This Valentine’s Day…

My heart is full, more than I ever thought was possible, and I’m pretty sure it’s about to burst. Any minute.

My littlest Valentine is fifteen days old, weighs in at 4 pounds 7 ounces, and has been eating like a champ. We hope to have him home in a week or so.

My wonderful husband made me a mix CD. How he had time with everything going on is beyond me, but it’s just perfect—romance old school style. (And just like Christmas and his recent birthday, I dropped the ball. I will have to make it up to him soon.) We’ll spend a cozy evening in the NICU—nowhere else we’d rather be right now.

And! I got my wedding ring on my (still slightly swollen) finger for the first time in months. All is right with the world.
