Be Mine

Last Valentine's day, Brian and I had a traditional Valentine's day dinner at an Italian restaurant and talked about where we would vacation.  A little Thailand-Cambodia-Malaysia excursion was pretty high on our list and we envisioned all of the things that we would do and the places we would go.

I distinctly remember waiting for our table and all of a sudden, out of no where, having to go to the bathroom immediately.  (Number one, not two.)  Brian said, "maybe you're pregnant!"  After all, we had been trying, but I quickly blew that off because I thought that your lack of bladder control happened more when there was limited space within your uterine walls, aka toward the latter part of your pregnancy.  (Alas, I was merely an amateur at that point.)

Four days later we found out we were expecting!

We quickly scratched our Southeast Asia excursion (that could most definitely wait!) and began the most incredible journey of our lives: having our baby girl!

In t-minus four days, we would find out that we would
be parents-to-be!

This Valentine's Day finds us together as a family of three with our sweet angel, Kate, and we couldn't be happier!

Our very first Valentine's day together!  XO!

Kate is Mommy's Valentine...

...AND Daddy's Valentine!!!

We made Valentine's on Kate's behalf to send to all of her Grandparents and celebrated this day with a non-traditional Valentine's day Mexican dinner.

Kate's Valentine: front...

...and back!

And Daddy surprised us both with a little bunch of roses and a delicious cupcake!  (Daddy is Mommy's Valentine too!)

Brian mentioned that this is the first holiday where he realized he's going to have to come home with two bunches of flowers now!  What a sweet Daddy!

Our Valentine's Day was extra special this year with our baby girl by our sides, and we are so looking forward to celebrating this holiday together for many, many more years!

Happy Valentine's Day!
