Really. It’s my birthday. It’s been a decent day.

We spent about 6 hours (a little more?) in the car today. It actually wasn’t terrible. The baby’s bottom molars finally broke through, so he actually slept 8 hours straight last night. (Which means I got about six hours of sleep before he woke up.) I could finally function at 4:30 in the morning. On the drive home, he napped mostly on his regular schedule. And I think he may have only cried for an hour.

Last year, I bought my big fancy camera for my birthday. This year, my husband took my hint (read: he paid attention to the link I not-so-subtly sent him on amazon) and bought me a camera bag. The baby gave me a book, I was spoiled with money, gift cards and food. My mom made lasagna and cake. Ghiradelli chocolate cake. And I may have over half of the cake sitting on my kitchen counter now.

Good thing I took tomorrow off so I can go running. I’ll need it.

Chloe thinks the best part of birthdays is the tissue paper left behind.

And, with that, I think my birthday festivities are coming to an end.

I technically have another hour and 13 minutes until I turn 31. My mom reminded me of that when she called earlier. And, boy, have the phone calls been fun! I have to declare my friend JoDee’s call as the best yet. It was a voicemail message (I was out running) and it involved her class (elementary school – so young kids) singing to me. šŸ™‚

This birthday is going to be somewhat low-key. We’ll celebrate with a lot of friends this weekend, but today is all about being low-key, and enjoying the day. (Sunny and low 70s? Perfect weather!)

Chloe managed to be the first creature to wake me up. I think that’s because she wakes me up (by tapping my face) every morning, and she was a little confused that the alarm wasn’t going off this morning. My husband gave me a book and a gift card….and now I must buy my new running shoes. (I’m thinking of buying the shoes from shoes.com, though, since I can get them cheaper and buying running clothes with the gift card.) A girl has to look good – and spread the money around.

Lunch will be spent with a couple of friends. Dinner with family.

It’s been a good day so far.

  1. Happy Happy Birthday Jaime! I wish this year to bring you all the health and happiness that you deserve!

    Birthdays with family are the best-you can feel the love!

  2. I love low-key birthdays. My last one was spent in labor, so hopefully this one will be less eventful.

    Happy Birthday Jaime! I hope you have a great one! šŸ™‚

  3. Thanks for the birthday comments šŸ™‚

    And, Susan, I agree. Do you think I can count my cat (sleeping) as still life? She’s my favorite photo subject.
