Amalia Turns One!

I know that it seems that her birthday has been happening for months, mostly to my hubby, and that's because it has been happening for months!

I had to do the photos for the Dubai party, then I had to do the early party in Dubai because we were going to move and then today is her birthday!!

Mummy Daddy and Binky are here they all flew in to celebrate with us, I swear I have the best family! They are always at my side every chance they get.
I also have loads family about an hour away so they all came as well, it was a great time with our favorite people.

I of course told John that I was just going to cook and no decorations, then 2 days before the party I changed my mind and made a long awaited trip to Michaels and got to work!!

Her party was perfect.  Everything was perfect.  I cannot believe I woke up this morning with a one year old!!  We adore her more then any words can describe.

Star Wars Birthday Party

It's that time of year for the boys double birthday party!! Since I... I mean they are so into star wars that was the obvious choice of a party theme. It was so cute at the end of the party after the boys opened all their gifts and John says, "Well, what did Mummy and I get you?"  They both shrugged.  I said, "We got you this beautiful party, and that is your gift." They both hugged us and said thank you without even complaining that we didn't buy them anything, such gracious boys! Then John brought out their bikes and they went crazy!! It was the cutest thing. Happy Birthday to our wonderful boys, Happy 7th and 9th Birthday Ethan and Kaiden!

It all began Saturday morning.  I had signs of labor but we had the Pinewood Derby so I hoped she would wait.  And of course, she did. Contractions started coming in very slowly and Mummy and Binx came over.  We hung out, and hung out, and hung out and the contractions weren't getting stronger but slowly moving closer together.  We all finally took naps then we started hanging out again.  Finally at 12am we decided to go to the hospital. 3 cm dilated and I was admitted. Kindle, my bff of course came to the hospital as well.  All our biggest supporters were there. Waiting for Baby  Getting some well needed rest. Last moments before birth  My contractions never got  intense before the epidural kicked in, thank goodness.  Somehow my left side didn't kick in so I could feel it all on that side, but because I have back labor and I co...
