Valentine's Day

It's amazing to me how much life changes in just a moment and certainly in a year. James and I had a really special Valentine's Day last year, he went all out for the dinner he made me and it was incredible, but because of all his cooking and planning, I was banned from the kitchen all day. He suggested I take a bath to relax some before dinner, and I remember sitting in that bath thinking, I might be pregnant right now.... no don't think that way, don't get your hopes up; almost no one gets pregnant their first try and certainly not me since I had already been told by dr's to try for 6 months and then come see them...but something feels different, maybe I am.....no stop thinking that way...BUT.... This thinking went on for awhile, in fact even while eating the amazing dinner that James prepared I was mindful to only have one glass of wine, just in case. That was a Saturday, Monday the nausea set in and Wednesday, just 4 short days after that bath we got our positive pregnancy test, I was pregnant with Rylan. That's what I thought about this year on Wednesday, we celebrated Valentine’s Day early on James' day off, as I sat in another bath relaxing before another great dinner. Funny how something stay the same when everything else is SO different. This year James made dinner amongst bottle parts, and again I was mindful of how much wine I had but this year it was because I knew that Rylan would still need me that evening. And Rylan joined us at the table, although he fell asleep before we made it to dessert.  I love my life and even though I don't typically like change, all the change that we have been through recently is more than worth it. So happy valentine's day everyone and I wonder where we'll be this time next year.
