I went into labor at 35 weeks and Jesse and I headed to the birth center at 9:15... at 10:15 it was determined that I could not deliver there due to the fact I wasn't yet 36 weeks AND the little man was breech... and at 11:29 Moses was born across the street at Baylor hospital.<br /></div></span><div><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Goodbye serene, comfy, cushy, birth center with your plush four post bed, selected ipod <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K0C-rftK2Ig/SM8uH7doJXI/AAAAAAAAApU/7-5RE76LmBI/s1600-h/IMG_5775.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246462804665836914" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_K0C-rftK2Ig/SM8uH7doJXI/AAAAAAAAApU/7-5RE76LmBI/s200/IMG_5775.JPG" border="0" /></a>soundtrack, low lighting, memories of the birth of our first son, and the intimate ease of just my husband, midwife and doula cheering <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_K0C-rftK2Ig/SM8pD6jzVWI/AAAAAAAAAoc/ApdhvdSNouc/s1600-h/IMG_5775.JPG"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></a>and encouraging me along...

It was entirely overwhelming, everyone was rushing, the lights were really bright... </span></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I was told I could not deliver in a regular delivery room because the baby was breech and there was the possibility of an emergency C-section (at which time I would have been immediately drugged unconscious). Alas... there was no unconsciousness... we had a 'natural' birth amid wildly unnatural circumstances. Moses came out backwards inch by tiny inch. Oh, I was there, I remember all 19 of those inches... but it went fast. Fifteen minutes I think. The most painful part was he was taken away from me shortly after the birth for over two hours. Moses spent 48 hours in the NICU under observation and we spent a total of 4 nights and 5 days in the hospital. I didn't like it, not one bit. But praise be we are both happy, healthy and feelin' good.<br /></span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K0C-rftK2Ig/SM8pgbP3vuI/AAAAAAAAAos/LbYLORbsMTA/s1600-h/IMG_5860.JPG"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246457727956795106" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_K0C-rftK2Ig/SM8pgbP3vuI/AAAAAAAAAos/LbYLORbsMTA/s320/IMG_5860.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">We think this little man is destined to be a warrior... as my magnificant husband stated "the first thing this baby decided to show the world was his ass and balls."<br />I think its a telling commentary.<br /><br />We came home Friday evening and are enjoying our newly expanded family.

(i try to thwart this but he's quick you see). he's had lots of bug bits, bumps and scrapes. he shares drinks with dogs, enjoys pouring sand on himself, will seek out any puddle, pot, cup or toilet bowl of water to splash in and loves putting my hair in his mouth. this is my son... this is the life he likes.<br /><br />i know he will grow up and not remember all these little secrets we share. all the sometimes gross little faux pas and rules we break around here. but i promise i'll keep our secrets.<br />ani deFranco and i have a kid the same ago. i unabashedly hope jackson marries miss petah lucia napolitano, daughter o'ani in about 25 years. i won't tell her he recently pooped in the pool.<br /><br />anyway... he's to my warm, tender, charming, adventurous, dimpled little boy who is not interested in his toys and only wants to play with his dad's wallet or the water hose.zenner'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08230097006435396801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15261532.post-18397979165768446892008-06-05T14:30:00.001-05:002008-06-05T14:30:46.704-05:00backlogged one-b<div style="width:360px; text-align: center;"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w215.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w215.photobucket.com/albums/cc297/chelcg/0fc6a4dc.pbw" height="360" width="360"><a href="http://i215.photobucket.com/redirect/album?action=slideshow&landing=/slideshows&type=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" style="float:left;border-width: 0;" ></a></div>zenner'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08230097006435396801noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15261532.post-52951731430987314062008-05-30T22:49:00.003-05:002008-05-30T23:12:07.472-05:00otro vezi haven't blogged much recently. i have a great series of thoughts and updates and questions i'd like to pose to you... but i get tired quickly these days. when jackson is down for a nap and i look around me at my messy table, the dirty dishes in the sink, weeds in the garden i'd like to terrorize and i think the thoughts in my head i'd like to write... well, i take a nap. i sleep and wake up when i hear the lad babbling on to himself. my free moments of the day escaped on the other side of my eyelids. so i tell myself this... sitting here on this couch i am accomplishing so much, my body is literally exhausting itself in putting together a babe. i feel much better. but i do miss the little communicado world going on here. so today i start my backlogged blog series... we'll see.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206389572281906194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K0C-rftK2Ig/SEDPuzopNBI/AAAAAAAAAms/xzzh2SNTsqI/s320/IMG_5307_1.JPG" border="0" />for those of you requesting a tummy shot... here you go. for those of you who haven't learned the news... we're 5 months into baby TWO, due the first week of October. we figured hey, we had a baby last year and it was great fun so let's do it again this year!

