February's Ten Things

In a month where morning sickness has seemed to be the overarching theme, it's good to take a few minutes and think about what has made me smile this month.  In reality, I've had a much better time with it than I had anticipated and the month has gone surprisingly fast.  And in a few more weeks, I should feel good as new!  Here are my:

1.  We celebrated Todd's birthday.  Which was most fun because of how excited it makes the kids whenever it is anyone's birthday. 
2.  Valentine's Day was especially nice.  Not only the yummy chocolate and fun decorations, but we told the kids the news and they responded with more enthusiasm than I could have ever hoped for!
3.  Madeline did a fabulous artistic rendition of me with a big tummy and then me with the baby.  If I manage, I'll get it posted here soon.
4.  Naps!  At this point, I might not be able to smile without them.
5.  I have such wonderful friends who have taken my kids and also just spent time with me.
6.  My flowers from Valentine's Day are still blooming on my kitchen counter!
7.  My kids were THRILLED to have at least one day this year to play in snow.
8.  Family parties always make me smile. 
9.  Visiting Teaching!  This always makes me smile.  I love making connections and friendships with women I wouldn't have otherwise.
10.  I woke up feeling better today than yesterday, which was unexpected and wonderful.
