Thankful Thursday

on
I'm thankful for a multitude of things...I feel very blessed. Today marks the 100 day countdown until my baby is due, so today I'm expressing my thanks for being so lucky as to be expecting. I'm thankful to be pregnant, to be able to expect a healthy child, and to be so close to welcoming him into the world.

Not every woman chooses to become a mommy, but for those who do, it's an adventure that is lifechanging and filled with great joy. I look forward to everything life has to bring me, but I am enjoying each step of the way, one day at a time. I'm looking forward to meeting my son, but in no rush to get through these next 100 days...I want to enjoy each and every day for the blessing it is.

    It's great that you're enjoying the final days of pregnancy. Enjoy your sleep and the alone time with you and your husband because once that little baby comes there's no going back!

    I am a new follower and so glad I found your blog! I saw on your profile that you volunteer with the USO. That just made my day because my husband is a career soldier. I love the USO because they help so many soldiers and families. Thank you for your work!

    Good Luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

    I seem to recall the last few months taking ages when I was pregnant.

    Thanks for visiting my blog today! I remember reaching the 100 day countdown. Time is going to fly by and your body will undergo changes you can't even imagine. But it will all be so magical! I wish you continued blessings!

    From the little knowledge I have of the zodiac, Scorpios are known for their magnetic personalities. I guess that could be a good or bad thing depending on how the person wields the power.
    Next the full moons will fall on these dates: Sep 4, Oct 4, Nov 2, Dec 2, Dec 31

    Congratulations!

    Knowing that soon you'll only be in the double-digits... it's exciting, isn't it?

    Enjoy this special time with your little one growing inside of you - you'll think back on it fondly once that sweet baby is a running, jumping toddler. =)
