Have you had one yet? If so how was it? Were you depressed, indifferent, excited? If not, are you dreading it? Or excited for it? Post any and all 30th stories here.
I turned 30 today and surprised myself by being very down about it. I didn't think I'd care. Maybe it's because I'm feeling fat and sober. BOO. Leaving my 20s kind of bums me out. 20s were amazing. My sister is 49 and she has told me many times that 40s are the best. But 20s were college and marriage and babies and first home. I feel like 30s are going to be full of losing baby weight, no more pregnancies, bursting at the seams in our increasingly smaller home. Downer huh?! I'm always so positive!!!!
ETA it doesn't help that I've been arranging my life insurance over the last day or 2. Cheerful.
Re: Not so dirty 30
All in all, its just a number. I hope the rest of your birthday and 30th year is happier!

In my 30s I got married, have had my children, and have taken my running to places I never thought possible before. After having DS I went down to my high school weight and got in the best shape of my life (athletically). I've also made some amazing IRL friendships so for me, my 30s have been extremely good.

My 30th is 2 month after baby will be born. I had talked about going to Nashville with SIL and MIL like SIL did last year because it was A-maz-ing. I'm still considering it, but making it more of a shopping trip with the babies (she has a baby again now).
I've always felt young (not immature) until I hit mid twenties and kind of had an omg moment. My "plan" had always been to have 3 kids (3 years apart ish) out by the time I was 30. Ha! I think realizing that I'm hitting 30 with just 1 baby, not living in a huge house, not driving a range rover, not having my dream job is a little jarring. However, I'm incredibly happy with the way my life is now.
IDK, I am sure I will cry about it as it nears.

30 is NBD because you're just 30. When you turn 31, now you're 'in' your 30's. That's when it became dirty to me.
It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I don’t know you. Stranger Danger.
30 was no biggie for me. Now 36 on the other hand. Spent the entire day crying on the couch. I was attempting a career change and had officially given up on motherhood. One month later I had a new job that allows me to work at home and found out I was knocked up. You never know what's around the corner.
