grateful

this week i am thankful:

1. for not having gestational diabetes.

2. that brian's back is getting better. he's not at 100% yet, not by a long shot, but he's a lot better than he was last week, and more himself which i really like.

3. for my dad, who is eager to build us a dresser for the nursery. my dad is a very talented and skilled carpenter, just not always very reliable on the time issue, so we were a bit hesistant to rely on him for this big thing. we basically want this ikea dresser only a bit shorter and a lot more durable than the ikea one. (we actually have it already in our bedroom and love it, and it's pretty sturdy, solid wood - but it is ikea furniture, after all.) he has promised it will be delivered in 3-4 weeks, in time for the baby shower, so we'll see. and he's doing it as his gift to the baby, so it is a huge relief to not have to worry about coming up with the money for a dresser.
