and so, our little heart chocolates made their way out of the fridge, and handmade love notes were shared. actually, as i was writing a little love note for maddalena early that morning, she asked what i was doing and i told her i was making her a valentine. she genuinely and so sweetly responded, “well… i wish i had something for you…” and my heart broke into pieces!! i love her so much it’s just bananas.
anyway, on our drive home that evening, stevo and i kind of tried to recall all of our past valentine’s days together, and the first one we couldn’t even remember! thinking back right now… i remember a box of chocolates?! but it’s funny to realize how many there have been at this point, from heart-shaped pizzas in a fraternity house to michael buble tickets and candlelit dinners to nights at home with a baby. and still there’s nooobody i’d rather be my boo on the day of love and every day. <3
and! ps. that valentine’s saturday also brought an official 20 week baby bumpy, and whoaaa nelly! that’s the halfway mark for little baby number two! crazy, crazy, the craziest!
Half-way already?! You look gorgeous, lady! xoxo
I can't believe you have half way!!!! The mind reels. It's amazing how much faster everyone else's pregnancies seem to go when they aren't your own. And it's blogging which is part of that time continuum thing you mentioned a ways back. You guys make Valentine's look good. You just do. And how do you raise such a thoughtful child? I suppose being thoughtful first may help…. 😉
Hopefully we will be seeing some gender reveal shenanigans soon! 😉
Sounds like a lovely day <3 Happy belated Valentine's Day!
