Yep, I said it. Later this week I will turn 3-oh. Which for the time being is how I would like it to be referred to… I’m not that anxious about it but I didn’t imagine being 27 weeks pregnant in the middle of the summer celebrating my entry into a whole new decade.
My birthday starts today… I am a huge fan of the week long birthday. Tonight my best friend is taking me to see melissa f.errick open for ani!!! I’m pretty psyched. I haven’t seen ani in years. It is out of town and I have permission to sleep on the way back so I am pretty elated. Thursday A’s mom is coming into town and I am taking a 1/2 day so we can go shopping for my birthday… Then, Friday (the actual day) we are going to my favorite veggie restaurant in Richmond for dinner and then Saturday we are having a shindig at the house. I can’t believe this will be my last birthday without a baby… its strange. I feel a smidge jealous about it – like I really want to enjoy it because its the last one… but in my heart I know its only the beginning.
Third Trimester
Depending on the book maybe we are there… maybe its next week. Regardless we are feeling a bit overwhelemed at the amount of stuff left to do. We finally got the nursery emptied out and A began working on some plaster repair – delightful old houses.. She is doing good work and in the long run it will be great that it is done. I think she is planning to paint in two weeks and then I can get set to organize. I’m getting more hungry and more sleepy – so I’m feeling the extra weight. Suki-dot has started getting much more active and pretty crazy with the kicking. The kind of kicks that will absolutely startle me. I’m sure the next few weeks (10 – 15) will march by quickly. Ready or not – here we come…

Hey-I didn’t realize our birthdays were so close together! 3-oh is weird and surreal, but great. (At least so far, I’ve only been there for 3 days!)

Happy Birthday week! I turned thirty earlier this year and it was pretty anti-climatic but generally quite positive. I hope you have a glorious time celebrating.

Happy birthday week! I am a huge fan of the birthday week, or the birthday fortnight. I like a long birthday, and for 3-Oh should be extra long. Drag it out. It’s fun, and it sounds like you have the perfect sort of week planned.

July is a good time for birthdays…. though this year I’m limiting mine to a weekend celebration rather than a whole week!
Your birthday plans sound amazing and I’m very jealous. My big 30 wasn’t nearly so exciting, and now feels forever ago though only just less than a year! I just remember feeling so disgruntled that I wasn’t yet pregnant…. but now a year later, I’m about to enter the third trimester right along with you!
So yay for third trimester mama birthdays.
And it really does feel like time is getting short doesn’t it…. is freaky. So much to do…. and like you, all I want to do is eat and sleep!
