The sincere "kindness" that has been offered to me throughout this pregnancy is overwhelming and I have cherished all of it. From the strangers at the grocery stores waiting just a little longer to hold the door open for me.... to the woman who reached out her hand to help me up the bleachers at a basketball game (seeing that I was unsure if I was able to make it).... to the encouraging remarks from the wait staff at restaurants about how I look at 36 weeks pregnant.... to the drivers who stop to let me cross the road during a green light on a cold day... to my step son for doing the dishes everyday and keeping the kitchen clean... to my wonderful friends and co-workers who have been extremely supportive and went above and beyond to throw me 2 baby showers that were more than I could have dreamed of... and to my loving, patient husband who has been my right hand from the beginning, just going the extra mile to make sure I am taken care of, cooking me breakfast every morning, making lunch, taking me out to mini-dates after each doctor appointment to make the pregnancy journey memorable and so much more... and this wonderful online support group that is so encouraging when you need an extra pick me up... I am so blessed and appreciative for this overwhelming wonderful experience of being pregnant... sending a 'Thank You' out to the world for the kindness, generosity, compassion and LOVE ❤️ that I have the opportunity to experience and hoping that others will have the same uplifting experience that I have had.
