Grateful

I'm going to preface this post by saying that I hate talking about how my life is so hard, blah, blah, blah. There are people out there who have it a million times worse than I do. And I recognize that. Even I have been through tougher trials than my currently situation, BUT the past few months have been tough. Not going to lie. 

When Daniel got a new job hours away from where we are now, we had no idea it would cause so much strain both financially, mentally and emotionally on our family. We were optimistic our house would sell quickly. Nearly three months, two failed offers later and now weeks without any showings or real interest has us feeling very discouraged. 

I never imagined I'd be in the boat to deliver this baby potentially without my husband by my side. 

Struggling with antenatal depression and anxiety definitely has not helped my situation.

Fortunately I have some amazing family support. My parents, even though they don't live close, have helped take care of Jack and I quite a bit over the past couple months. And they are already totally spoiling this soon-to-be born baby girl. 

And my grandpa who is always so great to give Jack, the puppies and I a place to go when we need to get out of the house for a showing. 

I also have some great in-laws! Especially my sisters in law, who have become some of my best friends. They've been so helpful, caring and supportive and I'm so grateful to have them in my life. 

And even though I don't have many real-life friends, I do have some incredibly friendships I've made online. These ladies are always there for support and advice when I need it. 

Lastly, but certainly not least, a special shoutout to my amazing husband. Even though he's far away, he's still my best friend and I'm so proud of him for working so hard for us. 

I don't know what I'd do without these people. You all have made this tough time more bearable for sure. 

Thanks for reading my sappy post, everyone. <3 have a great weekend!
