What's in a number?

Numbers are here for us to keep track of things. This week is my 30 week. Starting with last Friday and ending tomorrow. Last Friday I was officially 30 weeks pregnant. Tomorrow I turn 30 years old. I have had a fun time finding quotes about this milestone and thinking about what it means to me personally.

I remember back in high school thinking that 30 was so OLD. Now that I am here it doesn't feel old at all. In fact in some ways I feel like I was just in high school and now that is 12 years and more behind me. I now feel like at 30 I have so much more life experience, more wisdom, more stress, more fun - just more. I am proud to be 30. It is awesome.

I found a great sale on diapers and went and bought some little ones for the new baby. It made it feel SO real. I keep feeling like it is so far away and yet I only have 10 weeks left. It is fun to think that at 30 weeks pregnant I am so close to having this new life in my family. I am getting so excited.

Here are some of my favorite quotes about turning 30.

"30 is the new 20, unless your 20, then it's the new 40."

"Everything I know I learned after I was thirty."

"Age 30 is a moment of truth when certain realities of life firmly take hold."

"The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits."

Here is to 30 more years! I hope I feel this young at 60.
