IN HUMBLE APPRECIATION!!!!!!!!!

Today, this blog is dedicated to the appreciations that life brings my way currently. (and forever to that fact!). ~Yes, I am downstairs on my computer, waiting on a load of laundry~.
Wednsday night around 11:30 p.m., after all had been tucked in, I thought I would go downstairs, and finish up some stuff I'd already started doing earlier in the night. Well, I didn't quite accomplish my task at hand. INSTEAD, something else happened. This something else that happened, really really changed my perspective on 1.) this flopping little one inside me who decides to play the role of a quaterback at 4:00 a.m., for an hour to two at times might I add, daily. on 2.) Being pain free! 3.) My mind being totally at ease at the peace of knowing my unborn child is perfectly safe and healthy on the inside. 4.) What wonderful parents I have, whom at the spur of a moment will drop their whole days calendar to come LITERALLY HELP me, when so desperately needed. 5.), Truley my perspective on lots of things could continue at this point.
Wondering what the something else is yet? I can tell you what it is. I can't tell you why, or how. But....I, at nearly 35 weeks, literally fell down 11 steps from my upstairs, to my downstairs. The only thing I could think of was my baby, and that I had to block him. So, fortunatley, (but unfortunatley too), my butt took the brunt of the disaster.
My Mom, (Mom's are so good at this), drove nearly 2 hours to my house, to take me to my doctor and my Dad (their good at this too!), came to 'play' with my little N atalie. ~I had planned on my Mohter in Law keeping Natalie, while I went to see the Dr., but that didn't quite pan out. So a HUGE thanks to Dad. ~(Nathan works in a 'plant' and things have been really difficult where he works lately. I didn't think I was going to have the baby, so we agreed it would be better for him to go on into work, not risking the loss of his job, and stay informed via phone. ~saving his time off accumativley for the birth!).
After an ultrasound, seeing the baby, learning there still was enough amniotic fluids, and a very strong heartbeat, I was so at ease that he was okay!
Now for me, I am SORE! Moving very slowly! Sitting on ice 20 minutes per hour, and hoping I am better before I do have to "push" the baby out without a sore bottom!
Through Gods grace, my baby was perfectly fine. I am very okay, much more okay than I could have been. Whew!!!!!!
Thankful for:
1.That yesterday turned out so 'okay', and nothing bad (except me being really really sore) came out of it. It's is such a blessing knowing that my baby is okay, and is kicking toughly again! I missed that for a few hours early yesterday a.m..
