Thirty years ago today I became a mama for the second time. My baby is THIRTY...
WOW.
I was twenty one and a half years old with a 14 month old, a newborn and two c~sections in 14 months.
WOW.
How did I do it?
I can't remember...
YOUTH ROCKS.

Somehow we just do it as moms! Mine are 20 months apart and both c-sections too. I was working full time with both of them. Somehow we had a normal life and I kept my sanity. Happy Bday to your "baby."
WOW! I think you should post some of those photos! :-)
Yes thank goodness for youth! We keep our grandson Saturday for a sleepover, 15 months, and everytime he goes home I wonder how it did it full time three times. LOL
Yep, that's why we have our children when we are young! You have held up pretty good considering.....he he

I can relate...I had my first two 16 months apart!
Young and a crazy amount of energy. It goes by so fast.
This is what everyone tells you at the time!
I'm right there with you. Two kids by 21, my oldest is 42. How did we do it?
Mothers are the real "force to be reckoned with!" I'm not surprised at how strong and courageous you were back then...because that amazing part of you continues to shine through still today! My oldest will be 21 when I'm fifty. (This year!) My youngest will be 18. Wish I could say we planned it all, but honestly it was all in God's hands...I like His timing so much better. He definitely knew what He was doing! Pat yourself on the back girlfriend....YOU ARE ONE AMAZING WOMAN AND MOTHER! Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration!
Congratulations to you for being a wonderful Mom and Happy Birthday to your son! Each age brings its gifts and blessings...and now, lucky you... you have those beautiful grandbabies! :)
Holy Moly, I cant imagine that. I had my first baby at 32...it was a c-section from hell... I'll spare you the details,but I had to wait 4 years between children...both times I felt like I'd been hit by a bus...hmmm maybe I shoulda started earlier he he.
Hey Shelley, my oldest son turned thirty today too. And boy does it make me feel old.hehe
Hey sweet friend, Happy Birthday to your baby!!!

Wow! I have no idea how any of us mothers are sane!! But it's all worth it. Congratulations on mothering beautifully for 30+ years. =)

Girl....I would say you should have been "Queen for the Day"...or at least 14 months! You did get it right though....YOUTH, is the key word!! Have a great weekend!

Time flies so fast sometimes. I had three babies in 3 1/2 years. I will always remember a certain trip to the grocery store when I was 9 months pregnant and had my 15 month old and 3 year old in tow. I got a lot of double takes from onlookers. Now my babies are in their late twenties, best of friends and establishing families and lives for themselves. I never thought twice about working 12 hour nite nursing shifts and not having daycare. I certainly couldn't do it now!
Hope you are enjoying your adult children as much as I am enjoying mine! :)
Yes... our youngest Daughter turns 30 this year also... how time flies! My Mantra now seems to be: Growing old is a privilege not afforded to many. Helps me to realize that aging gracefully is indeed a Gift even though, as you say, Youth definitely rocks! *wink*

Impossible, I say!
After all, YOU are not a day over 30! ;-)
XOXO,
Anne
oh you just sent chills down my spine.
Mine was a c-section and 3 months later hysterectomy, i look back and think I never wanna have surgery again.
It is amazing how our bodies handle things like this. My friend just had a emergency c-section this weekend and now 4 days later she sounds like nothing ever happened, ahh, to be in your 20's again. LOL
Sending Happy Bday wishes!
Too bad youth rocks and we don't enjoy it enough when we got it.
