Beautiful Night

Tonight was awesome. Just one of those nights I feel so blessed to be right where I am.

Bryan texted me at about 4:30 to say he didn't feel like cooking and thought we should go out to dinner tonight. (Yes, can I just pause to say how awesome it is that my amazing, servant-hearted husband cooks dinner for our family every night? While watching our daughter? Even if he is not going to be eating it with us?) He asked me what I was craving. (Again, awesome, and SO the right thing to say to a pregnant woman!)

We ended up meeting up in Harvard Square for dinner at Wagamamas. It has been a long time since we have done that and it was so nice! We didn't rush, we just hung together, just the three of us. Dinner was yummy of course, and it was the perfect place for a toddler! After dinner we took a walk and enjoyed the warm evening and the hustle and bustle of the Square, and stopped (at Eden's suggestion, of course) for ice cream. We sat outside Peet's and ate it and it was just so relaxing, so nice, so perfect. Reminded me of a time soon after we found out I was pregnant with Eden that we went ambling around the Square, contemplating how our lives were about to change in a big way and not feeling quite sure we were ready for it. We did a little of that tonight too, talking about how things are so perfect right now and we aren't sure how adding another personality to the mix will change things. But we have the benefit of having been through these feelings before and seeing the flip side, and the flip side totally rocks. (usually).

After we got home and got Miss Eden to bed, I sat to work on crocheting Leah's blanket (more on that later), and she started kicking like crazy. Bryan and I watched my belly move with her kicks and I knew that even though life as a family of four (FOUR!) is all a big question mark, I love this little girl so much already and I honestly can't wait for the day I get to stare into her little eyes and welcome her into our family.
