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.
