Sorry its been a while since I've updated you all. I've been in quite a bit of pain from the kidney stones. They make me quite uncomfortable making it almost impossible for me to sit up and type or to remain comfortable for longer than 5 minutes. But today I've figured out how to lay down and type at the same time.
Yesterday was my birthday as most of you know. I am quite thankful for all of my family and friends that wished me a happy birthday. I'm thankful that birthdays mean so much to my family because they make the day truly feel all about you and a true celebration of your life. Even though I am in the hospital and its not ideally where I want to celebrate my birthday at least I was able to celebrate with them. I was alive to share this birthday with them. I am thankful for the 24 wonderful birthdays I have had with them.
I know I've said this before but I really am very thankful for my amazing husband and our strong little angel. Days are becoming longer for me and starting to get harder more emotional. However, my husband and daughter are my light at the end of this long tunnel. I cannot wait for the day to go home and be with my wonderful family. I keep telling Travis when I can get home I will never be letting him leave me. Travis has been so supportive thru this crazy time. He has listened to my meltdowns over simple things that normally wouldn't upset me. He will be an incredibly amazing father I'm sure of it. When some people wouldn't be able to handle situations like this he has faced it head on with me and stayed right beside me going out of his way to do anything he can to support me. He's truly my angel and the love of my life.
I'm thankful for my mom and my mother in law for all they have done to get the baby showers together for our family. I know a lot of people think that we should wait until I am released from the hospital but what I think some are forgetting is after 10 weeks of being in a hospital room I need something to look forward to, something to help pass the time and help keep my spirits up. The baby shower was planned when we thought I was coming home after 6 weeks, therefore I had already started looking forward to it. To have that taken from me at this point would be heartbreaking. We have lost so much as a family because of this accident and the poor decision of one person that we were not going to let her take anything else from us. So thank you to all that have helped plan and that are going to help pull off the two showers for us. We greatly appreciate it!
Little things I am thankful for and cannot wait to do.... Make a home cooked meals and bake anything!!! I can't wait to be able to cook a wonderful dinner for my family and bake anything I want for dessert. Something I look forward to this year thanksgiving and Christmas. Hopefully I will be able to walk by thanksgiving but I know that Charlotte will be very loved and our family will have alot to be thankful for this year. Christmas is our favorite time of year I cant wait to start decorating and seeing all the Christmas lights. Charlotte is going to have a truly amazing first Christmas! I also look forward to setting up Charlotte's room when she gets home. The closer it gets to her arrival the more excited I am about anything that involves her and Travis. I am very excited, thankful and blessed to have my amazing family!!
Until tomorrow <3 ohhh and for those of you posting the pictures of the leaves or texting me pictures of the changing leaves--- Thank you!!! I love them!!!