It remains the most overlooked part of King's legacy, Wilkins said. "It remains in the shadows because King rewrote the traditional civil rights script. As long as he fed Americans images of bigoted Southern sheriffs clubbing demonstrators, people could remain comfortable. But the Poor People's Campaign gave Americans a new cast of villains: themselves. Americans didn't want to look at the face of poverty, but King was going to force them."</span></strong><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2008/US/04/01/mlk.final.crusade/index.html">Click here </a>for more of the best article you've read in weeks.<br /><br />Amazing, that the more the man marched towards the gospel, the more his closest friends began to desert him and even question his sanity.<br /><br />Or maybe, that's exactly what happens when we lay hands on what this gospel really means.<br /><br />I've been told before that I hate America. I sure hope this isn't true. Hate is an infectious disease. Who wants that in their system? Not me. But King hits on two things here that are vital to understanding why the American Mindset and the Kingdom will always be at odds with one another:<br /><br />1. <strong>The "Make-Your-Own-Way" American Spirit looks a hell of a lot like what Christ called fundamentally, sin.</strong><br /><br />2. <strong>America sees absolutely NO NEED for forgiveness</strong> of any kind for the things, as a nation we've done. (See: Christopher Columbus, Native Americans, African Americans, Manifest Destiny, Women, the Spanish-American War, and most recently, the Beijing Games.<a href="http://www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=25057"> (Buy one!) </a><br /><br />Here's my point: The majority of Americans who profess to be believers hang their hat on their personal need for forgiveness. They hear it in sermons. They read it in books. They print it on T-shirts. They put it in songs. They train teenagers to go tell Mexicans about it. They see it as essential. And (hoorah!) they are correct!! They know, full well, that the bury-it-under- the-floorboards technique is deadly, that you cannot hide from the coming judgement:<br /><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:85%;">"Villains!"

If you'd like to email Julius personally or help financially, both of which I cannot encourage enough, shoot me a comment and I'll get you the appropriate contact info.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Friends, </span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Thank you for expressing your sympathies and offering your support. The last 48 hours have been difficult and quite a whirlwind, as you can imagine. Julius has a plane ticket in hand and is taking off today (Wednesday) at 2:15pm, and he will be gone for one month. We ask for your prayers for his safety. His priorities are to facilitate the burial of his brother, assist with managing his estate, and most importantly, to take care of his other brothers and sisters and get them moved into a safer neighborhood...</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">The Organization of Kenyans in Kansas City is hosting a prayer gathering and fundraiser at our home this Thursday night beginning at 6:30pm. Anyone is welcome to drop by. Donations will be put towards the cost of caring for Julius's family while he is there, as well as towards his travel expenses.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Julius will be sending my updates as often as he can, and I will post them on the Soulfari Kenya blog: </span><a href="http://www.soulfarikenya.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;">www.soulfarikenya.blogspot.com</span></a><span style="font-size:85%;"> You are welcome to send him words of encouragement at his email address.</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Sincerely,</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Sarah Were</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"></span><br />Sara also listed a great story the KC Star ran on Julius and his family this morning.
