Seattle Trip!

Wow. There wasn't enough time to do and see all that I wanted to do and see. It was so wonderful to see my sister and Ike and Molly but it was so wonderful to travel again! So much has changed since I last flew in 2002. Shoes, fluids, no blankets on the plane and a few other instances were way different than last time. I hope to post pics on here when I get a chance to get them off my camera!

Seattle is so rich in history and heritage. Another thing I found so refreshing was the mix of cultures. There is everything from Vietnamese to Scandinavian. The traffic wasn't too bad and all the people were extremely friendly. Every time I looked at the Seattle skyline I would hear the Frasier theme song: oh baby I hear the blues a callin' chopped salad and scrambled eggs. (I think that's how it goes!)

I missed Sadee and Hank so much. I know Sadee would have had a blast! I sure hope to go back again someday.

I'm excited to get back home and see my kiddos. I know they were in good hands while I was gone.

Sadee graduated from preschool. I cannot believe it! While we will be excited to start kindergarten, I will miss the sweet, steady pace of Mrs. Wellborn’s class. She made some great memories in there, especially with this little guy!
We love you Cooper! WEE School 4Eva!

Promise I'm still here

Wow. Work has been all consuming the last two months. It's nice, but I'm ready for a break! Thankfully we've got a big wedding coming up. Can't wait! Sadee's going to be the flower girl. She's stoked!

In honor of Earth Day

Work it, girl

Sadee would be a great model if she wanted to. She'll strike a pose anywhere as long as it's her idea! 

Happy Birthday, baby girl!

Today is Sadee’s fifth birthday. A whole hand birthday! What a difference you’ve made in my life, sweet girl.

I remember like yesterday, the day you were born. You were born at 11:21 a.m. at Baylor hospital in Grapevine. We waited allll night long. What finally got you here was my determination to meet you. I didn’t want to go one more second without holding you in my arms. The first thing I said to you when I saw your beautiful face, was “My Angel!” It wasn’t planned, but I said it before I even thought about it.

You were the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. And you had just been in the presence of God. What more pure and wholesome thing is there in THIS world?

You were a wonderful baby. You were so content to just be. We were so blessed!

You have grown through the years and you’ve brought us so much joy.

I am so very grateful God chose me and your daddy to guide you through your life. May we always remember how important we are to your development.

Finally, my sweet girl, I am so amazed by you every day. You’re already the best big sister a boy could ask for. I pray you and your brother are the best of friends, always. You show me so much love and grace and you have made my life so complete. You are so smart and compassionate and you have the most wonderful sense of humor. Just last week when I was all out of energy, you let me know how important it was that I step it up for you. When I said, “kid, you’re wearin’ me out,” you came right back with, “grown-up, you’re wearin’ ME out!”

 

So today, as I reflect back on these last five wonderful years with you, I want to let the world know how much I love you. You are the light in my world and I am so thankful for you.

This is a test

Smile Hank!

I’ll take my guilt with a side of sour cream, please

Throwing up. Vomiting. Not something that happens every day in our house, but when it does, it’s so traumatic for all involved that I felt the need to blog about it today. It wasn’t Zach or I or Hank (thank GOD!) but Sadee broke her two year record of not throwing up. She got up Tuesday morning complaining of a tummy ache. She said her tummy hurt the night before because she was still hungry. The day before that she said her tummy hurt because she wanted a piece of gum. Last week her tummy hurt because she didn’t want to marry Cooper.

So when she complained her tummy hurt on Tuesday morning, I assumed it was because she didn’t want to get up and get ready for school. Typical. Looking back, she was a liiiiittle bit slower moving than normal. Anywho, I am too busy trying to get us all dressed and fed and out the door.

On the way to school, she continues to tell me her tummy hurts and I say, “OK. We’re almost there. We can go potty when you get to school.” We approach the intersection to turn on the road to school and I can hear the panic in her voice. She says her tummy REALLY hurts now and I knew it was coming. I could see her in the rear view mirror as she took a drink of pink milk to try to make herself feel better. Nope.

