plan/ not to plan

If you don't already know this by now but I'm a planner and i like things to be done in advance my way :) !!! Well as you also may know that baby's change that......There are a few things that I'm very thankful for before this baby boy comes......

1.) I'm thankful for friends who have been through this before and can share their knowledge and what they will do or wont do again!!!!
2.) all my friends and family who have blessed us with A LOT of our baby needs!!! You guys are WAY to generous!!!
3.) cloth diapers we are very excited that we decided this before we had baby boy because a lot of stuff has come up financially and we were able to register for cloth diapers and also purchase them before more financial burdens came up! It really puts my heart at ease knowing that we are saving money and not adding money needs to my maternity leave since i don't get paid for it!
4.) my Chiropractor has shared some amazing things i never would have thought of during my pregnancy especially what is to come with labor.
5.) breastfeeding, i pray that i will be able to breastfeed....besides the fact that formula is so expensive it will also help me and the baby in so many ways
6.) part time work, I'm thankful that i will be able to be with our baby boy and be able to work still and help get rid of more of our debt....but also do what i love (hair) :) and feel like i'm not missing out on our sons growing up!
7.) an amazing husband who supports me with everything....breastfeeding, cloth diapers, natural labor, part time work, taking on financial burdens, and doesn't complain when i make lists that i want done before the baby is born!
8.) wanting to have natural birth (i understand complications happens and when that time comes we will deal with it then) but I feel that natural will be the best for me and baby.....so pray that i will be able to handle it! (thank you Jon and friends for supporting this and keeping me positive:))
9.) for beautiful safe crib (my dad made), nursery being done, safe warm home
10.) lots and lots of love from friends and family who are excited for our baby boy Weber and for spoiling him before his even born!!
keep us in your prayers please!!!! Especially since everyone says this is going to be a strain on our marriage after the baby is born and changes our routine a lot!!! pray pray pray!
