The day before Thanksgiving last year IM's doorbell rang and she learned that she was going to become a mother again.
Never did I think that 1 year could have so many things happen that would change the course of my life.
I stuffed the turkey this morning and then went outside to watch the sunrise. I found myself crying.
I am so incredibly blessed to be the mother to my amazing and healthy children.
I am blessed and fortunate to have my mom as one of my best friends.
I am so beyond grateful that I have such a close group of girlfriends that have been my rock this past year.
My mother, cousins, and girlfriends hold me when I cry; laugh with me when I laugh; and sit with me when I just need someone to be close to without talking. I could never repay these women for being so unbelievably amazing.
I am thankful that I have a friend to have fun with because I like having an escape every so often to keep me smiling.
And I am thankful that my sister and I are working on our relationship and can be aunts to each other's children.
I am thankful that I get to raise my kids in Nana's house.
Even after all that has happened in this year, I am finding myself so thankful that I gave birth to Frog & Turtle. Without this experience I would not know my strength.
I am thankful that my body had faith in my heart's desire to grow 2 big boys and keep all 3 of us healthy.
I am thankful that IF, IM, their son, and their whole family will have Frog & Turtle in their lives.
And I am thankful that I made it out alive because I know that this experience will give me the ability to become an amazing midwife. I am thankful for the midwives that trust me and that they have always helped me and will continue to help me as I become a midwife.
I am thankful that I was able to go on my 'new me tour'. I will never be the same after everything that has happened... but I am better because of everything that has happened and for that I am thankful.
These are a few of the many blessings that I am thankful for this year.
