So far, there have been fewer tears than on my last birthday with a newborn. But the sleep deprivation has definitely caught up with me. This morning I had a small meltdown (alone) after K yelled at me. Can you imagine if I cried every time he got mad at me? There wouldn't be enough tissues in all the Costcos in the world. And I actually cried in the car when that song that goes, "It just takes some time, everything will be all right" came on. I felt a little ridiculous.
Anyway, I managed to get X in the car and meet my lovely husband for lunch. It's a sunny, warm day, the first in a long time. And look at this cute baby:
So, overall, maybe not my most relaxing birthday, but I can't complain. Besides, I'm on maternity leave. All the time-to-myself things I usually like to do on my birthday, like visit a bookstore, get some ice cream, take a long afternoon walk? For the next four and half months, I can do that stuff ANY DAY. Maternity leave is like one long birthday present.
Happy Birthday!! Maternity leave really is awesome, isn't it? Almost makes me question whether having a baby in law school was such a good deal... ;) Hope you have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Enjoy your day! (And yes, you have one stinkin' adorable child....two, actually.)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Hope it's a wonderful one (all maternity leave long)!
ReplyDeleteHappy real birthday! You had me fooled earlier...hehe. Ah, one maternity leave ending and another barely begun. Enjoy the rest of your time off to the fullest!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! When I'm overtired I cry at the most ridiculous songs. That one definitely :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy (belated) birthday! Hope it was a good one.
ReplyDeleteWhen I started out reading this I thought, "Didn't I JUST wish her a happy birthday?" and I remembered the FB mishap with your bdate. So really, Happy Birthday! Sorry you started with a mini meltdown, but I hope it keeps getting better. Visiting a bookstore for hours--yes!
