Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?” – Esther 4:14</span><br /><br />This is SO powerful because I have known that I have a calling from God to reach out to this dark world for His glorious Kingdom, as we all do, and I have really been praying into exactly what he wants from me, as his faithful servant. I definitely know that direction, but it isn't fully clear yet as to when and how to take action. Money is a large portion of the wait, but I know God will provide me in His timing with all of the resources I need to take flight with this calling.<br /><br />I just love the articulation, “you were made queen for just such a time as this” — we are called as followers of Christ to reach out in His name and not stay silent. This is such a relevant command, especially in the wake of the disaster our world is facing through these perilous times. We are to be queens & kings for Christ now more than ever . . . by that I mean LEADERS. We are to lead people to Christ and the abounding, endless love and hope that he has for all those called according to His purpose — that CAN be everyone if they choose!!<br /><br />SO, get out there in this mess, don't try to hide or segregate yourselves and your family from what is going on now with the economy, government and society. We must dive in and radiate Christ’s light and help those in panic and need. The jobless, homeless, seniors who have lost all of their retirement money and many others come to mind. Seek these people out, and help them in Jesus' name. Pay for their dinner, help them look for a job, point them to the limitless resources of our merciful God. We are being called to serve a powerful purpose in such a time as this, so let's get out and show the weak, lonely, desperate, lost and so on, the love of our AWESOME God. You go, you Kings & Queens of Christ.:: shanda hasse ::http://www.blogger.com/profile/14702525470588655371noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591226637344728341.post-91165088573019118042009-04-10T22:16:00.001-07:002009-04-10T23:10:40.679-07:00These are a few of my favorite things!I have been wanting to do this for quite a while, so here it is.

I have been exposed to way too many blogs and friends of friends that have babies that are very ill in the hospital, undergoing surgeries, fighting cancer . . . I don't know why God has exposed me to these, but it is an honor to pray fervently for these amazing families, who are completely relying on God's strength to get through. It also makes me thank God for Noah's health and safety, and I look at him with the most intense gratitude toward God. My heart aches literally for these families. I won't post links or anything to these families blogs, but please pray for them. <br /><br />Noah is a true gem to me, and this Valentine's Day, I am at a loss for words to describe the gratefulness and love that I have for this precious boy. He is wearing a shirt in the photo that says, "Heartbreaker", and I mean, that boy just breaks my heart over HOW STINKIN ADORABLE he is!!!!! He has now been introduced to solid foods as of three days ago, and he is loving him some peas!!! He is such a great eater, and he just took to it immediately. He was like, "Why did you make me wait this long for this good stuff?!" <br /><br />I wanted his Valentine's photo to be very red and lovey dovey!! I tried everything in my power to get Zoe on the couch next to him and pose for the photo, but she was much more into trying to get me to play with her toy. So, she didn't get in the photo. :(<br /><br />Noah Thomas Hasse is the love of my life. I can't imagine one day without him, I don't even remember what life was like before him! The same thing goes for the most amazing husband in the entire world. Nathan is the keeper of my heart, and I am honored to be his wife. God is good. This Valentine's, I have a heart of gratitude. For my family, friends and most importantly, the God of the Universe. Happy Valentine's.:: shanda hasse ::http://www.blogger.com/profile/14702525470588655371noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591226637344728341.post-24063796792994198682009-02-10T23:28:00.001-08:002009-02-10T23:28:31.689-08:00UPDATE ON TREY!!!I talked to Sarah this morning, and Trey was in the OR ready for the biopsy, and the doctor came in and said at the last minute that there was no need to do it because his blood counts came way up (still low, but not of deep concern)!!! They think he could possibly have Parvo Virus.<br />They are going home from the hospital today, yippee!!! They have to go back on Thursday for another blood test.<br /><br />So, keep praying for him, that he is healed of anything that is wrong in his body. Thank you so so much for all of your thoughts and prayers. <br /><br />Sarah and the family are so grateful!

