A different kind of Valentines Day

So...we had today all planned out. Or, so it seemed. We were going to get cleaning and errands done in the morning and then we were going to our best friends foster son's birthday. Okay, none of that really happened, at least not the way it should have. We both didn't sleep well at all. Something i have really been struggling with for the last few weeks. Rylen woke up too early this morning (5:30) and my lovely hubby let me sleep in till 8. They were both tired when i woke up. We got a call to go for breakfast with Ivons mom and step dad. So, we joined them. This is when my back really started to hurt. I don't have the regular back pain that comes with any pregnancy, i have this beautiful little girl pinching my sciatic nerve. It is at times, excruciatingly painful. I fought through the pain during breakfast, came home, layed Rylen down. Did a little cleaning while Ivon napped. I took some Tylenol (i have to in order to survive) and then i fell asleep on the couch. The boys woke up, Ivon just left me sleeping and they snuck off to Dames party. I was a little upset when i woke up because i was looking forward to going, and then i realized, this is Ivon telling me he loves me. To allow me to rest and take care of me. I never do. I don't like putting myself first, and its not that it bothers me, but my body screams at me to take it easy. And, so i did. They were gone most of the afternoon. I got supper started before they came home, and by this time i could actually move. Rylen got me a really sweet card, and ivon got me beautiful body spray and a nice card. We weren't about doing gifts this year. We are still wanting to buy a big screen TV and get the baby's room complete before she comes. I used to be so materialistic when it came to Valentines day, and God really changed my heart. I didn't want to be that way anymore, and i wasn't one bit disappointed. We made an amazing supper and then played a board game. I took a long hot bath, and now..were off to bed..yes at 9:30pm..were hoping tomorrow we can actually wake up feeling rested. That will be such a nice change:)
