30 is the New...

...something. I turned the big 3-0 yesterday. Lots of people asked me if I was having a hard time coming to terms with it, or could I believe it. Part of me doesn't care, but part of me is realizing how temporary and fleeting LIFE is. I think that's a feeling that many people have after they have children. Your time is now limited, there are parameters set on your life. Before children, it was just you, but bringing a child into the world automatically puts you on some sort of radar, stopwatch, ticking time clock, whatever. I don't know how to explain it. You're in this place where your parents are getting older, your children are getting older, but you can't be getting older, right? It's like, you never want to be without your parents and you never want your children to be without you. Perspective.

Deep thoughts aside, we went out to breakfast yesterday at my favorite breakfast place, Crispy Waffle, and I finally had my #1 pregnancy craving...get ready for it...corned beef hash. With ketchup. Pretty sure I grossed out everyone at the table, but who's going to chastise a pregnant lady on her birthday?
