Let's see what sort of google traffic I generate with a title like that!
With the hustle and bustle of everyday life around here, when I finally slowed down for a minute this weekend it hit me: 30. Yup, today is my 30th Birthday. Wow. Just wow.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not upset about this. I couldn't ask for more - I'm married to a man I love and adore, we've got a baby boy on the way, we own a house, everyone is in good health and I've got a fabulous group of friends. But there is something bitter-sweet about saying goodbye to the carefree days of 20 and HELLO to the "responsible" 30s.
What was that about never trusting someone over 30?
Adding to the strangeness/ironicness of the day, I had my 28 week doctors appointment this morning at 8:30am. The Dr. that saw me today was the SAME one who delivered me (well, he couldn't get there in time but his midwife did - he showed up 5 minutes later). So there I was, sitting in his office getting my exam at the EXACT minute I was born 30 years ago. Cool, huh?
We're keeping it low-key tonight - not much you can do when you're 7 months pregnant and exhausted by 6pm. Matt is taking me to dinner at Cracked Pepper, a fabulous little place here in town and I will be crazy and sneak a few sips of wine. We might even stay out after the sun has gone down :).

We share a birthday! I turn 25 today, and I don't feel anything different yet, but the fact that I've now lived through a quarter of a century sounds strange.
Happy birthday to both of us!
Happy Birthday, Delia!
The nurse speaks--Did you tell the Dr about the sugar cravings? Maybe you should have a glucose tolerance test. Just sayin'. Beautiful belly, BTW.
Happy birthday from a geezer. I vaguely remember thirty; 35 years ago. Celebrate and dance--a little--soon there will be not much time for that .
Hi, I was thinking about making some wrist warmers for my etsy shop. http://tylerhandmade.etsy.com and I really like your Wrist warmer pattern? May I have your permission to sell any wrist warmers I make in my shop? (you can put a limit on how many if you'd like) Please email me at madametj AT gmail DOT com. Thank you!
