Happy Birthday to Me!

If you did not know, today (July 29th) is my 30th birthday. A year ago, I had informed John that he owes me a big fancy party, on account of, I threw him a fancy party for his 30th birthday a few years ago. However, a few weeks after having Cora, I realized that I no longer cared about having a celebration in honor of this milestone. I really only care about getting a shower in each day, and, if I'm really lucky, a nap. Did you know that newborns do as they please?! Cora seems to think she runs the show!?! So, there was really no way to have a huge celebration. In true newborn fashion, Cora decided to give me a birthday present. Our first sleepless night. . . and by sleepless, I mean totally sleepless. I nursed her ALL night. The upside was that I learned how to use all the On-Demand features of our cable service. And, I got a birthday dr. pepper float at 5:30 in the morning. I don't know if that made up for the lack of sleep, but it sure made a difference having something to watch and something tasty to drink!
