Birthday and Birth days - Thursday, April 28, 2005

Jen Lib and Mim ant Mim's recent wedding

Today I offically turn old. I am over the "hump" on the downhill slide side... eek.

But that aside its funny looking back to birthdays of the past. This time last year I was huge "with child" and we had an excellent cocktail party at our appartment in Singapore. The year before I had just returned (literally by one day) from my 3 month jaunt around the globe. Each year is different and this one even more so because this time I am a Mummy. Maeve gave me lots of cuddles this morning even though she's still a little poorly.

Tonight will be our first official night out alone. Simon's Mum is baby sitting and we are off to dinner. Its amazing to think I haven't spent more than 3 hours away from her since the day she was born. And we certainly haven't spent even ten minutes away from her together. I hope I don't become that stressy Mum that feels the need to ring home every ten minutes to see if she is OK.

So its my Birthday and I was born on this day 36 years ago in a small town in Scotland at 7.30 am in the morning. My Dad wasn't there, he wasn't allowed in in those days (the dark ages!). Today though its very exciting because its soon to be the birthdays of babies of two friends of mine.

At 12 EST we welcome Max and Mary's new little one and at 3pm in Singapore ( almost the same time really) we welcome the new Juniour Ralphsmith to Sarah and Richie. Good luck all. I am thinking of you and thanks so much for the fab birthday presents. I can't wait to meet them both!
