thanksgiving

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!
