Giving Thanks...

With Thanksgiving just around the corner I wanted to take a minute to share what we are thankful for...

We are thankful for our amazing family and friends...
I know I tend to say this a lot, but Justin and I are blessed with the most amazing family and friends anyone could hope for. You all have been extremely supportive, helpful, giving and loving throughout this entire journey! We cannot begin to express how thankful we are for each and every one of you and all of things you've done for us and the baby! It is such a great feeling knowing that we are bringing our baby girl into a world where she is already loved soooo much!



I'm thankful for the great women in my life...
The baby and I were very spoiled these last couple of months by all of you with not one but two BEAUTIFUL showers! Both days were very special and I was touched by all of you who took the time to come and celebrate the life of our soon to be daughter. Justin and I are also very thankful for all of the gifts for baby! I must say...this girl will be dressed in style for quite some time! It was such a blast playing all of the silly games, catching up and opening all of the ADORABLE baby things! Thank you to my Mom, Kristen and the Wolf Family for the great showers!



We are thankful for mass amounts of diapers...
In addition to the two showers, Justin had a really great diaper party! Again, we were very touched by everyone who took the time to show up and support us on this journey. Justin received about two and a half months worth of diapers (at a rate of 12 diapers per day haha) and we couldn't be more thrilled! This is such a big help for us as we prepare for the little one to arrive! Thank you to Chris and Jeremy for putting this great party together!



We are thankful to be blessed with a very normal and healthy pregnancy...
I've always been fortunate enough to be very healthy and I never really thought much of it until I became pregnant. Now I thank God everyday for blessing me with such good health. It's nice to be classified as a "low risk patient" and have the doctor tell you "everything looks perfect" when you go in for the checkups. I pray that this good health will continue to the end of the pregnancy and through the delivery.




We are thankful for each other...
Justin and I are very lucky to have one another and are lucky to be on this journey together. I can't describe how good it feels to have such a loving and supportive partner there by side everyday. As we go into the final weeks, I'm thankful to have Justin there to help me with all of the everyday things I've taken for granted...like getting up off the couch and tying my shoes in the morning! :) Thanks babe!


This week we will be heading into the 37th week of our pregnancy! Baby could be here any day now and we are very excited (and a little nervous). We hope you all have a fun and safe Turkey Day...eat lots! I know we will be!
P.S. My Mom took all of the great pictures you see above! What a natural! Thanks Mom!
Love Always,
Justin & Candice

  2. Thanks for sharing your thankfulness. Having a child really does change your perspective on life doesn't it? It is a amazing how God uses these little lives to shape ours even more. Can't wait to meet "Chubby Cheeks".
