I am grateful for N

I am grateful for neighbors. It is always nice to have a neighbor to go to when you just need to chat or need support. and dont forget those brain fart moments when you start making cookies and realize you dont have quite enough sugar!!!

i am grateful for M

I am grateful for Mothers. i am grateful for the selfless sacrifice of all mothers. A mothers love for her child is so amazing.

I am grateful for L

I am grateful for love. with out love my life would be empty. Love is what keeps me going when I want to just give up. I am surrounded by so many people who love me and who i love as well. everyone shows there love differently but everyone does love. It is impossible to live without love.

I am grateful for K

Im glad I still need to do K because it fits perfect with my thoughts today. I am grateful for Kicks!!! I know it sounds kinda weird. I have been really sick this past week. On thursday the dr gave me some meds. the cough suppresant had codeine in it so it made our little one drowsy when I took it. he is normally a very active baby all i have to do is sit down lay down or get in the tub if i feel he hasnt been moving enough and there he goes on his kicking marathon. while i was sick i would take my meds and i think it knocked him out becasue he didnt move hardly at all. the meds made me a little drowsy but more sick than anything Tony thought i was crazy because after complaining of a stomach ache. I complained because he wasnt kicking me. He said "your stomach hurts and you want him to kick it??" I love feeling him it lets me know he is ok. I imagine what he is doing inside of my belly everytime i feel him. Is he flipping or just kicking and punching??? anyway that is why I am grateful for Kicks!!!

I am grateful for J

I am grateful for my husbands Job. My husband is a U.S. Marine. Not only am i grateful that he can work for such a good cause but Iam also grateful foir all the militray has done for us. our son's medical bills were millions of dollars and it was completely covered by our insurance. they were also very good about letting him off of work while while Gabriel was still alive. Being in the military we never have to worry about having a place to stay we will alwasy have a roof over our head and we do not have to worry about utilities. Iam grateful for all these benefits.

I am grateful for I

I couldnt think of anything else for "I". but i did already express my gratitude for my father in law. so i think i will just refer you back to my D post where i spoke of my father in law.

I am grateful for H

I am grateful for Home. To me a home is where you feel comfortable and cozy a place where as sson as you walk in you feel love. We may not own our own home but no matter where we are whether it be in military housing or a hotel before we moved in I have always felt at home and comfortable because it is somewhere we are staying together and our love makes it home. Home to me is also going home to see family it is always nice to stay with my fam for awhile. or at Tony's dads house. all of these places we call home.

I am grateful for G

I am grateful for Grandparents. My grandparents are all very special to me. I am very lucky to have so many still around who will soon get to meet our son. Grandparents share so much wisdom with us and alwasy welcoem us with open arms. I am lucky and my son is lucky that he wil have such great grandparents to be loved by.

I am Grateful for F

I am grateful for Faith. I am grateful for not only my Faith but for the faith of others.Through Faith we can get through anything.
I am Grateful for Family. Family is the most important thing to me. Family loves you despite your weaknesses and is always there for you when you need them.

I am grateful for E

I am grateful for Eyes. There are so many things in this life that I have seen that brought me joy. With out my eyes I would miss out on a lot of simple joys like the first time I saw my baby boy. or the first time I saw my husband hold our son. Or even each ultrasound we have recieved. Seeing my baby move is unbelieveable. or even simpler, the peace I feel when I see a rainbow or watching the sunset. I am grateful for all the beautiful things I have seen with my eyes. Without them I would have not been able to enjoy these things. Eyes never lie I am also grateful for the emotions expressed by our eyes. When my husband is trying his hardest to just be strong his eyes give me insight to know he needs me to comfort him.

I am grateful for D

I am grateful for Dad's. I am so proud to have such a hardworking and loving Dad. he does everything in his power to make sure his family has everyhting we need or want. and and would never allow us to go without. I am grateful for my dad's unconditional love and for always believing in me. I love spending time with my Dad and cherish all the memories I have with him. I have always looked up to him and have always trusted his opinion and always will. I know he would never steer me in the wrong direction. Thank you Dad for all your love and all you do for us I love you!!!

