Happy Valentines Day :)

So Mark and I don't really do Valentines Day.  I think the first year we dated I did a special scavenger hunt and he got me a huge teddy bear (which I got rid of at some point and will never live it down).  Any hoo after that we just did cards and that was about it.  So when we found out that Lanie was due on Feb 14th I thought well kind of corny, but cool because for the next 7 months anytime someone asked me when my due date was I said "Feb 14th "and they said "AWWWW a Valentines Baby".  So I thought well it will give us something to actually celebrate on this day that everyone else goes crazy for and Mark and I really don't.  Ohhhh but our little bug had plans of her own.  She didn't want Feb 14th to be her birthday instead she wanted Feb 18th.  Now I know many people go over their due date, but when your huge, swollen, uncomfortable, and wondering what kind of an alien is growing inside of you that won't come out, five extra days seems like an eternity.  I would hate it when people would say " Oh it will just make it that much more special when she comes she is just taking her time".  Most of the time while people were saying this I was thinking in my head of all the ways I could hurt them! My other favorite was "Well she is just not done cooking", seriously was I making bread or having a baby.  So now when I have friends who are overdue I don't give them you can wait a couple more day lines I keep it real by saying "not fun at all I feel your pain". Our baby girl is almost one and this year seriously has gone by way to fast, but looking back on this Feb 14th I remember sitting on the couch last Feb 14th thinking is this baby ever going to come out!