My cousin Sarah's son Trey, was sick last week with a fever, so they took him to the doctor and had his blood tested. It turned out that all of his blood counts were low, so they admitted him to the Children's Hospital in Columbus, OH to run various tests to determine the cause. Well, all of those tests came back negative, and they did another blood test, which told them that his blood cells aren't replenishing themselves currently. He is going in for a bone marrow biopsy tomorrow morning, and we are praying that the result doesn't point to Leukemia, which is a possible cause of what is going on. Please pray for my precious family, Trey, Sarah, Todd (his brother), Austin (his step-brother), Kim (my aunt, Trey's grandma), Sean (Trey's dad), Sean (Trey's step-dad), Amy (Sarah's sister, my cousin), Valerie (Amy's daughter) & Ethan (Amy's son). We are a very close family, and these kids are really being affected by this. Please pray for a favorable outcome, but most importantly God's will in all of this. Pray for strength for Trey and also for his mommy, Sarah. Thank you so much. <br /><br />In the photos, Trey is the adorable blonde on the right of his mom Sarah. Todd is behind her and Austin next to him. Sarah's hubby, Sean is left of her.<br /><br />"Cast all your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall."

Let's see, last week was very busy with work and Mr. Noah! I helped one of my dearest friends, <a href="http://jennholmes-designlife.blogspot.com/">Jenn</a>, make invitation pockets for her gorgeous wedding invitations, Noah and I had lunch with our beloved DOEdoe & Uncle Fun (Donya & John) of DesignEnvy, whom I freelance design for (they are like family to us!) He sat in a restaurant high chair for the FIRST time at that lunch!, and we have been trying to fight off a cold that Noah has developed! <br /><br />Gramps AB (Alex) bought Noah the most precious outfit just because . . . it is Polo! He has already worn it. Thanks Gramps AB!<br /><br />I am very inspired to start making lots of different cupcakes. Wish me luck. I will be posting my successes (and/or failures!) Oh yeah, and I got out by myself today, which was much needed and had fun finding a few bargains, my favorite being a gorgeous rug for my kitchen which was only $6.99!!! <br /><br />OH YEAH, and I bought Noah his first baby food! I am going to try to make it, but I thought this <a href="http://www.earthsbest.com/">100% organic baby food</a> would be just as sufficient for now, until we get a food processor. <br /><br />Much love and many blessings. <br /><br />"Your unfailing love is better to me than life itself; how I praise you! I will honor you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer."

On Sunday, I was doing laundry and other such things around the house while Noah was napping and Nathan was on call at work. Zoe was whining to go outside, and I was in the middle of changing out the laundry, so I told her to hang tight, I was almost done. Well, about a minute goes by, and she is not letting up and being much more persistent than usual. So, I said, "Ok, Zo, you can go out." Well, our back door has a half window on it, and I was looking down a Zoe to let her out, and as I opened the door, she backed away from it, hesitating to go outside. I said, "Zoe, you were begging me to go out, GO OUT SILLY GIRL." Now, keep in mind that there is no way for Zoe to see out back when she is inside because the door window is too high. So, I shut the door and looked up (outside) and the neighbor's yard that backs up to my backyard is literally billowing with smoke and flames. I mean BILLOWING. I grabbed my phone and called 911 to get the firemen out there. My call was the first call into them. So, I had everything ready to jet out of my front door with Noah and Zoe just in case the fire headed our way. I watched, and the firemen showed up 5 minutes later and ran into their backyard fighting the fire. They put it out and then were surveying the scene for a few hours. Shortly thereafter, the Fire Marshal showed up on our front step. I told him that Zoe truly told me about the fire, and you know what he said . . . "If we had gotten there 30 seconds later, there was a huge pile of leaves that was about to ignite next to their garage, and that would have caught their house on fire and done a lot of damage. One of the kids was sleeping in the room right by the garage also." SO, Zoe was so persistent because she literally smelled trouble. She is the most amazing dog in this universe.:: shanda hasse ::http://www.blogger.com/profile/14702525470588655371noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591226637344728341.post-24418748608952072292009-01-15T21:37:00.001-08:002009-01-15T21:56:59.442-08:00This is truly hilarious . . .It really is amazing what the sticker top to a baby wipes refill can do to entertain Mr. Noah!!

