Keith had to show off by giving me a laptop earlier this month <3 Then I made a yummy breakfast of sunny side up eggs, maple-brown sugar glazed bacon,and whole wheat pancakes with heart shaped butter <3 We ate,played with the boys,and cuddled until naptime,,We put Kruise and Noah to bed,"snuggled"hehe,then Keith took a nap,I wanted to,but the boys took turns being aunry,so i gave up,and took a shower instead..Everyone woke up a few hours later,to a yummy early dinner of heart-shaped pizzas with heart shaped cheese and pepperoni,and for kruise heart shaped turkey and brocolli florettes pizza,,we ate,played some more,gave the boys their baths,got them in bed,and then Keith's mom showed up! He surprised me by getting her to come babysit for the night so we could go out and play! woohoo! We ended up going to Dave and Busters,we walked in and looked around,then went to the front to buy coins to play the games,at that time,two cops came in and shut the doors going in or out into the mall and said no one could come in or go out..people and cops were running around all over the place,,we were a little freaked out,and some cool girl that worked there finally told us what happened after some begging :) someone pulled a gun in the food court! WTH! that mall has always been nice,and more of a tourist attraction,so it was a little weird they had all these crazy ghetto people running around in there,,the crowd that night was soo not the norm! well,after THAT excitement, we hit the bar,,I drank 2 of a little concoction called a "walk the plank",and thats exactly what i felt like i did after the first HALF of one! ha! Keith doesnt drink,so im sure i was a fun sight,,we played games and just had fun..we were cuddly and cute like when we first started dating <3 we stayed until about 12:30 am and went by krystals for some good late night food on the way home :) when we finally got home and walked in,two little boys were wide awake! It was 1:00 by then,and these are kids who are NEVER up pat 7:30-8:00 at the latest! Kruise woke up around 11 we found out,and screamed until his granny went and got him,,so he stayed up until we got home,and then passed out,,same with noah! poor gran gran will never come back! We finally got in bed,"snuggled" some more and went to sleep,,,it was a great night!Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796847863263204172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505012922183912860.post-4747523758345795102009-02-13T18:50:00.001-08:002009-02-13T19:03:27.703-08:00my dadmy sister called me last night and told me my dad "suddenly and painlessly" lost 1/3 of the vision in his right eye,,its like he sees a black blob and everything else is fuzzy..i immediately researched it online,and all signs pointed to a mini-stroke,,i was upset,,i cried,,i was up all night worrying about my dad,,he lives 8 hours away from both of us,and is all alone <besides my aunt>,and not the youngest man around either,,honestly,im scared he'll die all alone in his house,with just his dog as a witness,,i desperately wished my mom hadn't moved us off from him so long ago,but then i wouldnt have keith or my beautiful boys,,i sometimes think about moving back there,,well,the good news is,he called my sis after he went to the doc today,and found out he hasnt had a stroke,he said as u get older sometimes the "gel" in ur eye seperates from your retina,so his retina is still intact,which is good,,they said that his vision should hopefully get a little better as it "settles" but it is just something he'll have to grow accustom to,which is the sucky part,,my dad is active,he loves to run around,,he's almost 65 and bought himself a scooter to run around on last summer,,he said he prob wont be able to ride it anymore :( i hope a miracle happens and he's able to keep on living like he always has,,i guess this just shook me up,to see how fragile life is,it made me think things can and will happen to ur parents,,they're not as strong as u might build them to be,,my dad is still a superhero in my eyes,,Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796847863263204172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505012922183912860.post-37991918065920834442009-02-13T18:29:00.001-08:002009-02-13T18:49:04.373-08:00kruise the trainer<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihVr-gPUtKtym8WWo4kekqBlXP8ocB_8XwobQ8-GyEUoFt59vPdzncoEvfegAz3L6fUInLF2F8NzNaURwc01NzMtYEJcWAoSNluElHo30q0U_PGZ5gTv_-aXf4BwRaYC2HdY0FvSlJS_M/s1600-h/100_0567.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihVr-gPUtKtym8WWo4kekqBlXP8ocB_8XwobQ8-GyEUoFt59vPdzncoEvfegAz3L6fUInLF2F8NzNaURwc01NzMtYEJcWAoSNluElHo30q0U_PGZ5gTv_-aXf4BwRaYC2HdY0FvSlJS_M/s200/100_0567.