Day Three: My Husband

November 3, 2015

Oh, what can I possibly say about this amazing man? I don't even know where to begin.

He is amazing. He is loving and kind and compassionate. He is true and real and sincere. If you needed an example of someone that was truly good, I would show you my husband.

Even with all my gushing, he does have his flaws. And that is one of the many things I love about him. He isn't perfect and he doesn't try to be. But he is perfect for me and he does everything in his power to constantly remind me of that. He balances me so well that it is insane. He is light where I am dark. He is logic where I am emotion. He's math when I am writing. He is strong where I am weak.

If you can't tell, I am absolutely madly, insanely in love with this man. I am crazy about him and , even though he drives me crazy sometimes, I can't get enough of him.

Day Two: My Daughter

November 2, 2015

My beautiful daughter. I am so insanely thankful for her and I hope to spend the rest of her life showing her just how much.

My husband and I tried for so long to get pregnant and when it finally happened, it ended in heartbreak. Our first turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy and it had to  be terminated very early in the first trimester. We were extremely hurt by this. We were told that most women who continue to try will successfully conceive within the a year after an ectopic pregnancy.  This didn't happen for us and the longer it took, the more worried we became.

We wanted a little one so badly and we were so ecstatic when we found out that I was pregnant again. From the moment she was conceived, my dear Bella came with her own mountain of health concerns and did not make for an easy pregnancy.

We ended up being admitted into the hospital, going for weekly visits to Maternal Fetal Medicine, had to deal with severly low fluid and dehydration, gestational diabetes, complete bilateral cleft lip and palate, placenta previa, severe sickness, countless medicines, vitamins and needles and the list just goes on.

But this little girl was worth every single tear and every single moment of my dramatic pregnancy. She's two now and I love her more than anything in existence. I cannot wait to watch her grow and to find out what her future holds.

Day One: My Life

November 1, 2015

I know that listing "my life" may seem sort of average or typical. It may even come off as selfish since I'm listing myself and my life as the number one thing that I'm thankful for. Above everyone and everything else on my list. But I won't apologize for that.  I think, too often, we get so caught up in everything and everyone around us that we forget about ourselves. Sometimes I need to be my main priority and that's okay.

Without my life and my health, I would not be able to experience the love and the joy that comes with having a family and friends. So I'm thankful for my life, my health, and the story that I have been given.
