I'm posting a picture of Turtle on Christmas because the message on his shirt applies to today, too.It's my 40th birthday, and I think a new baby makes a wonderful accessory for the day. When I nurse Turtle, I take off my glasses so I can focus my middle-age eyes on his face. My back has tweaked out more than once from carrying him everywhere. I had horrible hip pain until I realized I was twisting my leg weird with him sleeping beside me.
Having a baby at this age has been different than when Gameboy was born and I was 27. It's totally worth it, though. Let's just hope I can stay in one piece for another year.

happy birthday, Beverly!
I was just shy of 25 when Deryn was born and just shy of 40 when Josie was. Holy cow, having a baby at 25 isn't like 40! Labor and Delivery were way easier but carting a 7 month old around all the doo dah day wears me out now, when it was easy peasy back then!
Let's just hope you can stay in one piece for many years to come! Happy Birthday!! I would have to agree that a baby is a fabulous accessory to your happy day!
So cute! Happy birthday! I have 3 kids almost the same ages (mine are 13,8, and 6) no sweet baby though! I homeschooled mine for 6 yrs then this year all 3 are in school. So strange (for me mostly.)
