Thankful Thursdays

Welcome to the 3rd edition of Thankful Thursdays. If you happen to read this, please leave a comment with at-least one thing you are thankful for this week. It is such a cleansing thing to name at-least one thing that blesses you and remember that we have it a lot better than we think we do.

This week I am so very very very thankful for a healthy baby, especially after so many woman that are due around the same time as me have found out that their babies have problems. There are so very many things that can go wrong during a pregnancy and I just feel so blessed that I have been given 3 children with a clean bill of health.

I am also thankful that Nathan and I will be having a date night on Saturday night! His parents are going to be taking the boys for the evening and we are going out to supper and possibly a movie! I am so very lucky to have lots of family around that I trust to watch the boys, so Nathan and I can continue to have special time together, especially before our next little bean joins us in June. Oh and did I mention that Nathan and I also will be taking off for a weekend mid April, child care provided by my mom, to go to a marriage retreat. I am very excited! It will be our last big getaway before baby #3 joins us in June.

I am so very very thankful that I have gotten about 5 consecutive nights where I have not had to lay with Colin in the middle of the night. And on top of that the boys are now sleeping in the same room, and sleeping better than they did separately I might add. I am very thankful for that. That means I get a couple extra months to get the baby's nursery perfect before his or her arrival! I was really dreading moving them into the same room and it has been so smooth. Did I also mention that Colin was the instigator and it wasn't even my idea in the first place.

So feel free to join me in Thankful Thursdays and cleanse yourself for the week by remembering how truly blessed you really are.
