Pregnancy Thoughts

As we prepare to go into the hospital tomorrow for the induction of our 4th little one, many thoughts are swirling in my head. I am excited, of course, but it is always bittersweet to see one of life's chapters come to an end. This is the end of me being a mother of three, and the beginning of me being a mother of four. The funny thing is, that I always feel this way, and as soon as I walk through my door with my new little one, I can't imagine life without them. But for today, I can't imagine life with my unknown new friend.

I LOVE being pregnant. I really enjoy everything about it. I don't mind the little hiccups, they secede. I am so thankful that I've had this opportunity to carry this little one. I hope to have a few more!!!;)

There is so much to be grateful for. I am grateful that my kids are excited about their new sibling. I am grateful to have had four healthy pregnancies. I am grateful that I have the opportunity in this life to be a mother and to be a wife. I am grateful for a husband that pitches in and helps. (Especially his delicious cooking!!!) I am grateful for the health of my children. I am grateful for my health and for Jason's health. I am grateful for friends that uplift me. I am grateful for friends and neighbors that have helped so much with babysitting. I am grateful for a roof over my head. I am grateful for food to eat. I am grateful for TWO VEHICLES! I am grateful for furniture, because I have lived without it. I am grateful for health care. I am grateful for Jason's job. (SUCH A BLESSING!!!) I am grateful for my good doctor. I am grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am grateful for my children. I am grateful for my mother and father. I am grateful for my grandparents and their legacy. I am grateful for my sister's and their examples. I am grateful for LSU. (Just seeing if you were paying attention, but really I am grateful for LSU.) I am grateful for my education. I am grateful for my talents. I am grateful for the opportunities I have to serve my fellowmen and my Savior.

"Count your many blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord hath done."

I could go on forever, I am very grateful for the countless things that I have been given in my life and for the many blessings that are to follow. Thank you to all of you for your support and love during this wonderful pregnancy. I love you all. Wish me luck tomorrow!!!
