So, I know it is Saturday, well actually Sunday, since it is past midnight, but I have been meaning to do this for a few weeks now. A few blogs I follow do this every Thursday and I just think it is really a neat time to show all that I am grateful for =)
So here is my first post.
1. Easton- I am sure he will be #1 all the time. He is such a sweet baby. I cannot believe he is already almost a month old. He is sleeping 3-4 hours at a time and is almost always happy (unless he is cold, overly tired or hungry) He just started smiling to your voice this week. His smile totally melts my heart.
2. Justin- He is the BEST dad ever. He is seriously my rock. When I am an emotional, hormonal mess, he jumps in and takes over. He will make dinner, let me nap, do whatever he can after working a ten hour day to keep me sane and not tired or stressed. He is such a good provider and role model for Easton. I can only hope E turns out to be half the man Justin is. He even stayed home from work Thursday to take care of Easton because I felt sick. I am SO blessed.
3. My family- They are so supportive and inspirational even from a distance. I wish so much I lived closer to them. I was SO happy when they were visiting. They are the best grandparents and auntie to E.
4. Justin's family- They are GREAT! They babysit and offer advice and always do their best to make sure we are taken care of. His parents are so great to me and E. They have helped us out a lot and we are so grateful. Today E spent the afternoon with his grammy and gpa and daddy cleaned the garage and mommy went grocery shopping to 3 stores! It was so nice to go there and pick up a fed, happy, content little guy who gave me the biggest smile when I peeled him out of gpa's arms.
5. Thoughtful friends and extended family- We have been BEYOND blessed with so many nice gifts. With me not working, financially things are a little hard, but we have been given so many gift cards and clothes and toys and diapers and formula. I am SO grateful.
6. My health- So many people I know have been sick lately. I am so thankful for my health. I do have a sinus infection, but that is so minor compared to what others are going through.
7. The fall weather- Fall is my FAVORITE time of year and it has been absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I can't wait to start taking E on walks.
8. Coupons- Like I said, our money is really tight with a baby and one income, so I am beyond thankful for coupons. Almost every thing I bought today was on a big sale or I had a coupon for =) Makes our money go much further.
9. Our apartment- It is so homey and comfortable. Yesterday I spent the entire day cleaning it and it feels so much more relaxed and organized. I plan to organize the pantry and E's room tomorrow. BIG TASKS!!!
10. TV- Yay for all the new shows coming out this week. Being a stay at home mom I am finding I am much more glued to TV. I can't wait to pick up on new seasons of shows.
