Am I really turning 34?

It's hard for me to believe that my 34th birthday is in one week. I'm officially in my mid-30's. That sounds so weird to say. It's not that I'm having a difficult time with aging. It's more so hard to believe how fast the first 34 years have been. I'm turning 34, been married for 3 years, and am expecting my first baby. Wow. It's weird because many times I feel like I was just in high school, so the fact that all this has happened seems odd to me. People have been asking what I'm doing to celebrate my last birthday without baby. Hopefully, being a total bum all day long. Shawn is taking the day off work and so far I know we are going to the movies. Relaxing in an air conditioned movie theater sounds perfect right about now. I'm guessing we'll probably do dinner with the fam that night too. That Sunday evening I'm hanging out with friends at Lucky Strike Bowling. I won two free games for up to 16 people, so I suggested that we redeem that so people aren't out a bunch of money. I know lately our friends have spent a lot of money with all the weddings and bachelor parties this year, as well as our baby shower, so I figured we could all use a free night of bowling. As for what I want for my birthday, another popular question, my best suggestions are stuff for Inara because mommy really doesn't need anything. The only thing I can think of that I want is a gift card for Motherhood Maternity so I can get a couple nursing bras. Also, if people want to make a contribution to Inara's cord blood registry (link in a previous blog), then that would be perfect. Otherwise, at this point in my life, I'm all about my daughter. Besides, I have everything I could possible want or need. A relaxing day and hanging with friends is all I could ask for for my birthday.
