My birthday
Posted By pamelamyers on September 15, 2009
Well, today was my 40th birthday. It’s hard for me to believe sometimes….I really don’t feel like a 40 year old. Although, what does being 40 feel like, exactly? I can tell you what I always thought it would feel like — horrible. But it’s really not. And I do think a huge part of that is because of Sam. How can I not like where my life is now when I have her? Mark and I have such a great life, and it’s only about to get even better. I think being 40 can make you feel really old if you let it, but I won’t. I can’t. I will have a little munchkin to run around with and that takes some energy! And I think that seeing everything through her eyes, experiencing life with her, playing, coloring, having tea parties, enjoying her imagination, all of that will only help to keep us young. I just hope that Sam doesn’t mind having an “older” mom. Mark thinks I am crazy for thinking so when these days, so many first time moms are my age. He’s right, of course. What I do know is that I am determined that my 40s are going to be the best decade of my life, because I have so much to look forward to.
Speaking of which….I had my appointment with Dr. Bailey today. Everything is going well, but not much has changed. I am still not dilated any more than I was last week, but he still thinks I could go into labor on my own. But just in case, we have a date! If Sam doesn’t make her appearance before then, I am scheduled to be induced on Wednesday, September 23! Whoo hoo! There is a light at the end of the never ending tunnel!
