~Happy Valentine's Day~

Well, Happy Valentine's Day to you all out there... May your day be filled with love.  Either by someone you are with, a family member or friend... Everyone deserves a bit o' love sometimes ;)

There isn't much going on with me today.  The Hubby has to work this evening, so of course there isn't some fancy dinner that we are going to or anything like that.  Besides the fact that we can go out to dinner any other time of the year and not have to pay the very expensive prices you do tonight... lol.

I did happen to be up at 330am this morning getting something to drink when he came home from work.  He brought in with him my Valentine's gift.  I guess he had been keeping it at work so I wouldn't catch a glimpse of it... Silly boy, only he snoops :)  Well, let me tell you, he sure suprised me this year.

He purchased me this beautiful jewelry box from "Things Remembered".  He said I needed something nice to keep all my 'pretties' in.  LOL.  What a sweet heart.  Plus, he told me that one day, his goal is to fill it up with diamonds.  haha.  Now that is a goal I really don't mind.  He had the plate on top personalized also, with:
                                              Jennifer
                                     Happy Valentine's Day

What a sweet heart!  He actually thought I was expecting some jewelry... Which I wouldn't have minded, but I never expect that.  So, to get a pretty jewelry box is a great suprise.

Now, remember, Rowan and I had built him a Build-A-Bear for Valentine's.  Well, when I found out (not purposely) how much he had spent on me, by looking at our bank statement online, I kinda got upset and I tried to figure out something else to get him besides that.

So, I actually came up with the idea of taking him on a shopping spree.  Now this might sound weird to some of you, but my husband loves to shop and buy clothes.  Before we got together, he didn't bat an eye at spending $25 on two pairs of underwear or $85 on a pair of jeans at a place called Structure (now Express for Men).  Now all he really gets is Gap and Old Navy clothes... So, I decided to treat him to a nice new outfit or two.  He works his butt of soooo much that I think he deserves some nicer looking clothes... Not like there is anything wrong with Gap or Old Navy, believe me... I find them to be just fine and so does he... But sometimes, you just gotta have some nice nice stuff :D

So, tomorrow after my pre-op appointment at the doctors office and after he is done with dog training, just he and I are going to go to lunch and then do some shopping.  My mom is being kind enough to watch Princess Ro for a while so we can do it alone... I don't know how long Rowan would last while her Daddy shops, so it is probably better that she doesn't come.  Heck, I don't know how long I'll be able to last... lol.

Last Monday I was so off on my days that I forgot that Rowan had gymnastics.  Well, I'm determined not to forget tonight.  I have to make sure that I'm out of this house by 525pm to get her little hiny there on time!  She doesn't deserve to miss class again cause of my blondeness... lol.  Plus, we have this Monday and next and then I probably won't be attending her class for a few weeks.  She'll be taken either by my Mom or the Hubby... because I'm sure I won't be up to going and sitting for 50mins right after having Zach.

Oh yes, speaking of that... There is 7 days left for us here as a family of 3!  I truly can't believe that... In another week, I'll be laid up in the hospital having a baby!  Oh goodness, here goes the panic attack :)  LOL.  I just hope I make it to my scheduled date...

I've been feeling pretty achy and painy... Feeling huge and uncomfortable... With contractions here and there.  I just hope that I can hold out and not go into labor on my own.  Cause that will be one scary deal!  I rather just go in to the hospital on the 22nd at 1045am and have them take me off to a room, hook me up to monitors, prep me for surgery, stick a needle in my back to numb me and then take me off to the OR to have the baby!  I don't wanna deal with contractions and wondering if I'm in labor or not... lol.  I know, what a pain I am...

But the countdown is getting really close.  And with the Hubby having only 3 days of work left, it is feeling a whole lot more real!  Oh I can't wait!

Well, I've truly rambled on enough now.  I hope that the Alerts are back up and running sometime soon.  I've been going and checking everyones and checking for comments too... Cause I ain't getting those either!  So, if I've missed your journal, just yell... But not too loudly :D

Have a great Monday... And once again, Happy Valentine's Day!!
