OUR TINY VALENTINE

I love Valentine’s Day, all the extra love and celebration, and I think this year was our favorite Valentine’s yet! On Valentine’s Day, we got to hear the baby’s perfect little heartbeat, spend the whole day together, and embrace our last Valentine’s Day with just us two! We are officially 15 weeks along and celebrating the start of my tiny baby bump.

To celebrate our last Valentine’s Day without any little ones, Nate surprised me with the most beautiful blooms and reservations at my favorite restaurant – we got all dressed up and went to the Copper Hen for the most amazing five course meal. If you’ve never been to the Copper Hen, it’s a must (and my favorite restaurant atmosphere in the Twin Cities). When we arrived, we actually were unaware that there was a five-course set menu, but we thought we would embrace it knowing it will likely be our last year of going to a fancy meal out on Valentine’s Day. Next year, we are already planning the perfect night in with wine tasting, charcuterie and snuggles with our sweet babe.

I have to finish with a little love note to my Valentine. Each day of watching you fall more in love with this baby, I can’t help but fall more in love with you, Nate Murray. Thank you for loving our little family with your whole heart, always leading us to chase after Jesus and His plans for our life, and embracing me in the midst of all the emotions and changes that continue to unfold in pregnancy! I have the happiest tears thinking about you with our little babe. You are truly going to be the most incredible dad, and our sweetie is SO blessed to have you! I love you, forever and always.
