December Daily Gratitude #21: I am so thankful for sleep. You never really understand how little sleep you’ll be getting as a parent until you experience it yourself. I remember being able to function so well in high school and college running on a few hours of sleep. Even pulling all-nighters all the time was …
December Daily Gratitude #20:My pregnancy with Eleanor was pretty easy, not too much morning sickness, but I did have gestational diabetes and my amniotic fluids were low. And especially because I’m a carrier for SMA and CF, I was very worried about Ellie all the time. This pregnancy however, I am so grateful that I …
December Daily Gratitude #19:I’m pretty sure I’ve already said this, but I am soooo grateful for my mother-in-law. The love and attention she gives Eleanor is the most wonderful thing to see.

December Daily Gratitude #18:Today I’m very grateful for the friends who came over for dinner tonight.

This turned out great for me because 1) I definitely …
December Daily Gratitude #15: Today I am grateful for days of rest. I haven’t been feeling well the past few days. I’m not sure if it was something I ate, or if this is just another phase in my pregnancy. In any case I definitely need some rest and I am thankful that my husband, …
December Daily Gratitude #14:I am so thankful that baby number two is healthy and growing well. Today I had an ultrasound and there were no signs of SMA or CF or any other reasons for concern. However, I have over-exerted myself and I can barely keep my eyes open. Everything hurts and I hope I …
