Love

Well, I posted all those pics to show myself how many pictures I do still have! I updated my iPhone and some freak thing happened. I lost every single photo I have ever taken or saved on my phone yesterday! I'm not going to lie.. I shed some tears! I had 9 months worth of pictures and videos on that phone. Including the video of the first time we heard our baby's heartbeat. I love pictures and I take so many everyday! Too many to post on facebook all the time, so its frustrating to know that they are just GONE! :(

I just wanted to say happy Valentine's day to all of my family and friends, but especially to Jesse and our baby. I was writing a quick love note to Jesse today and couldn't help but be so overwhelmed with so much love and gratitude. Feeling our baby kicking inside of me as I am telling its father how special he is to me. What an incredible experience! Jesse and I have had a little bit of a journey trying to have a family. We have had 2 pregnancy that were unsuccessful and now our third is going great. We have really been prepared for this and I feel as though we are much more thankful than maybe we would have been, had those things not happened.

It has just been Jesse and I for the past 3 1/2 years of marriage(4 by the time baby comes). I have LOVED this time that he and I have had together. We have not only enjoyed so many trips and experiences, but we have learned a lot about our marriage and how we work together. I think these past few years have helped us to be better people and now to be the best parents we can be, to our unborn child. We have a home and relationship filled with love and that is the strongest foundation I could've asked for.

Jesse, you are my best friend. You genuinely love me for who I am, you care for me and my emotional and physical health. You are my example of who I want to be more like. You are so patient and loving and accepting of me and all that comes with it. I am thankful for the example you set for me and for our baby. You are so happy all the time. Waking up to that smiling face every morning is literally all I need. I have NEVER met anyone who actually wakes up happy. I mean, I am kind of a pill in the mornings. Even though I actually enjoy mornings, I never wake up happy like you! These are just a few things I wanted to share. I. Love. You.

Baby, I just can't quit being so excited to meet you! You make me so happy, you are the piece of our family that we have been working so hard to have. I love being able to be with you everyday feeling your movement! You are definitely our little Valentine! I can't even imagine what next Valentine's day will be like! Love you so much already and we are so happy to have you in our lives!
