Special Days May 14, 2007
Today is my birthday, my 30th birthday to be exact. It feels kinda weird to not be in my 20’s anymore. Does this mean I have to be a real grown up now?
We don’t really have anything special planned for today, but that’s ok because yesterday was more than special for me. The past few Mother’s Days have really been hard. It was pretty surreal to actually be celebrating it this year. Dan got me some extremely lovely and heartfelt gifts that left me in tears.
I have to admit, though, that even though yesterday was a happy day that it was also impossible not to think about what it took to get to this place, to remember the pain of the past five years. My thoughts were also with all of my friends who are still in the trenches. I want so much for them to be able to celebrate Mother’s Day, too.
All in all, though, it was a very special day that I won’t soon forget. I’m so thankful that I got to cry happy tears instead of sad ones this year.
So, you would think that between yesterday and today I’d be set as far as special days are concerned. Well, there’s one more coming up in the near future. On Wednesday Dan and I will celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary.
I really can’t fully express what all of these special days mean to me. I am just so very grateful to have a wonderful husband and now an amazing son. My heart is so full.

Wow, Happy Mother’s Day, Happy Birthday, and Happy Anniversary. I am so glad that success has brought such happiness. I was a little sad yesterday too, thinking of the baby beginnings that we had lost. But still.. it is different when you are 5 weeks from your due date. I am so happy for you Amanda.
Happy Mother’s Day and happy birthday! I will also wish you an early happy anniversary. I am so glad you got to spend MD as a mom this year. I was grinning like crazy all day yesterday!
hooray for joy, amanda. I’m glad that this is what you get, and I’m delighted (and utterly unsurprised) to hear how much you appreciate it. I hope the joy just keeps on coming.
Wow, you and my best friend are on the same page cosmically or something, today is her 30th birthday and her 5th wedding anniversary is this week. What a special time for you!
I wasn’t a fan of mother’s day even before we started this whole IF fest o’ fun – I think yeah, yeah, every day should be mother’s day – but I think it takes on special meaning when you’ve been trying so hard and so long to be a mother. That first one must be amazing. I’m so happy for you that you finally got to experience it!
Happy Birthday Amanda! And uh, no – you don’t have to be grown up at all!
What a great month for you. Happy Birthday Amanda! I’m so glad you had a good day yesterday. I couldn’t imagine that it would be anything less.
Party, party.
