so we just got back from San Diego

on a family trip and guess who's water

broke this morning at 5:30 am while

we were visiting? I will post vaca

pics tomorrow but here are pics

of Bre and me at the hospital :)

by the way, she is 3 wks early! She would have

been 37 weeks tomorrow. We were leaving today

anyway... Rick had to work and Mia couldn't

go to hospital, we didn't have anyone to watch Mia

so I could stay since my mom was driving here as we speak

of course, so we headed home. I was sad I couldn't stay to meet my

little nephew but that's okay.

Goofy pic of Bre with her legs spread. Wally

didn't think it was very funny. :)
Here's Wally and Bre! New parents to Leif Wael Hamideh
(probably spelled wrong) Born tonight weighing in at 6lbs 12 oz
and 19in long- he would've been almost a 9 pounder if he had gone
all the way! I'm so excited for them!
Bre and Mia at the beach just
the day before! Crazy huh!!

It's Mia's birthday today! She is 2 years old.

Two years ago today I had Mia at 10:06 pm

Rick and I went to the Deli Den for breakfast

where my water broke and we headed to the

hospital. I wasn't very happy about it, because

my doc was out of town since it was Easter weekend

but she came out 12 hrs later after being induced and

waiting til I was almost a 9 for my epideral ( long story

of a missing anesthesiologist) She was 7 lbs and 13 oz

and was 19 inches long. She is the best thing that

has ever happened to Rick and I. Last night she

hugged me so tight in the tub and said, Mom,

you are my best friend. She's mine too.

Anyone who knows Mia can tell you that she is

obsessed with Yo Gabba Gabba so I knew I had to

make her birthday theme a gabba one. I made

Brobee and Foofa for her. It was a blast. My mom

used to make us all fancy cakes when we were little

clowns, flowers, bunnies, and so I wanted to continue

with the tradition. Next year, she gets to do the

spanking machine on her birthday (another tradition)

So after my sister Bre's party, we had everyone come over

to celebrate with us for Mia (just family til she's 4 or 5 )

I printed out Gabba invitations and she was handing them

out to everyone as they arrived which was hysterical.

Then we danced to Gabba music, blew out candles, opened

presents, and had pizza and salad. It was a perfect party!!

I can't believe she's 2!!

Brobee again

it. Such a kid!

dad lighting

licking her fingers

yum mom!

this is good!

No Gabba Gabba birthday party

can be complete without a dance

showdown!

Can't be complete without her

Gabba shirt and she was yelling,

Go Mia , Go go Go Mia.

Then we all stood in a circle and

just watched her dance, it was the

best.

Mia has been a dancer since she

was a baby so she was in heaven

and of course it was Gabba Music

is Awesome cd in the background!

Phew I'm tired now!

Mia getting ready for her big day.
Birthday girl!!

Bre's shower was Saturday afternoon. It was

a lot of fun. Doesn't she look cute? Brooke came

down too. Nicole just had her baby a few weeks

back so she stayed home . It was a fun weekend!

While I was getting ready for Mia's bday and

Bre's shower, Rick took her to Touch a Truck

She had a blast.

She got to go inside all the trucks, drive them

and everything.

notice her birthday girl shirt :)

Nascar fun. She's so cute!

Grandpa M went too. She had a blast!

this is last St. Patrick's day, same

dress. Isn't that depressing?
look how big she has gotten?

Happy St. Patrick's Day
Mia got this dress from grandma M
last year.
so she wore it to church on Sunday

I almost didn't get her to church. She

kept saying, I don't want to go to church

mom, I want to stay home in my jammies.

Do you blame her?
