Hugs and Kisses

Valentines day is not about the gifts, it is more just a scheduled date night that the world provides. HOWEVER, we indulged in gifts this year. I always give lame ones that are NOT romantic but practical. Cody gives me sweet gifts that are constant reminders how he thinks of me all the day long. (In my defense, I did put a heart shaped chocolate box in his lunch.)

To make the night romantic, (well as romantic as it gets with a 6 month pregnant woman) I built a tent in our living room, made some homemade pizza and lit the candles. [The candles FREAKED Cody out. Something about a 'cloth tent, fire, burning, disaster']

Cody was in charge of the movie.... so we watched Lone Ranger. Romantic. 

We ended the night with some brownies and a bedtime of 8:30. 

That is my kind of party. 

This is called love?

My darling husband had a cold for about a week, and I knew every second of it. He was a ball of germs and I constantly was making a squished "eww" face when I looked at him. But of course, I tended to his every need and got him the medicine that he likes. I made baths, tea and clean un-germed clothes appear for him. How does he repay me on the day he feels better?

I am dying.

Toots, kicks and cravings

Today I woke up and dreamed I was 39 and half weeks pregnant. I was so happy. Then I realized I am only about 29 weeks. Bummer.

[I decided to show off my tummy]

I have just entered the third trimester. Oh hooray! Cody said (in all seriousness), "At the end of this one, you will have a baby!" Yup, that is how it works. However, I don't remember what life was before pregnancy. [Some mom's are probably rolling their eyes and thinking, wait till you have 6] I haven't worn zip-up jeans in months. Shaving my legs? When standing in the shower I can see about my knee down. And the idea of bending and tending is not high on my list. I told my mom today, I can almost feel the stretch marks coming on, my tummy is not made to handle this weight! Laying down means an immediate lost of breath for about a minute. Vertical to horizontal is a process now. And I feel like a rotisserie chicken while I sleep, constantly turning from one side to the other.

So those are my complaints. (Shorter than my first trimester for sure!) When I make it from vertical to horizontal, and I am laying in bed I dream of my sweet baby, who is more likely than not, kicking me at that moment. I think about holding him next to me. Or laying him in between Cody and I on Saturday mornings when we just lay in bed and talk. I think about how my entire heart will just melt when he holds my finger. And I think about the moment when someone is holding my crying baby and I pick him up and he is instantly soothed. (The last one is kinda just a big wish on my part. I worry that he might like others more than his mother!)

Well 11 weeks left of dreaming, then it is game time. Until then I will crave me a chocolate milkshake and have Cody tie my shoes. I just can't wait for my little bundle of joy to get here!

Super Bowl Sunday

So Cody and I aren't HUGE football fans. But when a game is on I like to watch it, because A) we only have like 4 channels and it is normally the best option B) it reminds me of home, so it is calming to watch huge guys slam each other into the ground and C) we are having a boy so we need to be sporty.

So on Saturday when Cody realized the Super Bowl coming, he was like a little kid. I was way impressed how much it meant to him to watch it. He started listing off the things we needed to buy. 

That's when I realized, it was all about the food.

His wish came true. 

[The game was just sad.]

My Lazy Saturday

Pretty much my husband

This morning I was laying on the couch and heard Cody singing in the kitchen. 
It went like this:

I can'ttt stoppp

And I wonnn't stoppp

Cause-somebody-cut-my-breaks

I-am-going-to-die

I was extremely entertained.

He is just darling.

Just a side note, I was looking through my old post. And found this little treasure 02/01/2009. Same day just back in 2009. The crazy college days. [Now I am old, ever expanding and married. Pretty boring]
