I consider myself a “Twilighter”. I see anything Twilight related and I’m a captive audience. Therefore it’s only natural that I went and saw New Moon as soon as it was released to Theaters, but since I have children and have to be a responsible person :( I got to go see it Sunday morning this weekend. Trust me, would have been there at midnight if I could.
The movie was awesome!
Better then the first one by far. In my option the director was much better, and so was the acting. The movie’s story actually followed the continuity of the book, which is pretty impressive .
However seeing it in theater kinda sucked. It’s just the movie going experience didn’t rival to seeing the 1st one at home. I had to suffer through every other woman in that theater sighing or screaming {when Jacob took his shirt off}, and one person who was sitting behind us was like making some strange noises…..I felt horrible for subjecting my husband to that. Then at the end of the movie it’s all intense as Edward makes the condition to Bella for changing her himself {spoiler alert-avert your eyes now if you don’t want to know} by proposing to her and asking him to marry her someone let out this huge belch. Like you couldn’t help but laugh even though you were disgusted at the same time….it really ruined that moment for everyone in the theater. I did really enjoy though the time spent with Matthew sans children. Sometimes it’s just good to get out and pretend that we’re two kids out on a date, and what a perfect movie to go to to do that.

One year ago today Matthew was driving me to the Birth Center in the early morning hours after I woke up to stomach cramps and a crying toddler realizing that I was indeed in labor. How far away and yet close at the same time it feels to remember being pregnant with Naomi. It’s hard to contemplate her growing inside of me. I look at her now, and it’s hard to imagine how tiny, gentle, and quiet she was when she came into this world and up to the time she started to be mobile. My first coherent memory of her after examining her and reveling in her “Matthewness” is her whimpering when Matthew and I laid down to sleep for a few hours next to her. She must not have liked being outide haha.
People always talk about “having a baby” and all that comes with that, but what they don’t talk about is how that tiny person changes who you are and that it happens EVERY time you have a child. Granted Vera made me “mommy”, but when Naomi was born I became Vera and Naomi’s mommy. Something changed again. Another piece of my heart was out and about walking this earth.
Naomi has come so far in one year. Every day she is doing something new and different. She walks, beats Vera up, and says quite a few words. All these things she’s learned from her big sister. When I think of what celebrating Naomi being here one year means it means being in awe of all her accomplishments, being amazed at the little person she is, but also being proud of Vera. This past year Naomi has taught Vera to share (still working on that most of the time), how to be caring, and loving. The dynamic between them is genuine . It also means that I’m blessed. The process of having children and them living is a miracle in itself, and I appreciate every moment that God has given us.
Happy Birthday Little “Nomi”,”Nogi”, “Newgi”, “Peanuckle”, “Noogen”, and whatever else your Dad just randomly calls you. You are much loved, Naomi ^_^.
