Birthday Milestones (for the Mommas)

NenaMarie84

For those who have upcoming milestone birthdays (25, 30, 40, whatever it may be...) do you have anything planned? Or how did you celebrate those big ones? I have the 3-0 coming up in four weeks and would like to do something for it but neither friends nor family have asked or tried to plan anything. Not sure if I should invite a bunch of girls out for a girls night/supper or wait to see if they have something planned. I have a feeling I'll be disappointed if I wait around for the latter.

FTR, I'm far from one of those people that wants to be the center of attention and have a big party thrown. But I figured since I haven't gone out or done much of anything since getting pregnant over a year ago, it might be nice to use my bday as a reason to get some friends together.

My husband and I are planning a vacation to Hawaii next year.  I am hoping that we go the month of my 30th birthday   About 14 of my good friends are also turning 30 in the next year, so I know there will be lots of parties.  I like the idea of going on vacation with just the 3 of us for my birthday and then maybe have dinner with my parents and sister when we get back. 

I like your idea of planning a girls night.  You deserve it!

I just turned 30 and went to NYC with a friend. The kids stayed home with my H and I had a great time!

Funny enough @sugarland726 I used to say when I turned 30 I wanted a weekend away in NYC. Not in the budget this year. Maybe in 10 years for the next big milestone!

I turned 30 last week. I'm still waiting for a card. Birthdays have never been big in my husbands family, so he rarely does anything for mine. I was on a work trip, so I did get to stay up obnoxiously late and drink.

I turn 30 next year. I am not sure what will be done, but I would love to go on a trip with my friends. Most of us will be turning 30 in 2015.

I am planning a vegas trip for my 30 next year. Not that I want to be the center of attention but I like celebrating (partying) and always try to make birthdays (everyone's) special. We are even holding off ttgp until after that trip :-)

It's not a milestone for me this year, but I'm going to start dropping hints to my husband that I want to go somewhere for my birthday this year. It will be good timing -- Brennon will be 11 months and we're going to start trying for #2 shortly thereafter. No clue where I want to go, though. It'll be winter and mid-December. Sigh.

Not technically a milestone bday, but I turn 29 in 9 days and I'm not looking forward to it being my last year I can say that I'm in my 20's:(

I turn 29 today and I have told everyone it is my first 29th birthday. My 20's were the best. I got my degree, got married, and had my babies. I don't want be be older

For my 30th (2012), I didn't want a thing bc I was sad to leave my 20's behind. My H planned a girls night out with dinner and drinks at my favorite restaurant. There were 10 of us. 5 girls were pregnant. I was one of them, but didn't know I was. I was 6 weeks along there. Found out 4 days later. I only had 1 martini. Ended up losing that baby and I blamed myself for the longest time bc I lost that baby saying it was the martini. I know I didn't do anything wrong, but I still had guilt. Sorry! I feel like Rachel Dratch in the Debbie Downer skits...ha

I turned 25 yesterday and it was celebrated at home with both my family and DH's family with a steak and lobster dinner. That's all I wanted, this year as we are building a garage so a trip isn't something I would like us to spend money on but hopefully for my 30th or DH's 30th we will go somewhere!
