love night

i hurried home to find a husband that had shopped for a cozy dinner at home that would suit my craving of the day: spaghetti. mmmmmm....

ryan pulled the valentine's day box from the garage so i could set a special table. and we lit our valentine's day candle.

no wine for this preggo. instead i had a delightful and refreshing spritzer. made with orange juice, pineapple juice and a splash of sprite.

cheers! to us!

after supper, we ate cookies and milk and cuddled on the couch watching shows that had piled up on our dvr.

we exchanged cards. ryan made mine from scratch. it was perhaps the cutest thing i have ever received. i felt like a bit of a slacker handing over my store-bought card. but i couldn't resist the opportunity to buy my first "for husband" card.

and as if to perfectly wrap up our valentine's celebration, this morning i heard our little baby's heartbeat for the first time. fast, strong and steady. just like mama likes it.
