Thankful Thursday




It's my first time participating in Thankful Thursday, and I think this couldn't be a better week to do so.

I've had one of those weeks where I've found more negatives than positives, been short on the prayers with the Big Man Upstairs, and it's resulted in a crabby me around the home front.

I really need to change my view and count the blessings!
Here goes:

~I am especially thankful for my very patient husband this week.
He's survived my mood swings, my cravings, and completely given me breaks from our son. He rubs my feet without hesitation, cooks dinner, bathes the boy....I am so thankful for him.

~I am thankful for my son. I am thankful for that energy that drove me nuts this week. I'd rather he have the ability to move than not. And he also has so many sweet moments. He always tries to help me off the couch and up the stairs. He's like his daddy. :)

~I'm thankful I got my sling this week!

~I'm thankful that my OB apt. went well again this week. Our unborn baby, though causing me discomfort, is moving a ton and growing. I can't wait to meet him!

~Above all, I am thankful that God has more patience than I do. I am grateful that He allows us mistakes, and room to grow from them. I am thankful He always listens, forgives, and accepts.

Patient caring husbands are the best. I too know what it's like to have a high energy child, and I agree that it is a blessing that they can move. I enjoyed your list. May God give you a wondeful week to come!

Oooh I needed hubby to survive my mood swings the last week or more too.

Our mood swings do tend to put the men in our lives through it, don't they? Praying for you and your baby to be healthy and safe...

Thanks to everyone for stopping by my blog! :)

And thank you especially for the prayers and good wishes for the remainder of this pregnancy. If you read older posts, you'll quickly learn it's needed!

I hope to continue Thankful Thursdays. I feel uplifted reading all of your replies, and it does help me focus on what is important.

I'll be stopping by your blogs, too!
