...because even though it's not Canadian Thanksgiving, I have so much to be thankful for today!
- Abigail slept during the day today. Saying that does NOTHING to convey how amazing this is! I finally gave in and tried swaddling her and putting her down in her bassinet for a nap, and she slept for 2 HOURS. I crocheted and played hard with Elijah, and feel like a new woman. Then (yes, it gets better!) when Elijah went down for his nap, she slept for another 1.5 hours!
- today I would officially classify my PP bleeding as spotting...FINALLY! I am so sick of wearing pads, but my bleeding keeps tapering off and then picking back up. Yesterday was pretty much spotting, but today definitely is. At 6 weeks 5 days post-partum. I'm thinking of throwing a party, I'm so happy!
- I'm wearing my third pair of pants today. I'm not exactly thankful that I got pooped on by Elijah, or puked all over by Abigail, but I'm thankful for them, and it's kind of funny when you think about it. Oh, and may I just say, I need to NOT sit there and enjoy a random smile from Abigail when she's nursing? Because it always means she's about to puke, and I always forget that and just sit there enjoying the smile until she projectile vomits down my clothes. But seriously, it's the cutest smile that it makes me forget all else! And for THAT I am thankful. Not the puke so much, but the smile before it.
- today is one month until we celebrate Christmas. Enough said.
(and I meant to add more, but didn't, so I'm dating this post with yesterday's date. I might have more to add by tonight (Friday the 25th) but I'm not sure, as I'm going to the temple tonight with Matt, so I might be sleepy by the time we get home. :D