Then the inevitable. I will spare you the details. But God, I felt horrible. I felt like the worst mother in the world. I did an illegal U-turn into a parking lot far too late to help her with anything, but I was at least able to offer her some comfort. Then we headed right back for the house. I must have told her two dozen times how sorry I was for not being right there to help her. I mostly felt sorry for rushing through and ignoring her complaints about her tummy. Maybe she needs to come up with a new symptom for what she’s concerned about.

Either way, I feel awful I wasn’t at home with her, helping her in the bathroom with a warm wash rag to clean her face and give her comfort. I could cry right now just thinking about how guilty I feel. This started off to be a fairly humorous post, but it has turned into something a little more heavy.

Is this motherhood? Scrambling around trying to get people shifted and situated so I can go to work? What’s it all for? OK. Just needed to get that off my chest…

I am so glad Zach was there to help take care of her.

The Sully Chronicles

Honestly, this is the first time I have had a moment to myself to blog and I think my time is already running short! Little man is asleep in the swing, which is not swinging and sister is at school practicing for her (tear) Pre-K graduation. How did my life get to this point! We just brought her home from the hospital a month ago! Daddy is asleep after working all night. I sorta got some things put away in the kid’s room. That’s right, the KID’S room. We have a 2 bedroom, two bathroom house and while we had planned on adding a master wing, it obviously hasn’t happened yet. So the kids share a room. Double the kids, double the stuff. It has been, shall we say, a challenge to get ALL their stuff put away in an orderly fashion, but I think we can get it done. Maybe if I try to keep track of what we are doing on here, oh never mind. I don’t have the time to take pics and blog about it. I am just happy to do this today!

I have a few pics to post. Click on the link under this grouping and you can see all of them. I hope this works!

On a pretty dreary note, I have to go back to work soon. I am NOT looking forward to leaving my little baby behind. This is going to be the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I can already see it. BUT, I have a huge event to plan for and I am hoping to throw myself into that. My worry is wondering where he is going to go. That’s right. We don’t know what we’re going to do with Hank yet! Plans A and B have not worked out. (They weren’t that solid to begin with :()

OK, I think I hear someone calling me! Better scoot!

I know. Shame on me. Here is a pic, finally. Everyone else has been taking pics so I have had to get them to e-mail me some. I have some taken on my iPhone, but I can't figure out how to send them to the blogger to post... I will soon. I hope. Here's one Hico YaYa took the other night. I have to say he looks a little mad in this pic, but he's really a pretty happy baby.

Henry Sullivan Cryer is here!

Wow. I am holding my liitle man and he is beautiful if I do say so myself. He was born at 1:05 and weighs 8 lbs, 13 oz. He's 21" long! I will try to post some pics.

Last minute jitters....
It's almost 10 pm and we are due at the hospital at 10:30 am. I am so extremely nervous right now. I am afraid of the unknown. I have never had surgery of any kind. I have no idea how my body is going to handle this. I will be relieved to not feel like a planet anymore, but I have no idea what I am trading it for. Will the drugs they give me make me feel too loopy to take care of the baby? Will I be so tired I won't have any energy left for my sweet Sadee? Please, God, give me the strength to make it through the next few weeks.

This has been such a weird day. I think it's because I am finally allowing myself to realize my son will be here soon. My son. We will be raising a man. What a huge responsibility.

My hopes for him:
Son, I pray your father and I don't fail you. I hope you see how much we love you and that we never fail to let you know. No matter what you do in your life, we will always be there to lift you up. We pray you are a strong and responsible man who has lots of friends and knows who his savior is. I pray someday when you are a husband and father, you will be able to pass down the legacy of the love we are planting in you. You are destined for incredible things and you will be born into a world that is not ready for the likes of you, little man.

Son, I cannot wait to meet you and kiss your little forehead. I will see you tomorrow!

Reading my blogroll this morning, I stumbled across this interesting set of interview questions. I think I am going to be pretty honest here. Let’s see how the year was:
1. What did you do in 2009 that you’d never done before?
Figuratively looked down the barrel of a loaded gun in terms of some relationships.