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302479426555360018" /></a><br />today i was exercising on my body/balance ball and Kruise decided it looked like fun,,he went and got his little thomas the train rubber ball and rolled it over near me,and sat on it,laid on it,bounced on it,,it was hilarious,,he fell off it a million times,but still thought it was great.after that i was running with the wii fit,and he put his arms up for me to pick him up,so i did and he made me carry him the whole 3 miles,he laughed the whole time,.then when i was doing crunches he came and sat on my tummy,,so i did crunches and then pelvic thrusts with my 30 lb lil man on my tummy,,i think he has a future as my personal trainer,,,man,am i sore!Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796847863263204172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505012922183912860.post-49059823033903689982009-02-13T18:28:00.001-08:002009-02-13T18:28:57.758-08:00what the eff!?it just took me 45 minutes to log into my blogger account,,what the heck is going on,,and i hope i can figure out how i did it again!Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796847863263204172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505012922183912860.post-91009818767051648582009-02-11T11:29:00.000-08:002009-02-11T11:30:54.916-08:00he sleepsafter 2 weeks of no naps (argh) kruise finally decides he needs to sleep,so he took a 5 HOUR nap yesterday,,i guess he was playing catch-up...i just hope he keeps taking them,,,he's yelling at me from his crib right now,,oh i hope he sleeps!Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796847863263204172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505012922183912860.post-55167849094768593602009-02-11T11:26:00.000-08:002009-02-11T11:28:46.167-08:00can't wait,can't wait,,,just can't wait!we found an apartment,we have no more debt(excluding stupid student loans,,ughh),,now to get a paid for car,a few things we need for the house,some emergency cash stowed away, and we're outta here!!

I stayed with Noah while Keith took him up to sit in his lap..he screamed as soon as santa got near him! the old man was so nice and patient with him,but he still wasn't having it! We ended up,sitting him in his lap,santa rang this bell thing he had on his shoulder,which got his attention,and gave them enough time to get a picture of him not freaking out (as much) before we had to pick him up,so we got our picture and hopefully no permanent damage was done!! :)Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796847863263204172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505012922183912860.post-50273765195954280462008-11-16T13:02:00.000-08:002008-11-16T13:09:50.683-08:00I want my Kruise<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNaT7sDQQDfVKmyEfLZ7l3cV0CX-6qvKfezEPtZfB_NbTkcYB06jJ5GSImXVbViwgYyiC8rJiY5VhL_orinNdGWdmeXQy4Dw0b7wWXa0Pg6HXK_5gqhGIGa4eWU753KVJKiq9VZfMNs8E/s1600-h/Picture+1748.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNaT7sDQQDfVKmyEfLZ7l3cV0CX-6qvKfezEPtZfB_NbTkcYB06jJ5GSImXVbViwgYyiC8rJiY5VhL_orinNdGWdmeXQy4Dw0b7wWXa0Pg6HXK_5gqhGIGa4eWU753KVJKiq9VZfMNs8E/s200/Picture+1748.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269365606959707714" /></a><br />i miss him,,i really,really do,,it's not like I "see" him less.or I'm not home with him everyday,but I feel like we don't get to bond and interact as much since Noah's been born,,I have to keep up with the feedings,and keep Noah from getting attacked by Kruise,so I constantly feel like I'm holding him,which doesn't leave much room for cuddling and playing with my little man :( I try to make it a point to have "us" time everyday,where we cuddle and watch a cartoon,or play with his toys,and I like to be the one to give him his bath everynight so I get that little extra time in..it's just on days like today,when hubbys home,i nap,and nap,and nap,,,im just sooo tired by the weekend and it makes me sad I dont get to see my kruise -b..i woke up and he's asleep for his nap..boo.,,when he wakes up I think i'm going to take my two little boys on a date with mommy...Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796847863263204172noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505012922183912860.post-4063915224601830492008-11-12T19:35:00.001-08:002008-11-12T19:36:19.305-08:00ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING!?we got the date for Noah's consultation appt today and we have to wait until,,JANUARY 21ST,,ughhhh!!

It just stops,there is no way he can hear out of it,explaining why he failed his hearing test both times,,he had a third scheduled,but our pedi recommended cancelling it,because he will fail,and referred us to our ear,nose,and throat doc at Vanderbilt (the same one we used for Kruise), so we're waiting for them to get back to us on when his appointment is,,We're hoping that a simple surgery can be done or maybe he'll tell us it will get better as he grows,,that would be awesome,,we're just praying our sweet little guy won't have to be partially deaf,,I know it could be worse,but all you want as a mom is for your kids to be healthy and happy,so when something like this happens,it's like a catastrophe you can't control..just pray for little Noah and that we only get good news!<br /><br />On the brighter side,,after losing about a pound his first week,he is now more than his birth rate!

