On to the Third Trimester
Today, I am 29 weeks along.
But, enough about the baby. Today, I am 27. Happy birthday to me.
I love my birthday as an adult. As a kid, I was just sick with excitement and then crushed with sadness when it was all over and I had to wait ANOTHER WHOLE YEAR for it to come. Now, a year goes by much faster and I just enjoy my birthday while it’s here, including going out to lunch with some friends, another friend offering to make the dessert of my choice, and a few gifts. It’s just a fun, nice day.
Also, my dad happens to be in town this weekend for work, so that makes it even better.
And we have big dinner plans for this weekend, which I am unreasonably excited about.

And. . . . a couple of other things to share:
- I wrote a post at one of my very favorite parenting blogs, Modern Parents, Messy Kids, about eight of my favorite books for adults.
- On Disney Baby this week – An Easy DIY Quiet Toy, Hiring Our Very First Babysitter, 9 Easy Paper Decorations for a Party, and Themed Baby Names in a Family.
- I love this post about the characteristics of creative people. It’s inspiring to me as both an individual and as a parent. For blogging inspiration and business advice check out the new Alt blog.
- Next week is our second Sisters Share It All post, and we’ll be writing about our current favorite clothing items (and a couple of ways we wear it). Just a heads up if you want to write about the same topic and link up on Tuesday!
Happy birthday! And 29 weeks, woohoo!
Happy birthday! Happy 29 Weeks! Love the books you suggested for adults.
Happy, Happy birthday!
If I were in Texas, I'd take you to lunch, gather all the free birthday items we could, then make you your favorite dessert. Happy birthday Janssen! Oh, and you could be on the cover of maternity magazines!
Happy Birthday! I am glad you got to go out with friends and that Ella cooperated. Birthday joy all around!
I just found your blog and love it! It's so refreshing to find a blog that focuses so much on reading, especially to little ones. I just spent my entire morning going to yard sales, library book sales, and even a free popup library to support DC school librarians and came home with bags of books for my daughter (and 20 weeks along with #2). I'm a new subscriber of yours now and can't wait for more ideas and inspiration… and not of the Pinterest kind (and whew, because I am so over Pinterest).
I found your blog via MPMK and I absolutely loved your list! I live in a small town so only 2 of the books on your list were available, but I checked out What Alice Forgot a few days ago…and I'm almost done! So amazingly good. I'm so happy to have found your blog 🙂
I don't want to mess the karma on your post (27 comments on your 27th birthday!), but I have to say it – Happy Birthday! I hope your day was a fun as it sounded like it would be.
Happy birthday beautiful girl! You look stunning at 29 weeks! I hope year 27 blesses you incredibly and that you had a fantastic day!
Such cute pregnancy photos! Happy birthday!
I am too slow. Happy Birthday (belated)! Hope it was fantastic
Happy birthday! You have the cutest baby bump ever! Thanks so much for linking up to Sunday Style…I am now following your cute blog 🙂

I was at Disneyland celebrating your birthday so didn't get to write until now but happy belated. And seriously? The black dress and gold shoes? So snappy and awesome. Love that outfit.
