thankful...

so far, during this pregnancy, i am thankful for:

• nesquik chocolate powder & milk
• pop ice popsicles (the cheap ones that we all remember from childhood)
• udder balm & ivory soap (remember the 'chicken pox' i thought i had in march/april? turns out it was probably a pregnancy thing. thank goodness for udder balm & ivory soap that cleared my itchies away).
• ginger: tea, fragances, anything---takes away my pukies
• friends & family who let me be slightly neurotic & a little obsessive and who smile through it all!
• a husband who makes me chocolate milk every night so i can take my vitamins without retching & who understands when i don't make supper b/c i can't stand the smells of the kitchen (how long can i get away with that by the way?)
• my computer so i can research the best & cutest baby gear!
• a doctor that i am completely comfortable with & whose office seems to truly care
• a God who knew when it would be best for Mike & I to have our first child & that He has provided us with new jobs & new prospects for the future & the ability to splurge a little on this baby
• a healthy baby heartbeat!!!
