Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day, also known as my birthday around here. B invited my closest friends over for breakfast and birthday cake, which was super fun! It was a low-key morning of good food and good friends, and Matthew thoroughly enjoyed himself with all the big kids that came by. You would have thought it was his birthday party, he was so excited! Every time the doorbell rang, he’d run to the door screaming, “Who is it?” So fun! After everyone left, Matthew took an easy, 2.5 hour nap before an early dinner and errands. It was a simple, perfect way to spend my 37th birthday! Matthew’s awesome gift to me was an on-time bed time with no fuss. Of course, he woke up unusually early at 4:50 this morning, but that was today and not yesterday. 😉

Hi, there, I’m Courtney. I never planned to stay home with my kids, but I got sucked into motherhood when my first baby came into our lives after years of infertility and multiple rounds of IVF. His brother followed closely behind, something we didn’t plan on after having such a rough road with achieving parenthood the first time around. My boys are IVF cycle twins, conceived on the same day but born two years and one day apart (they were both transferred on the same day in October, but with two years between them). My boys are the best of friends and my husband is a terrific husband, father, and most importantly… friend. He fully supported my desire to stay home (“I just wanted it to be your idea and not mine, I totally want you to stay home and raise our kids!”) and encourages me in everything I do.
I am a lover of projects, spreadsheets, fitness, healthy cooking and eating, crafts, selling my stuff on FB (HA!), and the outdoors. If I’m active, I’m pretty darn happy!

Happy Birthday friend!!! ❤
He looks SO MUCH like B in this pic! Holy crap!

Thank you! And yes, I know. He looks nothing like me 😉

Glad you had such a wonderful birthday! And I like the positive spin on him waking up at 4:50 this morning. 🙂
March 23, 2013 at 9:47 pm
Thanks! That day (4:50 wakeup) ended up not being so bad! The next day though was brutal! SO TIRED!

Happy belated birthday!
M looks so grown up in this photo. Wow! What a big boy.
March 23, 2013 at 9:48 pm
Thanks! And yeah – he’s growing up! It’s sort of sad 😦

I am so glad that you had a nice, relaxing birthday!! 🙂 You deserved it! What a lovely photo of the two of you. A very happy birthday to you!!
(I think Matthew called Lids to wake her up at 5:30am this morning.. I know that isn’t as early but very unlike her. Ugg.. I’m sleepy!!)
March 23, 2013 at 9:49 pm
Thank you!
And I’m sorry about Matthew’s phone call to Lids. I’ve told him in the past that when he must get up that early, that he needs to leave the rest of his friends out of it!

Happy birthday! So weird, I know at least five people with birthdays on St. Patrick’s day… clearly June is a popular month for procreation!
March 23, 2013 at 9:50 pm
Yes – I think fertile people love procreating in June. HA!
Thanks!

Thank you! It took a few tries to get that photo… he’s not so cooperative these days 😉
