Thankful Thursday

Lately I have been feeling very ungrateful for what I have. I have gotten caught up in the world and in life that I forgot to look around me and remember that I have a beautiful family who I love and who loves me more than anything. So I am going to try and post every Thursday something that I am thankful for. Today I am thankful for my husband, Tom, who loves me unconditionally even when I don't love myself. Everyone's toughest critic is themselves. I love in the mirror and I pick out all the flaws. But when my husband looks at me he tells me I am beautiful and he loves me just the way I am. I am grateful for a man in my life who takes good care of me and always wants to put his family first. He is the best Dad and I love seeing those two play together. They make all the worries go away, put a smile on my face and make my heart happy.

I am also thankful for this little guy. Before I was a mom, I saw my friends having babies and becoming mothers, they'd say "I never thought I could love someone so much". I thought to myself well of course you are going to love your kiddos. But when you set eyes on your baby for the first time, it is the most wonderful feeling of love. Something that you can't even begin to describe to others. He has my heart and I am wrapped around his little fingers. He is learning so much and is so smart. He talks a lot, just like his mama! He likes to tell me in the morning "No work" like come on Mom just stay home with me. I wish I could stay home everyday but alas I can't I would go crazy. I am so thankful for the opportunity to be his mom, I have been given a precious miracle and I'll never take that for granted.
