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!!
