Thankful!

It is the day before Thanksgiving and it seems only fitting for me to express just how thankful I am this year for everything in my life! First, I am thankful for my family! All of you, extended, blended, married into, those I see daily, and those I see rarely, I am thankful for each of you! Without you I would not be who I am (for better or worse) and my life would be less full! Second, I am thankful for my wonderful friends and work family. I love you all, and feel so blessed to know each of you and let you know me! I am also thankful for both my health and the health of all those I love! Because of my profession, I know just how lucky I am to have my health and for those around me to also be generally healthy. I am thankful! I am so blessed to have been able to carry sweet Baby Tinch to term without a hint of any problem thus far! The (slightly pessimistic) nurse in me was convinced I would have a variety of troubles along the way but truly this pregnancy has been...dare I say...easy. And I am very thankful for that! I am thankful for soooo much more but really I am most thankful for the above: family, friends and health. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!



Short update on Baby Tinch: our due date is Monday!! Yes, less than a week away! I can't believe it!! I am still feeling much better than I expected to feel at this stage and the baby is "happy" at all of our appointments (the midwives always say this when they listen to his/her heartbeat, I think it is because it fluctuates with stimulation, either way, I love hearing he/she is happy). I have not been "checked", for all I know I am dilated to 8! They told us it really doesn't change anything unless I am in labor and feeling contractions so we are just waiting on Baby T to make his/her arrival, any day now...
