Today, I am thankful for:
1. The fact that I am full-term (37 weeks pregnant) today! I never thought I would get to this point, for a whole host of reasons, but I'm here and I have an active belly to prove it. I love knowing that at any point from here on out, I can go into labour and have a perfectly healthy, take-home baby.
2. How much time Carter (and I) spent outside today. The weather was amazing for this time of year and my dad, brother, and husband were once again working on the exterior of our house, so Carter and I spent a couple of hours out there as well. Carter ran around like a guy trying to escape a fire in his own diaper, while I waddled after him, frequently sharply inhaling my breath as baby tried to headbutt his way into the world. I'm telling you, the pain these headbutts cause are worse than labour. There is a term for this sensation, actually. It is affectionately referred to by pregnant women as "lightening crotch" and it's about as fun as it sounds. Google it. Or don't. I'd understand either way.
3. I know this shouldn't be something I'm thankful for but, dang it, I am: I got a ton of laundry done today. My laundry, bedding, Carter's laundry, baby laundry. You name it; I washed it. Sadly, there is more. So much more. But the point is, I got a good lot of it done today.
