It’s been another hectic week but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t things that I’m thankful for, on the contrary.

1. I’m thankful for doctors who are on top of their profession and genuinely care and don’t make me feel silly for taking my son to see them. The staff at my son’s pediatrician’s place were very good when I visited them yesterday. They’re always kind and compassionate but I was a little apprehensive because this is the first time I’ve seen a particular doctor who works there and I was worried that she would be the “evil bitch” sort of doctor, but instead she complimented me on the way I’d been taking care of the munchkin and told me that I was doing everything right. That’s nice to here because with him being my first child I still have moments of doubt that I really don’t have a clue what I’m doing with this “Mom thing”. Even though they can’t definitively tell me what’s wrong with him I’m reassured that between us and them he’s going to be fine.

2. I’m grateful to our friends who are understanding about the fact that we have a child and will do things to help us out so that we can still socialize despite the fact we have a child and he’s sick. I’m grateful and thankful that I can trust them to be around him and to actually watch out for him while they’re over and am making food for us all or otherwise occupied. That they’re smart and kid-watchful and kid-safe and will entertain him and play with him and aren’t acting “put out” about him either.

3. Last but not least, as you might have guessed by yesterday’s post I’m extremely thankful and grateful and lucky that I’m spending the rest of my life with this man of mine.
