Things I am thankful for in no particular order:

1. Our baby is still healthy and moving plentifully (it’s uncomfortable but reassuring as I’m now a few days past due).
2. A new mattress!  The one we had sagged in places and made nursing difficult because we’d roll into each other.  Our little one waiting a bit gave us time to go IKEA shopping and get one!
3. I’m caught up with the finances!  Mom’s time with Joseph and help with the household means more computer and project time for me.  I went through some receipts from 2010(!) and tied up other loose ends that have been sitting around for a good while.  That feels good!
4. A chance to win the baby pool.  Today was my guess for baby’s arrival.  I hope I’m right!
5. My kitchen fairy, who also happens to be my son’s favorite companion at the moment.
6. Extra nesting time.  I’m ready for this baby to join us, but I’m enjoying getting the house in even more order before then.
7. Our beautiful and capable little boy.  He can take off his hat, jacket, mittens and shoes and puts his shoes away when we comes in from outside.  I gave him a haircut (another luxury this late baby allowed us) and he looks older and I find myself wondering how and when such a sweet boy entered our lives!  Sometimes I really feel like I’m saying goodbye and not goodnight when I put him to bed because he’s a like a new boy each morning he’s growing so quickly!