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I pretty much stopped making resolutions about three years ago. I fully expect to disappoint myself, so why put it in such definitive parameters? I had one resolution for this year and I already broke it. Don’t be late to work. Whoops.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Hmmm. There was this one woman on the bus who looked really pregnant. She was sitting about three people down from me. That’s pretty close huh? But as for people I know, not really. One of Zach’s co-worker’s wives had a baby about 6 days after she was at our house.

4. Did anyone close to you die? 
A friend of the family lost their baby after he was born with some heart problems. He was just a little guy, but fought like the dickens. My friend Tammy lost her beautiful 14-year-old Chloe to H1N1. RIP, sweet angel!

5. What countries did you visit?
Sheesh. We had a whirlwind travel schedule this year. Las Cruces was the closest we got to Mexico.

6. What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009?
I would like to be able to firmly commit to being in shape. honestly the last few years I felt like why get in shape if I am just going to have another baby? So when this little guy’s born, I will have that resolve to git-er-done once and for all. 125 lbs., HERE I COME! I would also like to have a cuter wardrobe.

7. What dates from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
There really aren’t any dates so much as months that will remain etched in my mind. We had quite the hellish beginning in 2009.
I will remember the surprise 40th Anniversary party we had for my parents. That was quite the feat. And also, it was the day we broke the news to my parents that Sadee was going to be a big sister. Pretty memorable!

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
I had a pretty good year professionally. I finally got a big grant award and my commission was given statewide recognition after I submitted the award nomination. Sadee has continued to grow and thrive and is just impressing us every day with how bright she is. And I guess the little miracle who will be here soon is quite an achievement!

9. What was your biggest failure?
I lost sight of something very important to me – perhaps the most important thing in my life, but I am working on repairing that and making things better.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
I didn’t have anything significant, but poor Sadee did! She fell in March and knocked a front tooth out and then contracted H1N1 in October. She was fine, thank God. 

11. What was the best thing you bought?
I guess this isn’t exactly something I bought, but Zach bought me a Roomba for Christmas in 2008, which we have used every day in 2009 and I have to say it’s my most favorite thing I have ever had. It’s absolutely perfect for our house and makes me feel not so overwhelmed every time I walk in the door. That, my friends, is priceless!

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Uhhhh…. wow. That’s a good one. I guess it was nice of John McCain to congratulate Barak Obama after he lost the election.

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Easy. Nadya Suleman – aka. Octomom

14. Where did most of your money go?
Bills, bills, bills

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
I was really really excited about the state conference I attended in April when the nomination I wrote was presented with an award. I was also asked to be a speaker, but it fell through at the last minute and I didn’t need to speak after all. :(

16. What song will always remind you of 2009?
Fireflies from Owl City – What a super cool song!

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder? happier – little man’s on his way!
b) thinner or fatter? Uh yeah… pretty sure I weigh about 275 – not really, but it feels that way!
c) richer or poorer? I will always be richer, even if I am monetarily poorer.

18. What do you wish you’d done more of?
Organizing and cleaning and establishing a better routine for Sadee.

19. What do you wish you’d done less of?
Driving

20. How did you spend Christmas?
This Christmas season was pretty sweet. My sis got to come down from Seattle with Isaac. We did our best to split time between all the family. Went to his folks on Christmas Eve and got stuck out in the frozen tundra on our way home. We stretched a 45 minute trip into over 2 hours. But it’s NOTHING compared to what some other folks went through. My parents usually come over to watch Sadee unwrap presents on Christmas morning, but the weather kept them in. Sadee was so adorable. I woke her up to tell her Santa had come to her house and that he brought her some presents. And with her sleepy little face and her sleepy little voice she said, “Really? …… Can I open them?” How sweet is that moment!

21. Did you fall in love in 2009?
All over again….

22. What was your favorite TV program?
I will always love Biggest Loser but a new one has hit the radar – Tabatha’s Salon Takeover

23. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
I don’t hate, but I am way less impressed with Kaye West now. And Chris Brown. And our president.

