I'm not one to get all emotional and sappy and go on an on about what I'm thankful for, but this year I may at least make a little blog space because we do have a lot to be thankful for this year.
I'm thankful that my adorable daughter, who gave us quite a scare at 26 weeks pregnant, was able to incubate to 33 weeks and seem to have little to no lingering/apparent issues with being 7 weeks early.
I'm thankful that somehow me, one of the most impatient people I know, somehow has all the patience in the world for Mallory, but still none for anyone else ; )
I'm thankful that this whole mommy thing hasn't been any where near as hard as I thought it would be, YET!
I'm thankful for all my friends and family that have been with us and supported us through this whole roller-coaster ride of a year.
I'm especially thankful for Ben who essentially had to manage without me for 12 weeks, slept more nights than anyone ever should on the crappy chair bed in my hospital room, set up the nursery and peeled all that crazy wallpaper off the guest bathroom walls and primed the walls, and more things than I can even remember, all while I was either in the hospital or living in the camper while Mallory was in the NICU. And of course, he did all this while having quite the aversion to hospitals and missing all of Spring Turkey Season!!
I'm super thankful that we have an amazing sitter for Mallory in Mrs Carole, I have no worries while I'm working and she's there.
And, in no specific order, I'm thankful for "The Preemie Palace", the preemie forum I talk about from time to time, I would really be clueless about so much without these girls, my life is better because of all of you!
Enough! Here's a few pictures of Bean, there will be more Turkey Day pictures on a follow up post, but this is what I've got for this morning!
