Gratitude Sunday
Sunday's heartfelt tradition. A time to slow down, to reflect, to be grateful. A list of gratitudes:
{Inspired by the beautiful Taryn of Wooly Moss Roots}
- The realization that our animals truly do love us & one soul in particular they haven't met yet. This comes at a time where I've been innately frustrated with pet ownership and the oncoming changes in our life.
- The market in autumn - grapes, squash, pumpkins, oh my! (pictures to come!)
- Quiet times at home with just the animals and a bouncing belly - something I have learned to appreciate despite my unusual quirk of not enjoying alone time.
- A bouncing belly, of course. I often catch myself staring and smiling at my stomach multiple times a day.
- The rediscovery of yoga at such a pivotal time in my life. The instructor is simply wonderful and stresses the mind/body connection while helping moms connect with the spirit of their baby.
- Yard work completed by my hubby, b. There's nothing better than a fresh cut and cleared lawn, even in the fall!
- The colors beginning to change, just a bit more every day.
- Autumn decorations - something I just love to get out!
- The fact we're 25 weeks on Wednesday - a very important time in a babies gestation and lungs. It's surreal this barely two pound baby could have a chance of surviving if she were born this week (now baby, you stay in regardless!).
- A job that I often take for granted. Being a part of so many women's births is something I often take for granted and even find myself a bit cynical about at times when women don't plan or put importance on their birth experience. I'm learning to respect all women's birth decisions, even those I don't agree with. They are all beautiful.
- My lovely husband arriving home this afternoon. He looks rejuvenated, albeit ready for a nap.
- Getting out in nature, hiking is always so soul refreshing.
What are you grateful for this week?

- I am a RN & natural momma in the Pacific Northwest, married to a beautiful man I adore. Nature is my niche, animals get me. I read and I write, I hike and I love photography. Welcomed our daughter Hazel Annan earthside in February 2012 after three years of infertility & our second miracle daughter Juniper Louise in April 2014.

What a great photo you look lovely! So happy things are going well for you. One of the coolest things about being pregnant is that your not ever alone, even when you are....you get that little kick that says "I'm here Mama!"
