Small Successes and Thankful Thursday - "Day by Day" Edition

I'm still here! Just enjoying our almost 1 month old son (tomorrow he hits that milestone!) and not blogging as much because of him and getting used to our new routine (or lack of) aside from slapping pics on here every few days. But, I report we are doing well. I feel good, blues are fading, and the excitement and love just grows! He's amazing. He loves to snuggle, cuddle, and seems to know his days and nights well. Now, he still feeds ALL NIGHT, but does sleep between feedings which is SO NEW to us. I'm used to babies who don't sleep, so I'm not going to complain - he sleeps when he can! Yippee!

So, with that, and the fact I'll need to nurse him soon - here are my 3 successes for our "Small Successes" Thurs:

1. I'm learning to say "yes" to help - from friends taking my kids for me, to delivered meals, to friends folding my laundry, to my parents driving Val to camp, and my sister taking Lovely this week. I love doing for others, but why is it hard to say yes for myself? I can tell you I'm getting really good at saying yes - haha! So beware!! hehe!

2. I got my birth story completed!! I love a record of these...and also celebrated with my husband our 9th wedding anniversary....

3. I'm napping more this week while Lovely is out of town with my sister, and Val is at a summer camp in the mornings. I need to take advantage before I'm back in charge of 3 kids instead of 1. It's so nice to sleep when the baby sleeps this week (Val does camp - and is loving it from 9am-1pm, eats lunch there, then comes home and naps till 4-4:30pm!!! Can you hear the Angels sing "AHHHHHHHHH" in chorus lol).

Speaking of, I need to go get her up and ready for camp before I try and nap - but I'll end with a little thankful list...
