Numbers

Posted on | January 27, 2009 | 18 Comments

Yesterday was my birthday. I am 31. This terrifies me somewhat. Friday is the end of my work week–and the beginning of my leave. This excites me. Next Tuesday I’ll be 37 weeks. Full term. Not sure what to think about this. I am on auto-pilot until then. Wishing I could just hit fast forward.

    I had my first at 30 and my second (and last) at 33. I’m 46 now. Some days I feel ancient, others I’m 20 again.

    Looking back, though, my 30s were a magical time. Enjoy them.

    Isn’t it funny how we wish we could hit fast forward until we suddenly wish we could slow things down to half speed?

    I love the way we know exactly what week it is when we’re pregnant. I can’t think of any other time that I’ve known how many weeks (and days) I was into something except when I was pregnant. OK, except for the first few weeks with a new babe, who manages to fast forward into months and years before we know it! Enjoy this time — and you look beautiful!

    Happy belated birthday! You look beautiful with that baby tummy. I wish that sweet babe all the time it needs to brew and grow – but not too much time, of course.

    You are 367 days older than I am. I should have known you are an Aquarius. Happy birthday. Hope it was a good one.

    Look at that beautiful belly! Congrats on being done with work AND so close to delivery. I’m excited to see what Bean’s brother is like.
