30 days of Thankfulness

So being pregnant with my 2nd blessing, is just that a HUGE blessing. But sometimes (like everyday)I forget and just focus on the uncomfortableness of pregnancy, having a Husband who is very limited to what he can do to help around the house, and chasing a toddler I feel like all I ever do is complain!! So I joined a couple friends on facebook to write 1 thing we are thankful for everyday in November. It's WAY easy for me to come up with something to be thankful for everyday and honestly I should just do it everyday of the year! Instead of blogging one everyday and falling behind I am just posting the whole darn month's worth at once :) Your welcome!

Day #1 of 30 days of thankfulness; Today I am super duper grateful and happy for our gorgeous 70 degree weather!!! Flip flops on November 1st is amazing! I wish this was the worst our winters got ;)

Day #2 of 30 days of Thankfulness- soooo grateful for this little baby growing inside of me. Haven't met her but I am so crazy in love w/ her and glad she is "perfect" and healthy!! Had such a perfect pregnancy I keep waiting for the "shoe to drop", but can't wait to meet her and love her!

Day 3 in the 30 days of thankful; today (and everyday!) I am most especially thankful for my amazing girl/Mommy friends God has blessed me with! So wonderful to have sweet friends with sweet friends that Hailey loves to play with and we can sit and chat and just get each other! So helpful and the reason I have my sanity ♥

Day 4 of 30 days of Thankfulness; Today I am soooo thankful for my amazing family. They are always there in the drop of a hat when I need them, and love and spoil Hay like CRAZY! She loves them so much too! So blessed to have my Mom and Sister has 2 of my best friends!!!

30 days of Thankful day 5; sooo thankful for all the non-medical people God has put in our lives and the knowledge he has given them. Between our Chiropractor, Holistic Dr, and Midwive we are so much more healthy then we have ever been and I am so grateful!

30 days of Thankful day 6; after having the worst I truly know that I have the BEST man in the world for me. I am soooooo appreciative of how hard he works for his lil family and takes care of us. He is the BEST Daddy in the world and his girls are sooo lucky. He treats me like a Queen and knows my heart and doesn't think I'm crazy ;) Love you

30 days of Thankfulness day 7; Thankful for our health! Even though I have a little cold/sinus junk right now we are soooo healthy most of the time. We are so blessed to not have serious illness in either of our families and keep the medical bills down! :)

30 days of Thankful day 8: sooo thankful for my warm house, electricity to have heat, and all our yummy food we are blessed with! I know not everybody has all these luxuries I do and I need to be more grateful!

30 days of Thankful day 9; sooo thankful for my sweet first born. She drives me crazy everyday and I am never patient enough, but she also makes me laugh every.single.day no matter what. She made me a Momma and we are just walking down this road together learning as we go. I love her more then she will ever know!

30 days of Thankful day 10; might sound silly but I am soooo thankful to God for giving us delicious fruit! Most especially when I am pregnant I loooove fruit. Especially my nightly oranges ;) It's the little things in life!

30 days of Thankful day 11; so very very thankful for all our veterans for serving and keeping our country safe, free, and amazing. I don't think I could ever live anywhere else, and it's because of them! I am a spoiled American! Special thanks to my Grandpa's, Steve's Grandpa's, my Dad, neighbor, cousin, and many friends I owe them so much!!

30 days of Thankful day 12: so thankful for my country and state I live in. I am PROUD to be a spoil American and even more proud to be a Husker! Will always defend my state, town, and country. We are so lucky and blessed to live where we do! GO BIG RED!

30 days of Thankfulness day 13; so thankful for our small group and church. It's such a great place to learn and grow, and I love how they love Hailey in her sunday school, and excited for next fall when she can go to Awana's. If your looking for an awesome welcoming church in Omaha please ask me!

30 days of Thankfulness day 14; MUSIC!!! Music is seriously my life and I LOVE it. We have my mp3 running 24/7, usually KLove but I love all types!! Honestly the way to my heart is through music. You can laugh at me but one of the reasons I feel in love w/ Steve was he was a male version of me when it came to music. (he listened to Wilson Phillips! Ha he will hate me now!) :) It makes me happy and is my #1 way to worship

30 days of Thankful day 15; so thankful for my Hubby's job. It is such a blessing and answer to prayer. They are sooooo flexible and Family oriented! I'm so grateful for the friendships he has made, and that he doesn't dread/hate going to work or bring work home with him!

