The One with My Quarter-Century Birthday & Halfway There!


Friday, May 28, 2010

I'm a quarter-century old today. 25 years young. Dang I'm getting up there!
As I mentioned yesterday, my parents gave us home video DVDs for Christmas and I treasure them.

It's so fun to look back at myself as a youngster and see how I've grown up. It's fun to watch my parents' parenting skillz. I could learn a lesson or two. So anyways, for anyone who's interested in what young Paige looked and acted like, feast your eyes upon these short videos:

Here I am showing off what's inside the drawers of my bunk bed:
This is me acting like a cornball smiling, primping, and priming in the mirrors of the barbershop while my little brother was getting his hair cut:
To this day my dad still makes me sing this song for him ("I have a little bag. I carry it down the street, I knock on someone's door and I shout, 'trick or treat!'"):
This was supposed to be used as blackmail, but I've already suckered Chris into marrying me, so now it's just self inflicted embarrassment (PS - I got braces when I was 8 years old to fix the mess you see here):
My worst birthday EVER:
:)

I would make one of those "25 things to do when I'm 25" lists, but I'm one of those types of people that get super stressed out if I don't cross everything off my lists and I don't want to be held accountable for that. Instead, I want to just have fun and enjoy everything that is about to come.

So not only is today my birthday, but it also just so happens to be the exact halfway mark through my pregnancy. 20 weeks down, 20 to go! Of all the 365 days of the year, my birthday is the halfway point. How coincidental/fortuitous! Sometimes I think it's gone by super fast, other times super slow, but most of the time I just wish time would go by faster! All-in-all, this pregnancy has been pretty smooth sailing. Sure the nausea/throwing up bit was no fun, and I'm seriously ready for these zits to go away, and headaches aren't my favorite, but really, all of that doesn't even compare to the sheer excitement I feel 24/7. This week I had the big ultrasound scan and found out we're having a boy. I'll keep the evidence private for Fox's sake, but here are a couple other pics of our growing boy:
Here's his cute wittle spine (this picture fascinates me!):

Here's one of his cute wittle feetsies:

And here's his cute wittle face and button nose. This picture is my favorite thing in the entire world:

This is all so new and fun and scary and emotional and exciting at the same time!

I'll end this post with some pics of me at 25 years young and 20 weeks along:
