20 Weeks and Thankful...

Happy Thanksgiving! Or at least that's when I meant to post. Thanks to severe internet connection issues, I am a couple of days late. But watchout, the satellite internet is installed on Wednesday...I may be posting every day after that!

I'm Thankful for...

• Well, obviously, a baby on the way!
• Dr. Wilshire and the staff at Mid Missouri Reproductive Center - how many people does it take to conceive a child...apparently seven not including mom and dad.
• A baby bump that, without question, shows everyone I encounter the miracle that God has done in my life.
• Little old ladies who tell me I am too big and I will never loose this baby weight. Whew, I was worried, now I don't even have to try!
• Elastic waistbands!! Who knew maternity clothes were sooo comfortable? No wonder I saw several obviously not pregnant women wearing maternity clothes while shopping on Friday morning.
• Apparently it's perfectly okay for a pregnant woman to have ice cream any time of the day without judgement.
• No stress to lose weight before my trip to Mexico in January.
• A belly massage anytime I want - go ahead, I don't mind.
• Friends who tell me the honest, and sometimes disgusting, truth about what's going to happen in the next four months.
• A husband that tries to understand hormones, body changes, and tiredness...but still pushes me to not be a wimp.
• A husband that no longer uses the word "Plump" to describe his pregnant wife. In fact, he has only said it in my presence twice but has endured the never ending punishment.
• Friends, family, and strangers who share my joy and excitement!
