This Thursday, I am thankful for our new apartment. We have so much more space it’s not even funny. I never really realized how small our one bedroom apartment was until we moved our things into this new place.
When we looked at it, it didn’t seem all that much bigger. Josh wanted to put the computer desk in the bedroom which I was skeptical about. I didn’t think there was any way our bedroom furniture plus a computer desk could fit, but once he got everything moved in and arranged I was amazed to see that not only did it fit, but we actually had room to spare. We have a wonderful walk-in closet and our own bathroom. That’s right, if we have guests stay with us we can actually close our bedroom door and use our own bathroom without having to worry about putting on robes (or clothes at all) to plod to the bathroom in the middle of the night… And our guests will have their very own bathroom, too.
Our living room is cozy and our walls adorned with our favorite movie posters (for those of you who are unaware, Josh and I are huge movie buffs). We actually have a little dining area, too and thanks to my brother-in-law will soon have a table set to put there. Josh put up family photos in our eating space; photos of me and him, of our grandparents, etc. My husband is actually quite the decorator. I’ve never been good with decorating or how things look spatially but he is fantastic at it!
I am so, so thankful that our baby girl has her own room. A nursery that he and I can work together on making a special place for her. It’s not much yet – we have her dresser up and it’s loaded with stuffed animals. Her changing table has been assembled and has some of her bath and first aid items on the shelves underneath. Her closet is full of hangers and is waiting for the little clothes to be put on them. I cannot wait to sit in there on the glider that we will soon be getting (thanks Grandpa Gerry and Sue!) and rock her while she feeds.
Our new place is a home. It’s where our family will begin, and where we will be for the next few years at least. I love it… It is perfect. I promise I will post pictures……. Soon.

I won’t be including a picture. I am updating from my home computer and my home computer likes to spaz out and crash when I do too many things at once, because it sucks.
Today, I am thankful for my Nellie Rose. The sweet, tiny little girl that’s growing inside of my womb as I sit here typing. I’m going to get to see her again next Saturday for our big 3D ultrasound and I can’t wait. One more look at her before she makes her big debut.
Yesterday, my doctor checked my cervix for dilation. I was amazed that it’s come to that already… My girl is really and truly just a few short weeks away from being in my arms. How did the time go so quickly? It seems like just yesterday I was standing in my bathroom, staring in disbelief at the positive pregnancy test, feeling overwhelmed that it had finally happened… It feels like yesterday that I first saw my tiny little baby on the ultrasound, giving us a wiggle and looking like a Gummi Bear. I felt like I was never going to get out of the first trimester; into that “safety zone” and now I’m just a few weeks away from delivery. The moment I’ve waited for for so long is going to be here before I know it.
Nellie Rose…. Thank you again for choosing me to be your mama. Thank you for staying with me, for growing big and healthy. I cherish every bump, every kick and every flutter that you give me. Even when you dig your little feet into my ribs.. I love it. I love to think about you; to imagine what you’re going to look like. I spend many moments dreaming about your personality, about what your likes and dislikes will be. We picked out your first stuffed animal yesterday.. One that’s from me and daddy. I hope that you will like it. I love you so much, little girl, and it’s amazing to me that my heart will fill even more with love when I lay eyes on you. It takes my breath away to think about how much richer my life will become with you in it… Because it’s already been enriched so much just by your kicks and nudges. Today – and every day – Nellie Rose, I am thankful for you.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates it. I am looking forward to eating myself into a food coma later.

I am thankful for my husband, Joshua and our marriage.
My husband is the most amazing human being I’ve ever met. He is kind, sweet, caring, funny, handsome, sexy, strong, loving, and makes the most amazing pot of chili you’ll ever eat. The 6 1/2 years I’ve known him have been richer because he’s been in my life. We have shared so many moments of laughter, of love, and even of sorrow. He truly is my other half; the part of my soul that I never knew was missing until I found it. If you know me, you know I’m not a religious person. I believe that he and I have been together and have known each other in many other lifetimes. We make sense together, and we are strong together.
I cannot wait to see my Joshua as a father. He already loves this child so much that it fills my heart to the point of bursting. To see him holding her; cuddling her, feeding her is something I can’t even wrap my mind around right now. I cannot wait to see him tell her stories, to wipe away her tears and hold her hand as she toddles along. I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt that this man is going to make a phenomenal daddy.
So today, and every other day of my life I am thankful for the sweet man that I am blessed to call my husband and my best friend.
