Today I’m grateful for:

1. Eggs! Hubby stopped at the store on his way home this morning and picked up a carton of eggs, bread, and chocolate milk. But I was passed out in bed and was not getting up for anything. So he just showered and came to bed, too. We did end up eating, though! Sunny-side up. I love dippy toast eggs :)

2. Sports bras. I think my boobs have grown since I was pregnant. They sure look and feel bigger, and my regular underwire bra seems too tight. Ruh-roh. I guess my $12,000 breast reduction six years ago was a little premature…

3. Aveeno Baby Moisture Cream. Our pediatrician recommended it for the dry skin on Piper’s face—it works wonders! She now has a smooth, creamy complexion. No more reddish rash on her forehead. The lotion isn’t greasy and doesn’t irritate her.

4. Extra diapers and wipes. We have enough diapers to last two weeks and eight wipes refills. It makes me feel better when I know Piper has what she needs.

5. A messy house. Now, usually I can’t stand when things are out of place. But today I’m grateful for the cold coffee still in the pot, and the socks on the living room floor. Because today I ignored the house completely and just played with my baby. She was awake for a good three or four hours during the day; there’s no way I’m putting her down to clean. We read lots of books today, and worked on headbanging, cooing, smiling and eye tracking. I felt like a good mommy today. Quality time with her makes me feel like I’m making a difference.
