It's really real...
Today was...... completely mind blowing and unbelievable. Those are the only words I can use to describe how I feel.
First, I was in a great mood going into work, not too tired (even though it was 6:30 AM), had a meeting with my boss to discuss concerns questions, etc, in which he complimented me on the job I did during the last quarter of the year. Apparently, the job I did helped boost sales...that felt good. How many jobs do you find in retail where your work is actually acknowledged? This is the first for me.
Secondly today, I had my doctor's appointment...one of the big ones. Shae and I got to hear our son or daughter's heartbeat. There are definitely no words in the english language to describe the moment the doc found the heartbeat and we could hear it beating true and strong. Thinking about it.....I don't know..... it's amazing! I'm holding a life inside of me. Someone who needs everything from me right now, who relies solely on me, who I can't wait to meet. I did not want that moment to end, but there were other patients to tend to. I can't imagine how I'll feel when I have my first ultrasound. To actually SEE what's inside. I never thought the day would ever come when I could say, "I'm going to be somebody's mother", and now here it is.....this is truly a dream come true for me.
Anyhoo, they say that good things come in 3's...well, I don't know if that's true or not, but today was definitely full of blessings. When we got home from the doctor, I decided to check the mail, even though I knew there would probably be bills that I didn't want to deal with then and there. Instead, I found in our mailbox our income tax return. We only filed maybe 3 weeks ago! I guess we really beat the rush. We can't quite go on a spending spree with it since we did use our credit cards for quite a bit of stuff and those need paid off, but it felt good to know we've got a month or 2 of no worries financially.
Well, that's been my day......biggest one since my wedding I'd have to say...and there are bigger days to come....
