Birthday Moments

I turned 27 today. I've always looked forward to my birthdays before, but this one I kept forgetting. Yesterday my computer reminded me that it was my parents' anniversary. I wished my dad a happy anniversary & he said happy almost birthday. It was like - oh yeah, that's tomorrow. My birthday has always followed my parents' wedding anniversary - I don't know why it slipped my mind this year.

I am quite sure that my forgetfulness has everything to do with this little guy...lack of sleep could be part of it too.


Some birthday moments....

• Eddie spit up right down my shirt - right down it - if I didn't know better I'd say he aimed.
• Eddie had his first boogie today. I was telling Mark about it - Mark thought we should just teach him to pick his nose...
• Audrey had a softball game - so Eddie went to watch her play for the first time. The weather was great - warm with a slight breeze - perfect for watching a ball game.
  

• Em picked up cheesecake for us on her way home from work - she said that everyone needs cake on their birthday. Again I was like - oh yeah, it's my birthday.
  

It was a nice day, it didn't feel like a birthday - and that's fine too. I think because it's just not about me anymore - I'm focused on someone else. And that is wonderful. I've wanted to be a mommy as long as I can remember. My baby is finally here. A real one - not the Cabbage Patch I used to sing to.

I'm sure that next year I will be in the mommy groove & not forget my own birthday - but for this year, I'm very thankful for all the people who remembered for me. :)
