Today I am 31 years old. I started this TTC journey when I was 27. It took the next 3 and a half years to get to here:
This is me today at 36 weeks.
Today I celebrate all my blessings. A life filled with love, tenderness and respect. This is what I get from those around me and I endeavour to give to them too. I am so very grateful and so very thankful. Especially for the greatest blessing of all - this beautiful life growing inside of me with every breath I take. I can't wait to meet you Pebbles.
Tonight Mr. T is taking me and my folks to a very fancy restaurant. I am so looking forward to it. The chance to dress up! I haven't done that in a while and after baby is here I'm sure we won't be going out to fancy restaurants anytime soon. Since I am on my strict pregnancy diet for a gentle birth I am avoiding wheat, sugar and puddings - so we picked a Thai restaurant. I figured that way I would be safe. It's not like they serve you bread rolls on the side! And instead of a cake this year Mr.T has organized a tropical fruit salad. We'll save the cake until after Pebbles is born. Then I really will be able to have my cake AND eat it!
Happy birthday!! What a great blessing to celebrate your day end the cute bump! I hope you have a fabulous time!!
ReplyDeleteDamn, girl, you look great! Happy birthday, and happy 36 weeks too. Enjoy your dinner out, and that cake will taste even better when Pebbles in napping in your arms.
ReplyDeleteHappy happy birthday my sweet friend! Thanks for the belly pic, I love seeing them! Yes it took a long time, but I hope you can now see that when you wrote that post about the fact that you really really wanted to be a mom by the time you were 30 wasn't really about being a mom. You will be fantastic, at 31 or 36 (like I am!) in fact I believe our journey makes us who we are and what we have. The time for Pebbles is now, that's all that matters! Enjoy the party!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! You're looking tiny and awesome. Hope the Thai food was great. Glad all's going so well.
ReplyDeleteWhen will you post more photos of the house? I'd love to see how it's turned out now that you got rid of the crappy contractors and got things finished off...
Happy Belated Birthday! You look absolutely beautiful. Can't believe she'll be here soon!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday (very belatedly!), Clare. The best birthday present ever is just around the corner. So glad.
