oh...love day..

It is no secret that I am absolutely terrible and documenting our lives, and this definitely includes picture taking. Grant loathes being in pictures and since I refuse to be snapped alone, we have very little documentation of our lives together.(This must change when the little dude arrives) Very sad..very sad indeed.

So with that said, here is another very boring post with no pictures, simply words.

Grant and I choose to be very simple people. It doesn't take much to impress us so holidays such as v-day are laid back, relaxed and in my mind quite enjoyable. This year I guess was my year to plan.. it is a long story but Grant and I agreed that each of us would go through "hell" year and be in charge of planning the anniversary and v-day. How romantic right?? Anyway I am pretty sure that my year was last year but Grant has this sneaky way of always tricking me into thinking that it is my turn for everything. haha anyway I honestly am the worst wife and had zero plans for this special occasion and this is how we spent it..

On Thursday night I decided to make my favorite dessert creme brulee (just so you know I nailed it, it was so delicious) so that we could indulge on Friday. This was the absolute only thing I had planned out.. #wifefail   My excuse? Pregnancy haha I am so tired and honestly would rather spend each day just cuddling up and hanging out at home. Lame, I know.

Anyway. We ended up eating chinese food, eating creme brulee and cuddling on the couch all night watching our newest netflix addiction. Although it was nothing spectacular it is one v-day I want to cherish forever. I guess something inside of me is changing and I am starting to realize just how much I love our simple moments together. Nights just the two of us.

These are the moments..

I am writing this post strictly to remind myself how much I love the little moments in life..

Grant is applying to grad school and we are almost positive he will be starting up next month.. for this reason we have tried to enjoy every little moment of down time the two of us have together. 

This week we have hit the gym right after work instead of our usual 9 PM routine, thank goodness, which has left us with much of our evenings to just relax. This means most of our nights are spent chatting about life and catching up on netflix shows. But our favorite thing by far is sitting down and feeling and watching our little boy move around. These moments are really ones I will forever cherish. It is amazing the smile I get every time I feel him move but even more when Grant and I can actually see him moving. 

I just love my little family.

Bump Update Week 23

How Far Along:  23 Weeks and still growing!

Size of baby:  Size of a Mango! 11-12 inches long and just over a pound!

Total weight gained/lost:  Not sure at this point. I have my next appointment on February 13th and will do the dreaded weigh in.

Maternity Clothes:  I can still get away with 1 or 2 pairs of my jeans with the rubber band and I can only wear baggier pre-pregnancy shirts. He is really low and completely out front.

Gender:  Still a boy!

Movement: He is still moving and kicking around. It really is my most favorite thing when I feel him.

Sleep: The past week has been difficult. I wake up a few times each night just because I am SO uncomfortable.

Symptoms:  Like I said, he is sitting VERY low and likes to hangout on my hips and nerve. I am achy but it is nothing I cannot handle.

What I miss:  Some of my clothes. I feel like I wear the same few outfits every week.

Cravings: Nothing really. I will eat just about anything.

Best Moment this week:  Someone pointing out that I was having a baby. I know it sounds stupid but it means I am officially out of the awkward "are you pregnant or just gaining weight" stage.

What I am looking forward to: Grant feeling him move more often. He isn't the biggest fan of Grant placing his hand on my stomach...he is a stubborn one and possibly a momma's boy already.
