What I'm Thankful For Today...

One of my friends has a list of things she is thankful for on her blog...random things, but when you stop all of the hectic stuff that is life, it makes you a little more grateful. So, here is my list for today...

Watching how much Kaedance loves ballet and how she really has talent at it.
Catching up with a friend.
Walking into my garage and feel like it's not so cluttered...Troy and I organized this weekend.
Troy cleaning up the dog poop without me having to ask!
Being able to still afford gas in my car.
Chocolate shake from In-N-Out that probably will give me heart burn tonight, but is always worth it!
Talking with my parents and knowing no matter how stressed, depressed, or anxious I am about life, they always seem to say the right things to me to make me feel at ease.
Laying on the couch when I really don't feel like doing much else.
Being able to lay next to my husband a few more weeks before we become parents again to a newborn.

Thanks for the idea Amanda...really makes me more appreciative about what I do have to be thankful for!

Pregnancy

So I'm almost 8 months preggo and up till the past few days, I have felt great. I'm really starting to feel that "can never get comfortable feeling" that I somehow forgot when I was pregnant with Kaedance. It amazes me that mother nature has a way to help you forget how this last little bit feels. I start to get checked each week now...whoohoo!! I'm actually looking forward to it in some weird way to know my body is preparing for labor. I'm nervous for that! I asked my OB if and when contractions start, how soon should I go to the hospital since I had Kaedance in 3 hours and was unable to experience the bliss of an epidural. She said no more than 10 mins. apart. So now I feel I have some type of game plan. It sad to know this is the last few weeks where I will fill a baby move inside me...it makes me wonder if I want a third. Thinking of more than two overwhelms me and I'm really ready to move into the next stage of life and get my body into shape. So, little Landon will be the last. My grandpa would tell my grandma when she wanted a third, " You going to try for colors?" They have a girl and a boy. Kinda makes since to me. Seriously, I truly feel blessed to have had to awesome pregnancy's that I will cherish forever!

Life right now

So I decided to catch up this blog since it's been a few weeks. I'm getting bigger and much more uncomfortable. Looking forward to the end...Though I'm trying to enjoy each movement he makes since he will probably be my last. Kaedance is looking forward to his arrival too! She comes with me to some of my OB appointments which I think makes it more real for her. Troy is busy working a lot of hours...we have him seeing a specialist chiropractic doctor who will hopefully fix his neck and back so he can function a little better without so much pain.

This weekend my little brother and his new wife came to stay. It was fun to hangout with them and bond with my new sis-in-law. She is awesome and they are so excited like us, to welcome their baby boy in May.

On a sad note, my mom called me yesterday and told me that my grandfather was in the ICU with a bleeding ulcer. This man has been through so much the last 7 years. He fought cancer, had open heart surgery, numerous bouts of pneumonia, and now this. She said the doctors are hopeful that he will pull through it. It scares me to think we may not have him much longer. He is such an awesome grandpa and great-grandpa and we love him so much. Please keep him in your prayers.
