this time of year, everyone talks about what they are thankful for...it seems to be the thing to do
well last year, i was more panicky than thankful...although the thankfulness came shortly thereafter
last year on thanksgiving day, i had this weird feeling i needed to take a pregnancy test-no reason, just a feeling
so i told john i needed to shower, went into the bathroom, and peed on a stick
lo and behold it came up positive...like really quickly positive
they tell you to wait two minutes to read it, but within 30 seconds it was positive
i just stood there...we had been trying and i should have been jumping up and down, but i had no clue what to do right then
and you know how in your head you have all these cute ways to tell your husband...like becky on 'full house' did? well, they left my head at that moment
so i asked john to come to the bathroom...he was in the middle of installing our kitchen cabinets
finally i convinced him to walk into the bedroom and all i could think of to say was 'is this positive?' needless to say he just stood there and stared at me
then we were both excited
we waited about a week (john claims it was 3 weeks) to tell anyone...which was 10 times harder for john than it was for me
and now this year we are so thankful everytime we look at our little bundle of joy
i guess this year i am more thankful than i think i've ever been before! thank you God for my little sophia and all the joy she gives us day after day!
