Thankful Thursday

Hey hey!

(Ina and Dan “hiding” from me in the “pallet” they like to build out of 20 blankets every night.)

I hope your Thursday is going well so far. Mine is going great, and as always there are so many things to be thankful for!

I am thankful for the ladies in my small group who threw us pregnant ladies a “sprinkle.” We ate really good food, opened the cutest gifts, and enjoyed the luxury of chatting without wrangling in our children.

Tiaras and all, it was a lovely evening.

I am thankful that Kim was able to watch Ina during the 20 minute overlap that I would be gone and Dan was on his way home from work.

Not only did she watch Ina, she brought over ice cream cake. 

No, you can’t have her.

I am thankful for sharpies and their ability to cover the toddler induced bleach marks on my favorite (re: only) maternity maxi skirt. 

Maxi skirts and dresses are going to be even more valuable to me in the next 8 weeks because yesterday my midwife took one look at my lovely varicose veins and told me I needed to start wearing compression on my right leg. As if having a huge belly and a waddle wasn’t attractive enough, now I get to add a nylon stocking to my look.

But seriously, other than that, my mid-wife said my pregnancy is going perfectly and all my numbers are spot on. So, of course, for that I am super thankful. 

I am thankful for Dan’s newly acquired meat smoking abilities - on a grill no less!

Yesterday he smoked chicken breast stuffed with swiss cheese and ham, served with broccoli and potato, I could eat that every night of my life. 

I hope you have a wonderful day! What are you thankful for?
