Count them one by one...

Although I haven't been blogging in the past few days... I haven't stopped counting my blessings. They are more numerous than ever these days - filled with people who give selflessly and snuggle up along side me on this journey called "life." Whether it be a phone call or message from a neighbor, a family member who pours themselves out in an offering of love, or a friend who breaks bread with us and uplifts my spirits. The blessings are everywhere.

Little Man and Big Sis are doing well. They pick on each other like brother and sister always do, but they truly love one another with kisses and tickles. What would life be like without these two? And now a third little Lee will join the clan. Oh we can't wait to meet him or her.

We have chosen to continue with the mystery of not finding out the gender of the baby until Birth-day. This always is an exciting time as we ponder and speculate about this little one. I've been nauseous continually throughout the day depending on what I've eaten or not eaten, but it continues to be manageable. I've decided to crack open the 4 totes of maternity clothes my sister has lent me. Why wait?!? The clothes are more comfy and that's all that matters to me now.

Here's my 1000 gift list continued:
