My new pregnancy.

6-10-09

It's my 31st birthday today, and I found out I'm pregnant! I'm very shocked, scared and nervous, especially as my partner of 12 years, who I love very much, has said he will break up with me if I don't have an abortion! He said we can't afford another baby, and we don't have the room. I know this baby wasn't planned, and we weren't going to have any more children, but I really don't want an abortion. I would never forgive myself EVER, and I'd have to live with that guilt for the rest of my life!

7-10-09

I told my mum I was pregnant today, and she basically told me to have an abortion as well! :-( She said I should not tell anyone and go and get it "sorted"! I would NEVER tell anyone what to do in such a situation, it wouldn't be my decision to make! I'm feeling very upset today, and feel that everyone will think bad of me if I decide to keep this baby! :-(

8-10-09

Ok, I know I've only known I'm pregnant for a couple of days, but I've been doing a lot of thinking! At 1st, I was scared of what everyone else would think and say, but now I'm getting more and more angry about the reactions I got from my mum and partner! I WANT TO KEEP MY BABY!!! People can think and say what they want! If Martin continues to act the way he's acting at the moment, he can leave (he says he wants to anyway!) I'm not going to go through another pregnancy like last time with his constant negativity, it brings me down, and I do NOT need it!!! I KNOW I'm a good mum, and it will be hard, but I know it will all work out fine in the end!

11-10-09

Well, everything has settled down here in the last few days! I told Martin that I would not be having an abortion, and he said that he couldn't leave me either! He's being nice now, I'm so relieved! I've been having quite a few stomach cramps, which is rather worrying, but I've read it is normal in early pregnancy. I have back ache today as well, but no morning sickness! By 5 weeks with my other pregnancies, I was feeling very sick! I'm concerned that I'm not feeling sick yet. I've had the odd queasy feeling, but nothing really noticable!

13-10-09

I am so scared today! I did a clearblue digital pregnancy test today out of curiosity. It tells you 2 things, 1- whether you are pregnant or not with 99% accuracy, and 2- how many weeks ago you conceived with 92% accuracy. Well the test said that I'm pregnant, but it said I conceived 1-2 weeks ago! I know for a fact that I conceived 3 weeks and 3 days ago! So now I am in a total panic, and so worried that the baby might have died! I have a Dr's appointment later today, so I don't know if he'll do a blood test or not. I'm so worried about this little baby!

14-10-09

When I saw the Dr yesterday, he said to go back today with a 1st morning wee sample, so I did. I saw the nurse today, and she did a urine pregnancy test, and said it was a faint positive, but a positive is a positive! She said some women don't have dark lines on their pregnancy tests, and it doesn't usually mean anything is wrong. She said I have no pain or bleeding so that's a good sign! She could see I was still worried, so she took some blood even though they don't usually do that routinely. The blood test will show the HCG levels in my blood. I have to ring tomorrow afternoon for the results.

15-10-09

I rang the Dr for my HCG results, and she said they weren't in yet, ring back tomorrow! Now I have to wait another day! :-( I think I feel a bit sick today, I hope it's not my imagination! I'm really worried about this tiny baby, I just want everything to be ok!
***UPDATE!*** The nurse phoned me back later, and said that my results had come in. She said they were very very positive!!! I'm so happy! She said she thinks I'll start feeling sick at the weekend lol!

17-10-09

I woke up this morning, and noticed I was bleeding. About an hour later the stomach cramps started, and really bad lower back pain! I spent the day in hospital. I had bloods taken, and an internal examination which showed that my cervix was closed, so that was a good sign. I had a scan, and they couldn't see anything, so she did a vaginal scan, and she couldn't see an amniotic sack or anything. My HCG levels had decreased from last week. Last week they were 182, and today, they were 131. I am having a miscarriage, and I am so upset! The Dr found I had a fibroid too when she did my scan! I was sent home with codeine and paracetomol, but I'm still in a lot of pain, and the bleeding's got worse too. I just can't believe this has happened! My daughters have been crying as well. RIP my tiny baby, I will miss you so much! xxx

19-10-09

I have been in so much physical and emotional pain for the past couple of days, it is unbearable! I am bleeding very heavily, and passing bits of placenta. I have taken the week off work, as I'm in pain, and I just can't face seeing anyone at the moment!

21-10-09

Today was a very hard day. I'm not having the bad stomach cramps anymore, and the bleeding is not so heavy, and I thought I might be finally getting over the worst of it. In the afternoon though, I actually passed my tiny baby in the amniotic sack. Although it was very emotional, I was glad I had a tiny body to bury in our garden. Martin buried him/her this evening, and it was very emotional for us both! We will miss you forever our tiny baby! xxx

28-10-09

Well the physical pain has gone now, and I have no more bleeding, but the emotional pain is still bad! I had to go into Mothercare World today to look for a new pushchair for my daughter, and I had tears in my eyes walking past the tiny newborn baby clothes, and seeing pregnant women, and seeing people with babies. I want my baby back! It's not fair that my baby was snatched away from me! :-(

My pregnancy with Ella.

4-3-07

This was the 1st day of my last period before falling pregnant with Ella.

18-3-07

Ovulation and conception day!

6-6-07

13 weeks plus 3 days pregnant.

Had my 1st scan today! The sonographer said that the scan showed I was 14 weeks. She said as it was within a week of my due date worked out by my last period, they would keep my due date as the 9th of December instead of changing it to the 5th of December. My baby was facing down! It was lovely to see him/her at last!

2-7-07

17 weeks plus 1 day pregnant.

I'm starting to feel a bit fat now! I still haven't felt the baby move and I can't wait!!! I'm feeling very tired, but I think it's because my doctor has put me onto iron tablets as my blood tests showed that I was anaemic. I can't wait til the 25th as I have my 2nd scan and they will hopefully tell me the sex of the baby! I'm hoping for another sister for my 2 daughters!

7-7-07

17 weeks plus 6 days pregnant.

I felt bump move for the first time today!!! I was so excited to finally be able to feel him/her!

25-7-07

20 weeks plus 3 days pregnant.

Today I got up all excited about finding out the baby's sex but my day wasn't as happy as I'd planned. The sonographer couldn't tell the sex of the baby as it was laying too low down. We were then told that the baby's head measurements were too small and they were coming up as 18 week size rather than 20 week size. We were then told that I have a low amniotic fluid volume and I was also asked if I'd noticed any leaking fluid which I hadn't. The hospital was concerned, so I have been referred to Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge. My appointment is on the 1st August. I will have a detailed ultrasound and hopefuly they'll be able to tell what's what. I've been trying not to worry because I know stress is bad for the baby, but it's all I can think about. I hope this little bump is ok!

01-08-07

21 weeks plus 3 days pregnant.

I was so nervous this morning before my scan. 1st of all, we are having another girl!!!!! I'm so happy, this will be our 3rd daughter! The hospital said that the baby's head is not small but it is slightly squashed as my amniotic fluid is low and there's not much room. He said it won't harm the baby. I was told I had oligohydramnios which is low amniotic fluid. He checked everything and all was fine except he didn't see the bladder filling during the scan, which concerned him. He thinks the baby isn't weeing enough. The kidneys were fine and there were no blockages as this would have shown up as a very full bladder. They don't know! I have to go back for another scan in 2 weeks as they want to keep a close eye on things. If I have any fluid leaking, I have to go straight to hospital. I feel a bit happier but I'm still worried.

12-8-07

23 weeks pregnant.

I took my dogs out for a walk this evening and 5 minutes down the road, I suddenly noticed that the inside of my thighs and my underwear were wet. I went home and rang the hospital as I had been told to keep an eye out for any fluid leaking. They told me to go down to the maternity ward. The doc had a look at me and took a swab. He said everything looked ok and I was sent home again.

13-8-07

23 weeks plus 1 day pregnant.

I had another scare this evening. I went for a wee and noticed I was bleeding. I phoned the hospital and they asked to see me again. They did another examination and took another swab to send off. They said my bleed may have been caused by them poking around the night before. They checked my blood pressure and temperature and the baby's heartbeat and all seemed ok. The doc said I could go home as long as I take it easy and ring them if anything changes or if I notice the baby not making many movements. I'm so scared. I don't dare move. I have an appointment on the 15th at Addenbrookes hospital for another scan to check the baby again and my amniotic fluid. I hope everything's ok, I've been so worried.

15-8-07

23 weeks plus 3 days pregnant.

I went back to Addenbrookes hospital today for another ultrasound. The doctor said that my oligohydramnios is severe. He thinks the most likely diagnosis is premature rupture of my membranes. He said I should have received a course of antibiotics when I went to my usual hospital after my fluid loss and bleed. He sent a fax to my usual hospital to recommend that I start a 10 day course of antibiotics and that I should have a full blood count done twice weekly. I have to check my temperature four times a day incase I have an infection. He thinks I should also receive steroids to accelerate fetal lung maturation. He said the biggest concern is of preterm delivery before 27 weeks and this can be associated with a very poor long term prognosis for the baby. He said there is a chance of compression effects on the baby due to the low fluid. He said there remains a small chance of an underlying anomaly. He said the ONLY way to prevent a very poor long term outcome is to terminate the pregnancy. He explained that when I am 24 weeks and beyond, this would no longer be an option. I told him that I definately did NOT want to terminate my pregnancy. I'm so worried. I've been told to take it very easy, I'm not allowed to do my job, lift anything, have intercourse, walk my dogs, or do anything that causes my braxton hicks contractions incase I go into premature labour. He said he doubted very much that I would make it to 36 weeks and there is a chance I could go into labour at any time. I daren't move.

20-8-07

24 weeks plus 1 day pregnant.

I'm feeling a lot better about the whole situation now. I had an appointment to see the consultant at my usual hospital today. He didn't seem as concerned as the other doctor I saw. He said finish the course of antibiotics that I'm on. He thinks that as I have had no more fluid loss or bleeding, that I may be ok now. He didn't see the need to give me steroid jabs as the baby seems to be growing properly with no signs of distress and I seem fine too. He said if I lose anymore fluid or blood, then they will give me the steroid jabs. I had another full blood count done today. I was told to carry on taking my temperature incase I have an infection. He still wants to keep a close eye on my oligohydramnios and the baby for signs of distress. I have to go back to see the consultant and have another scan on Wednesday the 29th. I still have to take it easy, but I feel happier now!

26-8-07

25 weeks pregnant.

I felt my baby get hiccups for the first time this evening!

28-8-07

25 weeks plus 2 days pregnant.

I'm having really painful braxton hicks contractions today and my tummy goes as hard as a rock. I hope everything's ok.

29-8-07

25 weeks plus 3 days pregnant.

Had my 5th scan today. She was head down. My amniotic fluid level has gone up a little bit, so I feel a bit happier. It's still very low though. The hospital still want to keep a close eye on things.

13-9-07

27 weeks plus 4 days pregnant.

My midwife took blood for a full blood count today. She felt the baby and she is still head down.

26-9-07

29 weeks plus 3 days pregnant.

Had my 6th scan today. I didn't get good news today. My amniotic fluid has gone right back down to an extremely low level. My consultant is concerned that now baby is bigger, she is becoming very cramped from my lack of fluid. She is worried that her hands and feet might be getting squashed. She said there is a chance that the lack of room could cause her to become distressed and I might go into labour early. My consultant decided to give me steroid jabs to mature her little lungs incase she is born soon. I had my 1st jab in my thigh, ouch. It's a painful injection. The nurse said my leg would be killing me tomorrow!

