GrEIGHTful!

I know it's already Wednesday!! This week is going by really fast, but I did want to get my GrEightful list up before next week, so I don't have to play catch up again!! :o)

This week I am grateful for:

1.) The fact that I survived my first LONG week at work!! It was hard and I am exhausted!

2.) That we all slept in on Saturday! I was worried that Zech would wake up at 6:30, but we all must have been tired and slept in until 8:30! Those extra two hours were marvelous!

3.) That we made it through the first trimester with no complications!! It has been a LONG, exhausting first trimester and I thought it would never end, but it is getting better already!

4.) Lunch and shopping with the Nenasheffs!

5.) A chance to meet some of John's friends from High School (who live in Alberta now). It is amazing how many people John has re-connected with on facebook (and I as well). This weekend though, we had the chance to meet up with some friends that he has not seen in about 20 years. It was really great and I was so amazed at how they were able to just pick up right where the left off and get into some really deep, encouraging conversations. We look forward to seeing them again!

6.) My sister and brother-in-law and the wonderful supper they came over and made for us! Plus we got to babysit Jonas while they went to the movie. It was nice to have some alone Aunty and Uncle time with him, but he really missed his parents and wasn't too keen on going to sleep! He is a real cutie though--even when he is upset!!! :o)

7.) My beautiful little boy! He is amazing and we are so blessed to have him in our lives. Plus, he is the best darn veggie and fruit eater I have ever seen! This kid thinks that raw broccoli and cauliflower is a treat!!

8.) Photoshop! I wish I could take perfect pictures all the time that never require any editting, but I am far from being that good--yet! ;o) I love Photoshop and don't know what I would do without it. So here are some of the pictures that I took of Zechy after I editted them!

Tough going through your first trimester while getting ready to move, moving, waiting for work, and then working full time. Hopefully you will have a steady run now! I'm enjoying sleep like never before, and sleep in almost every day until 9 or so. Can't believe it! It is such a luxury!!

I'm so glad Zech slept in for you guys - isn't it a treat when they do?! You already know this but just a friendly reminder to sleep as much as you can before that little one comes!!! Silas is still up every 2-3 hours nursing.
I'm glad you made it through your first week!
And I LOVE those photos of Zech! Too cute!
