Happy birthday Mommy!
To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else. -Emily Dickinson
I can already tell that I am going to have to make a serious effort if I want to accomplish my resolution to blog every single day! Don’t get me wrong — I love to blog and I’m committed to it, but life definitely gets in the way. It’s amazing how quickly a day flies by with Lucy. Today we did some cleaning up around the house, Hubs took down the Christmas tree (if any fire marshals are reading this, don’t worry — it’s a faux tree from Target), we took a walk to do some errands, feeding and playing with Lucy in between, and boom, it’s 4:30 pm.
My birthday evening ended up being exactly what the doctor ordered. Perfectly low-key, but more fun and festive than the average evening. Lucy was all dressed up in an adorable outfit that one of my friends gave her for Christmas (photo above) and was in a good mood, the food was delicious, the company was great, and as a special treat for myself, I decided to have my first glass of wine since I found out I was pregnant in March. (I confess that I felt slightly buzzed after one small glass! Can you say lightweight?) Since I’m pumping milk to feed Lucy (yet another future blog topic — I swear I’m going to get to all these at some point, dear readers!) I’m not going to resume drinking except for special occasions, but it was nice to be able to enjoy it last night.
Normally I have misgivings about my birthday, but this year I feel for the most part very content with where I’m at. Bring it on, 33!
Loving Lucy
