Birthdays birthdays everywhere!!

It's hard to believe that as of a few weeks ago I am "officially" and "technically" IN MY 30S!!! There's no way that happened. None. No way whatsoever. But according to my license and birth certificate and all those other damn pesky docs, I guess it's true. Ugh, that is depressing me. I do not like this new age. I freaked out about turning 30 and everyone told me that once I got over that age I totally would be fine with the years that follow. Well, those people are all liars! haha

But, that being said... Yes, I had a birthday recently. I got to spend the day with my mom and sister and new nephew and my daughter. I was 31 weeks pregnant on my 31st birthday. Fitting, eh? We had lunch at a Mexican restaurant I had never tried before and was pleasantly surprised. For the first time in YEARS I got to have empanadas. I loved those things when I lived in Miami but I haven't had one since then. They were super good. Dinner with the fiance and all our family at another favorite restaurant and this fat preggo was a happy kid! haha It was just nice to spend time with people I care about and get to enjoy an easy night with them.

But honestly, I was so glad to have that day be over. I do not like being reminded that I am a true-blue, full fledged adult now! hah So since that day I have been counting the days until my daughter's birthday. See hers is the one I say kicks off the month long celebration. She will be three years old. THREE!! That's crazy to me.

Since the day after my birthday, I have been planning hers more fully. Getting the food and decorations and games and all that jazz organized so I don't lose my mind... It's not easy trying to coral the troops when you are 7 and a half months pregnant, so I have tons of lists! All of a sudden it's like there's no time. I mean, it's not even possible that her birthday is in just a few days!!

So, all this blabbering. I bet you are wondering what I am grateful for. Truthfully, I'm grateful the focus is off of my birthday and shifted to her!! haha I'm grateful to have a day to celebrate one of the first miracles I've experienced. She is so damn stubborn. So opinionated. So moody and talks back too much. But she's also incredibly smart and caring and amazing. She totally reminds me of those Sour Patch Kids commercials--you know, the candy? Where the "kid" will do something bad and then make it better? Well that's so her some days! She will fight with me when I tell her to pick up her messes and stomp and pout. Then a few minutes later she's hugging me and giving me kisses and telling me she's sorry. Stinkpot!

So yeah. This weekend I will get to have a party for my little girl. After that it is one birthday after another. One party after another. And then, my son will be here. So we will go from birthdays to BIRTH days! haha
