Gabriella's First Birthday Party

I'm pretty sure I don't have to explain too much of the story because I posted about it (exactly) a year ago.
But i'll do it anyway. :) 
On this day of last year, at 10:59pm, my angel was born. This year was full of so many great accomplishments for me and Gabby. She taught me responsibility, how to be a woman, she kept me pushing for everything and anything I wanted to do because it all in the end was gonna be beneficial for her as well as myself. I cannot believe a year has flown by so fast. This is the kind of stuff that makes me want another baby. Lol


I started off my day bright and early at 9am. I was up ALL night preparing things for the birthday party. (I am so sorry that I did not blog about the planning. I'll explain everything very soon in a post about what was going on) I got favors ready, put each decoration piece in separated bags, EVERYTHING you can possibly think of that a perfectionist OCD party planner would do for a party, I did it! Lol. So I started my day of course with a pretty girl shower, and Gabby with a birthday girl bubble bath. We called up daddy and told him it was time to go pick up our last minute items for the party. We went to Party City and Dollar General to get everthing we needed. Then we went to go pick up the cake. 
The cake situation was kind of a sticky one. We had ordered a half a sheet cake for the guests to eat and a mini cake for Gabby's smash cake. When we picked up the 1/2 sheet cake, the design was PERFECT, but it was the wrong size! It was half of a 1/2 sheet! So I definitely had to change that as quick as I could. They fixed it for free (thank God) and we were able to walk out with a fresh new cake. 


We got to the venue just in time to set up and decorate. Guests of course were late but we still had a great time with whoever was there. We ate Papa John's pizza, played Pin the Nose on Elmo, blew bubbles, colored, ate lots of cake and opened lots of presents. 

I cant believe an entire year blew by so quickly. My baby! My Gabriella! Shes a toddler now! :'( Sometimes I wish the baby days lasted a bit longer. But I'm glad shes growing up to be a healthy little girl. Because of course, she will always be my baby in my eyes and heart.

My Last Month of High School! :(

I can't believe that starting Wednesday, it will be my last month of high school. It feels like not too long ago I was in the 4th grade imagining my high school senior year. Now it has finally come to reality. With a few exceptions and changes to that reality lol. I didn't know that I would be going to an arts school, and I definitely never expected to be a high school mom. But all those unexpected things are what makes my life better than expected :) In this final month, there will be so many activities we will be doing so keep checking back later!

Final Trimester! Welcome to the Home Stretch...

I have officially reached the last 3 months of my pregnancy! Yaaaaaay! Baby boy is now the size of an eggplant. I have weighed myself at different places, and i'm actually not sure which one is correct. At the spa, I'm 139....... at my mom's house using her scale, I'm 129..... hopefully I'm 129. Lol. My next doctor's appointment is Tuesday so i'll see how much I REALLY weigh. It scares me because if I really am 139 pounds, that mean's he's going to be huge because I was 139 pounds when I gave birth to Gabby. Speaking of doctor's appointments, I am now going every 2 weeks. Which is good for me because I really have alot of questions now. This pregnancy is so different from my first and I am having so many different symptoms. I am soooo tired of eating. I know that is strange to say coming from a pregnant girl but it's like I'm ALWAYS hungry and I'm ALWAYS  eating. Lol. I'm just really tired of stuffing my face. It doesn't f...

Baby Shower Planning: Themes

Eeeek! Its only a month before my baby shower! :D September flew by so fast and I have been following everything step by step on my checklist trying to prepare. Its actually not at all alot of work, just so much fun. Alot more fun and less stressful than planning a wedding. Next up on my checklist was choosing a theme. Choosing a theme is also one of those things that are not too hard. Well for one, if you know what u are having, then that should knock off a whole lot of options. If you decide u want a "surprise" or a "gender reveal" then its only just a little harder because you don't want things to be too girlish or boyish. One last factor you consider when choosing a theme is when you are going to have it. You wanna try to always stay in season. You don't want springtime butterflies in the middle of January, or dark colors in April. Ive truly learned my lesson by sticking to a theme by season. My birthday parties in the past were almost never in season. ...
