Precisely nine years ago I was given the rather exciting news that I was expecting a little girl. It was Valentines Day 2013 and both my husband and I were in shock at the prospect of having ‘one of each’. Our then three-year-old wasn’t quite as elated nor excited as we were – he was too busy getting to grips with the idea that what he’d first expecting to be a little brother was in fact a little sister…
Thankfully J soon warmed to the idea of having a little sister and fast forward nine years, they are now the most incredible, intelligent, loving children I could have ever wished for.
Though most associate Valentines Day with the idea of romance, and spending time with their partners, I, on the other hand, celebrate valentines a day early as my husband and I got together on the 13th of February thus we swap cards and gifts then, it’s our very own Valentines Day! As for the official Valentines Day – I will forever look to my little lady as ‘my little valentine’ as she was the biggest surprise that Cupid has ever delivered.
Happy Valentines Day!

Oh this is just lovely! I remember so clearly having the scans with both of ours although we didn’t find out the gender. Such magic moments x
Yeh it was 🙂
How lovely that you have your own traditions. We don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day at all in our house!
Ahhhh Happy Valentines Day. My eldest was after a sister and he was less than impressed at the thought of a brother!!
