double sweets
we didn't really do anything for valentine's day. we figured pretty much the most romantic thing you can do together is conceive a child, and we've already done that. hallelujah!!! all of life is a celebration in that case.
with a baby in your belly, it all feels double sweet.
speaking of doubles, here are my two valentine's day outfits.
this first one for work centered around some new favorites. again, the stretch pant queen! teeny all the way over in new zealand, gifted me a pair of 80s leggings, my choice, from etsy! what a sweetie. these heart-print beauties arrived just in time for the big v-day.
i wore them with a gorgeous pink beaded gypsy scarf from missa, and a pretty white tunic that came in my first-ever package, way-back-when, from milla.
look at these babies. that's what i'm talking about! in my next few posts i'll show the cute ones i got from anne and missa too.
we went out to dinner and i wanted to get a teensy bit dressed up, even though the "fancy" restaurant where we were going to eat ended up being closed on tuesdays, (who's closed on valentine's day?!) so we went to our usual mexican food joint.
anyway, i put on this dress which is much more clingy than my usual, and asked darin, truly...what do you think? too tight? too much? he was like, nah, not if you want to show off that cute pregnant belly!
it was really popping out that eve. sometimes it's bigger than others, so weird. i LOVE to see the changes.
thank you sweet girls!
later we chilled at home, watched a movie called Meek's Cutoff directed by Kelly Reichardt which i highly recommend and had popcorn with nutrional yeast, our favorite. watching a great film together is one of the best romantic activities, really, cause you get to engage your whole heart and brain.
doesn't hurt when the imagery is this beautiful either.
hope you all had a sweetness-filled day.

I wanted to thank you for the comment you left on my most recent blog post. You're wonderful straight through.

what did you think of meek's? i really loved it, especially the end, the way i thought the whole movie was about something else, and then the end really illuminates the core of the story. the wikipedia entry tells of their fate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meek_Cutoff.
valentine's day would seem to be YOUR day, you are such a lover of life. xoxox
i totally agree with brigit. show off that belly!
i'll have to check out this movie, it looks like one we'd like.
The belly is looking adorable btw!
Thank you also Heather for your response--regarding my coffee inquiry. I find what you said so fascinating (and reassuring)! I'd love to hear more about some of the health/emotional experiences you are having. I'm not sure when D. and I will begin trying, but I am having lots of "those" feelings... so I think soon. I'd love to have some wisdom of a lovely lady such as yourself to help prepare me for what might come. My Mom is absolutely no help, i was her fourth and from what she says everything was either easy or a blur :) ha ha!
We've had Meek's Cutoff floating around in our watch instantly que for a little while now, time to watch it I think! Lucas and I love watching movie's together too, hence the humongous tv ;)
