Happy Valentine's Day!

Weird, we've started to think of things as 'last [blank] before baby'. So today was our last Valentine's Day before baby comes. And I must say, Tim outdid himself this year. First, he surprised me with an early present. I came home Friday night to this lovely package
And when I opened it, this was inside!I was truly shocked that he remembered this purse that I've had my eye on. If you know me, you know that I love to shop, but I am also somewhat on the cheap side. I just can't bring myself to buy a purse that costs more than $30 - I'd rather find a cheaper version at TJ Maxx. So that was super sweet of Tim to get it for me! He also informed me that this was a combo valentine's and 'push' gift. For those of you who don't know, a push gift is a gift that the husband gives his pregnant wife after delivery. Yes, it was probably made up by a woman, but hey we do the work, and we deserve something. :)

Tim also made dinner reservations a few weeks in advance and kept the location a surprise. I was definitely impressed when we got out of the car at Arcodoro Pomodoro, one of the best Italian restaurants in town. It was awesome! Cute and quaint inside, with delicious food. We are foodie-wannabes, so we like to try out new and cool sounding foods that we normally only see on Top Chef. I had duck a l'orange and Tim had beef filletta wrapped in panchetta. Yum! We were very happy when we finished the meal.Thank you for indulging me and allowing me to brag a little bit. I feel very lucky to be married to a great husband, and know that he will make an even better dad!
