Today is Adam’s third birthday! Technically at this time I was in early labor and not yet in the screaming horrendous pain that came later.
The weird thing is I remember lots of really unpleasant pain, but it doesn’t actually seem like it went on for 2-3 hours. I just remember pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, epidural, slightly less pain, nice hospital person actually connecting epidural, sweet pain relief, C-Section and according to the little slip of paper I found the other day — birth at 19:34 EDT.
OK, so enough about me. I’m just feeling sorry for myself that my little tiny baby is such a big boy now.
So, his royal highness, our benevolent dictator, Prince Adam, heir to the Bloy family fortune, turns 3 today! So far, I can’t complain, he may have his terrible threes mojo on, but it is fairly tolerable compared to what I’ve read about temper tantrums and pre-schoolers.
Lucky us! And tonight, Adam has his first Nitty Gritty birthday party. Should I start collecting the mugs until he turns 21 or would that just be weird and have me end up with a set of 18 mugs I really don’t need?

And, as a birthday present to all of us I heard totday that allegedly we’re supposed to have our house stripped naked and re-sided tomorrow.
I may yet get that siding before our party.
woot!
Of course then we’ll be the grey house with the yellow garage, and the non-matching green fence and trim.
yuck.
