Day 14
I am thankful for good health. Chris and I have been blessed with our good health. With the exception of my Thyroid issues we are pretty healthy. And more importantly Jackson is healthy. As a parent I consider that a HUGE blessing. He had a runny nose for a few days but other than that we have been very lucky. Knock on wood it will stay that way!
Day 15
I am thankful for the people who love my son. If there is one thing he isn't short on it's love. The women who work in the nursery at church are a huge blessing to me. Jackson adores them and every Sunday they pour their love on him. Because of that Chris and I are able to enjoy the church service. Our friends are always there willing to help. Especially when I need somebody to help watch him in the spur of the moment. Jackson has so many "aunts" and "uncles". Our families love him to the moon and back. Not every child can say that they have 2 sets of grandparents and 3 sets of great grandparents. I don't think he will ever know truly how much he is loved:)
Day 16
I am thankful for McDonald's sweet tea. Yes I know this sounds silly but in my eyes it is one of the best things ever created! There isn't anything that a big ole glass of Mickey D's sweet tea can't fix!
Day17
I am thankful for time spent with Jackson. My house may not always be clean, there may be piles of laundry to do, or dishes to be washed but at the end of the day that isn't what matters. What matters is that I made time for Jackson. Time to go to the park and eat frozen yogurt. Time to swing....even when he wants to swing for 45 min. Time to sing and time to dance. I know he is to young to understand it now but one day I hope he can look back and say that his mommy made time to make memories.
Day 18
I am thankful for the quiet moments of my day. Now I don't have many of those...which is why I am SO THANKFUL for the few I have:). On days when Jackson sleeps in, I find myself still getting up at 6 just to enjoy some peace and quiet. You know eating breakfast without cheerios flying around. Being able to pee without somebody looking at you! Sometimes if I'm lucky naptime will fall during Ellen and I will get to watch it...all of it...uninterupted. It's funny how having children will make you appreciate the little things a whole lot more!!
Day 19
I am thankful for the last 9 months. Today my child is 9 months old. My oh my where has the time gone? I am thankful for every sleepless night, every crazy hectic day, every cry, every ounce of spit up, every mess that had to be cleaned up, every exhausting moment of every single day. I am thankful for every smile, every laugh, every song we have sung together, every teachable moment, every single ounce of joy that sweet boy has brought to my life. I am thankful for what the last 9 months has taught me. That I can operate on zero hours of sleep. That I can love somebody more than myself, more than anybody else. That I can do anything I set my mind to. I love you Jackson Ryan!
Day 20
I'm thankful for love. Last week I had the honor of being a part of my best friend's wedding. When I think back on where we were 10 years ago I never would have thought either one of us would be married. This very special friend of mine has had her fair share of ups and downs but love always prevailed. And it's that kind of love I am thankful for. The kind of love that no one or nothing can destroy. The kind of love that makes you fight for what you want and what you believe in. To watch her marry the man of her dreams made me SO happy. She fianlly got her fairy tale. I am so thankful that my best friend....someone who deserves the world...found that love:)
Day 21
I am thankful that Jackson is saying mama:) That is all!
