Happy Valentine's Day!
We had a pretty low key Valentine's day since it's my favorite holiday we kind of celebrate all week long. For the actual day we went to lunch at Olive Garden hoping that it wouldn't be as busy, it was pretty busy but not too crazy. I had fun decorating my house with some other Valentine decorations and making fun packages for my nieces, nephews and family. I remember when I was a little girl I had an Aunt who sent us fun Valentine cards with 5 dollars , candy, or stickers in them.
Justin was so cute and came home from work with a haircut and all dressed up nice cause he knows that I love a man in a suit. We just hung out at home. I ended up falling asleep at 9:30, I had to get up for a work meeting at 6 and had been busy all day so by then I was pooped. We are party animals. I told Justin it's a good thing that we are already homebodies cause after having a baby I am not sure we'll be going anywhere soon. =)
It was a good day and week. We got lots of love from family and each other. I really love the Batman one my sister sent Justin. It even came with a cool magnet. We got some fun news that my sister is expecting a baby in August! I have to say that I was thinking that she was either thinking of being pregnant or working on it last time I saw her. =) Love you Carrie! So that was fun.
Justin was too funny and he can never keep a secret so he gave me my Valentine's presents early. He got me Taylor Swift's new cd RED. Which I think is so funny because he just makes fun her all the time and I mostly just sing along to tease him. I actually do like her and the cd is pretty good, he just makes fun of me when I get all into singing along. He must have been in a Taylor Swift mood because he also got me her perfume. Which smells really good.
I also had a Dr.'s appointment on Valentine's day. Everything still looks good with baby. I got checked to see if anything was going on and I was 50% thinned and 1 cm dilated. For those who don't know it means that my cervix which needs to get all thinned out for the baby to come out is halfway there. Then the dilation is how big I am for the baby to come out. It needs to be at least 10 cm more or less for a baby to come out. So kind of exciting to have something going on. I haven't felt much different lately or feeling any majorly strong contractions so it was cool to know what was going on. It was not a pleasant experience by any means so I am hoping I can keep those down to a minimum.
I have to work this weekend and a few more times before my next appointment and then depending on what is going on I may have my Dr. do something to start Labor. Kind of crazy to think it could happen so soon. I am pretty strong in nothing happening for a while. But we'll see.
It has been a great week and filled with so much love and kindness. I love Valentine's to share that love with all you know. Something is just happy about cutting out hearts and sending someone a love note. I felt very loved by my husband and family.
