Mommy's Birthday

I have a lot of things to celebrate and one of them is bringing life to someone I can truly call my own...

I remember having a phone conversation with melds on my birhtday last year. Me and Kurt are having dinner at our favorite place, Tony Roma's. Why is this conversation significant? Read the transcript and see (DISCLAIMER: This is from memory...and I just gave birth...ok? heheh! Oh, and also, this has been translated into English!)

MELDS: Happy birthday Jocy! What are you doing today?
ME: We're having dinner at Tony Roma's...you know...our favorite place too!
MELDS: So what are you having?
ME: Some baby backs and some margaritas...Kurt is having twice as much!
MELDS: So what's his gift?
ME: Nothing yet...I think he'll give it tonight!
MELDS: I bet it's something he'll do tonight!
ME: Hahaha! Oh, by the way? Have you talked to Mhar recently? She already have a baby! MELDS: I heard about that. Are you gonna be next???
ME: Yeah...we'll make one tonight! (I said that jokingly!)

And the rest was history! 10 months after that, I had Kirstin! Thanks Melds for giving me the idea! Hahaha! Good thing, it turned out well for us...or I would never forgive you! *just kidding* Going back to the present, I'm now 27 and I've grown so much. I really feel that I have matured overnight since I know that parenting is a huge responsibility and one can't screw it up! Can you imagine how stressful that is? But like anything else, it comes with a reward and just being able to hug my baby, cuddle her, kiss her and make her smile, makes it all worth it...believe me!

Though we go out for dinner on many occassions, we chose to stay at home and celebrate my birthday quietly as a family! That choice, for me, is one of the most special things that Kurt and I have done. Everything was perfect! We had dinner by candlelight...with stuffed portabello mushrooms for the appetizer, Lasagna and Baked Ziti for the main dish and cheesecake for dessert. We dressed up and took some pictures! It was simple but sweet!
