With Valentines Day just a few days ago, I was thinking of all of the things I love about MY valentine. My hubby is THE greatest gift I have every received. My love for him grows stronger every single day. He is always on my mind and I am constantly thanking God for such an amazing husband. I can’t imagine loving anything else in this world as much as I love him. I am SO blessed to be able to go to work with him everyday & spend so much time with him. I don’t know how he puts up with me sometime, but fortunately he never seems to get tired of me. I always make an effort to remind myself of my blessings and not take them for granted because I know I am the luckiest girl in the work!
So, in honor of Valentine’s Day, here are my Top 10 reasons why I love my hubby!!

13 Weeks
I can hardly believe that 13 weeks of pregnancy have already past. It is going by so fast. I will say that I don’t miss the morning/all day sickness and the total exhaustion. They are finally passing! Now I am just loving every minute of this journey. I think about baby all of the time and it is usually the topic of conversation wherever I go. It’s such a special feeling knowing that you are taking care of a baby and that baby is growing and moving and developing into a little human being all inside of me. I can’t imagine anything more special in life.
I feel happier than I have in a couple of years. I think Mike appreciates finally having his wife back. The wife that is happy and excited by the little things in life again. I tried my best to be happy and enjoy all of the alone time I have had with Mike over the last 7 years but the last 2 years have been rough. Constant doctor visits and discouraging news can become a beat down. But enough of all that, let’s move on to the good stuff.
I have started showing a little bump in the last couple of weeks! Several people commented on my growing belly this week and it made me feel so special. My bff Yomaida also brought me TONS of super cute maternity clothes that she had been saving for me to borrow. I must post pictures later of the 4 pairs of pants, 1 skirt, 4 dresses, and 21 tops. Can you believe it!?! I am blessed with great friends.
Also, I bought my first few maternity pieces yesterday (thank you Shawn)!! My sweet friend stopped by the Gap and put several things on hold for me. So of course I rushed over there on my way home from school. What fun that was for me to try on all of these cute maternity clothes and know that pretty soon they will be stretched to the max. I had a blast while Mike stood in the corner and played Angry Birds. Secretly I know that he is loving every minute of this experience too. He has been so precious. He is so willing to do anything and everything that I need or want just for baby. From late night milkshake or orange juice runs to cooking dinner every night, he has just been SO precious. I know that he will make an amazing daddy. I can hardly wait to see him in action.
Well, I was just reading my best friend Kristy’s blog, who is also prego, and she had the cutest little weekly updates. So, I think I will borrow her idea and start my own weekly updates. Enjoy!!!

Christmas 2010
I love the holidays. I just can’t get enough of them. They just seem to always go by way too fast. This year was an extra special Christmas because my little sis and I are both pregnant. As expected, my parents are just over the moon. They have been talking about grandbabies forever and then to have two a few months apart is crazy. Needless to say they have the baby fever. We got TONS of baby stuff, already.
Right after Christmas my sis found out she is having a boy! Lucky for us, Mom, Dad, Mike and I had already gone shopping that morning and picked out the perfect boy and girl outfits to surprise the happy couple when they came over. We waited until we found out it was a baby boy and wrapped all the baby boy clothes up. (We saved the girl clothes just in case….fingers crossed)
Team Grandpa Tough Little Guy
Matt and Jamie are SO excited, they really wanted a boy! I’m SO happy for them both. Mike and I on the other hand can not agree. He wants a boy and I of course want a girl. Honestly though, as long as they are healthy and perfect, I will take what the Lord gives me. We got some sweet little onsies, socks, pacifiers, blankets, and some other special things just for Mike.
Not to worry though, my sister-in-law bought some cute little OU stuff that baby really will wear!!!
Well, Christmas always reminds me of family and the fun we always have. Mike and I are both so blessed to have such amazing families. Here are a few more of my favs from the Holidays…
The Xbox Kinect got a little crazy.
