Making up for a skipped day

Sorry to all that read daily that I missed last night I was in some pretty bad pain and not really able to tolerate sitting up. 

Today I'm thankful for my health.  Although I may be lying in a hospital bed at least I've remained remotely healthy other than the kidney stones and liver stuff.  But my body is overall healthy for our daughter.  I realize that I could be far worse off than just a few bumps here and there.  And those bumps really are tiny bumps that could be so much worse but  I have been so blessed that they are bumps that we have been able to get figured out and I'm recovering so much better now.  If it weren't for my leg being bummed up I would be home but thats something I have come to accept.  I mean honestly if I was home there would be no way for me to see my daughter or hear her heart beat as often as we do.  And as i was reminded a few weeks ago our little girl will be a celebrity I mean how many babies do we know get their pictures taken weekly for 10 weeks?!? I love every picture and cherish each and every one of them.

Secondly I'm thankful for toes.  Sounds funny I know!! Trust me But the ultrasound today showed little miss Charlotte sucking on her toes.  It made me giggle I never thought I would be so excited to see those little toes right to her mouth and her sucking on them. She looks so content just having her toes, not a single care in the world.  Not only am I thankful for her toes but for mine.  Our niece used to come and paint them over the summer when her schedule wasnt so crazy and deffinatly I appreciated it.  It made me feel like a real human being some days.  They are still the pretty pink she painted them last.  But now shes back to school with a crazy busy schedule so the pink will stay until she gets a chance to repaint them but until then it reminds me of her.  And every time a doctor comments on them I smile because I know someone very special painted them just for me. 

Simple things to be thankful for hair cuts is the first on my list.  The last hair cut I had was the day of the accident and thank goodness I got it cut that night.  I think if it was any longer than it was that night my parents would have a more difficult time washing it for me. So as soon as I'm able to I will be going to get a haircut and having a full "beauty" day to get myself back to looking somewhat normal.  Second thing I am thankful for laughter its the best medicine.  Although I've had some very emotional days I always remember laughter is the best medicine and whenever I have the chance to laugh I do especially the days I have company to laugh with especially days like today when my family comes to visit.   So share a funny story or a joke or two because you never know who you could be helping with that laughter.  

Have a wonderful evening <3
