Happy 1st Birthday Baby Bella!!!!!!!!

What a milestone...1 year old today. I have absolutely no idea where that year has gone, but it was definitely a lot quicker than the pregnancy! As I sit here typing this blog post, I'm thinking back to this time last year when I was coming to the end of a 36 hour labour and was in the pushing stages. Unfortunately Bella was stuck in the birth canal and they'd cut off my epidural to help me push. Only half an hour away from an episiotomy and Bella being dragged out via ventouse. And then the most perfect little baby girl was delivered on to my tummy and our lives changed forever. She is my little miracle. I'm completely besotted with her and completely in love and amazed and in awe of her every day. She was the missing part of our lives.

I have some lovely photos and video of her birthday party to post and also some photos of her day today which was spent with her mommy and daddy and her english grandparents. We did manage a skype with her american grandparents too.

Here is a slide show of some of her highlights over her birthday period.

A year really does fly by doesn't it? My little one is 14 months now and I can't believe it has gone so fast. Congratulations to Bella on her first birthday.