27-9-07

29 weeks plus 4 days pregnant.

I woke up with a thumping headache today. I couldn't do anything. I curled up on my bed and cried which made my head worse. I don't like taking tablets when I'm pregnant, but I took a paracetomol. I immediately threw it up though. I rang the hospital and the midwife said that the steroid jab I had yesterday could have caused a nasty headache. I got into bed and slept all day and when I woke up later, I felt fine. The midwife came out and gave me my second steroid jab in my other thigh. I'll have 2 bad legs now! It's all to help my little girl though so it's worth it. I'm so worried about her. I hope she's ok in there and I hope she can stay in there a few more weeks. I love her so much already.

10-10-07

31 weeks plus 3 days pregnant.

Had my 7th scan today. My fluid has gone up!!! I'm so happy. It is still low, but it's not seriously low now. She still seems to be growing well and the blood flow to and from the cord was fine. They monitered her heartbeat for half an hour with the CTG machine and it seemed fine so she's not distressed. They did say her head is very low down behind my pubic bone and pushing down on my cervix and that's why I've been feeling a lot of pressure. The sonographer said she was amazed how low down her head was without popping out! I don't have to go back for another scan now for 3 weeks! She had her little fist clenched on the scan today! I'm just so pleased that she seems ok!

31-10-07

34 weeks plus 3 days pregnant.

Had my 8th ultrasound today and it wasn't good news. My fluid has gone right down to a severely low level. It's lower than it's ever been (3rd percentile.) They are now very concerned about her getting distressed from being extremely cramped. They want to monitor the baby very closely now to check if she's ok. I have been told to let them know if her movements decrease at all. I have to be seen in a couple of days for a CTG to check her heartbeat again. She was head down and I'm hoping she's going to stay that way! I'm not feeling very happy. I'm trying to drink as much water as I can even though the doctor said it doesn't make any difference to the fluid level.

2-11-07

34 weeks plus 5 days pregnant.

Went to the hospital again for a CTG and her heartbeat is ok. I'm feeling stressed today. My ankles are swollen and if I push my finger into the swollen bit, the indentation stays there, it's scary!!! I've got another CTG in a couple of days. I'm feeling a lot of pressure on my cervix which is quite uncomfortable and I'm so tired. I'm feeling sorry for myself today!

5-11-07

35 weeks plus 1 day pregnant.

I had another CTG today and her heartbeat still seemed ok which showed she wasn't becoming distressed. I've got another CTG and ultrasound midweek to check everything again. It's difficult going to the hospital because I don't drive and have to rely on my mum or mother in law to take me. I also have to take my 2 daughters out of school and take them with me, otherwise I wouldn't be home in time to pick them up. It's hard work and it takes nearly an hour to get to hospital! I know it's all to check my baby is ok but it's stressful.

7-11-07

35 weeks plus 3 days pregnant.

Had my 9th ultrasound today and another CTG. The baby looked well and my fluid had gone up! I was happy that it had gone up but I was worried because when I saw the doctor, she said they didn't need to see me again until term! They have been keeping such a close eye on the baby because of my fluid going up and down, and now they don't want to see me at all! What if my fluid suddenly goes right back down again like it has before and they are not checking me?! They've gone from checking me every 2 days to nothing!!! Just thought they'd check her heartbeat in a week or something. I have an appointment to see them on Dec 12th and I'm due to pop on the 9th!

13-11-07

36 weeks plus 2 days pregnant.

My midwife came out to see me today. My blood pressure and urine were fine. She listened to the baby's heartbeat which was fine as well. She is still head down and 2 5ths engaged! I was told her head is very low down!

23-11-07

37 weeks plus 5 days pregnant.

Had my midwife out again today to check me and the baby. Everything seemed fine, but my midwife said she has moved up again. She told her she was going the wrong way! That's why my heartburn is so bad at the moment because she is pushing up on my stomach. I didn't like hearing she'd gone up instead of down! She obviously likes it in there! My midwife is going on holiday and won't be back until the 6th Dec! That's handy! She told me to ring the hospital if I have any problems.

