Happy Thanksgiving!

So tons of people have been on FB posting what they're thankful for….. While I love love love the idea of this, I would rather post on my blog about what I'm thankful for.

Here it goes:

*I am thankful for the amazing doctors and nurses at Mass General.  MGH has just been awarded the top hospital in the nation, and the care that I have been receiving from the Maternal Fetal Medicine team is beyond amazing.  I feel as though baby Percy and myself are in the right hands.

*I am thankful for the advanced medicine and technology that hospitals are equipped with these days.

*I am thankful for my health and getting baby Percy this far in gestation.  It's hard to be on this floor and be aware of the fact that there are people that are far less fortunate in terms of their own health or the length of gestation for their babies.  All of the nurses and doctors keep reassuring me that 33-34 weeks is an ok time to have him.

*I am (or will be) thankful for the amazing staff in the NICU here at MGH.  While I obviously haven't experienced it first hand, I've heard that the NICU is amazing.

*I am thankful for our amazing family, friends, and coworkers that keep offering up love and support to us during this unexpected and scary time.  We have SO many generous people in our lives that have supported us with kind words, food, distractions, visits, etc.  I can not even stress enough how much we've appreciated everything that has been done for us.  I don't think we'll ever be able to express what it means to us.  THANK YOU and WE LOVE YOU ALL!

*Lastly, I am so incredibly thankful for my husband.  I am able to be this strong for the baby because of his love and support.  From taking care of Nyla and Jade, to sending me videos of the animals playing, to keeping me company at hotel MGH, to bringing in clothes or food in my pink Vera Bradley bag (he's gotten compliments in the elevator), he has kept my spirits high and my mood positive.  I could not do this without him.  He means the world to me and I know he's going to be an amazing daddy to baby Percy.  xoxo


I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving day today and found something that they're thankful for as well!

Happy Thanksgiving Day and GO PATRIOTS!
