November is such a special month. I have always loved it because of Thanksgiving, holiday decorations and music, and the cold boot wearing weather. But this year the month of November has a totally new meaning to it. It is the month that Chip and I exchanged our vowels. It was the last month of just the two of us and anxiously awaiting the arrival of our Sweet P. Which brings me to the first thing I'm thankful for.
I am thankful for Plano, TX. Plano will always be such a special city to me, because that is where we had our first home. A 1200 sq ft apartment on the 4th floor, Apt 8422. It is where all my nesting happened in preparation for Preston. It's where we brought Preston home from the hospital. It's where we spent the first night as husband and wife. It truly was our first "home". Last November, while I was 9 months pregnant, Chip and I would make pallets on the living room floor and watch movies almost every night. We made countless ice cream visits to Stone Cold Creamery that was conveniently across the street. We would sit in Preston's room for hours dreaming of what our son would be like, what his personality would be. We were so excited. I will always have a soft spot for that city, because it's where 3 individuals became a family.
Day 2
Today I am thankful for my Preston's health. In his first year of life he has defeated Plagio, had one cold, and one 24 hour stomach bug. I am so grateful he is so healthy. I hear stories all the time of babies being sick so much their first year, and I thank God everyday for allowing Preston to not have to go through that. He just finished his first month of MDO and I am sure he will be coming home with bugs and colds all the time, but this first year has been a breeze so far :)