29-11-07

38 weeks plus 4 days pregnant.

Went to see my GP today as my midwife is on holiday. He didn't really say a lot. My urine was fine and my blood pressure was fine and he listened to her heartbeat which was fine too. All seemed well! I'm getting really tired now and everything's an effort. I'm looking forward to my baby being here but I know I'll miss being pregnant too as this is the last time I will be pregnant.

5-12-07

39 weeks plus 3 days pregnant.

It's been really hard this week. Suddenly, everything seems so much harder to do, everything's a real effort. I have so much pressure and it hurts to walk. I'm really tired and wake up all through the night with really bad heartburn or needing the loo. I just want her to come out now! I hope she's not late, I don't think I could cope with that!

6-12-07

39 weeks plus 4 days pregnant.

At 12.15 this afternoon, I lost my mucous plug I think. It was a big clear blob with streaks of blood in it. I've been having lots braxton hicks contractions and period type cramps and also sharp twinges in my cervix. Could it be very soon?! I want her to come out now!

7-12-07

39 weeks plus 5 days pregnant.

***I gave birth to our beautiful daughter Ella!!!***

*****BIRTH STORY.*****

Well, little Ella decided to make her grand entrance into the world 2 days early!!! At 1.00am I started to have painful contractions but tried to sleep as it was so early. At 4.00am, my waters broke. There was hardly any fluid as I have had oligohydramnios all through this pregnancy and was advised to have a termination at 23 weeks because of this. I woke Martin, I could tell he was trying to stay calm for me, he was sweet! He got our 2 daughters up and I got my bags and we took the girls to my mum's house. We arrived at hospital at about 5.30am. I think the midwife thought I was overreacting about how much pain I was in. She did my 1st internal at 6.00am and I said "I suppose I'm only 1cm dilated!" However, me, Martin and the midwife were shocked to find out that I was fully effaced and 6cm dilated already! She asked me if I wanted gas and air at this stage, and I said yes. She went off and was gone for ages, I think she had to assist someone else. When she came back at 7.10am, I was kneeling on the floor in agony, the pain was absolutely unbearable and I didn't want anyone to touch me. The midwife said she thought she'd better take another look at me as she thought I might be in transition. The midwife and Martin managed to get me onto the bed, it was so hard to move because of the pain. She checked me again and I was 10cm dilated! Apparently I was ready to push, but I didn't feel that urge to push, that people talk about! It was so hard to push through the pain of a contraction and I even asked the midwife if I could push inbetween contractions! She said no, but she said that if I did really big pushes at each contraction, the baby would be born quicker and I wouldn't be in pain anymore! That really motivated me to push HARD! I only pushed for half an hour and my beautiful daughter Ella was born at 7.40am!!! When her head came out, she had the cord looped tightly around her neck and the midwife had to clamp and cut it before the rest of her was born. Despite all I have been through during this pregnancy and all the worry I've had, she is absolutely perfect!!! The birth was hard, but it was a lot quicker than giving birth to my 2nd daughter. I had a c-section with my 1st daughter. I think I coped much better with this birth as I tried to stay calm and positive. When I gave birth to my 2nd daughter, I panicked and it was horrible to be in so much pain and then panic as well! I felt a lot happier about this birth! Ella weighed 6lb 14oz, my biggest baby! I am so in love! Nobody can ever explain how a mother feels the moment her newborn baby is placed in her arms after birth. It is an amazing rush of so many emotions! It is the most wonderful feeling EVER!!!

18-12-07

1 week plus 4 days old.

The health visitor came round today and weighed Ella, she's now 7lbs 9oz already!

3-1 08

3 weeks plus 6 days old.

The health visitor weighed Ella again and she's now 9lbs! The health visitor wrote "excellent weight gain" in her notes!

7-1-08

4 weeks plus 3 days old.

