Happy and Content

I'm sitting in my living room this afternoon with the blinds open so the sunshine can come in. I love being able to turn off all the lights in the house and open the windows while I go about my normal day. It makes me happy and reminds me that it is now Spring. (Well, officially Spring starts on Sunday, but it's close enough!)

Lately, there have been a lot of things going through my mind. I've been trying to make preparations for the arrival of my little boy, Asher. With less than 4 weeks till the due date I'm starting to get that, "there has to be something I'm forgetting to do" feeling. I've also been dealing with pretty much the only bad symptom I've experienced all through this pregnancy, sciatica. That term sounds worse than it is, but basically, it's a pinched nerve in my lower back that hurts quite often. I definitely don't want to complain since everything else is still going great and easily.

Even with these minor worries, anxieties and pains, when I sit down and think about my life, or feel Asher kicking away happily (or maybe crowdidly!), or hang out with Dallas, I am just happy and content. Life isn't perfect, it won't ever be perfect in the literal sense of the word, but it is wonderful!

Thank You, God, for being so good to me and my little family, for an easy pregnancy (and delivery hopefully), and for all the wonderful people You have placed in my life!
Thank you, Dallas, for being supportive, reminding me to have fun, and just being so good to me in general (You're pretty good looking, too, but I guess the thanks for that goes to God!)
Thank you, Ranger, for being a good snuggle dog, making me laugh, and reminding me that I could use some work on my patience!
Thank you, Asher, for letting me sleep every night so far and already being so cute and lovable!
Thank you, family, for calling and asking how I'm doing, worrying about me, praying for me, and telling me I'm a cute pregnant woman.
Thank you, friends, for being excited with me, listening to me talk non-stop about my pregnancy and Asher, and offering help when I need it!