30 days of Thankful day 16: is just keeping it real y'all it's one of "those" days and I am thankful pregnancy is only 40 weeks and not longer. I can't do this much longer then 7 more weeks!

30 days of Thankfulness day 17; Our amazing Zoo in Omaha! (and FUN friends who go with you!) So fun to see the animals through Hailey's eyes, and I almost always learn something new about God's amazing creations every time we go. Such a fun time! Also grateful that my Hubby lets met indulge and buy a membership so we can visit often, he knows my heart and how much I love it there :)

30 days of Thankfulness day 18; so thankful that I love in the same city as my family/Steve's family. I LOVE that Hailey knows and LOVES her Grandparents so much (um can you say SPOILED??), and her Aunts and Uncles. She just lights up when she is with them and Momma and Daddy do not exist! We are so blessed and I hope we never have to move away, I don't know what I would do w/out them and all their help! But we do miss our extended Family and if I had to I think I could survive in Michigan ;)

30 days of Thankfulness day 19; thankful for my daughters kind and sweet helpful heart. She really tries to please Mommy (and Daddy) and LOVES to be "Momma's helper" it's so sweet and I hope and pray she always stays this way. (oh and that Little Sister also gets this trait where ever it came from ;)

30 days of Thankfulness day 20: for technology! I don't know WHAT I would do w/out email (talk on the phone?? UGH), facebook and other modern things we take for granted. Especially my dishwasher! I am so spoiled ;)

30 days of Thankfulness day 21; being able to go to walmart and stock my pantry/fridge FULL of food (more then we need!). I know not everybody is able to do this, and I complain about how much I spend and all that. I am grateful!

30 days of Thankfulness day 22; so thankful for my HOT showers! Such an indulgence that isn't good for me, but I LOVE them and so happy to have hot water in my warm house on this yucky cold day!

30 days of Thankfulness day 23; super thankful BOTH of my out-of-state best friends are here for the Holiday! Can't wait to see them and LOVE them both so much! Hope they know how important they are to me and I treasure their friendship. Especially Meg, for using almost ALLLLL your vacation time this year in Omaha to see me! LOVE YOU tons and bunches ♥

30 days of Thankfulness day 24; This is pretty much a given for every day for me, but I am most especially to God. He has given us this amazing country where we can have freedom and celebrate Thanksgiving. All my friends and family who I am so THANKFUL for, and all my blessings come from him!

30 days of Thankfulness day 25; thankful for weekends and fun family time! I LOVE Saturday and Sunday's when Hubby is home and is a HUGE help with Hailey and giving this tired Momma a break! Hailey is so lucky and LOVES playing w/ Daddy, he is SO much more fun then Momma and I'm OK with that ;)

30 days of Thankfulness day 26; thankful and excited for Christmas decorations! Especially this year and seeing it through Hailey's eyes. Teaching her about Baby Jesus and all the fun that comes along with it makes this Momma's heart so happy!!!!

30 days of Thankfulness day 27; thankful for my extra WARM house, comfty old sweatshirts, and slippers!!!

30 days of Thankfulness day 28; Is thankful for Matt. Matt works at the walmart we grocery shop at every Monday. He is older (30's?) and is a little mentally handicapped, he is the greater and Hailey has a love affair with Matt. If I could adopt him I would! He is soooo sweet and LOVES Hailey. Always giving her stickers and telling her to be Momma's good helper. It is so so sweet, and I'm pretty sure she blesses him and as much as he blesses us! Makes our shopping trip so much fun, and I love that randomly throughout the week Hailey asks to go to walmart and see Matt :)

30 days of Thankfulness day 29; thankful we are blessed by Steve's job so I can stay home with my precious girls! I could not EVER imagine sending them to daycare and not being there everyday to witness the hilarious things Hailey says/does, and all the milestones. I am excited to be able to stay home when #2 comes, not having a schedule and being able to come and go as we please! Don't know how you working Mom's do it, your amazing!

30 days of Thankfulness day 30; not that I would ever want to wish time away, especially with Hailey at such a fun age, but I'm thankful November is over and tomorrow is December 1st. The month I will get to meet our newest blessing!! I can't wait to hold her and see how similar/different she is then her sister. So glad I thought of 30 things to be thankful for, and could think of 1000's more, but I am most thankful for my God, my family, friends, my Hubby and 2 girls the most! ♥
