My kiddies...continued

So today I was going to give you guys a couple of recipes, but everybody changed their minds on what they wanted for dinner, so I'll save that for tomorrow.

Instead of food, I'll introduce you all to Bella, my littlest princess.  I think she's really starting to believe that she is a princess, because if you ask her what her name is, she proudly announces, "princess".  And let me tell you, if you tell her no, she gets really mad!

Isabella Cady-Fay (I'll give you the rundown on her name in a minute) is the biggest spitfire our family has right now.  She's 3 going on 16!  She's amazing, and perfect, and beautiful!  Unlike Noah, she doesn't have an amazing story as to how she came to be.  She was born full term, everything completely normal, just like any other baby.  I, on the other hand, didn't think everything would be okay during my pregnancy.  I was freaking out until after the 29 week mark.  Each time I went to the doctor, she would tell me - "Hello! Remember, I'm the doctor - let me worry about it!  You just chill and grow a baby!"  So I was like - OK - let's grow a baby!  And all worry went out of my mind.

On February 19, 2010 - my little Pickle came into our lives!  Isabella Cady-Fay was 7 pounds and 19 inches long.  COMPLETELY normal!  What the hell do i do with a normal baby?  You mean to tell me that she's not going to be stuck in her room for months at a time, attached to all kinds of wires?  She's going to have energy, and want to do things?  Now what?  I think it was one of the first times I felt like a "normal" family, whatever that is!

So i promised I would elaborate on her beautiful name.  We'll start with her middle names.  Cady is my maiden name - i always said that if I ever had a girl - her middle name would be Cady.  LOVE IT!  And that way, I still feel connected to my dad's side of the family that I grew up with.  Fay comes from Kevin's grandma.  She would have loved Bella.  Bella was the first girl on Kevin's Dad's side of the family in 30 some odd years, and she would have fallen in love with her!  OK - Isabella.  Isabella comes from, what else...Twilight.  I fell in love with the name as soon as i started reading the first book.  I also told myself that by the time she goes to kindergarten, there will be all kinds of "Bellas", "Alices", and "Rosalies".  So i came up with a plan, if anybody asks me where i got her name it would be - Queen Isabella of Spain.  Sounds good, right?  LOL!

So that's my sweet princess.  A spitfire, a girly girl, a tomboy.  All of me wrapped up in a cute little ball. Here's to hoping that the spitfire is gone by the time we reach 13!  

So I hope that you enjoyed learning about my little family!  Tomorrow I'll be bringing you some recipes - cheap to make - but not cheap on taste!  YUMMO!  I can't wait!  Until tomorrow...
