Today is my 30th birthday.
Funny how 30 seems so old when you're a kid and yet you really don't feel particularly old when you actually hit the milestone.
I was kinda freaked out when I turned 29, but this year I'm ready for it. I can totally handle turning 30.
I've survived my first ER trip as a parent.
I have faced the terror of maternity clothes and navigated the dark mysteries of the nursing bra.
I've made a tentative peace with my career suicide.
I've somewhat successfully dealt with sickness, fits, poop and everything else my two year has thrown at me.
My body has already gone through the frightening changes that come with bearing two children.
Turning 30 doesn't scare me at this point. (And really, who has the time to worry about a little thing like a birthday with a newborn?)
At least my birthday means I get cake (one that my lovely husband baked for me) and presents.
So 30's here I come. I hope you're ready for me because I've got big plans for you.

Happy Birthday! For what it's worth, I can tell you that my 30s were way better than my 20s.
Happy Birthday! 30 was hard for me but 31+ got better and better.
Happy belated birthday! (Sorry I am a day late). How was the cake? Everything you thought it would be? I hope so!
Happy Birthday! I don't think 30 carries the same baggage for guys. Glad yours is treating you well.
happy happy day! i can just bet that this next decade will bring blessing and joys that you never thought to think of! bask in the glow of those candles... you deserve to be celebrated!
happy birthday! i'm turning 30 in 3 weeks. i heard 30s were the new 20s.
Happy Birthday!!And Happy New Year!
Happy Birthday!!! Homemade cakes are the best dessert ever! :) I'm glad you're good with 30. I went through a crisis when I turned. :(
Happy Birthday!! Hope this year is all you can hope for!!
My fondest memories of living and traveling started at 30, no I face 50 in another year, so to you the best!

Have a terrific birthday. :)
Happy Birthday! I have a kid older than you, and the other one will be thirty in August! Women in their 30's and 40's are in their prime- remember that, and enjoy your new milestone, it's not a mill stone!
I agree with you, 30 is pretty darn good.
Happy Birthday!
Aw, Happy Birthday!! My son-in-law turns 30 this year and my daughter(25) is giving him heck already! I turned 55, but that's the new 30, right? Hahahaha
Happy BIrthday! 30 is great and things just get better from here on in. Promise.
Hope you find time to do at least a little celebrating while you mind the wee one.
Best wishes for an adventure-filled year ahead!
Happy Belated birthday.
I loved my 30's. Next month, I will be 40. And I am just starting to get this inkling of slight unease. But it will be fine...
hope your cake was tasty!
Happy birthday! I already feel old and tired, so I doubt that turning 30 will be significant for me LOL. I hope you eat lots of cake and get in a special birthday nap =)
Happy (late) birthday!!
I'm just impressed your husband baked...
Happy Belated Birthday! Remember 30 is apparently the new 20! I'm so happy I'm only 23 again but wiser and with more experience ;)
I'm glad you found my blog so I could find yours! ox
Happy Birthday to you! I can remember looking at 30....once! Now I am looking at 50 in Feb. Enjoy, it flys by.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Happy Birthday! I'm getting ready to turn the big "4-0"!!! Aaahhhh!
Happy Happy 30th Birthday!
You Deserve The Best!
Happy belated birthday!! You've accomplished way more than me (I'm about to be 28 and nowhere near having kids, etc). Sounds like you're ready for your 30s... woohoo!
Glad you found my blog btw, I'm liking yours. :)
Hauoli La Hanau!!
You'll love 30. I know you will :)
happy birthday!
30 isn't that traumatic. it just sounds like it will be!
Happy 30 years and one day old! You are such a young thing:))
Happy birthday!!! :)
Happy Birthday! Sounds like you are having a great day!
I wish I was as happy as you being 44. I loved turning 30. My 30's was a very good decade for me. Happy Birthday.
Oh My just catching up congrats on your new bundle of joy! She is a beauty!
I almost hated to comment because you were at '30' before mine and there was something sort of lovely and right about that - but then I felt sad that I wouldn't be wishing you a Happy Birthday...so...Happy Birthday!!!
I've survived 3 trips to the ER so far!
And have "somewhat successfully" dealt with Momness overall so far too.
Bodies can not only "snap back" but come out even better than before -- I've seen it -- not in me, 'cause I'm not that committed to exercise, :) but some gals look better than ever post-babies, some of them after FOUR babies!!!
You are young. You are beautiful.
I had Kelly when I was 38!! Life just gets better and better, so don't worry a thing, my deah.
Careers come and go, if you loved yours, you will again, and if you have desires for a career other than that -- you will go for it one day. Life is full of treasures now, and waiting.
For now, enjoy momdom and...
TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES!!!!
Happy birthday, K!

Happy 30!
I remember like it was 17 years ago.
I wish you many more happy years and experiences!
And welcome to your new baby!! Love,
Elise
I know I've posted already but wanted to let you know that here's a belated birthday present:

Happy Birthday! Your 30's will fly by unfortunately and before you know it you will be 40!!!!! Sorry. Couldn't help myself.
Happy Belated Birthday!!
Hope the cake was delish!
30's aren't so bad. Until you are approaching 36....*sob*
Happy Birthday. I promise that being thirty-something is awesome. I am looking forward to conquering my forties head on. Grace not included!
Welcome to the thirties! It's really not that bad, actually kind of nice that you're not considered a "kid" anymore and not considered middle-aged either. But I'm 33, so I've had time to come to terms with that..
I thought the 30s were great! It is freeing because you lose so many of those fears you had when you were in your 20s (like career suicide). Happy (Belated) Birthday!
Happy belated! 30 was nothing to me either, 26 was the hard one since I was on the upside of 20.
HOpe you had a great day..
Happy Birthday a few days late! My 30's were the best. Hope yours are, too!
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
