I told Jay to give me the most attractive face he could muster.
then I said, no, be serious! and he gives me this face.
shirt and top thanks to Miccimo.
and I look like I’m 4’9″ tall. this is what you get when your almost-foot-taller husband takes pictures of you!
We went to Chef’s Table for our anniversary dinner date. And you know what we realized? We are both not really a huge fan of fancy restaurants. With Jay, it’s always because of the portion size(he wants quality and quantity), and me? I would rather eat a steak burrito at Chitpotle! Don’t even get me started about how much I love that place. It’s the only thing I crave deeply with this pregnancy! We love nice buffets(the Roof Restaurant and the Bellagio buffet are our favorite) and maybe because we just haven’t found one nice restaurant that impressed us with their food? Anyway, the receptionist asked us if we were celebrating our 1st anniversary together. She was surprised to hear it was our 6th anniversary and expecting our 3rd child. We hardly can’t believe it either!
Jay took a close-up shot of me with the food at the restaurant but when I looked at the picture, I just started laughing because my face looked so full and round. I’ve gained the most weight with this pregnancy than my other two, but I actually don’t care and I’m actually embracing it. Why does the society think it’s a bad thing to gain weight and get bigger during pregnancy? That’s what our bodies are suppose to do! I’m grateful I’m healthy and the baby is growing healthy and strong. It’s nothing short of a miracle that another human being is growing inside of me and my body provides protection, nourishment, and everything necessary to make him form into a complete human being.
I was talking to my friend yesterday and we were telling each other of our body changes after having our babies and we were complaining a little bit about how unfair it is since we give up and sacrifice so much to have a baby and to be a mother, and then on top of that, our bodies go downhill from there! I told her if it was my say, I would have all the mother’s bodies be even better than before their pregnancy! Then my friend told me that maybe God made it that way to stop the selfish women from having babies(I’m not saying if you don’t have children, you are selfish by any means). I thought more about that and maybe that’s true. It’s definitely better for our bodies to downhill than to have a selfish women become mothers for the wrong motive. I guess God is wise after all. π And I will embrace and love my body after this baby is born no matter what it might look like because it’s this body that formed and created three wonderful children.

My husband and I are the same way with dinners. We could really care less about going some place fancy. I'm like you, I would take chipotle in a heartbeat! Happy anniversary!

Dh and I went to Chef's table a few years back. We ate, paid, and then drove to Taco Bell π

LOVE that handbag! What brand is it?
I feel the same way about fancy restaurants – the portion size is just too small for me to enjoy it as much as more "regular" fare.
Sarah says
Haha, that's awesome, sounds like we'd get a long real well! π
Sarah says

Sarah says

I agree with the fancy dinners, I love having a romantic home cooked meal! Bit hard with little kids around though π But would much rather go somewhere yummy and enjoyable than fancy and to expensive.
Sarah says
Amen! π
