Thankful or Throwback Thursday?

In an attempt to be more consistent in blogging, I want to have a weekly themed post.  One of my favorite fashion bloggers used to do Awkward and Awesome Thursdays (I linked to my favorite one about pregnancy), Chelsea, from our old church in College Station has Wordless Wednesday, and then there's the standard "Throwback Thursday" that takes over Instagram every week.  I have recently seen "Thankful Thursday," too.

So what should this blog's weekly post be??  I feel like it has to be simple, because-let's face it, I am not winning any blogging awards over here at the moment.  I have decided upon Thursdays. Because Mondays and Fridays are always too busy, Tuesday is a catch-up-from-Monday kindof day and Wednesday, hump day, is just too middle-of-the-week.  I want something to look forward to write about.  So get ready for ______ Thursdays at Meet the Griffins.  While I mull over what to write about weekly, I will pick up where Awkward and Awesome Thursday left off.

But first--a blooper reel from our weekly photo sessions, because I do not have any new photos. This cracks me up, especially Emily in the middle, who is very much not pregnant.

Awkward: 
- Realizing just because you can zip a pair of pants, doesn't mean they fit (Thank you, week 18 growth spurt)
- The elastic contraption I bought to make my pants last a liiiiittle bit longer, before having to bust out my new maternity jeans, which are awesome btw.
- Spending more on maternity jeans than groceries, electricity, and practically the mortgage.  But I did my research and everyone says they're worth it.  They better make me look as tall and thin as Heidi Klum...
- Going to have your sinuses drained weekly at the ENT.  I mean...does that need more explanation?
- Pregnancy hormones.  enough said.
- Or when said hormones make you start crying un-ridiculously-controllably during worship at church on Sunday.  Then the crying will trigger an asthma attack and you have to leave early.  Yeah...that was pretty awkward. :-/

Awesome: 
- Waking up to find a clean kitchen every day this week!  The dish fairy has unloaded the dishwasher every morning.  Thank you dish fairy Jimmy!
- Turning the TV off for a while.  It has been a great week of reading, learning, talking, and laughing.  Oh lots of laughing.  Laughing 'til my sides hurt.  
- The BEAUTIFUL wood crib we bought for our bebe!! I will soon detail the story of purchasing said crib.
- Receiving encouraging emails from our friend Michael, in Peru.  He is getting married to his beautiful Peruvian bride on Saturday.  We wish we could be there, but a close second is hearing all the stories of God's provision for this obedient couple.
- The crazy weather!  I love a cold morning and gorgeous afternoon.  It is beautiful outside!!
- Family walks!!
- Valentine's decorations! Holidays make my heart happy, especially holidays where decorating with pink is not only tolerable, but encouraged!
- Not having to go back to the pulmonologist for THREE MONTHS!! Praise Jesus!
