Thankful Thursday

Yeah, I know I haven't done this in a long time, or posted anything, but it is mostly because I have been so sick I could barely move (which makes it extremely difficult to care for 2 small children). So I am online right now so I thought, what the heck?

1. Relief Society - My Relief Society presidency came over the other day and cleaned my house. They even got down on their hands and knees and scrubbed the floors. It was so nice to enjoy a clean house for a couple hours (before Hailey ran around and messed everything up). I am so thankful to have the Relief Society, it's a wonderful organization, truly inspired.
2. Some much needed help - Another thing my R.S. president did for me was found me someone who can come help keeps things cleaned up a couple times a week. She hasn't started yet (Monday, yippee!) but I am really excited and feel better about the whole situation already.
3. Visitors - My mom and sister Marianne have both planned trips to come visit and help out at the end of this month and beginning of next month. Yay!! My sister Amy and her family are stopping through next week too. I am just glad to have some things to look forward to and help the time pass by a little faster.
4. It's ultrasound day! - We will hopefully find out what kind of babies we are having today! I am really really excited and I hope we will be able to tell. I always said I didn't want to find out with my third one but that went out the window when I found out I was having twins. I'm also just glad we will get to see the babies and make sure they are ok despite their poor sick mother.
5. Adam taking care of all of us - Adam has been working a ridiculous amount of hours lately, but when I really really need him, he finds a way to come through for me. Yesterday I really thought I was going to die or at least have to go to the hospital so he came home and took over so I could spend the rest of the day in bed. I know it probably makes work a lot harder for him when he has to drop everything and run home, but I sure appreciate it.
6. Panera Bread - It's a restaurant/bakery kind of place. I sent Adam there yesterday to get me soup, a bagel, and muffins. Interestingly enough, they sell exactly everything I was craving yesterday and it was the first food I was able to hold down in 24 hours.
7. Hailey, napping champion of the world - I really don't know how I would survive if Hailey decided she didn't want to take naps anymore. She usually sleeps for 2 to 3 1/2 hours every afternoon. It requires absolutely no effort at all to put her down, I just put her in her crib and walk out. Most people who are over when I put her down say it's pretty amazing, and I agree.

Well, that's all I have for today. Sorry I never post anything anymore, I'm sure you all can understand though. Until next time....

I'm so glad you're getting some help and some company. I've been meaning to call you for over a week. I hope you get to find out the genders today!!!

I am sorry to hear that you are still sick, but I am glad you are getting some help from the Relief Society and that your family is coming to visit you.
