Thankful Thursday: First one of 2013

By

I really wish I kept up with the Thankful Thursdays my friend Joanna hosts over on her blog, Baby Gators Den, but there’s always something, and I end up pushing off doing this post.

I feel it’s fitting now to write one seeing as though I’m two weeks away from my due date, and I may not get to post as often. And the truth is, there’s always a lot to be thankful for!

This is my “maternity edition” of Thankful Thursday.

I’m thankful:

I can still shave my legs in the shower without falling over. Seriously, other moms would agree, it’s a chore to keep up with “stuff” like this while pregnant.

I’m still feeling good for the most part. The back pain, leg cramps and Braxton Hicks are all peanuts compared to what labor and delivery will be like! I’ve been getting a few energy spurts, so that’s been helpful!

I’m pretty much done preparing for this baby. Nursery finished, bottles sanitized, clothes washed, swings and bouncers are put together, town police sergeant installed the car seat….This little boy can come any day now, and I will be ready. Hopefully….

My husband literally does anything and everything to help me out. From getting my vitamins while I’m in bed at night because I forgot, to STILL packing my lunch for work, to clearing the dinner table, to listening to me whine. It is much appreciated even when I forget to say it.

I’m not swollen yet. I remember being swollen with my first child and it was uncomfortable. This time, not yet and hopefully not all. Although, a lot can happen in two weeks!

What are you thankful for today?

    Omigoodness, you are SO close! I am 36 weeks and the Braxton Hicks are crazy lately-which has caused me go into a full-fledged nesting mode 🙂

      Me too! I’m getting all sorts of early labor signs and I have everyone on standby. It’s the craziest thing never knowing when it’ll happen. Good luck to you in the coming weeks Sarah!
