I had a great birthday!  First of all, Miss M slept all night on my birthday eve.  She had been sleeping through the night almost every night until she was sick recently, and ever since then it’s been hit or miss.  Then, she slept in until 7am!  She’s slept until 7:30 or so a few days this past week since the time sprung forward, but of course, both Sundays since then she’s been up at 6:30am.  So, sleeping after 7am was a real treat for me.  I woke up, on my own, and lounged in bed, opened presents in bed, ate some vegan chocolate in bed, and then went in to find a smiling baby girl. R took her to daycare, and I got a massage.  Then I met up with a friend of mine, who recently became a personal style consultant, for lunch and hours of shopping! We were very successful!  Finally, my little family and I went to Wood ‘n Tap for dinner and had ice cream cake for dessert.  It was a wonderful day!

Oh, and now that I am a mom, I understand all my mom went through to get me here.  So, I sent her flowers to thank her for birthing me.  (I also stole this idea from a good friend of mine who sends her mom flowers every year on her birthday – thanks Jenna).

Here’s a sneak peek at some of my new outfits – thanks to the Grandmas and Grandpas for making this shopping experience possible!

And oh my goodness, check out these shoes – both pairs are super comfortable!
