thing is gonna be alright.

Dann's Plane Ticket is Booked! - Thank goodness!  I cannot wait to have him here.  June 26th cannot come soon enough.  At least I know when and how that is happening!


What are you thankful for?
