My birthday was wonderful thankyouverymuch. All of your sweet wishes here, on twitter & facebook sure made this 36 year old smile. I am a lucky duck and that’s for certain.
The day before my birthday, I saw the cardiologist about my right bundle branch block diagnosis freakout. I figured, if I was going to die sooner rather than later, I’d like to know so I can plan accordingly. As it turns out, this doctor said the exact thing mine did a few weeks ago,“You’re fine. I have the same condition myself.”
Geez, with all of us right bundle branch blockers running around, I was thinking maybe we should start a club or something. The cardiologist was really nice, though, and took the time to explain everything so I didn’t feel any apprehension about getting on roller coasters or standing next to running microwaves. I’m all set!
Again, my birthday was wonderful. Friends from far and wide joined forces to make it so. And when my mother called to give me an update on the baby, her new grandson, it took a while but she too wished me a happy birthday. Regretfully, she had to bow out of the party, though. The baby needed her. I started to tell her about the cardiologist but she had to go…the baby was crying.
Later, I recounted the conversation to my husband who said, “Kim, she has a baby in her life. You’re dead to her now.”
I’m sure that’s not the case even though I’ve only been able to reach her voice mail today. Hmmmmm… My birthday, my heart…whatever. She’s got a baby now.
At least my husband still loves me.
Speaking of babies, you have to read the tale about what my brother in law did while my sister was in labor. It is a birth story that will be retold through the ages in my family. Forever and ever or until the universe gets him back.

Ha Ha!! Kim who??? Let’s drag your grandmother into this too: “I can’t believe you couldn’t have at least called me this week – obviously the baby is more important to you right now!” I will make this up to you! (not necessarily the grandmother but you!) – we’ll have a special momma/daughter birthday celebration very soon. Right now, I’m headed to bed for some S-l-e-e-p!!!
Hopefully this thing with your mother will pass quickly, I am assuming the birth of a grandchild has put her in some kind of weird hormonal time warp.
Happy belated birthday though, sorry I missed the announcement.
You’re never dead to me, lady. I can’t believe I’m just learning about this heart condition now (I go to the beach for a week and you go all medical on me!) xxoo
Oh my, that story about your brother in law… LOL! Glad you had a fantastic birthday and that you have a husband with great taste in flowers!
Glad you had a great birthday ! The party was a blast!
So..when are you going to share little Mcbaby’s name with us?
Does it possibly have Ronald in there somewhere? LOL!
You know you COULD have another baby to get back in the attention action
Erica, his name is Connor. Sorry…did I not mention that little detail? Ack!
Sorry, sweetie – I’ll have to read this one later. The neighbor just brought their brand new baby home and I hear it calling me!
Just kidding – you are WAY more important. Well, that and Todd told me I’m not allowed near the baby!
ah {hugs}
Babies aren’t all they’re cracked up to be – as soon as it hurls or poops, she’ll be back. Right now he still smells all baby powder… just wait… Those nasty smelly poopy diapers – or sweaty little boy smells – will bring her right back to you, honey!!
Those flowers are beautiful! How exciting your nephew has a birthday right around yours.
Don’t worry, the babyness will wear off when your mom is all “wait, I already raised kids. I’m going home to SLEEP now. And call my favorite daughter Kim!
