On April 30th, 1979 my mom gave birth to me; that was the beginning of my life as Carmen Angélica Peregrina Carcach... now 32 years later and an extra last name I've realized that a lot has changed and a lot is still the same.
Changes... well I moved far far away 'cause I married a redhead whose mother tongue is pretty uncommon, I live in a 3 bedroom apartment on the 10th floor on a town with a funny name that my mom can't pronounce (Uithoorn), I've seen places I used to dream of when I was little... *sighs*
Still the same... I'm still grumpy, tend to say what I think or feel (yup good and/or bad), I'm complicated but easy going =P, stubborn & impatient...
I guess at the end, today what matters are the reasons for me to feel so happy; this birthday was much more special than any other and it all comes down to one reason, my Blueberry, my daughter...
Things might change or stay the same, but one thing is for sure, the love that I have for this wonderful little person growing inside of me goes beyond my imagination. Words can't express how much I love her father and knowing she's part of both of us, part of the love we both share for one another makes it even better.
This year has been wonderful, I might be older, I might be complicated and grumpy but I'm one of the happiest pregnant women on Earth at this very moment 'cause while I'm typing my daughter is letting me know she's there.
