ALL THE GRATITUDE!!

For Beeb. Thank you for sitting so PERFECTLY at your ultrasound. You're a pro. Measuring exactly where you should for 19 weeks. And giving the tech an awesome view of your perfect little heart with awesome echo. And for the little kicks you let me see. That was very sweet of you :)
For my friends who, when mentioning we'd need help painting/moving furniture immediately volunteered to be there and help as much as they can.
For R who bought me lunch today :) and held my hand when I got a little nervous.

BONUS Friday nights are usually our fast-food night. We veg and watch TV.

My darling fiance,

Thank you for

-Working incredibly hard so I may stay at home with our beautiful, spirited, hilarious toddler. I am grateful for this life every single day.

Even the tough days.

-Bringing me coffee in bed every single morning and taking our son so I can have some precious time to myself. It isn't the coffee- or even the alone time!- that makes this my favourite part of the day. It's sitting in bed listening to you and our son giggle, wrestle and chat.

-Always finding ways to be thoughtful and brighten my day even though we are on a tight budget. Last night, after you'd worked overtime, you brought me home a random jar of Marshmellow Fluff you saw in a shop because you thought it was cute and you know I love cute things.

Here's a secret, though. It's not the "cute things" I find so cute and they're not what I'm smiling about for days. You are. You are so sweet and silly while also being such a strong, logical, hard working man. I am grateful for you every minute of every day. It is an honor to know you, let alone to love you, let alone being the mother of your child.

Can't wait to marry you. Best friends forever.

P.S: I'm also super grateful for your butt, DAAAAYYYY-UUUMMMMMM that's a fine butt!

Bonus: Ideal Friday cannot be discussed publicly but it involves a babysitter, new lingerie, 12 hours sleep and a significant number of tacos.

Husband stayed home today and got the inspection on our car updated, which was almost a year overdue. Hallelujah for not being concerned about getting pulled over anymore!
I've been investing more time into cooking, and I'm finally starting to feel like the payoff is real. Even when I throw together something that's pretty casual, I feel good about what I'm serving to my family. I'm really grateful to have a supportive partner and the time and space to do that.
Nanny job started this month, and the extra income is nice.

Friday nights are a big deal in my house--I deep clean the house that day, make a really nice dinner with a dessert, light candles, and we try to focus on doing something together/inviting over people that we care about. It's about to get more complicated with Lent being involved, but I'm looking forward to trying out new things.

It's Wednesday here already! Haha, I digress.

I am thankful that my relatives have returned and they are safe and well. We are all together again and spending more family time. We even play computer games together.
I am thankful for my grandmother's advice lately. She's been mentoring me more and more, even about my relationship, I even have a sneaking feeling she's preparing me for marriage early or something (lol!). Some bits of gold from my grandma:

"When men get angry, they're just hopeless. Give them time to cool off and leave them be. If they love you, they will come back and apologise. Don't bite back, don't fight fire with fire."

"Respect your husband. In turn, he will cherish you."

"Let him lead and don't nag, don't criticise, unless the matter is heavily life-changing."

"Have a routine around your house, especially when the children come. I used to have all three children's school clothing ironed and ready to be worn on their bed the moment they woke up for school."

"Always spend family time with your children, distant parents are asking for disaster."

I am thankful for my exciting SO. He has thought of another wonderful date idea for us and a very, very sneaky 'surprise'. He says I'm very cheeky and he will remember how I always playfully tease him.

Bonus: My ideal Friday night is playing games on the PC or PS4 with a snack like chocolate or fried chicken or iced tea. That, or a great date with the SO. :)

For my husband who brought me home a few little things I needed today:)
For my husband who is bearing the weight of a career change.
For a friend who offered to babysit this weekend.

This Friday night I will be taking care of my sweet husband who is having a procedure done and will have to go under anasthesia for his first time.

I know it's Thursday, but I'll add mine. :)

I'm grateful for my husband taking the day off of work to help my mom and sister move to a new house. My dad passed several years ago, so my hubby is the only man to help with these things.
I'm thankful for my big sister's encouraging words about an issue I was stressing out about. Lots of good wisdom from her this week.
I'm thankful that I got my first smart phone this week. I held on to my old dumb phone for way too long but had to upgrade when my toddler threw it in the dog water bowl. I love this new phone.

Bonus: I love to go to Cookout for burgers on Friday night with hubby and the kids. It's inexpensive and delicious and no one has to cook or clean!
