I am a Superhero... or a sidekick, at least. I am so proud of myself today that it compels me to tell the world about it. I'm sure you will all be as unaffected by this news as I was about Tiger Woods' affair, but I'm going to share it anyway:
I finally managed to be a mother and send out birth announcements at the same time. Never mind the fact that my mother had to order them for me and drop them off at my house or that my son is already 8 weeks old. Forget that she ordered them when he was about 2 weeks old and it took me 6 weeks to address them, realize I didn't have any stamps, buy stamps, put them on the envelopes, then miserably realize I had to put the return address on the back as well. And please disregard that someone else had to be watching Punkin and Peach had to be at school for me to pull the final trigger of getting them to the post office.
No, the point is, I sent them out. I probably forgot half of the people I was supposed to send them to and might have the wrong address for a third of the announcements that were sent, but I did it.
And this is an improvement because my four year old daughter's birth announcements are still sitting in a drawer in my office. Would it be poor form to send them out now? They're awfully cute.
Now if I could just manage to shower before noon there'd be no stopping me.

Love it!! Very true...my daughter's "first-birthday/baptism" beautifully photographed thank-you notes are still sitting in my desk drawer. They're only three months shy of being a year late...
I vote that you should feel proud of getting them out, regardless of timing and accuracy! Hopefully the people closest to you already know about the newest addition to your family and have showered you with gifts to welcome him by now anyway.
Send them out. Imagine the smile on peoples face to see them even if it's a year or years later. I love how much I can relate to your stories. Makes us moms realize we are not alone.
