It is late and I need to get to bed but I didn't want to forget to do a Thankful Thursday for today. I like having to contemplate what it is that I am thankful for each week. When I miss a week I feel it and I cant afford to loose some of the faith and hope I gain from having gratitude.
Today I am thankful for my mommy in law, Carolyn who came into town really late last night to come and take care of me. This pregnancy has taken a toll on me and more than ever we needed assistance just to get things going again with the house and with my health. Today she happily made short work of my filthy kitchen and laundry and living room. She was so great to have around and I can feel the strength that I am getting from getting to rest a bit more.
I don't have a lot of energy left now and if I push my day longer I will pay for it tomorrow. But I wanted to say a heartfelt moment of gratitude for the sacrifice I feel she has made for me. One more happier note to add: I think I have felt the baby move for the first time today. I cant be sure of course since I havent ever felt it this early before (I am 2 weeks earlier than I felt it with Lyman or Corilynn) but they say that happens with each pregnancy. Im not a rookie though and I know the wonderful feeling of a baby's movement and it was also a strength for me today.

Oh how very you blessed are to have her!
Hope all the yuckiness ends for you soon.
what a sweet mo-in-law! that is so awesome! i LOVE feeling the baby move! it's so crazy! i started feeling the baby move at 13 weeks and figured I was either super in tune with my uterus or further along than I thought. Either way, it is such a reassuring and comforting thing in the midst of feeling like crap all day long. I hope you get feeling better and better with each day! keep at it and don't kick yourself for not having a perfect house or a gourmet meal on the table; you built a lung today. ;)
I hope you start feeling better.
I had a dream last night that you were pregnant with twins. One was a boy and one was a girl. Crazy! When is the big Ultra Sound?