"one nation under GOD",ring a bell? we are officially under the "power" of a man who states he was raised "muslim with christian influence",,anyone who knows anything about christianity and the islamic culture would know the two religions completely 100% contradict each other,,wtf is up with that?! Im usually not uber-religious or preachy,and try not to read too much into things,but in revelations,it says the antichrist will come as a powerful world leader,he will be attractive,a great speaker,and the masses will follow him,,his reign will last just shy of 4 years(42 months),or close to a presidential term,maybe?...he has also openly mocked the bible (rev 13.6 and watch the video),,maybe i just have too much time on my hands,but u have to admit,its a little scary...even if he's not the antichrist,he still gives me the creeps,and im sooo worried,i will one day have to tell my children how america "used to be"<br /><br />13:5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him.<br />(the AUTHORITY to make war,,like a president can..)<br /><br />13:6 He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, those who dwell in heaven.<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qn-P3yAaAqI<br /><br />13:18 Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.

The doctor told us to supplement tonight,and they want to see him again tomorrow afternoon,,I just nursed him for 30 minutes,he got milk, was gulping,burped and all,and STILL drank 2oz of formula afterwards..I am praying that he poops any time now and has a diaper full of pee! I just want my little angel to be healthy,,He also failed his hearing test for his right ear twice at the hospital,so we have a follow up appt in a couple weeks,,well,the doc figured out why that might be,,his right ear canal is tiny,,alot smaller than his left one,,she couldn't even see in it to check his eardrum and everything,,she said "dont worry YET",,yeah right!,,she wants to check that out again in 3 weeks when he's a little bigger,and maybe she'll be able to see,,she also said it may resolve itself on its own with him getting bigger,,i dont understand how his ear canal opening can all of a sudden grow to the size of his other one,,im worried sick that he'll be partially deaf or something,,ive been worried something's going to be wrong with him since i found out i was preggo,,very uneasy,,i was never that way with kruise,and now that he's premature,and has this too,im kinda freaking out,,ive been on the brink of tears all day,,just pray that he is normal and healthySarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796847863263204172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505012922183912860.post-38770379649242218172008-11-01T18:45:00.000-07:002008-11-01T18:50:59.948-07:00Halloween Funthe boys had a great halloween! Kruise was a ferocious red dragon,complete with wings,a big tail,and huge floppy feet,,he was sooo cute! Noah wore a little fleece pumpkin hat,which is all i had on short notice,but he was adorable! My mom watched Noah for us so we could take Kruise around the neighborhood and he had a blast! Keith walked him to all the doors and Kruise would knock,and then after they handed him the candy,he would push the door shut,,lol,,I videotaped him doing all his trick or treating and took a million pictures,which,in turn,made me cry,,he looked so grown up walking down the street with his little bucket,,i was a mess!Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796847863263204172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505012922183912860.post-56256391659495920212008-10-31T07:31:00.000-07:002008-10-31T07:43:29.294-07:00Our First Night Home<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkHqMbrEMKpkmAsnerNeOCPSTmxwwUwKeE-ghheY67yqnB0oq13fQDSuMltilN3KsqUNs0jNrH1RnjWtyIp5XMeAic5SMbllyF93V3JW6h6p3SBDxS7vw5Pj61_diQBp6Z9_CuzCBFnX4/s1600-h/Picture+1597.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkHqMbrEMKpkmAsnerNeOCPSTmxwwUwKeE-ghheY67yqnB0oq13fQDSuMltilN3KsqUNs0jNrH1RnjWtyIp5XMeAic5SMbllyF93V3JW6h6p3SBDxS7vw5Pj61_diQBp6Z9_CuzCBFnX4/s200/Picture+1597.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263328551632331762" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVelmfnqN6kVTiAOzzqDmnWxzPlnq-N2kXGSrgBymexNgCc4rXcb8PqK6S983Xr3tRQM0N_VZWwen3gEar5W8Rg2Rk0Cz2ApMyxM2nvGwJau5V3wpa4WRUacy3d3z-f-v95EigLFq0o5U/s1600-h/Picture+1654.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVelmfnqN6kVTiAOzzqDmnWxzPlnq-N2kXGSrgBymexNgCc4rXcb8PqK6S983Xr3tRQM0N_VZWwen3gEar5W8Rg2Rk0Cz2ApMyxM2nvGwJau5V3wpa4WRUacy3d3z-f-v95EigLFq0o5U/s200/Picture+1654.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263328537795801778" /></a><br />we got home yesterday around noon,after spending forever trying to leave the hospital! we got caught up doing Noah's first pictures (which we'll have next week!), his second hearing test (which he failed,but it's normal,,we'll go back in november) and basically just waiting around for discharge stuff..i know noon doesn't sound like "late" but it is when your packed and pacing since 5:30 AM! lol,,i couldnt wait to get home and see kruise and just be home with my family! welll,anyways, we got home,played with kruise,let him see noah(who he does great with already,aside from trying to constantly poke him in the eyes and mouth! lol) ,ate some lunch,fed noah his :) and we all took a good 3 hour nap,,it was great!<br />we woke up,fed noah again,keiths mom and family stopped by for a few hours,got kruise in bed, fed noah again,i went to bed around 12,,noah slept til 4,ate,and didnt wake up again until i got him up at 8!

