BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!

Today is my birthday I am officially 28 on today the 28th of June. So the other day when someone asked my age and I said 29... yeah ooppps officially mind mind is lost....

So my friends are awesome! I have never had girlfriends in packs before. Okay so minus the sorority life... but I was such a boy... As I get older I get more and more girl... I wanted a designer baby bag for my birthday... and I bought shiny shoes. I wish I could be more like my sister I mean I could do shiny! My new favorite color could be shiny, maybe someday I will learn glitter.

So the girl-friends thing, I LOVE IT! We get to do 'girl' things together. Having a baby really brings people together. I love them, especially how supportive everyone is, it makes this a whole lot easier! People wanted to see me and baby all weekend. We went shopping on Saturday then to dinner. Madison was so good all day. Then at night we went to leave the restaurant, and she just was so tired she started crying. It scared me because she NEVER cries. We ended up at a friends house because I was afraid to drive home with her upset. I think she was tired from all the excitement. Even with the random crying experience, I truly was blessed with a great baby.

SO today on my birthday we went to yoga and chocolate. It was like they made this class just for ME on my birthday. We had 2 hours of yoga. It was great yoga followed by deep stretching, then CHOCOLATE! You cannot get any better than that. It sounds silly, but best IDEA ever! I felt so content, happy, euphoric, and excited. I cannot wait for Madee to be old enough to do yoga. Plus this yoga instructor had stupid life stories to share that made him more human that exotic yogi. I loved it!

So my friends are not into yoga and for them to spend the money to come to something I love made me feel so special. We had a great time. They seemed to enjoy themselves. I mean who doesn't love chocolate. We had truffles. They brought presents and bought me a book. The instructor wrote a book on the chakras incorporating yoga with wine and chocolate. I am really excited to read it.

Then we went to the Red Rock Pool to meet up with other friends. My friend was driving while I was pumping milk. It was so funny. I was spilling it everywhere. I knew the small compact extra pump would come in handy, but I had no idea I'd ever pump while someone was driving. It wasn't that bad except when we stopped next to a truck the guys were like WHOA! I guess the hooter-hider (yeah made-up word) wasn't working very well. We got to the garage and I pumped while they talked in the parking lot. I felt so strange pouring out perfectly good milk. So this pump n dump thing. HA! I dumped it out. I contemplated the consequences of dumping my DNA in a parking garage at a Casino. (Welcome to my strange and unusual mind, I mean if someone was murdered in the garage and they found my DNA.... aaaaaa suspect?... okay so officially I had to contemplate how much TV I watched on maternity leave and realized I can dump it out).

As we were walking through the Casino with my many bags my friend said, "I see why new moms never want to go out, it is a lot of work". (Thank you!) After pumping I realized my shirt was now to big. Amazing how that works! Perfect because I fit into my suit. We changed into our suits because my friend got a cabana at the Cherry pool. I loved the pool. I didn't think I would, but I had a lot of fun. It wasn't overly packed but full enough to be fun. I saw a lot of people I knew. I forgot what adult interaction was like... I forgot what the Casino's and CLUB LIFE was like.... WOW I forgot what loud music sounded like.... I forgot what drunk people are like, and even better what smokers are like....

At first the drunk looks and smiles made me think "whoa! I look normal... people that do not know 'aaaa she just had a baby'..." They made me feel great.... They were looking at me not baby... HA! HA! Then I realized all that pumping and spilling back in the car magically showed up on my black shirt in the sun. Breast milk mixed with yoga sweat NOT a good combination... HAHA! I bet they were like 'Breastfeeding mama'.... or drunk chick with drink all over her shirt... so much for feeling normal!

AWESOME birthday!