Noah is God's to begin with, and this dedication ceremony at our church was a public proclamation that we completely trust God with our son and will seek Him out every step of the way in raising Noah. <br /><br />Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."<br /><br />This is our heart for Noah, that he would seek to know God and submit to His will each and every day of his life. It is my prayer that he would be a radiant light of God's love. That he would bring great change to this dark world for God's kingdom. <br /><br />My mom, Alex, Nathan's Mom, Doug, and my Gramps all came in from out of town. I know that my dad would have been there in a heart beat, but he is over 2,000 miles away! Thanks for all of the prayers from our other family members also. It was truly a blessed day! Oh, and I had the most fabulous cake recipe from my friend Kayla (Dream Whip Cake with Buttercream Frosting), and the center collapsed and my frosting job was very rushed at 1am, so it ended up being quite ugly!!! But, it was made with love by my mom and me for Noah!<br /><br />Let's all take a moment to pray for each of our children (in my case, 1). Pray whatever is on your heart and ask God for His direction for each of their lives. Also, that He would guide you in raising them and if they are already on their own, that He would guide them in every decision and that they would glorify His name! And, if you don't have children yet, pray for them! Or pray for the children that are in your life.<br />They are such a special gift, and we should take a moment to really soak that in!<br /><br />God's Richest Blessings over you.:: shanda hasse ::http://www.blogger.com/profile/14702525470588655371noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591226637344728341.post-49326990232694327252009-01-02T22:21:00.000-08:002009-01-02T22:48:41.610-08:00Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Blogging again!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSW0pBOp_wK9j5jzi5PUH0sO0zlPXEf-KEbpOcoHqGsPj-fysp2US_d2aIw_mmVkgxRfcNGwrErO3Q68H_C4iO8fs-b7UjvDCVZagMrTIN8cMgILtdvV_IMsi9qQPElUKBS8NjLIi4Baya/s1600-h/IMG_5172.jpg"><img style="display:block;

So, many nights of staying up until 3 am consistently paid off because I somehow got it all done. <br /><br />We had a marvelous Christmas in Albuquerque, and Noah had such a great time celebrating Jesus' birthday for the first time. He was the star of the town. We visited so many wonderful family members and friends, and we even had a mini high school reunion with about 15 of our closest high school friends. It was fabulous! My friend Gabby was there, who I hadn't seen or talked to since graduation 6 years ago, and she didn't know that Nathan and I were married or had a baby! It was quite the surprise. <br /><br />We spent Christmas morning at my mom and Alex's. My Auntie Sheryl and Uncle Robert were there all the way from Cali! Noah met them for the first time, and it was very special. Christmas evening was with Nathan's mom and Doug, and we had a wonderful time with them. Christmas Eve was special because we went to Nathan's Dad and Grandpa's for Red Chile Enchiladas and Tamales. Yum yum. We also got to see Aunt Deana, Uncle Rick and Nannie (Nathan's fam). Well, that was that.<br /><br />The New Year was rung in with yet again, Red Chile Enchiladas and Tamales accompanied by Lime Sherbet and Sprite to toast with - that is a tradition. Noah was of course, sleeping. I don't blame him!<br /><br />Noah is nearly sitting up on his own, and he discovered his feet the other day. He now grabs them at any chance he gets. He loves to sing with us (he really does sing in his own way!), and he is mesmerized by Zoe, our Boxer. Zoe loves him too. <br /><br />Well, that is enough for now, I will be posting regularly now. Love to all. Many blessings in His glorious name!:: shanda hasse ::http://www.blogger.com/profile/14702525470588655371noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591226637344728341.post-43825387806370735622008-11-28T10:56:00.000-08:002008-11-30T00:23:13.284-08:00Noah GobblesThis is hilarious. <iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwSbTnVutoTf4o-8-rIH4mkFkTpTNo-vRlRxhBmEYXmiCyY26gPltK7h14pmfGp9QtAfCbRqEeErm8Ri5ThVw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>:: shanda hasse ::http://www.blogger.com/profile/14702525470588655371noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591226637344728341.post-17489843093851714592008-11-20T22:39:00.000-08:002008-11-20T23:33:37.576-08:00fun jamming out + Noah's debut Music VideoOk, I have a confession . . . I was able to go on a short errand to pick up some tortillas for our chicken tacos yesterday, and let's just say, Noah stayed with Nathan at home, and I had a BLAST all by myself in Nathan's truck jamming out to my new favorite song. Is it bad that it felt good to be away from home by myself?! Well, I was thrilled, I felt like a teenager again, and the base was very loud. I don't get to turn the music up with precious Noah obviously, so I almost felt like a rebel!!! How funny those things we take for granted before kids. Oh, so you want to know my favorite new song?! Let me preface it with this: I listen to all Christian music and anything vintage (Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, etc), so my new favorite is very uncharacteristic of me. It is by T.I. (a RAPPER of all things!!!!), and it is called "Whatever You Like". I know, I am a nerd, but I was a closet 2Pac fan. Anyone else?<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nQJACVmankY&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nQJACVmankY&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Here is Noah's debut.

