I'm sitting in my house and listening to the 50 mile an hour winds blowing around me and it's really freaking me out! Western Washington has a lot of big old trees all over. I love big, mature trees, but not when the wind is plowing into them! I hope they are all still standing tomorrow morning, when I wake up, and that my house remains unscathed!
Anyway, today was a crummy day so I decided I'd better take my own advice, that I give to my oldest child all the time, to count your blessings...
* I am thankful that Super Saturday is almost here and that I will be done with all this planning and preparing.
* I am thankful that the PTA Reflections contest entries will be judged soon and I can get them to district and out of my office.
* I am thankful that my son's socks absorbed most of the urine that he unleased today while standing in the long line at the craft store.
* I am thankful that I only have to make 104 invitations for the Relief Society Christmas dinner; some of you come from big wards, sorry!
* I am thankful that I am a pretty heavy sleeper and will probably sleep through these insane wind gusts. (The trick will be GETTING to sleep, though).
* I am thankful that I have the freedom to change my mind and cave on subjects like finding out a baby's gender.
* I am thankful that our baby is a very healthy little person--even if it's a he and not a she. (I miss baby girl stuff!!!)
* I am thankful for wonderful friends like you who took the time to read what's on my mind...just because!

I'm so excited to hear you are having a boy. I totally get your desire to do the little girl thing again, girl stuff is a lot of fun and I sort of longed for it a little bit when I was pregnant with Austin too, but can I just say that I have LOVED having a little boy. I'm loving all the orange and blue and brown stuff out there and I don't know about you, but my baby boys are way more cuddly than my girls. just sayin.
Congrats!
I'M grateful that I finally got on your blog and found out your big news!! Congratulations! Boys are the best!!!! (but I TOTALLY hear you on the girl thing). I glad you don't get sick... I DON'T hate you (but maybe cuz I have them pretty good myself)
I love the urine absorbed socks, LOL! We had a similar instance at the doctors office, only he peed IN my purse! You are an amazing woman!
And funny that you caved and found out what you're having. I know some people can do that, but I HAVE to know. The suspense would literally KILL me as a pregnant woman! :)
Good luck with all you have to do. You really do DO IT ALL. It's amazing.
What a positive point in that long line bit. Poor guy.
I am excited for you little boy, another friend for Mason!
