October's Ten Things

Some months are easier than others to find ten things to smile about.  But when you really stop and think, there are always way more than ten.  I've been blessed so much this month, I should probably have a hard time not smiling.

Here are my ten things to smile about in October.

1.  I'm not sure if I'm smiling that I'm still pregnant but I'm definitely smiling that I don't have a baby in the NICU right now! That makes still being pregnant so worth it.  I'm so grateful for how blessed I've been in this pregnancy.

2.  The end is in sight!  In a few weeks (or less!) I'll have a new baby.  And FOUR kids!!!!!  Saying I'm excited would be an understatement.

3.  This month, I've had over 20 women help my family.  Playing with Cooper, watching all my children, doing laundry, washing dishes, cleaning bathrooms, bringing dinner, visiting with me and every random cleaning job and errand you can think of.  That doesn't even count what my mom and sister have done.  Or how amazing Todd is at doing all my jobs and his. Um yeah, people are nice.  And some things can never be repaid.

4.  8 weeks of bed rest and I'm still alive! 8 weeks people!  And last night I finished my 17th crochet project (none of which are doilies, honey!) :)...wow, I have a lot of time in my hands.  Some are gifts and have to stay secret for now.  But here are a couple cute little sea creatures I made:

5.  This picture makes me smile.  I feel slightly bad since she was honestly put out about something, but for some reason I really love it!  Rockin the pout:

6.  Watching my kids play makes me smile, even if they're loud...

7.  Celebrating my mom's birthday

8.  General Conference has made me smile many times.  I rewatch parts every Sunday while my family goes to church.  It came at a good time for me.  

9.  Todd.  Todd makes me smile.  I love him.

10.  Seeing my family dressed up for Halloween!  Such fun costumes!  And Cooper looks so cute!  My neighbor is already planning to take pictures with my phone for me tomorrow so I can post them.
