So Much Better

Hey you. Well, I wanted to let you know that your mommy is doing much better today than yesterday. I asked people to pray for me and I am sure that did indeed happen. Because today I am 150% better.

It is humbling to ask for help, Carter. But I think there is more freedom and you can find more strength if you do ask than if you try to trudge through life alone. There was one thing that one of your friends' mommies wrote to me that completely changed my outlook yesterday and I'm thinking about it even today. She said to me:

Don't let worry be the thing you remember about this pregnancy.

How wise is that? It is so true. I don't want to look back at this pregnancy 20 years from now and think, boy I was sure a mess because of worry the entire time. So, I am choosing once again (it's definitely a recurring choice for me, almost daily at times) to be grateful for every day with your little brother/sister inside of me.

There really is so much in life to be grateful for each and every day. Let's see...today I am thankful for:
Sunshine
God
Family
Friends
Prayers
Peace
A stable job
Good health

The list could go on and on.

I am truly grateful though. Truly, TRULY grateful for the love that is evident in my life on a daily basis. Thank you for being a part of those things I am so grateful for, Carter. You are one of my greatest blessings! I love you!
