I was telling my midwife today about my "labor team" that I have assembled. How Tom, Erika & Mom each have their areas of focus. She was really enthusiastic and then asked me if I was a Scorpio.

That conversation also reminded me that my birthday is Sat. Which I have kind of forgotten because I will be wrapped up in Holly's wedding in Chicago. I will be 32 years old. By this time in my mom's life she had three children ages 12, 8 & 7. That blows my mind.

Happy birthday for Saturday.
When my mum was my age (25) she had been married for 8 years, had a 5 year old and had given birth to a boy that would have been 3. I can relate totally to how you feel!
Oh I can relate by my age 19 my mum had a 6th month old and a 1 and a half year old! Both boys! I cannot imagine me being a mum at this age...God! ****shivers****
Happy Birthday Saturday! :D
