Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!!

We didn't do anything for Valentine's day today. We will be going out to eat but trying to fight the crowds on "the" day...totally not worth it, especially when you have a 4 month old and no babysitter!!!!!!! No thanks...I'll pass on that one!

Just over a year ago today, we found out that we were pregnant with our wonderful son. On February 11th we found out. I remember that morning VERY vividly actually. I wish someone could have taken a picture of my face when I looked at the pregnancy test. Afterall, 2 months of no period followed by 1 month + of negative home pregnancy tests, along with a big fat negative BLOOD test from the doctor's office couldn't possibly mean I was pregnant...right?? There was something definitely WRONG with my body. Well, that big wrong thing turned out to be Leon!! I was giving myself 2 weeks past the blood test at the doctor and I was going to call them again. I had absolutely NO symptoms of being pregnant. No morning sickness or anything. The ONLY symptom I really had throughout the entire pregnancy was increased urination...go figure! So, I took the last pregnancy test I had that morning just knowing in my head that it would be negative just like every other one I've ever taken but boy was I wrong?!?! I was getting ready to get in the shower and happened to glance over and see the results and was extremely shocked yet pleased at the same time. I had to re-read it when I got out of the shower just to make sure I wasn't still asleep or something. I vowed not to tell Skip until later that night, so I actually wrapped it back up and put it back where it was so he wouldn't even question that I had taken yet another hpt. So, I made him a cake that night and decorated it with, "Welcome Home Daddy!!" He was so surprised and extremely happy. So, basically, that's a short story of how we came to discover that we were in fact expecting what turns out to be an extremely happy baby who makes me smile every time I see him. I don't know what I'd ever do without him. He is the best thing in the world...who knew I could ever love someone like I love him??
