Enough Complaining

I think I have done enough complaining for one week - this post is going to be all about what I am grateful for.

First and foremost - I am so very grateful to be pregnant with a healthy little baby.  I had my 8 week ultrasound today and the baby is measuring at 16.1 - they wanted to see the baby between 15 and 17 - so he/she is measuring perfectly.  I saw the heartbeat just beating away and everything looks good.  I also made my first OB appointment for July 7th.  Even though I am sick - it means the baby is growing and doing well so it is all worth it.

Second - I have to say how very grateful I am for my husband - I do not know what I would do without him - he has stepped up and is really taken great care of me.  He gives me my shots and makes sure the medicine is always refilled.  He cooks me dinner and does the wash and the food shopping.  I am so happy after all these years that we finally get to start a family together.

Third - I am grateful for my cat - he is so cute and so loving and he just snuggles next to me everyday when I take my naps.

Fourth - I am grateful for our jobs - I know in this economy - we are so lucky to have good jobs that pay well and have benefits.

Fifth - Family and Friends - I just found out my brother will most certainly be coming home for my birthday in August - I am so excited to see him - it has been almost two years - he is making Staff Sergent this summer and I am so very proud of him.  My cousin Ricky - he has been by my side through it all and I know I can always count on him - and even though I do not have alot of family - I have really great friends.

There is so much more I am grateful for - those are just my top five for now.  Lastly I leave you with my latest ultrasound picture - the picture is not the best quality but you can see my little peanut.
