100th Post and What I'm Thankful For

I cannot believe that this is my 100th post! I started this blog almost exactly a year ago when T and I found out we were expecting.  So much has changed in the past year and I can't imagine it any other way.  I figured that I'd take a moment to share what I'm thankful for with Thanksgiving being so close (12 days away!!).

First and foremost, I am thankful for my family of 3.  I never knew that I could be so happy, or love so much.  My heart literally almost bursts all day long.  I'm just so in love with being a mommy, and Reese is the best baby ever.  I'm thankful that she's so calm, so well mannered, and such a good sleeper.  I'm thankful that she's basically made her own schedule (eat, play, sleep), and that I know her signs of being tired, hungry, bored, etc.  We're totally into a groove now, and I can anticipate her needs.  She makes T and I want more babies! If all of our babes could be as awesome as Reese, we'd have 10! Ha! Just kidding, but maybe 3...but watch the next baby be much harder!

I'm so thankful for being able to stay home with Reese.  My hubby works very, very hard to provide for our family, and for that I am forever grateful.  I know that not everyone has this luxury, and even those that could stay home, don't all choose to do so.  Being a stay at home mom is certainly not for everyone, but it is definitely for me.  With Reese home with me she gets my undivided attention and gets loved on all day! Reese keeps me busy, and on top of that keeping up with household chores, errands, preparing dinner each night, etc. fill my days for sure.  I can tell you that I'm never bored! Each day I think about how awful it would be for us if I had to drop her off at daycare each morning.  It breaks my heart just thinking about it.  I'm not sure how people do it, but I guess you do what you have to do and you don't know how strong you are until you don't have an option. So, again, I am extremely thankful for my hubby giving me this opportunity.

T is not only a great hubby, but he is an amazing daddy.  He loves Reese to the moon and back.  He is such a amazing help, and he just gushes over Reese.  He's totally become 'that guy' that quickly whips out his cell phone to show the latest pictures of Reese to anyone that will look.  The two of them have an amazing bond.  Reese knows her daddy, and the second he comes home or she hears him talking, she'll crank her neck all around to see him. It melts my heart.

What are you thankful for?