Ella smiled at me for the 1st time today! It was sooooo cute! Her hair is getting longer and still sticks straight up like a hedgehog!

23-1-08

6 weeks plus 5 days old.

Me and Ella had our 6 week checks today and everything seemed good!

7-2-08

8 weeks plus 6 days old.

Ella was meant to have her 1st jabs today, but she had a cold so I cancelled them.

13-3-08

13 weeks plus 6 days old.

Ella had her 1st jabs today, she got another cold and was still a bit snuffly, but our doctor said she would be ok to have her jabs. It was horrible, her little bottom lip went down when the nurse did the first jab in her leg, then she screamed and the nurse did one in the other leg while she was crying. I nearly cried. She didn't cry for long. Later on, she had a bit of a temperature, so I gave her some calpol which she hated and spat most of it out! It was the first time she'd tasted anything other than mummy milk! Her right thigh is swollen, my poor little girl! She's such a good baby and so content, I love being with her all the time, I never want to be apart from her, I love her so much!

17-4-08

18 weeks plus 6 days old.

Ella had her 2nd lot of jabs today, 1 in each thigh. She screamed again and it was horrible. I had her weighed today as I hadn't had her weighed for ages. She was 15lbs 10oz!!! What a little fatty and all she's ever had is mummy milk!

22-5-08

23 weeks plus 6 days old.

Ella had her 3rd and final lot of jabs today. She had to have one in 1 thigh and 2 in the other! She didn't actually notice the first 1, but she definitely noticed the 2nd and 3rd! She won't need anymore until she's a year old now. We started Ella on baby rice and fruit purees today! Hopefully when she's eating more solids, she'll sleep through the night! She still wakes me up for mummy milk every few hours! My first 2 daughters slept through the night by 12 weeks! She doesn't think much of the taste of solids and looks disgusted when I put some in her mouth! I'm sure she'll soon get used to eating! She's such a smiley baby and happy most of the time, she's always making us laugh!

18-07-08

7 months and 10 days old.

Ella is so big and heavy now! Her thighs are really chubby! She's more like a little girl than a baby now. She's still always happy and smiling, and she's started doing this funny thing where she shuts her eyes and scrunches her little nose up and does this funny breathing! She's such a little nutter, she always makes us laugh. The girls love her too and Ella loves them. They all like to play on my bed together! She STILL won't sleep through the night and ends up in my bed! I know it's bad, but she's my last baby!!! My other daughters both slept through by 12 weeks! People say Ella is spoilt and she needs to go in her own room now! I suppose they are right, but I worry about her. I still have to keep checking she's still breathing when she's asleep, and now she rolls over and her face gets squashed in the matress, I worry even more! We saw my cousins baby last night, she's a week old! She was tiny! Ella didn't know what to make of her and just stared at her! Ella looked like a fat sumo baby compared to little Lola! They grow up so fast, it's scary! Ella likes her food now, but she still loves her mummy milk best! She's started being naughty though! At dinner time, I put a mouthful of food in her mouth, then she blows a raspberry, and it all flies out everywhere and all over my face usually! She thinks it's really funny, but I have to not laugh at her and the girls are terrible for laughing at her when she's naughty! She likes to roll over and over and has sat up a couple of times from laying on her back, using her elbow to push up! She falls over when she sits up though! She's also started bringing her knees up under her when she's on her tummy like she's going to start crawling soon! She babbles to herself all day! She giggles at the dogs when they play tug of war! She's such a good baby, and we all love her to bits!

5-9-08

I feel sooooo ill! I was told by the doctor today that I've got mastitis. I'm in so much pain, and I feel like I've got the flu. My left boob has been hurting for about a month, but I just kept thinking it would get better on it's own. Yesterday, my boob was so painful, and I was in agony when Ella was breastfeeding, then suddenly, my whole body started to ache and I was shivering with a really high temperature. I went to the drs, and she started me on antibiotics, but said she wasn't sure if I had an infection, she said to go back the next day if I didn't feel any better as she was concerned about my high temp. I went today and saw a different dr who said I definitely have mastitis as I have red streaks on my breast today and I'm still in loads of pain with a high temp. He said my antibiotics should kick in soon. I hope so! He told me to put cabbage leaves in my bra as it helps mastitis! I just smell of cabbage now ha ha!

