Two things I craved the most while pregnant, but couldn’t eat or drink was sushi and beer. Last night, Ben and I were finally able to carve out some quiet time and celebrate the birth of our littlest love together. How did we celebrate? A movie and some indulging in our favorite sushi and some (non-alcoholic) beer. I like to start off slowly.
Okay, maybe I threw in some macarons and triple chocolate bundt cake in for dessert. This was a celebration after all!
Ben’s mom left yesterday and we are finally feeling the reality of having four kids. We were out and about at doctor visits and errands yesterday and it is no easy feat getting all the kids in and out of the house and in the car. Craziness I tell you! I am sure there will soon be a time when we will have to go eat at a restaurant with all of them and that no doubt will be insane as well. Going from three to four definitely ain’t easy, but it is quadruple the joy!
so glad that you and ben were able to spend some time together! i bet it's hectic with 4 little ones!
Ah! You look beautiful, mama. Congrats on having number four. I can't wait to watch little Glow grow up too. Yum! Sushi! xo, rv

what a sweet date night! I know that those are going to be the two things I def. crave when I have a baby!
how cute! i never want to be pregnant if i can't have sushi or beer for nine months! ;]
my 4th made me insane 🙂
also made me much better at rolling with it, praying, coloring, leaving dishes in the sink, relying on God's plan instead of my own, and simply being thankful for making it through each day.
four rocks
now I look at my 4 and think…”this is ALL we have???”
that is when my husband gets nervous
I might have some beer and sushi tonight to celebrate too 🙂

Oh yes! I celebrated the births of my two sweeties with sushi too! I also totally understand your craving for beer, I'm still breast feedings so I still have to do without it. But I already know the taste of every non alcoholic you can get here in Vienna!
All the best to you!

What does non-alcoholic beer taste like? Actually, what does beer taste like?
O Ruby – I'm sooo jealous of you right now! I've been craving sushi like a mad-woman and I'm only 15 weeks in.

My husband and I took months to be able to enjoy one meal together, just us both! And with only one kiddo!!
hugs from Brazil!
Love this post!!!!! Brings back so many memories of the times when me and my husband were finally able to sneak away for a quiet dinner alone… When we had our 4th baby girl, we were alittle overwhelmed at first, but we made it and it became less stressful and more enjoyable as time went by!!!!! How could it not with four Beautiful girls to love on everyday!!!! You have such Beautiful girls, and I am so happy for you!!!! Life could not possibly get any better than this!!!!! Sending you all of the best wishes from NC!!!!!!
Moments like those with your husband are so special! It is a blessing to see how you and your husband value your time together.
