Happy Birthday to Me
Today is my birthday - I'm 28!! And I am very blessed. I have a wonderful husband, a beautiful daughter and a loving family. I am healthy and happy. The sun has been shining a lot lately (which is saying something for GR), the weather is warming up (it's been in the 40's - heat wave! LOL!), and my parents are in town and are taking us to the Bonefish Grill tonight. AND AND AND..... I am going on vacation in 2 weeks, so I needed to see if I have any clothes that fit that I can wear. I did not expect anything to fit at all, and that I would have to buy an "interim" wardrobe. Today was D-day, since I want to go shopping this weekend with birthday money. And a ton of my things fit! A TON! I had no idea that anything would work at all, so needless to say, I am thrilled. Now, instead of buying an interim wardrobe, I'm able to buy things that will work for now and in the future! It doesn't get much better than that! I keep measurements on my body every so often, and I took them this morning. I'm about the same in every area (belly, legs, bootie, etc) that I was the summer of 2006 (so the summer before I got pregnant). Not to say that my body is the same as before, but in some ways, it is! It's exciting!! :)
I've been thinking lately about time. When Kayla was first born, we measured time in days (she's 2 days old, etc). Then after about 14 days, it seemed silly to continue this, so we moved to weeks... and after about 10 weeks of that, it seemed silly to continue that, so we moved to months - although I use 1/2 months too (she's 4 1/2 months, etc). I remember when I was 5 3/4 year old. I'm not sure at what point you move from using fraction of years to just being the same age for the whole year. None the less, I am 28 today, and Kayla is 7 months. But more to come on her later!!