I am also grateful for my husbands Dad. He has so much compassion and love for us. He treats me as if i were his own daughter and I really appreciate how welcome he makes me feel in the family. He does so much for us and would never allow us to go with out. I am grateful for the morals he instilled in Tony which is what makes Tony such a wonderful Husband and Father today. Thank you for all you do for us we love you!!!

Tony wanted me to add he is grateful for dogs because he has someone to feed food he doesnt want ( inside joke a friend brought us some food we didnt like but felt to bad to throw it away) and he is grateful for diapers so he doesnt have to worry about getting pooped on. i think im grateful for those too LOL.

Happy birthday Tony!!!

Tony's birthday was on the 7th but he had to work most of the day. While he was gone I wrapped his presents and bought him a cake and made him a spaghetti candle light dinner. Here are pics of all his gifts cards and dinner

Is it just me or did I get alot bigger??? I know my back is starting to hurt alot more. Tony and I went to Fry's so he could spend his bday money and I had to have him keep rubbing my back while we were in line. Ive actually been pretty pain free for the most part until last night. With Gabriel my back had started hurting all the time much earlier than this. This time last year i had so much back pain I had went to the ER. They said I had bulging disks. Maybe im juts more use to it this time around. But I think it is about time to invest in a belly brace!!

I am grateful for C

I am grateful for children. Children are the closest thing to perfect there is. They remind me how to love selflessly and not judge and also how to just enjoy life without worrying over every little thing.

I am grateful for B

I am grateful for beauty. There is beauty all around us. Beauty to me is anything that brings peace to your spirit. I see beauty in love, nature, music, words, acts of service, and many more things, too many to list. God gave us these things to enjoy and to soothe our spirit.

Im grateful for A

Im grateful for Angels. Sorry Missy I had to copy you on that one. I am aware now more than ever that we have angels watching over us all the time. God sends our loved ones back to us to help us through life even after they have passed on. I feel my Angel Gabriel's presence all the time. He is always looking down watching over us. He is our gaurdian angel and I will be forever grateful for that. I love you baby boy!!!!

Thanks melissa you inspired me!!!

For every day in November My friend Melissa has been writing something she is grateful for going in order through the alphabet. She was inspired by her sister and cousin and I was inspired by her. Im a little late so I have a little catching up to do as well. thanks for the inspiration Melissa. I am grateful for so many things and would love to share this with everyone.

Mitzy and Goldie

Goldie is getting so big!!!

spider bite

yesterday Tony's finger swelled up and I was convined it was his body tryin gto get rid of a sliver , so I had him soke it in warm salt water. well the next day it was bigger and not any better so he had the corpsman at work look at it. they think he was either bit by a black widow or brown recluse. they cut it and drained the puss. now it is throbing all the way up his arm but they said that is normal. Im not so sure. The swelling has went down a little so I figured I better get the picture to show everyone before it went down anymore.It actually doesnt look very bad anymore. Tony has been in a lot of pain. but we are hoping it will be feeling better by tomorrow. heres the pretty pics.

My placenta has moved up!!

we had an ultrasound last week. My placenta has moved about 2.5 cm out of the way of my cervix so that was a relief to find out. Thank you all for your prayers!! I know they helped !! Our lil one weighed a pound at that ultrasound. I know baby's grow at different rates but i think he's gonna be chubby because my baby book says the baby should weigh about a pound at 23 weeks. so he is very very healthy!!! im feeling him move so much now. I love it!! when i lay in the bathtub I stare at my belly because I can see him move now. My favorite place is the bathtub it relieves all my aches and pains and there is nothing to distract me from his movements so i feel everything. I wonder if it feels any different to him since he is already surrounded by water???
