I remember several years ago, someone told me that her 30th birthday wasn't a big deal because she already basically "dealt with" it on her 29th. I thought that was weird at the time, but I totally get it now. Last year, it was all "omg I'm almost 30." But I've been thinking of myself as 30 for a while now, and it's not shocking anymore. Sometimes I literally forgot I hadn't actually turned 30 yet. Tomorrow I turn 30, and I'll still be in the same awesome life. I love where I am, what I'm doing, with whom I'm doing it, and where things seem to be going. I love my life.
A little less than a week ago, my morning sickness finally started to subside. I won't say I'm "back to normal" (I'm not even sure that's possible… I'm thinking that pregnancy and motherhood creates a whole new normal and you never go back to the previous one) but I'm finally able to enjoy myself again and I'm really looking forward to meeting and raising this new human being.
