Thanksgiving

I am so very thankful for all that I have this Thanksgiving.  I have an amazing husband who loves me more than I probably know and I love him more than he probably knows.  We have a wonderful and glorious gift from God on her way and she couldn't be more perfect and healthy right now (10 weeks to go!)  We have a nice warm home, jobs, food, and many seemingly insignificant blessings that many are without this time of year.  We have an amazing family that has been by our side through probably the hardest year of our lives and we couldn't be more grateful.  It is easy to get bogged down in the tragedies of this past year and it can be really hard to find things for which to be thankful. 

I think for us it is easier to find things to be thankful for because we lost what could have been a terrific little man and with the grace of God we have been blessed to have another child within this same year as the tragedy that shook our world almost 10 months ago.  God is so amazing and has given Aaron and I the opportunity once again to be parents. 

We had an ultrasound today and Layla is a very chubby, healthy looking young lady!!  We can't wait to meet her, but she has a little more growing left to do!  We couldn't be more blessed this holiday season to have her on her way and add her to our family that has been through the ringer this past year!

Happy Thanksgiving All!
