This is how I feel but little Mia gets all the sleep when daddy’s awake and then keeps daddy awake when he should be sleep.

Life has been a series of fortunate events over the last few days. I’ll be M.I.A for a bit. Get it? Good! Brace yourselves for the dad jokes…

But… isn’t she just perfect!

Thanksgiving looks a little different this year. We’re home, nesting, hanging out, being thankful, remembering the blessings we’ve had over the last year. It’s not the traditional USA thanksgiving, but we’re making it ours. We don’t have family close by, not blood family at least, but it is our last thanksgiving as just the two of us. Next year baby girl will be almost a year old, and we are looking forward to that!

This year has had its ups and downs, but here are the ups:
1. We’re pregnant! God is good! Due date soon!
2. Our visas were approved for renewal just days before thanksgiving! Stress has decreased
3. Our first real Christmas tree was gifted to us! Notice all the ‘gifts’ under the tree? 😂
4. We have been blessed with people around us that share no blood, but through God we have family! They have spoilt us with the prep for baby girls arrival.
5. and I have almost been married 6 years! We’ve done a lot, learned a lot, leaned on each other and lifted each other when we had no energy to go on.
6. We’re living in the US of A, creating a legacy for our daughter and other children to come.

Be thankful, recognize the blessings you have. We have so much to give thanks for.

Happy Thanksgiving guys! Hope it was a lekker one!
