Its my birthday and I'll work if I have to - Wednesday, April 28, 2004

Santiago Chile - taken April 2003

This time 35 years ago I arrived. In a tiny, thawing town in Scotland where my parents were both teaching.
Its funny because lately I have been asking my Mum a lot about my birth.

I was her first pregnancy. Her first born child, so now as I face the same things its interesting to hear her perspectives on what it was like "all the way back then"!

It makes this birthday of mine all the more important to me. To imagine what my own birth was like for my Mum and to know it was when I "became" and to know I am soon to do the same for this little person inside me makes me feel all emotional!

Leave me a note in my comments or guestbook if you feel like helping me to mark the day!
