Happy Birthday To Me!

In just an hour, I am going to be 34 years old.  I can't believe that I am going to be that old.  I think my age has really been on my mind as I am finally pregnant and going to be a mom in just 6 months.  Thinking ahead I hope that I will live long enough to be a grandma and my child doesn't have to endure what Chris and I have on the infertility path.  I know that is a long ways down the road, but I am really feeling old with this birthday.  Then tonight at dinner at the Outback having one of my former students as our waitress who was in my student teaching kindergarten class who is now 19, just made me gag.  I honestly can't believe how much I have done and accomplished in my professional career and my life as a wife.  I am now in my 13th year of teaching and we just celebrated our 8th year of marriage.  When you look at all of that, it makes me smile and proud of myself.  In just 6 months I am going to add another big accomplishment to my life that being becoming a mom and a parent.  I can't wait.  I know that this is going to be the best year of my life in so many ways.  Next year at this time I will be 35 and I can't wait to see how I am feeling and thinking.  Happy 34th Birthday To Me!

Happy 34th birthday to you! I turned 34 last month. Although, it seems old, it really isn't. Also, think about all the things you accomplished before then that would have been difficult with a family. I know there are women who have babies when they're young, who may regret later on that they didn't take opportunities to travel/study when they were "free". At least that's what some of my friends and family have told me. Personally, I am glad I didn't have babies when I was young. At 34, I feel I am more stable and mature to handle raising a family. But then again, each to their own, right? In the meantime, enjoy your pregnancy, and being a mom soon. :)
