Good afternoon and happy Thankful Monday!

Here’s what I’m thankful for this week:

1. I’m thankful for a good report at our ultrasound today.  Despite me having a little trouble laying on my back long enough without getting sick, both babies (currently nicknamed Tex and Virg) are doing well!  Tex is 1 pound and 2 ounces and Virg is a pound and they are both growing well and have strong heartbeats.  I’m so thankful that they are growing so well thus far and that I have not had any complications.  If I’m lucky, I’ll get to avoid bed rest.
2. I’m thankful for a wonderful family who helped me start painting the babies’ nursery on Saturday.  Phyllis, Sarah, Ian, and Ben all pitched in to start turning the nursery from pink (a seemingly favorite color of the previous owner of our house) to a nice neutral off-white color.  I hope they know how grateful I am for their help.
3. I’m thankful my father-in-law is ok.  After a fall down some steps during the snow storm we had last week, he ended up in the hospital with broken ribs and a punctured lung.  I wish he hadn’t sustained the injuries but I am glad he is ok, on the mend, and in good hands.
4. I’m thankful for a job that allows me to work from home during snow storms so that I don’t have to risk driving on the treacherous roads.  I worked from home last Thursday and Friday because we were snowed-in due to the foot of snow that fell Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
5. I’m grateful for my husband Ben.  He continues to take great care of me and provide me with wonderful emotional support throughout my pregnancy.  Whether it’s building a fire to keep me warm, clipping my toenails or helping me put on my shoes because I have a hard time reaching my feet, or just rubbing my back, he has been so great and I love him.

Have a happy day friends!
