What I'm Thankful For. . .

Today is Thanksgiving! It will be a day filled with family and delicious food. It is also a day to reflect on what you are thankful for. Today I am thankful for my enormous family and for the fact that I get to be a part of three, yes three different Thanksgiving day parties. Sometimes it is overwhelming trying to fit everything and everyone in one day, but knowing that I have so many people who love us and just want to be with us makes me feel so good. I am thankful to have this Thanksgiving with my Pampa and although it will be sad because there will now be one more empty seat at the table, it is a time for us to come together and remember my Mema and my Uncle Donnie and how he was cracking jokes and was so happy just last year.

I am thankful for my parents and in-laws. I can never thank them enough for all they do for us, whether it be making our favorite dinners, to showing up with a box of diapers when it is needed the most. Most of all I am thankful that they love Tanner so much! My son is so lucky to have three sets of grandparents and an uncle and an auntie who would do anything in the world for him! Watching him and seeing how much he loves them melts my heart.

This year I am also so thankful to Dr. Arthur Haney who gave me hope that having another (healthy) baby is actually a possibility! This man is so kind and understanding and has helped thousands of women all over the world bring healthy babies home. He keeps in contact and is always just an email away. I wish there were more doctors like this out there. I am also so thankful for all of my "Abbysisters" the woman I have met from all over the country who have lost precious babies, or came close to it because of our condition. These woman are a network of support and love and I cherish having these woman (even though I've never met most of them) in my life.

I'm thankful for my home. It may not be the newest or prettiest house in the world, but it's home and I love it! It is filled with love and laughter and three naughty dogs who I love with all of my heart (most of the time).

And finally, I am MOST thankful for my husband and son.  Morgan is an amazing friend and partner. I am so thankful for the fact that he works SO hard in order to give me the ability to stay home with Tanner. It was my dream to be a stay at home mom and Morgan made that dream and so many others come true. Tanner is my biggest blessing! I didn't know it was possible to love someone else so much! He is the absolute BEST thing that I have and will ever do.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with love and lots and lots of food!!

I may not be thankful for the weight I might gain today, but oh well. . .
