hear the army

happy thanksgiving to ya!

nevermind the moutwatering cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie for breakfast tomorrow – i love this holiday cause it gives me another great reason to remember how f-in lucky i am. hate to brag and all but, well, that’s pretty darn lucky. eat your hearts out:

1. i have an amazing baby (who’s pretty darn cute to boot) who i get to watch grow every day



2. i have a wonderful, loving, supportive husband who is also a bang-up dad to our child
3. i have my health – and in the few days that i don’t have it during the year (like the beginning of this week) i really realize how awesome it is
4. i have a loving and supportive family
5. i have tons of amazing friends all over the globe (too bad more aren’t in my neighborhood) that always inspire and support me
6. i have a fantastic apartment with all that i need and more in a peaceful part of the world
7. every time someone asks me what i want for my birthday i am usually at a loss because i generally don’t want for a thing
   (and now to the recent nitty gritty)
8. my mom visited me this year
9. i had the pleasure of seeing my mom’s wedding (and my relatives in RI) this year!
10. i had an awesome doctor that made sure my baby got out safely before disaster could strike
11. i had a fairly easy pregnancy
12. so many family & friends (here and abroad) shared the joy of our birth by showering us with so much generosity we were blown away and are indebted for life
13. the staff at my clinic are fantastic and supportive – they made the birth experience so much easier
14. obama won the election
15. my city has a diaper service
16. haagen dazs created “cafe moca” flavor
17. i have HD TV and discovered Medium and House, MD so have something to do other than studying japanese while nursing (and can FF thru commercials)

i could go on like that forever but i suppose the things that help me pass the time are probably not so interesting to you…anyway – i’m thankful YOU are reading my blog and sharing my life! hope you have tons to be thankful for too!!

big love,

heather
