Grateful Friday
Today I am grateful for traveling mercies....I drive 30 mins to work each way everyday and I make it there and back with little to no headache...Also, my family is back at home after going to my uncle's funeral and I am glad they are back safe and sound...so thank God for traveling mercies...

Grateful Friday
Grateful Friday…
Today I am grateful that I only have to work a half a day.
I am so tired right now I could put my head down on my desk and take a 3 hr nap…
The last few days I have been coming in to work 30 mins to an hour early so that I can get things done but that is starting to take a toll not to mention getting up 3 times a night to use the potty…all makes for one really tired mommy-to-be.
In other news, my due date has been moved to September 30! What 20 days from today…let the countdown begin…Jelly is still really active and especially adamant in the AM if I delay my breakfast time.
At my doctor’s visit today the doctor, stated that I was 50% effaced so I am thinning out quickly because last week I was a closed shop no signs of anything happening and this week…we are on our way…still not anywhere as close as having him tomorrow but still. And with all that my little guy is still not dropped into my pelvis…I am still carrying him fairly high but he is on his way down and that in of itself is great news and a blessing…so I am also grateful for a baby that does what natures tells him…
This weekend I will pack my hospital bag (that’s more of a mental pep-talk for myself). Hubby the good guy he is washed our little ones clothes yesterday and I have folded them and they are ready to be packed and put away…today we will wash the cloth diapers of which we have an abundance…and continue to prepare the space we have for the baby… My little guy is on his way and though I am not completely ready…I am glad that soon he will be on the outside…

Grateful Friday
The other day I had a mini breakdown with hubby because he wanted to use the car seat his niece and nephew used when they were babies and his mother was watching them. They claim that the car seat was hardly used but it was used...and I am trying to tell the hubby that you don't use hand my down car seats and he is trying to convince me that it was barely used. Of course after about 5 mins of this I get emotional...my baby deserves new stuff he doesn't get a nursery just as yet but he will get one just later in life...but a new car seat I can provide him and gosh danit I will...
What does this have to do with being grateful...
Well after my mini breakdown...I realized that I need to be more grateful I am not on the streets, I still have a job, I can afford a home I just need to look for one...and I am going to be a mommy...so I am grateful for family that help out in times of need..and I will remind myself it could be worse...Not that any of that means I won't be getting a new car seat for Jelly Bean because I will...he deserves a new safe and clean car seat.
So thank you GOD for family, friends and a husband who loves me...and even more so for the baby that keeps rolling around in my belly...
I know in the end it will all work out.

Grateful Friday
I think I am going to start doing Grateful Fridays...
Friday is by far one of my favorite days of the week. It's the start of the weekend, I get to leave work by 1pm...what more can a girl ask for?!
This Friday I am grateful for the rain and a loving husband.
Rain- first off I love rain, I was born in a place that only had summer and rainy season so rain and the sound and smell are very relaxing for me... This over the last 3 weeks my area has had 3 major rainfalls, all taking out power and trees...it has been horrible for those of us who commute. At the sametime one cannot deny the calming effect of the sound of rain as it hits the roof of a house, umbrella etc...
Also, the earth needs to the rain and it helps cool us all down...RAIN...AHHH!
As for the hubby, I am grateful for him because he lets me be who I am...yest he may not like all of me and thinks I can improve...he accepts me for who I am and loves being my other half...and I love him back for those very reasons...he not perfect but he fits me just right...so I am grateful to God that I have a hubby and one that compliments me...
Grateful Friday...what are you grateful for.
