12th Day of Christmas

Pin It Now!

For a little boy who squeeks when he sleeps, shoots things out of his body at warp speed, and loves to be snuggled, who is growing so fast some clothes he’ll just wear once if we’re lucky. 

And we are lucky - so lucky - to have been blessed with this big beautiful boy (11lbs11oz at his 4 week apt!).  This Christmas is going to be one for the books -- and you know what?  I did get Toblerone shortbreads afterall this year (my mom made them for me!) and I low and behold I did wrap my gifts with pretty bags and matching ribbon. 

This concludes my 12 days of Christmas Thankful postings -- I'm esp. thankful for automatic postings as many of these were done in the Christmas miracle few snippets I have had here and there vs. doing one per day.

This will be my last post for a while as we are off to enjoy the Holiday - Merry Christmas to all!

Thankful for family that has been there in spades to support me.  Who will come over and hold the baby while I shower/sleep/catch my breath.  For the waiting room FULL of family after he was born.  When I got wheeled from the delivery area to the recovery area the nurses warned me that there was “A LOT of people out there” – and there was – they were all there, it was great.

8th day of Christmas

Pin It Now!

For a husband who is learning how to be a parent the same way I am.  That he is trying to work less and be present more.  I know it is so hard for him but I can see that he is trying and that really matters a lot.  That he put J down in his crib by himself for a nap, took him while I have a nap or run to get groceries.  That they are getting to know eachother.

Thankful for our neighbours who when I got home from the hospital had delivered a bit beautiful boquet of blue mums.  For me – the new mom and who we can gather with as families to celebrate Christmas together.

For “aunties” that are technically friends but whose ties are stronger than blood.  Jonah will always know these ladies to be his aunties – we may not be related by blood but we are family.
