Thankful Thursday- Week 3

I hope everyone is having a happy Thanksgiving!

It was no Hurricane Sandy but we've been having some crazy wind/rain this week.

I'll update you all on this next week.

Stole this from the Scotch Brite facebook!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

We have a very busy day tomorrow! We go to my grandparents house around noon, where all my dads family is (and never get to eat there because the food is never done when it's supposed to be). Leave there around 3 to go to Adam's parents house. I'd love to host it at my house sometime so everyone can come to our house instead of us driving so much! Thanksgiving and Christmas are the two holidays that I feel we HAVE to spend time with both families.

How do you spend your holiday? What is your favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner?

What's on my mind.. And my heart..

I thought it'd be fun to link up with my sweet friend Kera over at Nugget on a Budget for her "on my mind" link up!

Right now what's on my mind is my son and his weight gain. He's had a rough start and hasn't been gaining weight like he's supposed to so we've been having to go back to the doctor every two weeks for weight checks. We also met with a lactation consultant last week and he had gained over an ounce a day in that week which is amazing! We also have an appointment with the doctor today to check him again and I'm praying that he's continued on that path and that last week wasn't just a fluke. 

Smiling and talking to the wall..

And what's on my heart.. Sibling love and their relationship. Lyla loves her little brother so much and I'm pretty sure by the big smiles he gets when she's around that he loves her too. But will it always be like this? Will they always have such an unconditional love for each other? I'm hoping by having a 4 year age gap that she'll always kind of be more "mature" and never  rarely have that annoyance of him that older siblings sometimes have. My sister and I are only about 2 years apart and until high school we did everything together. In high school is when our relationship wasn't the greatest but it got better and now I consider her one of my best friends. I just really hope that they're always close and always there for each other.

I laid him on the bed to go to the bathroom and came back to this.. And she said "Look mommy, we're best friends" And then my heart exploded!

What's on your heart and mind?

Linking up with..