9-9-08

Ella had her 7-9 month check today, and she's developing well! I was told she was chubby lol! I was advised not to feed her any breastmilk during the day. She loves her milk though, so it's going to be hard. She was weighed, and is now 22lbs and 15oz! She's a good girl, and has been sleeping through the night for about a month now which I'm pleased about! She is in her own room too! I know what you're all thinking, about time! I know!

17-9-08

Ella can crawl!!! She doesn't crawl for long, but she's definitely crawling! She's eating well and loves her food! She likes to squish her little sandwiches before she eats them lol! She's still a happy little nutter! She gets tired more now, and gets stroppy when she's tired and just wants some mummy milk to go to sleep, but I've been told not to feed her milk during the day and we're finding this really difficult! :-(

26-10-08

Ella can do loads now! I'm amazed how quickly they learn! She crawls really fast everywhere lol! She pulls herself up, and stands up confidently, although she still holds on to something. If I say no, she shakes her head lol! She claps her hands, and if I say hooray, she puts her arms in the air! She likes clicking her tongue! She waves goodbye to everyone, and it's so cute! She eats whatever we eat. She likes fromage frais, and always laughs at the animals on the pot ha ha! She loves roast dinner and gravy! She has 1 tooth at the bottom which has half grown now! It started coming through a few weeks ago! It hurts when she bites my finger now! It's just so much fun with Ella around, and we love her so much! She's a bit clingy to me, and cries if I leave the room sometimes. She is still breastfeeding, and we love our little bedtime routine of milk in mummy's bed, then she falls asleep, and I put her in her cot for the night! She's such a good little girl!

Ella's very 1st birthday!!!

Ella was 1 today! I really can't believe how fast a year has gone by! She enjoyed tearing little pieces off wrapping paper off her presents and then giving me every little bit she'd pulled off! I think she enjoyed carrying the tags off her presents around, more than the actual presents! She liked her balloons and cake, and we had a good day!

Ella walked all on her own for the 1st time! We were at my dad's, and Ella just suddenly stood up in the middle of the floor, and walked about 6 steps and then turned round and took another step, then fell on her bum!

We are so proud of Ella! Ever since the 27th Dec, she's been walking non stop! She looks so small and cute! She loves walking, and hardly ever crawls now! She's really growing up now! If she falls over or hurts herself, she often says mum mum mum, and I know she wants me! She also says dad dad dad. If she sees 1 of the dogs, or a picture of a dog, she says ba ba ba ba (it's meant to be a dog barking!) She says i i i if she sees a mouse picture, and raaaaaa for a lion! If you say give me a cuddle, she puts her head on your shoulder and goes ahhh. If you say give me a kiss, she kisses us! She has her 2 middle top teeth now, as well as her 2 middle bottom teeth, and there's a little gap inbetween her 2 top teeth, and she just looks so cute! She still has breast milk, and she hasn't bitten me yet, so that's good! We do row row row your boat together which makes her giggle, and she screams at the end! We all love her so much, and we are so lucky to have her!

I can't believe Ella is 17 months! She's such a big girl, although she still breastfeeds when she feels like it! She loves playing with her big sisters! She seems to like being scared at the moment! She gets you to chase her, then runs away screaming and laughing! She loves jumping on the trampoline, and sitting on my lap on the swing, and going on the see saw! She has little tantrums sometimes if she's not allowed to do something, and she goes and lays on the floor on her back, and kicks her legs! She has 6 teeth now, 4 at the top, and 2 at the bottom! She's just scrumptious, and we love her to bits!
