31 Days of Thanksgiving – Day 24 – Anna Kooiman

Hi friends. I’m so thankful to have Anna Kooiman guest posting for me today. Below she shares about her blessings and the many wonderful things she has to thankful for during this busy but good season of life.  I enjoyed reading her post and I know you will love it too!

I think it is so important to count our blessings instead of misgivings. It helps me stay positive and get the most out of life. I believe it is a great challenge for us to take, when we try to always see the glass as half full.

 These days I am most grateful for a baby boy on the way. I just ordered my stroller, bassinet, & car seat today!!! I am 26 weeks along. I got to announce my big news on my favorite Aussie Morning Chat show, Studio Ten. My husband and I are expecting our first child at the end of January. We know how much our lives are about to change and can’t wait for this new chapter.

 Since finding out about my pregnancy I have been doing a lot of traveling for my fitness, travel, & lifestyle website, AnnaKooiman.com! Traveling is one of my favorite things to do and I can’t even imagine how difficult it will be once we welcome our bundle of joy. So I have a very well traveled fetus! He was conceived in Sydney and been back to the USA twice, to the Great Barrier Reef, Australia’s capital- Canberra, Dubai, Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, all over Northern Italy & Switzerland. I am currently back home in the USA for some television work in Los Angeles and New York City.
Since moving to Australia I have absolutely adored the time I’ve been able to spend getting to know my Aussie hubby’s family in Sydney. But of course I have missed my immediately family and culture a ton. They just flew out to LA from NC to spend some time with me. Although it was just for a couple of days, it was fabulous! This has been such an amazing opportunity to be back doing what I love in Los Angeles, hosting Good Day LA… and doing appearances on my old TV home, Fox and Friends in New York City.  
 I fly back to Sydney on Friday night. Looking forward to seeing my husband and yellow lab, Baxter. And plan to slow down and enjoy this special gift growing in my belly!! This is such an exciting time! I can’t wait to start getting things in order for his nursery at Bondi Beach!

Hi friends. Welcome to my website. I have a disability called Cerebral Palsy, but have learned over the years that my CP does not define me. Jesus Christ is my identity, not a disability. Read More…
