Day 70: November 25 (Happy Thanksgiving!)

November 27, 2010 by melragent Leave a Comment

I know, I know… I am a day behind.  What can I say, all the turkey and pie has slowed me down.  I got to spend just a little bit of time with Sam today.  Between family visits and cooking, the day was just too filled.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  I know I had much to be thankful for this year.  To pull from my Facebook status:
I am grateful for the love and support from family and friends (old, new, and rediscovered). I am grateful for the amazing staff at Alta Bates for getting me to 24 weeks and for the care they have given Sam the last 70 days. I am grateful for my husband who made all the right decisions. I am grateful for my amazing daughter Irene who’s spirit is contagious. And I am grateful for Sam and his strength of spirit.

And here is your belated turkey-day moment of zen:
