v-day surprise


so unfortunately I had to work this valentine's day weekend and was extremely bummed to miss the day with Leith. But, as he always does, Leith had a surprise up his sleeve for me and ended up making this Valentines day one to remember. Sunday night he picked me up from work and instead of coming home we went to the Hyatt resort in Newport Beach for the night. Then today we enjoyed a late breakfast and spent the day walking down Main Street and enjoying a nice walk on the beach. It was so beautiful and sunny today! We ended the night with a gondola ride in Newport Beach harbor (this was our first date 6 years ago) and then enjoyed a lovely beach front dinner at Newport Landing, which is where we had dinner on our first date 6 years ago! I feel so extremely grateful to have the husband that I do and am so overwhelmed by the blessings God has given us. Needless to say, we had a great time and are enjoying every minute of our time together until Isaiah comes! I am 23 weeks now and Isaiah is growing steadily and kicking quite a bit now (especially after meals...like father like son!)

round two

So about 2 weeks ago Leith was supposed to have his tonsils removed after several years of chronic strep and sleepless nights due to insane amounts of snoring. Unfortunately, it had rained pretty badly in San Diego that week and this Thursday morning was no different. So there we were, Leith in his hospital gown, cap, and booties with his IV steadily running and the power went out! Thankfully the backup generator came on but was not enough to handle the start of Leith's surgery so we were very politely sent home...with his tonsils. Thanks to Leith's diligent calls and a special request email to the surgeon, yesterday those dreadful tonsils were removed! Round two was successful! He is home recovering now, enjoying his percocet-induced naps followed by endless bowls of jello, raman soup, and cans of protein shakes. Hopefully his recovery is quick and as pain free as possible. Thanks to all of you who prayed for him yesterday as he went under the knife. His beloved tonsils are at kaiser where they belong. Victory!
