Things I Am Thankful For, 2007 Edition

| | Comments (12)
In no particular order...

  • Understanding co-workers who have made it possible for me to have a flexible transition back into full time work.
  • A very kind and loving mother-in-law who adores a certain small person and who will be watching her in December.  This is the kind of peace of mind for child care that money just can't buy.
  • Modern medicine.  If you know anyone and love anyone who has ever had major heart surgery, this one is self-explainatory. It is beyond scary to imagine what it would have been like to live it a world where we couldn't fix things in our bodies.  We still have much to learn, but what we know already is pretty amazing.
  • That my family can be together for Thanksgiving.  With my parents in Michigan, John and I in Illinois and my brother and his wife in Texas, it's harder than you think to get everyone together.  
  • A supportive husband who has made having a child a shared experience, and who works hard to make sure that I have some time to do some things on my own.
  • Most of all, I am thankful for this:

Your daughter is beautiful; welcome to the wonderful world of parenting! Kudos to you for following your baby's cues & allowing her to sleep on her tummy...there's a lot of research out there about different possible causes of SIDS; my 3 slept on their tummys as well (and with me, usually!). :)

LOVE your whiskers & paw prints sock pattern!
