Valentine's Day 2015

Hi My Littlest Valentine,

I hope you've had a good weekend. Mommy has been doing a whole lot of nothing this weekend, and it sure has been relaxing. I guess I can't really say I've been doing nothing, but I have been doing a lot at home, and getting a lot of much needed sleep!

Happy Valentine's Day <3 xoxo 

On Friday, Mommy got a very sweet edible arrangement delivered to her office from Daddy. It was very yummy- and we got to nibble on it all day.

Our edible arrangement from Daddy! 

Friday night, you and I stayed in and set up a surprise for Daddy. He had to go to Vegas for work this week, and he didn't get home until after midnight on Friday. Mommy's Valentine's Day surprise was to officially change her last name, so all three of us will have the same last name! Daddy really wanted me to make sure it was changed for your birth certificate, so we made sure that everything is all taken care of.

Daddy didn't know that we've been going to the courthouse to get official copies of our marriage certificate, the social security office to change our name, the BMV to get a new driver's license, and contacting all of our banks and utility companies and credit card companies to get everything switched over. So when he walked in the house at 1 AM, he got the surprise, with all of mommy's new IDs and business cards along with some Valentine's Day cards and treats, hanging across our dining room. We made sure he got a card from you too, since this is his first Valentine's Day as a Daddy-to-be!

Daddy's Valentine's Day Surprise!

On actual Valentine's Day, you and Mommy went to Barre class in the morning. The snow was horrible, so Mommy picked up Daddy on the way home so we could stock up on some staples at the grocery store for the long weekend (Mommy has President's Day off on Monday). We got a bunch of fresh fruit and veggies- bananas, apples, grapes, strawberries, black berries, raspberries, carrots, and Naked Green juice, and of course chocolate milk and regular milk. Mommy knows you can't go without your fruit or milk every day- those are definitely regular cravings!

When Mommy and Daddy finally got home and out of the snow, we reevaluated our Valentine's Day plans. Daddy had made reservations at a Japanese Hibachi Steakhouse, but because of the bad snow, we decided to cancel and just have a Valentine's Day dinner at home. Eddie Cerino's Italian, right around the corner, has curbside pickup, and that's one of Daddy's favorite dinners ever. Mommy can't complain- the food, especially the bread, is always wonderful! So we watched Oscar-nominated movies all day (we're trying to get through all of them before the Oscars) and Mommy finished our honeymoon scrapbook. For dinner, we ordered the Crispy Chicken Carbonara for dinner with chocolate raspberry cheesecake for dessert. It was very yummy!

For Daddy, and you too- my two forever Valentines <3 

I guess all those movies wore us out, because we ended up sleeping over 11 hours! Sunday we woke up late and had a quick breakfast right away (apples and peanut butter and milk- some of your favorites!) and then we rode the exercise bike while Mommy and Daddy caught up on some TV shows. And we've just been watching movies the rest of the day.

Tomorrow, we're signed up for Barre class at noon. Then Mommy might try to get her nails done because your shower is 1 week away from today! I simply cannot wait- it will be so great to see all our family and friends, and get some things we definitely need to take care of you, and because Mommy's friend Rachel is coming to stay for the weekend, and we've got some plans to be pampered. Brunch, pedicures, and a prenatal massage. I can't wait!!!!

But more than anything, I can't believe that you'll be coming in just over 8 weeks. That is truly what I can't wait for. I can't wait to hold you, see your face and what you look like and your personality. I'm going to love you more than you'll ever know, baby boy! You'll always be one of my forever Valentines.

Love you so much,

Mommy xoxo