24. What was the best book you read?
The Shack – best book ever

25. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Kings of Leon

26. What did you want and get?
Well, I wanted one but was already ok with the fact that I wasn’t going to get one, but Zach TOTALLY surprised me with an iPhone for Christmas. I was so overwhelmed that I cried.

27. What did you want and not get?
Hmmm. Professionally, I wanted the THC to accept my nomination for my town to be one of the best in Texas, but because their “clearing house” decided to hold on to it past the deadline, I didn’t get that goal accomplished. But I am over that. Personally, I kinda wanted my water to break before New Year’s, but I can live with it.

28. What was your favorite film of this year? 
I loved Up and The Hangover. And I think I liked another one, but I can’t remember it now. 

29. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? 
I honestly don’t remember my birthday this year. But I know I turned 34. I think it was just another day.
 
30. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
A cleaner, better organized house with everyone pitching in to make it a cleaner, better organized house.

31. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2009?
Ha! What is clean? What won’t cut off my circulation around my ankles? How many times can I wear this scarf without someone noticing?

32. What kept you sane? 
Talking to my sister on the MSN chat, trips to Starbucks, my under desk heater,
 
33. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
I wouldn’t say I fancied him, but I couldn’t wait to hear what Texas Tech football coach Mike Leach was going to say next.

34. What political issue stirred you the most?
The scary, scary public health option.

35. Who did you miss?
I think I miss Omarosa. Just kidding! I miss my sister. Even though we didn’t get to talk to each other all that often or even see each other, I always knew that if I NEEDED to get to her in Austin, it was just a few hours away. Now that she’s WAAAAYYYY out in Seattle, it seems so much farther away. Miss you! And I really miss Isaac, too. He’s such a blast!
 
36. Who was the best new person you met?
I didn’t meet too many people this year, I don’t think. I can’t really remember. But I did start following some blogs. I did get to sorta meet Ree Drummond. That was cool. But best new person….. that’s a tough one. I know 2010 will have a better answer :)

37. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2009.
Don’t take things in your life for granted. Remember the promises you make and don’t assume they don’t mean anything to someone else. And don’t say douchebag at a staff meeting. It doesn’t bode well for your year-end review. But I learned that from someone else’s experience.

38. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.

"You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what
I've been through like you do
And I was made for you...”

Christmas Joy … it was Christmas?

This year has flown by. I can’t believe it was Christmas! It didn’t seem like it, I think, because I am so distracted with this pregnancy. I keep talking about how next Christmas will be with an almost 1-year-old boy and my big girl. What a difference a year will make! Wow.

We DID have a wonderful Christmas this year. Sadee was just overjoyed. Santa brought her a blue bicycle, just like she wanted, but the basket, he’s asked Zach and I to help her pick out.

We were at Zach’s folks on Christmas Eve and we got sorta stuck in the crappy frozen weather. We were literally 300 yards from our house, (we could see the porch light!) when we came to a complete halt. A big rig was stuck on the highway and no one was going around. Sheesh! We sat there for what seemed like forever and we finally made our way around. Zach was a good driver and kept it between the lines the whole time. What usually takes about 45 minutes took us over two hours! But I am counting my blessings because I hear there were hundreds of people stuck on I-20 for hours and hours on Christmas Eve. I can’t imagine what I would have told my kids. How can one explain that?

So I am pretty close now. We are still set to deliver on the 13th. I have another check up today. Yippee. Zach got me an iPhone for Christmas (YAY!!!!) so I think I might be able to keep people updated if I can figure out how to send updates to this blog. We will see.

I STILL haven’t sat down with the boss man to talk about when or how long I will be out. Fortunately, the big event I am planning for March I was able to push back to May. So that’s a huge relief. Now I can just focus on the baby and getting better. I SO hope this time isn’t like the last time. All I am saying is that 4th degree tears/episiotomies are torture. I hope a c-section isn’t near as painful. Dr. A seems to think this time will be much better. Lord I hope she’s right!

I think we have a date!

