Me on Thanksgiving aka my 30th birthday!

It was absolutely perfect that my birthday happened to land on Thanksgiving this year. There is no word that would describe this year better than THANKFUL.

I’m thankful that our baby has made it to 35 weeks.

I’m thankful that we should get to meet her soon.

I’m thankful for the friends and family who have showered us with love over and over this year. I should’ve bought stock in hallmark thank you cards.

I’m thankful to tutu who moved down just enough this week to let me enjoy a giant Thanksgiving feast and birthday cupcakes.

I’m thankful that my family is just awesome, both sides, 100 percent.

I’m thankful for Donald, who has had quite the first 7 months of marriage. :)

I’m thankful for my job and my home and my dogs (dogs, most of the time).

I’m thankful for the other moms who have been so gracious with advice and answering my questions and offering support.

I’m thankful that week 35 was full of visits with friends and family.

♥ Just plain thankful. ♥

so many candles…it was ridiculous how long it took to blow these out!

cute decor put up by my mom :)

Pretty amazing card from my sister who, even though she’s a half a world away, managed to get this to me with a present on time!

more cute gifts to make me smile :) - Ash, thank you for letting me cry in a wendy’s and not freaking out when I almost needed EMTs to save me from choking!

Me, Meg, and Noah - thank you for coming to see us! and I’ve never been so thankful for group texts. ;)

Malia, Kara, me - I wish I could see you more! thank you for the visit. :) Malia melts me.
