Thankful Thursday

Sorry for the dry spell. I've been working on a couple of posts, but am not ready to publish them yet. In the meantime, here is this week's list:

1. David's job. We have so many friends and family that are out of work right now and it just makes me realize what a blessing it is that David has a job. Yes, he travels too much and yes, the stress and pressure he is under is immense at times, BUT we have a steady paycheck coming in, which is less stressful than not having one at all.

2. An Angel of a baby, even if she still isn't back to sleeping through the night. She rarely fusses these days and when she does, I can usually fix it pretty easily. I picked her up from nursery today after my Bible study and they were all raving about what a doll she is. She sure is, thank you very much. See? It's not just me...

3. Special K Protein Shakes. Delicious and nutritious, these new meals-on-the-go are awesome! They are under 200 calories, have 20% of your daily protein and fiber intake, and contain crazy amount of vitamins. I can only vouch for the chocolate flavor, but it is good!

4. The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. The thing works miracles, plain and simple.

5. Breathable Bumper. You may remember that we're rebel parents and allow Audrey to sleep on her stomach. Even though she doesn't crawl yet, the kid can inch-worm her way around the crib at night. Because of this, we removed the bumper to help make sure she doesn't get her face smushed up against it and risk suffocation. However, after many nights of Audrey's limbs getting caught in between the crib slats, I went on the hunt for a product to help. I found the Breathable Bumper at a nearby baby products store (it's not yet sold at Babies' R Us.) Now, though, she is getting her arm stuck down between the mattress and the crib rail even though there is no visible gap there. My sister-in-law suggested stuffing her decorative bumper down between there to help so we'll have to try that. If it she didn't suck her fingers to soothe herself, duct tape would definitely be in order!

That's all for now! Hope you have a great rest of the week and weekend!
