Do you ever just think 'wow I'm so lucky'

Having a bit of a soppy moment after a few drinks with DH and thought it might be a nice idea for a thread in amongst all of the misery online.

Do you ever look at your life and just think - wow - I could only have dreamt that things would turn out like this.

Specifically tonight we were talking about our beautiful 5 month old. I had a MMC before I had him and some very similar bleeding in early pregnancy this time round. We both remember being in the waiting room waiting for the scan and being sure they were going to give us bad news again, but that time we heard the glorious 'and there's the little heart beat.'

Now he's here and it's absolutely chaos because we've got 2 under 3 and are both self employed with very little support and neither kid sleeps very well but every now and then I just look at him (and his brother) and think WOW ❤️

I'd love to hear some other lovely stories in my soppy state!

Yep. A close friend passed away suddenly very recently, she was on top of the world - recently married and pregnant, after being given a very low chance of conceiving, so it’s given me the shove I needed to realise how lucky I am rather than stress the small stuff. She was always a positive uplifting person who thanked her lucky stars every day if she had reason to do so.

Yes, I'm very lucky. I have an amazing DH who adores me, and is hands-on with the dcs and housework, 2 young dcs, a large house in a sought-after London location, I'm a sahm and enjoy the time with my dcs, and have the time and finances to do fun things around the city every day. Life has not always been rosy, which I won't get into, but that does make me appreciate what I have now.
