Love Day - XoxO

What do we love about Valentines Day?
We love getting new Valentines shirts in our favorite colors that have sparkle hearts.
We love that Daddy was home to celebrate with us.
We didn't love that Mommy kept trying to get us to look at the camera instead of at the kitty or the TV.
We loved that everyone was feeling better for Valentines. Only stuffy noses left, no more fevers.
We love our Max.
We love 'big' Donald, 'little' Donald, Pluto, and all our blankets. We have spared you those photo-ops.
We love coming home to surprise Valentines left on our front porch.
We love all the candy we got to share.
Mya loved helping Mommy make the valentines for her preschool friends, and was super excited for her Valentines party.
What does Mommy love this Valentines day?
She loves these two silly little faces more than they will ever know.
She loves that they make her laugh everyday. She loves that Mya always tells her that she loves her and that Sadie loves to snuggle her at naptime and hold her hand to fall asleep.
She loved that Daddy was home for Valentines.
She loved that Nana made cookie dough. Mommy said little brother was happy to have that too.
We have lots to Love this Valentines day!  We hope yours was full of Love too!

30 & 32 Weeks


30 wks
 Dear little man,
I never thought that I would be so behind on documenting anything and everything about what has been going on while you have been growing in my belly. Please know that this is no reflection on how much I love you already and how very excited that I am to have you come to our family. I will admit that when I first discovered that you were a little man and not another little lady I was a little terrified. I am not sure why because I have two fabulous brothers, your uncles, and they were so much fun to grow up with. I think it was because I have never been a mommy to a little boy. I know what to expect being a mommy to little girls. You are bringing the unknown and shaking up my knowledge base. Everyone assures me that boys are so much easier, and so much fun and trust me I have no doubt about how much fun it's going to be and how much love you will bring to our home.
All the sudden we are both growing. You have been hiding pretty well inside mommy for a while now but you must have discovered how much more room you can get with a shift externally. Daddy came home from North Dakota and we surprised him with how much you were poking out. He laughs a lot and pats us when he walks by. You have definite awake and quiet times. Sometimes the quiet times last longer than your paranoid mommy likes and she starts worrying a little bit but then you always make up for it by doing your version of the River Dance in my belly.
