I have to say that this day has been much harder than I thought it was going to be...I've had a few crying fits, not only about Ella, but also my other baby...I got a card in the mail from my nurse in the hospital, and it really got to me...I'm just so emotoinally exhasted tonight...I just wanted some time to myself today, and I didn't get any...Then tonight the kids got really wild...I know they were just excited for what we were doing, but it really put me in a bad mood (I was in a mood anyway, just not a bad mood)....I'm so glad they are now in bed, and I can have a little time to myself to just think about Ella...I invited my mom over to do the balloons with us, and she declined...it really hurt my feelings...None of my family or friends called, or even posted on facebook (My mom, sister, and neice did, but that was it)...No one said anything to me except all the nice ladies on JM...If it had been a living child would they have supported me on the birthday of that child? probably...Why does it matter that Ella never took a breath of air? she was my baby, she was alive, and I gave birth to her on this day.
the little set up I made her downstairs (her urn and other things are usually kept in my room...the blanket on the table was one I had bought for her, and I used the big puffy blanket that matched in the hospital...I thought it was better than any other table covering 
Here's the outside of the card I got from my nurse
and the inside
and the cupcakes I made
her presents and cards
I love love love this picture!!! i'm so glad the rain held out
Molly (my oldest) reading a poem
Getting ready
Me letting go of my balloon (DH didn't take pictures of the kids letting go of theirs ugh)
DH letting go of his (don't mind his dirty clothes, he just came home from work lol)
just some random balloon pictures...they were blowing into the tree's across the street, even though we were in our back yard...one of the kids balloons got stuck in the trees, but then got loose and went on it's way

Beautiful Megan, just beautiful. Those angels are lovely and the balloons...just sweet.
I'm impressed with your nurses. I never got anything afterwards. Not even a call to see how I was doing even though I left the hospital 4 hours after delivery.

Megan.......The pictures are beautiful, I still have tears in my eyes from looking at the pictures. I know it was hard day for you, I'm glad the whole family was there with you to support you.
I'm sorry your mom didn't go, that would of hurt me as well. Did she tell you why? I have noticed that some people don't know what to say when you lost a baby. They think it's silly to say happy birthday, if the baby is not alive, when it fact it's not silly, it's a birthday, like any other.

I was thinking the same thing, so soft and pink with beautiful fluffy clouds, it's as though she painted you a beautiful, warm sky to celebrate with her.
((HUGS)) Your celebration was beautiful.

Thanks everyone for the kind words
I'm so glad that day is over with...I didn't realize how much stress it was putting on me...I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders...All year i've been waiting for it to come, worried and stressed about it...Now I hope things will improve, and I can start to be happy again ...Last night I was just so worn out, I passed out, and I don't rememeber waking up once or even moving around in bed. (which isn't usual for me)

I'm sorry that she isn't here with you. It looks like such a beautiful celebration of such a precious baby girl! The sky looks amazing, and I agree much like I envision Heaven. It was so nice of your nurses to send you a card.
