Beyond Thankful

I have never felt so lucky and thankful as I do today. I try my hardest to be thankful for everything in my life, the good, the bad the ugly- everyday, not just on Thanksgiving. I try to see the upside in everything, the silver lining. So much that my co-workers probably hate me some days. The other day a girl in my office came in complaining that about the rain. "It could be worse" i told her. She shrugged and got her morning coffee.

A few days later we had our first 'snow'. This first 'snow' was about a month earlier than it was last year so everyone at work was talking about it. Everyone complained about how unprepared they were, and how much they were dreading the snow and the cold and blah blah blah. I told her- it could be worse. What if, for whatever reason, you were unable to see snow, or feel the breeze on your face? How easily we forget of all the blessings in our lives. We take so many things for granted now a days- its quite sad.

As i sit here, balancing my laptop on my belly, I am overwhelmed with feelings of gratitude. I can feel my baby kick as I type this. My heart flutters every time i think about the life that is growing inside of me. I still can't believe that soon I will have a baby in my arms. Sometime i am find myself speechless, dumbfounded. I try to comprehend and wrap my head around the miracle that is life. Seriously. I hate to gross anyone out- but seriously, a baby, a human life is developing from an egg and sperm. Ten little fingers and ten little toes. A beating heart. A personality.

Amazing.

And i am lucky enough to get to experience this. I am so lucky that this baby has chosen us to be his parents. I can't wait to meet my baby boy. Only a few weeks to go and i will get to hold him in my arms.

I am so thankful.
