I Wish…

September 28, 2009 by Elaine

Not too long ago my friend Maria at Bored Mommy posted a list which she titled “I Wish.” I hope she doesn’t mind that I’m borrowing her idea today…

… for it to be Thursday (THIS Thursday).

… for everything to go well on Thursday.

… for baby K to be healthy (I also pray for this every day).

… for the baby weight to melt right off (hey, a girl can dream!).

… for breastfeeding to work out well again.

… for Little G to be good around the baby.

… for the hospital food to be decent.

… for world peace (just thought I’d throw that in…).

… for the closing on our TX house to go through as it’s supposed to in mid October.

… for people to be nicer to each other in this world and think before they speak.

… to be able to go shoe shopping again.

… for baby K to be a good sleeper like her brothers (did I just jinx myself?)

… for ice cream to have no calories (no one said they all had to be realistic!).

… for cooler weather.

… for my children’s future to be bright.

… for my husband and I not to forget our 10th anniversary in early November (it’s a good possibility you know…).

… for my friends and family to know how much I love them (I do y’all!).

… for THIS Thursday to be here (oh wait, I said that already, didn’t I?).

So what are you wishing for today? Please feel free to share. I want to know!

    I cant believe the time is here already!!! Time moves so quickly!! I definietly wish all those things for you too! Can’t wait to find out the name of your little girl and see her cute face! Definitely will keep you all in our prayers!

    PS- I wish ice cream was calorie free too. I just know that those extra ten pounds I want to lose would come off if it was!

    I wish for Baby K to arrive safely and healthy….and sooner rather than later.

    I wish for my husband to return home from his whirlwind world trip.

    I wish for 10 pounds to magically fall off my frame. Make that 20 pounds.

    What a fun wish list! Be care about that anniversary. We spent out long awaited 10 year anniversary at the park with subway sandwiches and the kids. Guess which spouse wasn’t really happy with that?

    I just said a prayer for a safe delivery of your princess.

  17. Erin M. says

    September 28, 2009 at 7:17 pm

    This is a great idea and may I steal it from you for later this week?

    I am praying things go well on Thursday and you’ve been on my mind A TON lately!!! I can’t wait to see pictures of the bebe!!!

    Take it easy! Get some last minute rest while you can!

    I wish I had not eaten cheesecake for breakfast. I wish I had a cleaner. I wish I could sleep in until 9 a.m. every morning.

    So excited for you that this is the week you’ll be meeting your girl!

  19. Michelle says
