Ok, so I am 31 years old today... I have not had as much trouble with this birthday as I did last year on my 30th, but I am feeling a little worried about continuing to get older. I really want to have children, I always wanted to have a big family, and that is most likely not going to happen, but I still have time to have at least 1 or 2, but every day and week that passes the chance of having kids dwindles. I have been on the pill for about 9 years and it could take years to get pregnant after coming off the pill and I am worried that we are letting the chance to have children pass us by. I think that my husband feels that they is plenty of time to do everything that we want to do, and for him he does. I know that there are lots of women who get pregnant in their 40's, and that is great, but I don't want to be retiring at the same time my children are heading into college!!
I am also having a family dinner thing tonight. I know that my family loves me and wants to celebrate with me, but I don't feel like making a big deal about this, it is just a reminder that time is passing, and eggs are dying....
Smug-Hub is being so sweet, he took me to dinner last night and then took me to Circuit City and got me a "pre-birthday" gift, of a DVD player with up converting to 720p/1080P, so my current DVD's will play with better quality on are huge projection TV. I am excited to hook it up tonight!!
The bathroom sink has been leaking from the hot water faucet since Friday. I have been calling and leavng messages for the maint. guy and the landlord. I finally got a call back from the landload yesterday and the plumber wil be here this afternoon. I still have to leave work early to let him in, but I don't want to be at work any longer than I have to be, so that will be fine.
Happy Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteDon't stress about getting preggers...it will happen...and it will be soon and you will be ready!
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI turned 30 two months after we got married. Because the wedding festivities lasted about a month (wedding, rest week, honeymoon, rest-week, big wedding reception in pittsburgh) I was happy to not do a damn thing to celebrate. I also did not stress at all about getting older, though I think it traumatized my mom a bit to have a daughter that age... ;)
Megan - Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteEvil - My mom did the same thing!! Here I was stressing about turning 30 and she pipes up that she can't believe that she is old enough to have a kid that is so old!! Totally made me feel worse!
