So, I came downstairs this morning and rushed to the secret hiding place where I had ferreted away DH’s Valentine’s gift and card. Unfortunately, DH was standing right in front of it. And he blanched a little when he saw me, asking if I’d seen anything in the living room. I’d rushed right past my present, it seemed. So he headed back into the living room, and I slyly grabbed his gift and joined him.
There, on the mantelpiece and on the armoire, were two vases bursting with yellow roses. And two cards. One said “to my wife” but it was the other that floored me. “To Mommy” it said. While I love my husband like crazy, the love I feel for my son right now is just so overwhelming and delicious, and to get a card like that — via DH, who sees how deeply I feel — just threw me over the edge. I burst out crying before I even got the teddy bear-shaped card out of the envelope. It’s been seven months now so I’m not so hormonal… just deeply sentimental and deeply in love with both of my Valentines.
P.S. This has been on my mind all day but I can’t blog about it, or even talk about it, anywhere else because it’s so outrageously sappy that I’m embarrassed.

That’s sooooo sweet! What a cutie…well, both of them are. I got your email, and I swear I’ll write back ~ thanks for thinking of me! Everything sounds great (I’d love an excuse to dust off the bike!), and I wanted to also see if you guys want to come over for dinner before your business trip…oh, wait! Is that off now????
Happy Valentine’s Day!!
