Noah!

Long over due...and not even done as I would like..but time is always an issue...there's never enough. So with that said I'm going to do my best and put up some too cute pictures of Noah and me when he was about 1... First off...Noah, on the world wide web... Happy 5th brithday, mommy is sooo proud to be your mommy! Man, i love this kid..

Noah was born on March 29, 2003 at 7:03 pm..but i think he intended to come on the 28th! I was eating a bowl of cereal when all of a sudden, i was peeing out of my control ..aka my water brook! So I go run to bathroom..and said to myself..oh god, is this it?!...when it stopped for a sec. I ran and got the telephone and called my mom...and asked, " mom, when your peeing and have NO control over it...does that mean your water brook?" (hoping that I was dreaming) she replied, with, yeap, that is what it sounds like....so off to the hospital we went.... after about 27 hours of labor and only 6cm dialated, i was given the miracle drug...I had such control over my pelvis, my body was not allowing me to open...the curse of being a dancer and in shape I guess,....walking 2miles everyday..DID NOT help me..nor teaching dance and dancing the whole time while preggers...so after the miracle drug, i was fast asleep...all of a sudden..it was code red! the nurses come rushing in and start flipping me from right side to left side..and all i hear is one clear solid beeeeppppp....i'm like what is going on!!!! and i had not control over my legs and was sooo scarred..my mom looked as white as a ghost...and then i asked," what is going on"...noah's heart stopped! i said to myself in my head..oh god, i did not just go through all of this just to lose him! the doc then, reached in and popped him on this head..all of a sudden i hear the beep, beep, beep..Thank you LORD. so we were all ok...it took a minute to settle down, but i did- so at 7:03 pm...here was Noah on my tummy... i looked at him, and with those big eyes and moving his little lips, I said...he looks like kathy (peter's mom) in which my mom said, no he doesn't, he looks just like you! ..so there you have it he is a perfect mix of me and peter!

I didn't get to see him for about 3 hours, because of tests, but i when I was able to i went down to the nursery and held him for the first time...it was the best feeling in the world...only mothers know what i'm talking about... man, he was beautiful and perfect! he was hungry and i nursed him...and he did it like a pro! no problems or nothin... i had to leave him there when i was done, due to the meds he needed...at about 3:30am the nurse brought him in...and we both were sooo tired, she kept trying to get him to nurse ...but i was like, dude! he's sleeping let the poor little guy sleep we've been through a lot...finally, she left us alone..and there we were! him in my arms sleepin' he was such a good baby...not much crying, great eater and fabulous sleeper (those days are long gone, the sleeping part) -

when i brought him home, it was soo quite with a this perfect little guy...Noah had this peacefulness to him...he still does..he's always comfy and happy. at about three days after having him...i could just tell, that he was this spirit given to me, us...the world who has the strength to do anything- he can make anybody happy and just cares about everybody and everything .... i know god has great plans for him... today he just into playing, laughing, games, pizza, vanilla ice cream...and learning anything ;) I don't know how i got soo blessed to have him as my son, but i am sooo thankful for him...he generally, will come out of the blue...mommy, i love you sooo sooo much- it just melt my heart...i of course say it back...until, we are saying it back in forth...in a love fest, then peter gets into it and there's a whole lot of lovin' going on! I LOVE IT! peter will say to me, look at him heidi, isn't he unbelievable...we just stare at him while he's asleep, and wonder how we were able to make just an awesome little guy- I would say, he is the glue to our family...he keeps us working harder for us, for our family, for more...

here are some pictures of me and him, that are my favs!!! I made a homemade frame for them- hope you enjoy and i will post some other too cute ones later- take care-