About that time, i started getting a little crampy,but nothing I really worried about,,I realized this "little cramping" was happening pretty consistently,so i googled a contraction timer,and discovered i was having contractions every 5-6 minutes that were lasting a minute,,hmmm,interesting,,well,I went ahead and made breakfast,woke everyone up,and we went to my appointment..my cramps started getting a little uncomfortable on the way to the doctor,but i figured i was probably dehydrated or dialated to a 3,MAX..Keith went ahead and called the office and told them what was going on,so we got to go in right when we got there which was nice! My doc checked me,got a goofy look on his face and told us "you're 8 CENTIMETERS!(after checking a few times! :) ) I'm calling Baptist and telling them your on your way,,," We get up to head over ( we had to take the elevator and walk across a skywalk to get there) and he was like "how can you walk??! aren't you in pain!? you're so composed!" lol,,things started moving along even faster after he checked me,because I was fine until we got about half way across the skywalk,,then i started feeling like i was dying! Keith found a nurse as we were trying to book it down the hall,and she dragged me down the hall into a labor and delivery room,sent keith to go sign paperwokr for me,pulled off my clothes, checked me and i was a 10,ready to go! Nurses were running aroud all crazy,basically begging me not to push,shoving ivs in my arm as fast as they could,and calling my doc every few minutes,,they had another doctor in the room on stand-by,but he made it in time! The only thing that saved me from having him on the walk over was my water not breaking,is what i was told! well, i obviously had no time for drugs or an epi, yeah,that was fun! i pushed for maybe 10 minutes or so and he was here! Keith and Kruise were right there with me,which made it amazing! Noah James came into the world weighing 6 lbs 3 oz and he was 19 1/2 inches long with a head full of dark hair,just like his bubba! He is gorgeous and reminds me a LOT of Kruise when he was born,just tiny! He had some fluid in his lungs, which was caused by the fast delivery not giving time to push it out,so he had to go to the NICU for a couple hours,but he's fine! He has a sweet little personality and the tiniest cry. We get to go home tommorrow so we're excited about that! we miss our other little man and can't wait to get home!Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796847863263204172noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505012922183912860.post-66443410589207173392008-10-22T16:57:00.000-07:002008-10-22T17:08:17.614-07:00just SHUT UPI'm preparing you now,,this is a rant about my good ole mom,so if your tired of hearing about her,feel free to skip this blog! <br />So, I call mom,ask her when she'll be home so dinner will be ready for her and keith,,she tells me what time, so i get everything ready,not like I WANTED to cook tonight,I'm exhausted after not getting in bed until 7 AM,but whatever..Keith had to work late,so I had to entertain and keep an eye on Kruise while cooking,.,no easy task,so I put him in his highchair with a cup of water and let him watch some Tigger and Pooh while I was getting things ready,.he's content,everything's fine,,until mom walks in,,first thing out of her mouth, "why is he all alone in here!?" (like he's roaming around the house unsupervised and playing with light sockets!)i told her i can't get anything done with him crying or getting into something,.so for the first time ever i let him watch tv,,SHOOT ME! After that she starts bitching about how it smells like somethings burning,,i tell her its not,something splattered on the burner,,"well it smells horrible,,what did u do!?"..I only cook every meal for u woman and u act like im incompetent!? then she bitches about how keiths coke exploded on the wall the other day (nice i know, it was frozen) and he didnt do a good enough job cleaning it,and he's lazy,a pain,etc,,i kept my mouth shut.I then procede to open my mail,,she stands behind me and asks me what all this stuff is,i tell her its MY mail,and really none of her business,and she gets mad..then she looms in the kitchen over me eating sh*t out of the fridge,,i told her dinner will be ready in 5,she says she's not hungry and goes to bed,,WTF,I JUST SPENT an HOUR cooking for u and ur going to bed!?I CANT WAIT TO LEAVE THIS PLACE!! im going to give kruise a bath,and then soak in the tub...ughhhSarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04796847863263204172noreply@blogger.com2
