Thanks!

Today I woke up feeling very thankful for all the support that I have in my life. It wouldn't be possible for me to go to school, work, be pregnant, and raise a toddler without my husband, my family, my co-workers, and my friends.

My work was so good to me by allowing me to go down to part-time in the fall when I started school and then they were so sweet and threw me a diaper shower a couple weeks ago.  

David rushes home from work every day to get dinner ready so that I can scarf down some food in the 30 minutes that I have between work and school. He also cleans the house and makes sure that Cooper gets fed, bathed and off to bed before he starts chipping away at his mounds of student homework to grade and lesson plans to create. I don't know how he does it all.

My parents and David's Mom are constantly watching Cooper for us when David has trainings in the evenings. We know we can count of them anytime and it's so nice for Cooper to have such great Grandparents. 

Going to school every night is a drag, but I love my classmates and they make school enjoyable. We are all pretty close already and I know that we will become a tight-knit little family over the next 2 years. I was really surprised and grateful when they threw me a surprise baby shower last night. So sweet!

David's Dad allows us to live in our house for free, which is giving us the financial freedom that we are so lucky to have and it is allowing me to stay at home with my kids for a couple years. I'm so excited to be a stay-at-home Mommy! 

I heard that a lot of friends tend to disappear when you have kids because they are at a different stage in their life then you are and there's not much in common anymore. I am fortunate to have some awesome friends because they are all still here and our friendships have only grown stronger. I might be the only one that shows up to dinner with toddler toys in my purse and baby spit up on my shoulder, but I still fit right in with my girls and I love them all.   

I don't know what I would do without all of these amazing people in my life and I probably don't thank them enough. I know I am leaving people out and I'm sorry for that. This would turn into a good sized novel if I tried to include everyone that means something to me. If you are reading this, I hope you know that I am grateful to have you in my life and I want to thank you for everything you do for me.   

Baby Update:

We are scheduled to be induced super late on Sunday night, so we should be having a baby on Monday, February 14th. A Valentine's Day Baby - So Sweet!