We moved into a larger home, and we are LOVING it!!! The neighborhood is nicer, and it is such a great place. Nathan's dad, Mike, came up here from Albuquerque to help us, thank the Lord, because we literally could not have done it without him. He and Nathan were so funny, working on this and fixing that. They have a great father/son relationship, and for that, I am so grateful. So, I sit here in my office staring at boxes yet to be unpacked, but that's ok, I am tackling that tomorrow. My friends have been itching to see new photos of Noah, so I finally found my camera usb cord, so I could upload the most recent photos of that precious boy. <br /><br />He is beyond fun. He is now 11 weeks old, and he is full of personality. Noah is a calm spirit with a dash of spunk! He talks all the time now, and it is so much fun to carry on a full conversation with him. If I can figure out how to upload a video, I will put it on here. (Does anybody know how to do that?)<br /><br />He is already 15 lbs, and he is very long. He is full of nothing but smiles, and he started laughing for the first time on Friday! Nathan had him going! It made me melt. He has the most adorable little voice, one that I know will be used for great things in God's Kingdom. I can already imagine him telling me I Love You . . . sometimes it even sounds like that is what he is saying already!!!<br /><br />For Halloween, my Auntie Sheryl sent Noah money to get his first costume! I was so excited to dress him up to go to our church's Fall Fest, and yes, he was a hit. He was a giraffe because that is his favorite animal. He gets most excited about the Giraffe in his book out of all the animals. <br /><br />One last thing, we just had a marvelous weekend with Nathan's mom and Doug, and it was sad to see them go, but I know it was very special to Noah to see them. He just loves them. My mom and Gramps are coming up next weekend, and we are very anxious about that also! Much love to all.:: shanda hasse ::http://www.blogger.com/profile/14702525470588655371noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591226637344728341.post-53744548774051937202008-09-25T22:30:00.001-07:002008-09-25T22:31:52.846-07:00A much needed facelift . . .Here is the new Fabulous Hasse's Blog!

