Inspired by A16 and the current whole life challenge lifestyle practice..
We've all done our share of complaining and commiserating so this thread is for all good things! Share 3 things that are awesome about you and in your life right now.
1. I'm only 5# up from my pre-pregnancy weight and I can wear my jeans if I ever wanted to wear something other than sweats (with a little extra muffin top) 2. DH has been awesome at dealing with the toddler in these early weeks with the new baby. It's eased the 1 to 2 transition a lot. 3. DS is doing pretty awesome with the changes. He's almost 2 1/2 and he is so much fun. It's been stressful over the last couple weeks with adding a new baby and he's adjusted well for the most part. He's having more tantrums and has had a couple night wake ups but those seem to be stopping and he does so well being gentle with E.
1. I am actually enjoying the newborn stage this time. I'm tired, but it's not earth shattering like it was with my first.
2. Breastfeeding has been painless this time. Last time I called the LC crying one week out worried my nipples were infected.
3. We have family here to help almost the whole first month. It's awesome. And I'm proud at 8 days I've taken DD2 to lunch and to the pumpkin patch. I totally isolated myself last time at the beginning and it was really hard emotionally.

I love this! Maybe we could do a weekly positivity post if anyone is interested?
1. Baby only woke up once last night so I got a 3 and 4 hour stretch of sleep, I feel like a million bucks.
2. DH has been amazing helping with the baby, supporting me in PP recovery/rest, and maintaining a good attitude while my parents have been here (we can both get easily stressed/overwhelmed with houseguests).
3. My older kids are so sweet and have done great overall adjusting to the new baby. I feel so lucky to have my little family complete and I'm so excited to be on maternity leave so I can focus on all 3 of my kids and DH during my favorite time of year!
1. Next week H is taking some time off to spend with us. He's requested off Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. One of those days we're going to the pumpkin festival. Pretty excited about that.
2. That coffee and wine exist.
3. Rowan has his one month appointment tomorrow and we can finally talk about his gas/reflux issues.
1. We went to a fall fest at the Botanic Gardens today and it was so lovely..my toddler had a blast and the baby hung out in the k'tan and then nursed easily in public.
2. I'll second singingsea 's post that coffee and wine exist!
3. Feeling slightly refreshed because although the baby was up 3x to eat...she went right back to sleep each time. Phew!
1. We had the babies baptized today and all of our family, even my grandma, was able to make it. 2. I'm visiting my parents all week and will get to spend so much time with everyone. 3. All of my regular clothes are fitting again! Most fit differently but whatever, they fit and I'll make them work.
1. We got a real smile today. 2. I got to go grocery shopping by myself today!! 3. After feeling awful last week I woke up today finally feeling recovered. Nothing hurt on my body and it's an amazing feeling. That could changed tomorrow but I'm choosing to stay positive today!

1.) J was breathing on his own for a few hours Saturday, he got his oxygen out of his nose and his nurse decided to leave him because he was doing well outside of breathing fast a few times.
2.) DH and I celebrated our 5th anniversary on the 8th. Hard to believe its been that long.
3.) It seems our fur-babu is finally flea free she will get a couple more wash downs as a precaution though, because the cats are still a problem.