My doctor appointment went well today. No big issues, BUT we were able to discuss when our little man will make his entry into our world. My doctor’s policy is that she will not deliver until the baby is at least 39 weeks. And she normally only does surgery on Mondays. So all along I have been thinking that she would deliver him on January 11th because that’s the Monday of my 39th week. BUT I wouldn’t be in my 39th week until Wednesday the 13th. Bummer. But she checked her schedule and said she is open that afternoon! YAY! So she could deliver him around 2:30 on the 13th. Holy COW! That’s only 26 more days! The only draw back is that I won’t be able to eat or drink after midnight the night before. Any suggestions on how I can cope? Gum? Cigarettes? Anyone?

I am also trying to figure stuff out for work. I have NO idea how this stuff is supposed to work. Well, I do have an idea, but I am not sure if it’s going to work out for me. I have a HUGE event to plan in March and I need all the time I can get to plan it out. I am awaiting word as to whether we can possibly push the event back a month or two to give me time to recover and plan. Sheesh. It sucks to be a grown up sometimes.

While this wasn’t taken today, I wanted you to see how cute my boy is in a santa hat.

Hi little guy!

It WAS Missy!

So remember how I wrote on here that our friend had run into the Pioneer Woman’s SIL? Well, I talked to Cindy this morning and found out it WAS Missy! She told Cindy she didn’t look anything like she did in the book. They were at a quarter horse show in Fort Worth and she had her cap on.

Wow. I just realized I may be a little obsessed about Ree Drummond and all her details. I haven’t said anything about my child’s impending birth. Bad mom.

I think I will have more to say tomorrow after our checkup. I am in my 36th week right now so I might have to have unpleasant things happen to me tomorrow. No need to go into detail, but we may know more about WHEN he is going to be here and how big he might be. So far he has measured right on. I am not sure if I am ready yet! The poor guy still needs a bed!

The Pioneer Woman goes on and on

So, I think folks have picked up on the fact that I am a PW fan. I love her style and I love her sense of humor. So when she released her cookbook, I pre-ordered it. I have never pre-ordered anything! So anywho, I bought one, then I found out she would be in Dallas on the first and thought that it might make a cool gift to all the ladies in ma life. So I bought one for the MIL and my mom bought a bunch for her friends. We got them all signed, it was an adventure.

Mom just told me that her friend Cindy liked the book so much she went out and bought a bunch for her friends at Barnes and Noble. While she was in line checking out, she struck up a conversation with a lady behind her who asked her about the book. Long story short, the lady said she was PW’s SISTER IN LAW! I assume she is her brother Doug’s wife. Because I am sure it wasn’t Missy. (I am a little link happy in this post, but it helps you all get a little background.)

Well, that’s all. Just thought I would share that cool little factoid with you today.

On another note, here’s something weird about this pregnancy. Can you tell me if you’ve experienced anything like this? The baby will be kicking and tossing and turning, as usual, but then there will be this HUGE kick and I hear this little clicking sound. It almost sounds like a knuckle-pop. I know that’s not what it is, but that is what it sounds like. It has happened at least a dozen times. At first I thought it was coincidental, but now I know it’s not. So what IS that? I hypothesize that it’s some sort of air bubble? or maybe a tendon popping? Or maybe an alien? That’s got to be it. I am getting too many a great deal of comments about how big I am. I know people “mean well” and are just noticing by abundant bosom belly, but really people. I KNOW! I am huge! I am just a little worried about how soon I will be able to get in action. I have a BIG event I am organizing in March and I am hoping to not have to offer ad space on my ass.

 My little man
 Folks have been asking about my little man and I feel just horrible that I haven't posted any pics of him yet. Well, I mean utero pics. Because really. But here he is.

It's uncanny just how much he looks like Sadee already. We I are am calling him Sully because I like the name Sullivan right now. Don't know if I'll like it in a week. But man! This little feller can kick! I think he's had hiccups the last few days in a row. Sadee did, too. And then she had them even after she was born.

Hasn't this been just a truly exciting post people?
