Kristen's POV:

On my birthday, Rob woke me up with breakfast in bed. He surprised me with a maternity shoot we would do together next week, which I was very excited about. All his gifts were so sweet, I once again felt like I didn't deserve him. He got me a painting with our baby's actual heartbeat drawn onto it, that we immediately hung up in our bedroom. That topped the matching-tattoos-idea I had planned for his birthday next month (we'd both get an 'N' tattooed on the same spot).. I'm still gonna do it, though. I'm sure he'll love it.
We went out with some friends later that day to celebrate and quickly stopped by my parents' place in the afternoon to collect some hugs before we went back home. We cooked together as we had decided to keep it easy today, considering my state. After dinner, Rob surprised me with the most beautiful gift I had ever gotten in my life: he pulled out his guitar and sang me a song he had written for me. Needless to say, I was ugly-crying before the second verse ended:

from the day we met i liked the effect that you had on my eyes

you gave me love, gave me faith
you showed me a place
where i could breathe in serenity and peace

there was a time when i let you go
allowed myself to be swayed and pulled
many years have gone by
though sure i'd lost you
swore i'd be fine
till i realised you still loved me
then i knew our time would come
after all i never forgot you

they told us we were young and dumb
that we didn't know 'bout love

but when i feel my heart go dark inside
only you know how to bring it back to life

every morning that i wake now
you fill my heart with love
there's a sweetness
just the same as before

and when the evening pulls the sun down as the day is almost through
oh the whole world may be sleeping
but my only world is you

if i look back on the moments
how they all played their part
there is meaning to be found
in the still of the dark

daylight burns away
tomorrow people change
but i will know you always

i know that time moves on
but some things don't change
i still fall in love with you every time i see your eyes
it takes me back to the first time i saw you smile
now look at all the things we've become but
i'll never stop getting butterflies
every time i look into your eyes
you won't stop running through my mind
for the rest of both our lives

heaven's here, it's right where you're standing
you are my sun
brought light where there was none

heaven's here, it's right where you're standingyou are my sunbrought light where there was none
