Today is my birthday and I'm 29 and holding! That's right I'm the female version of Benjamin Buttons. Unlike my graceful blogsister Andrea, I'm not going down without a fight LOL. And speaking of fights, the battle of the bulge has me in a headlock. The above photo was taken a few short months ago and now I couldn't get in that dress with a vat of vaseline and a crowbar. Soldier on I will, undaunted to the land of health & size 10 jeans. Anybody out there done the Dr. Siegel Cookie Diet???
Hubby bought me the much longed for and coveted Itouch. Ahhhhh, I can't tell you how much I adore this little machine. Now I have loads of video and pics of Gracie to show around at work. I know all of my coworkers will be so pleased;). It also has amazing apps available that can be downloaded to make it even more incredible. I am in luvvvvvvvv.
Honestly though every birthday from here on out will be filled with unequaled joy and beauty because God saw fit to let me be Gracie's momma. I am still amazed by His grace because I have certainly done nothing in my life to warrant this gift. When I look in my baby girl's face sometimes I'm overcome with so much love and emotion that it's just overwhelming. She makes me want to be a better me.

Happy Birthday Terrie!
I hope that you had a super fantastic day with your hubby and Gracie! Dont worry about the dress, you always look fabulous!
My hubby is an Aries..his birthday is today. I didnt know your birthdays were so close. Keep being fabulous!
I am also an Aries w/a birthday on the way, but I think Terrie is a day short of the fabulous zodiac sign...LOL

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I had a great birthday this year! Hmmmm this rollback to 29 ain't too bad:)
Happy belated, Terrie! I have a milestone coming up later this year, and am thinking about subscribing to your "29 and holding" philosophy!
We are really looking forward to seeing you again in May!!!
