Anniversary, 38.5 Weeks Pregnant, and Gratitude

Today is indeed my anniversary. I have been married to the man of MY dreams for seven years which seems so long in some ways and so short when compared to so many friends and family members. But seven it is. We haven't been in the newlywed stage for quite some time but I am so happy and grateful for where we are. I am overjoyed to see the direction our marriage has taken since having children and thrilled that our family is a happy and thriving one. What would I do without this man or his children?

As such I am so excited to be expanding our little family soon. Here I am with just a week and a half to go. We celebrated last night and so since I was dressed up, I took the opportunity to snap a pic.
This past week, Matthew politely asked that I not deliver since his work schedule (and honestly, mine as well) was so hectic. He just needed to get some projects completed and then Bitty Girl would be more than welcome. Baby girl has honored his request, and now I hope she will honor mine. All my friends who have agreed to take in the Wee Boy while I am in hospital are all going out of town next week with the last one leaving on Saturday. So, I am politely putting my request out there that she arrive sometime next week and she doesn't force my hand to have her manually evicted the following week.
 
Lastly, I am so grateful for my life right now.
  • I live in a BEAUTIFUL part of the country.
  • This summer has been fairly mild with lots of moisture which means our lawn has stayed lush and pretty despite the fact that it is mostly weeds.
  • Bitty Girl has done such a great job of staying out of my ribs and being nice to her mother.
  • My testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ continues to grow despite my thinking that I surely have it all down by now.
  • Matthew is home by 5:15 pm or earlier most days.
  • Zachary is such a happy, funny little boy and is, in my mind at least, becoming so smart. He HATES to have his diaper changed, but I suppose, everyone is entitled to one pet peeve. I just hope this doesn't bode ill come potty training time.
  • We are not rich, but we have more than enough for our needs, and since I get to keep the money I earn, I get to buy a few toys of my own.
  • I have just about made it through a summer being full pregnant and hopefully in the next week or so we will have a bouncing baby girl to call our own!!
Life is good and happy and I really don't want to be pregnant any more.

It's not moisture; it's rain. Stop hanging around all of those silly mormons :)
