Today is my not so little guy’s birthday and mine is not very far off. This is a milestone year for both of us and we sure are glad to have made it this far without incident (well mostly that he’s made it this far without incide
nt and that I’ve made it this far at all).
I’ve always told his older brothers that he is so much younger because I was waiting for them to be old enough to be my babysitters; the reality is that somewhere in my early thirties I was betrayed by my biological clock which began ticking again after laying dormant for over a decade! In retrospect i must have been plumb crazy to want to repeat the 12 hours of labor I had with my first born or the 3 hours of non-stop-please-let-me-out-of-this-car pain that I had with my second . But there I was, sniffling when the Pampers commercial came on TV and staring at other people’s babies with longing.
Although his Daddy and I were very happy to discover that I had become accidentally-on-purpose preggers , I discovered around month 7 that the memories of my previous two births had come flooding back. I was filled with fear and trepidation at the prospect of my own labor day (which coincidentally was scheduled for around Labor Day). But it all worked out, he was breech and my OB decided to do a C-Section. This was good for the kiddo who [his Daddy claims] was born with a perfectly shaped head, and great for me because I got to pick his birthday – of course I made sure that I pushed it out just far enough that he’d be Virgo like his Mama:)
Now that The Boy (that’s what his Daddy calls him) is almost fully grown and I’m …older than I was last year, I’d like to involve my readers and social media friends and family in the celebration (yeah this was all about you, not about us). For the next week (August 30th to September 7th), purchase any item in my shop and I will refund 33% of the purchase price (excluding shipping of course). This includes any items that I add to the shop over the next week, but does not include custom items (sorry). To receive the discount please convo me with the words “Happy Birthday to you and Uwe” or just do a message to seller when you place your order.
As for the title of this post – my husband will be happy to tell you that when I am not busy interrupting him or cutting him off in mid-sentence, I have the bad habit of saying “blah blah blah and I’ll tell you why…” Now hurry on over to Etsy and help us celebrate our birthdays! September 7th will be here before you know it
