My Baby is 3!

Yesterday my Baby girl turned 3. I cant believe it how has it been 3 years already. I think back to the day she was born. We knew Ella Bella would be our last. So we decided to have a huge surprise and not find out the gender. Let me rephrase myself nick decided this and made me go along against my will:) But I will tell you it really was super fabulous. So the whole pregnancy we knew it would be Ella Victoria if she was a girl, Ella after nicks grandma and Victoria after his mom. We never really could come up with a boy name we both loved. I wanted to name him miles, I was a few weeks pregnant with Ella when I ran my first marathon and I did not know it. But nick did not like that. We must of just know we would not need a boy name. After a scary experience with my epidural during Brady. I decided to go ALL Natural. It was really a great experience, I am so happy I did it even if it was my last one. My labor was quick and easy, except for the last 10 minutes, The nurse squeezed face and told me to climb back down the bed and push a couple more pushes and I would be done. When Ella came out she had the cutest little drama queen baby cry I had ever heard and the doctor said This is one pretty baby boy! I was thrilled deep down I really really wanted another girl and she was all mine. It was fabulous With in 20 minutes of having her I felt great I could have cleaned my house. It takes along time for my epidurals to wear off. So it was so great to be done and feeling fabulous. She was beautiful and we were so happy to have her, Back to her 3rd Birthday.

Yaya dropped off a bunch of balloons the night before. She woke up to balloons, her favorite thing. I was tired from working late and staying up grocery shopping, preparing food. I did not want to get out of bed. But when I heard her walking down the hall singing happy birthday to Me! I figured I better get up and celebrate with her!!

I love this little girl. She is a sweety. She has limits and she does not get pushed around anymore. The kids call her avatar Ella. She gets mad and growls and they know the have crossed the line. She makes me smile, she is stubborn, I look forward to quiet afternoons with Ella this year. We have not had much quiet alone time in her life. She entered my Chaos and just goes with the flow. She is a good little caboose to my other children.

Well if anyone knows much about my life lately. My mom says the song if it were not for bad luck I would not have any luck at all, reminds her of me. In all the birthday excitement. Ella fell off a bar stool and hit the back of her head on tile, hard. Immediately you could tell she was not feeling well. We watched her a bit and then when she started to throw up I went to instacare. Well they sent me straight to ER, UGH. We spent 3 and a half  hours at the hospital, no fun. When the girl put the hospital bracelet on her, she said thank you, she thought it was a gift. With a 300 dollar copay can you imagine the bracelet I could have bought her. Everything was ok, they did a scan her brain and skull were fine. They did discover some severe sinitus, bad sinus infection we did not know she had. So with some anitbiotics she will be good to go.

She had a great day this is her in her birthday princess Jammies. It only took 10 minutes to convince her to put them on , she thought they were baby pajamas.

She got her new Dora Bike and was done at the hospital in time for a family party and plenty of time to celebrate her. We love you ELLA Bella and are so happy you are ours!!
