We had such a blast this weekend celebrating Valentines day and spending time as a family. It proves to us for sure that Bailey does not need to be babysat by anyone for us to get the time we need as a couple. Which brings me to something funny Trav said last night. He said "You know there has been only one time that Bailey was out of either of our sight, do you remember when that was"? Of course I do, it was in the hospital and we let our nurse take her for a few hours so we could get some much needed rest! Other than that she has never been our of our sight literally. I personally do not even feel comfortable with someone taking her out of the room I am in while holding her, it makes me sick! lol Trav understands this so he has my back. I try not to even think about it, because we both have a pact, until we are both completely comfortable with something it doesnt happen. So if he is ok with a babysitter and I am not, it is a no go until I am period. Funny he brought that up last night though. Everyone had been asking us if we were going on a date for V-day. Sure we had a date after Bailey was in bed in our living room! Another thing that I do to keep cost down in our home is taking Bailey's pictures myself instead of going to the studio where we always spend atleast 100 every time. Friday we had a Valentines photoshoot for Daddy and the pics came out so cute. B is such a ham. We will be having our first real family photos taken professionally though right before her first bday. Her birthday is starting to come together a little bit. We have decided to have it here, and just keep the guest list small. We are toying with the idea of renting a bounce house because that will keep the kids occupide and not running around the house. It has been fun planning her party, but honestly Trav is NO help in the plans. He says everything sounds good! lol My mom is helping me out with it. It is a big deal to me, and will be fun for B. Today she is 10 months old, and we just cannot believe it. What an awesome 10 months it has been though. We love our little girl to bits, and I look forward to trying for baby #2 in April if that is what I choose. I had such bad all day sickness with B, I wanted to wait to get preggo until after her first bday. I would love to give Bailey someone to play with, and we want to expand our family. We had a long talk over the weekend about moving, and right now even if we sold our home it would be at a loss because our home is actually worth less right now than what we paid for it. The only way we will move which I hope is still going to happen is to buy a second home and rent this one out until the economy recovers. Trav likes Arizona because it is a comfort zone for him, but I am hating AZ. We always find a compromise, so maybe we will end up closer than the east coast. I am going to plan a vacation to Idaho for us so he can have the chance to check it out, hang out with Jessicas husband and get a feel for what life would be like there. I talk to Trav about Jess ALL the time and he gets tired of hearing about her. I have told him he would hear alot less if I was her neighbor and got to see her all day. She is such a genuine person, I really miss having her around. I sent her care package out with tons of goodies for her family and the new little girl she had. So our Valentines celebration at home was perfect. Trav is so great and always knows exactly what I need. He bought me a new huge crockpot that has a touch screen on it! Leave it to Trav to do research and find the coolest one on the market! lol It is sooo neat, and cannot wait to use it. He also bought more fabric and stuff for my business, and ok's the purchase of a new juicer for our family. So far the best one we found was 200.00 but totally worth it. Of course my favorite thing always is the card. He said I am amazing and he is the luckiest man in the world to have someone like me! He went out and bought Bailey her first Vday stuff (a growling lion, and a card) so cute. Bailey bought daddy a new wallet, flip flops, undies, gloves, and long underwear for work. I bought him some stuff for after hours if you know what I mean! lol We planned to have our dinner after Bailey went to bed so I made her dinner, and we played with her and put her down. Trav grilled up our Filets, and I made cheese fondue and chocolate covered strawberries. We had my favorite wine, and the dinner was delicious! Somehow I got suckered into watching a slam dunk contest. The night was beautiful. We mesh so well! Yesterday we did a little shopping, and then came home to BBQ again. *Note to self.......do not eat new york strip steaks the night after eating filet mignon.......no bueno! We have a busy week, as Trav has his nephew tonight and my moms bday is this week, and she is on vacation so I hope to get some time with her. Happy Monday!
