Thankful, thankful\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>I have not only a wonderful mother who is coming this week to take care of me (August and T-Rexy too) but also a generous, kind mother-in law who has scheduled her trip out here for a few weeks from now. I may be far from family, but they continue to serve me and make themselves part of our lives. So grateful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Yesterday, in the car, August said, \u201cYour new haircut is beautiful, Mommy!\u201d I don\u2019t have a new haircut. But I still felt pretty great about myself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Have I mentioned lately how grateful I am for a washer and dryer? Yesterday, when August peed his pants for the 18<sup>th<\/sup> time in the past month, I marched those wet clothes straight to the washer. And I thanked Jesus. Because. Seriously.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>I am definitely a whiny face to my husband, even if I\u2019m not complaining about end of pregnancy discomfort (at least not complaining that much) to the rest of the world. But he still loves me. And he still makes me food. Lots of food.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A friend asked me yesterday if August and I were going to do anything special\u2014just he two of us\u2014before the baby comes. Honestly, I hadn\u2019t even thought about it. I\u2019ve thought a lot about how this will affect August. I\u2019ve thought about how August and Chris should have some special time together. But I\u2019ve never considered that he and I could use a special date. I\u2019m just grateful to be reminded that a precious part of my life is ending soon. (It\u2019s good to have a reason to be grateful even if I wish the baby would just show up already.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Last night after Chris read August a story from his Jesus Storybook Bible while he (August, not Chris) went potty, my little boy shouted, \u201cI need some more Jesus, please!\u201d Yes, you do. Me too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I\u2019m praying (and am thankful) for more Jesus this week especially.
