- Katherine
- Steve
- my house
- The Fuzz
- modern medicine
- c-sections
- Katherine's medical team including Dr. Rundquist, Child Health Specialty Clinics, her Early Access service coordinator
- my church
- Steve's church
- my and Steve's extended families
- our friends
- books
- magazines
- Katherine's premature birth because we have learned so much about how fragile life is and baby development
- babies develop the suck-swallow-breathe reflex at 36 gestational weeks just to name one fact we've learned
- St. Luke's NICU
- even the mean NICU doctor because she taught me that I will stand up for what I believe is right for Katherine even if trained professionals don't agree with my point of view
- my lactation consultants, Nancy and Dena
- without Nancy's support I wouldn't have a successful breastfeeding relationship with Katherine
- without Dena's breastfeeding support group, I wouldn't meet other breastfeeding moms
- Medela
- Dr. Jones, my OB doctor
- sunshine
- green grass
- my job
- the lactation room at work
- silly comedies on TV
- my education starting with kindergarten and ending with my bachelor's degree.
- all of the conservation projects our grade school made me do because they made me care about the planet
- my life
- every day
Those are just a few of the many things I'm thankful for.
