Happy Birthday to Me

Today at 10:20am I entered this world. I am 35 years old today and in the 15th week of my pregnancy. This is exactly where I want to be right now. Sitting at my desk at work, eating my cheese sandwich, looking down at myself, and seeing a round "torpedo" bump sticking out of my body, holding a life I pray is still growing strong.

We spent the weekend at a bed & breakfast in upstate New York surrounded by the Hudson River and weeping willows. It was peaceful, quiet, and truly relaxing. The weather was crisp and cool and we spent every free moment snuggling.

Tonight David will cook for me and we'll stay in to celebrate my birthday. He sent me a vase full of gorgeous orchids and even though it's fall outside, my office smells like a spring garden.

So this is my life-- right now, on my 35th birthday. I am carrying the most precious gift I could have asked for, and I truly feel grateful for this.

Please G-d keep our little strong and healthy and growing...
