Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day 💕

And I Choose you, in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality. I'd find you, and I'd choose you.

I have always loved celebrating! Birthdays, anniversaries, all holidays really any excuse to celebrate this beautiful life! I love making people feel special, picking out gifts, writing in cards, planning parties! All of it! I get it from my amazing mom. She was always so good at making every occasion special and making every holiday fun. If you ever drive past her house she will have decorations for all the holidays, seasons and birthdays. She knows how to celebrate life and how to make the special occasions fun! Thanks mom for passing that love on to me 💕

It is Matt and I's 9th Valentine's Day together! He is always very thoughtful and makes the extra effort to make me feel loved. Since having Lane we have made Valentine's Day more of a family occasion! We usually stay home cook steaks, exchange gifts and enjoy the night as a family! Lane and I are going to decorate the house V Day style to surprise dad when he gets home for work! This year I made him a "man bouquet" full of all of his favourite things! I had lots of fun making it.

I find any occasion or holiday now a days can have so much negative feedback on social media. It makes me sad. Why can't we all just enjoy and celebrate this beautiful life. I get that not everyone is going to enjoy Valentine's Day, especially if they are unhappy in a relationship or single but instead of focusing on that, treat yourself! Get some girl friends together and go for supper, treat yourself to a pedicure, do something to make the day great. Self love is so important.

I'm a firm believer in positive thinking and choosing to see the good. Trust me I have my down days but I try to always chose to see the good and to enjoy this beautiful life as much as I possibly can.

I have hit the 28 weeks Mark! So crazy this baby girl is sure active and I am more often than not uncomfortable lol but I am so excited to be in my third trimester!! This pregnancy is flying by! 12 more weeks! I am feeling good and still enjoying working out. Sleeping is becoming more and more difficult but that's to be expected! We have decided on a name!! And I am putting the finishing touches on her nursery! I'll post pictures once it's done! I am so in love with it! Lane is very anxious to meet her! He loves giving the belly a smooch and calling her by name. ❤ we are all so excited! Lanes newest thing is pretending he's a doctor and trying to find her heart beat lol it's so cute! (Can you tell he comes to all my appointments) Dr Gelber let Lane "help" him find babies heart beat at my last appointment so naturally now Lane thinks he's a doctor and would love to give you a check up! Lol

I mentioned to Matt last week that for my birthday in April I wanted to get away just the two of us before the baby comes. I had already talked to my mom about watching Lane while we went on a weekend "baby-moon" she of course said yes! I was looking on Groupon at Banff, Canmore, Calgary and waterton. I mentioned these places to him and he didn't seem overly enthused "what are we going to do in any of those places you cant ski your pregnant!" Which is true but I more or less just want to relax toddler free, enjoy some one on one time with the hubby, soak in a non interrupted bubble bath and get some reading in!! (How heavenly does that sound!!) before I knew it he was looking into flights, so I quickly googled how far along you can be to fly! It's not recommended after 36 weeks FYI! So we would have to go before my birthday! Then Matt said why don't I take you to see Britney! You've always wanted to see her!! (I have dreamed of this since I was a little girl!) Umm YES PLEASE!! so we are booked in at the cosmopolitan for 3 nights 4 days! We are going to see Britney, lounge pool side, shop and just enjoy each other's company!! I never thought I'd be going to Las Vegas pregnant but I'm not complaining!! I'm excited but what does one wear pregnant in Vegas?! (Lol any and all recommendations are welcomed!) I am feeling extremely spoiled and loved and the countdown is on till the baby moon!!

I hope you all have a fantastic Vday! I hope you all feel special and loved!! Xoxo 😘