As you can all imagine, it has been a little hectic adjusting to a new baby, but boy has it been an amazing and joyous month! Here is a recap:<br /><br />We arrived home from the hospital on August 16th, and Noah loved the ride home. He looked like such a cool guy pimping his "Buggy" as his Auntie (Sharah) calls his carseat. (Here he is at 2 days old!)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrBFpE7oBuYp2Ccpg2JkA809s1jTSp4uJDP8xvPys4Nr4xrGMCaDR4wpMbtV33vEgf-zM5kATb5tFuINrZLW-bVMrO7PqFXfXmCO2aRB8kBHCFx7sjFytJYNZljxWIyYs3ZWPnk2q7spil/s1600-h/IMG_3355.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrBFpE7oBuYp2Ccpg2JkA809s1jTSp4uJDP8xvPys4Nr4xrGMCaDR4wpMbtV33vEgf-zM5kATb5tFuINrZLW-bVMrO7PqFXfXmCO2aRB8kBHCFx7sjFytJYNZljxWIyYs3ZWPnk2q7spil/s400/IMG_3355.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246752422939281314" /></a><br /><br />My amazing amazing amazing (I really could say that a million times over) mom so graciously stayed with us for three weeks (no, not three days, three WEEKS!!!) Oh the fun we had! We laughed and cried, took turns taking baby duty and altogether had an irreplaceable chance to make such great memories. Here is how it went:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn9yu9PYVrPV3DlShDOcE_D0GvPPGfRxSi4L_3kIJTcHa_zmwbjBO64GEhuXatC6or4hOnnFboYPRkrhwR04Dg8ltZe02ZlSXUDEqi2JCAJwb7UDqVBzPq_naWSwZ2UIA3_aZ1qebNagHE/s1600-h/HPIM0778.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn9yu9PYVrPV3DlShDOcE_D0GvPPGfRxSi4L_3kIJTcHa_zmwbjBO64GEhuXatC6or4hOnnFboYPRkrhwR04Dg8ltZe02ZlSXUDEqi2JCAJwb7UDqVBzPq_naWSwZ2UIA3_aZ1qebNagHE/s400/HPIM0778.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246752979076040434" /></a><br /><br />•Noah was sleeping the first few nights, then we had to troubleshoot his gaseous problems. We tried Mylicon and three different Gripe Waters, one of which turned his nice orange poop to black and full of debris. We settled on Colic Ease, which has done wonders! After about a week of nights with me crying over my poor precious baby boy, we got somewhat of a system going. <br /><br />• Breastfeeding has been great, other than squirting all over Noah and me several times, it really is like witnessing Old Faithful (which I have actually been to!). <br /><br />• Noah, poor thing, decided he would go through a week or so of projectile vomiting, I am talking out of mouth and both nostrils. That phase is over, thank goodness, for Laundry's sake!! We would both have to change into new clothing!!<br /><br />• We ventured out that first week to Babies R Us for our first outing, and Noah did amazing and slept the whole time. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEysJhYJBwYUhH9BOotj5pWjXYGrAtGCdmct_fTIJvKe-ZRvpALNlsBpCnCB-70HYzRRuHZS8O2-Oez6zyrSW5SeWnP7yRJxNthQPbJPlPPmaOdAGuEYyZeKXtG_vSE0OCQDCeagQdRfa6/s1600-h/IMG_3416.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEysJhYJBwYUhH9BOotj5pWjXYGrAtGCdmct_fTIJvKe-ZRvpALNlsBpCnCB-70HYzRRuHZS8O2-Oez6zyrSW5SeWnP7yRJxNthQPbJPlPPmaOdAGuEYyZeKXtG_vSE0OCQDCeagQdRfa6/s400/IMG_3416.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246754837132028050" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWV7PmsVs8lSN2-QQkD5SNA1wLIgQWxaWh3w-TjUZcaJ9e1YDbQf2-T8HC7psFbxkp0WLQTxEU6wBh6sCJ01o68jth0R0iCgzmntScLUep3HFOjX0zzTuqOOdvqqOoYoaflC26awtGqhyy/s1600-h/IMG_3417.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWV7PmsVs8lSN2-QQkD5SNA1wLIgQWxaWh3w-TjUZcaJ9e1YDbQf2-T8HC7psFbxkp0WLQTxEU6wBh6sCJ01o68jth0R0iCgzmntScLUep3HFOjX0zzTuqOOdvqqOoYoaflC26awtGqhyy/s400/IMG_3417.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246754842881043522" /></a><br /><br />• My dad came into town, and we of course, made it out to Cagle's Steakhouse . . . my dad's favorite. And, GET THIS, my dad bought us nearly 600 diapers!!! We are set for life - well almost!<br /><br />• So, then for our Newborn Photo shoot with our amazing photographer Shan Ingram (www.shanrenee.com) . . . Outfits for the boys were EASY, umm, but what about me? 12 days after having a baby equals impossible to find outfits that are photo worthy on this majorly stretched out belly!! BUT, lo and behold, I found great outfits. Forever 21 has great stuff that is a little loose to cover postpartum bellies. Our photos turned out to be AMAZING!

I am leaving right now" . . . As I literally ran out of the mall (barely even able to walk in slow speed from the Labor). Zoom zoom, I thought she was seriously injured and she already has a bad back. She scraped her knees badly but God completely protected her back!!!<br /><br />• Mom cooked, cleaned (I mean really cleaned, and it hasn't been really cleaned like that since) did probably 200 loads of laundry, folded probably 2,000 items, and of course melted over "Baby Noah" as she calls him. Boy, Gran (her name for Noah) made life easy. All good things must come to an end, and it was a sad sad day when she left.<br />• My Grandpa came into town and bought Noah a bunch of Dallas Cowboys garb, of which Nathan was over thrilled about NOT!! It was funny!<br /><br />• We went back to church when Noah was 2 weeks old, thank goodness for the Cry Room!<br /><br />• Alex, my mom's husband, came into town, and he and Noah watched football (you see, Alex played college football for Wake Forest and NFL football for the Seattle Seahawks). Then he stole my mom back!!!! There were definite tears.<br /><br />• SO, mom leaves, then it is just Nathan and me for the weekend, and then Nathan goes OUT OF TOWN that Wednesday for 4 days!!!! Not only did my mom just leave, but then my husband leaves 3 days later!!!!! Well, we did GREAT, although I was very nervous about it at first. <br /><br />• Last weekend, Nathan's mommy and Doug came, and we had a great time with them!<br /><br />• I think things are balancing out now . . . I have been working for 2.5 weeks, and it is even difficult to get the towel off of my head to dry my hair, if I am even so lucky to do that!!<br /><br />• SO, Nathan and I go to church, to lunch, and then Target. Well, I unbuckled Noah in his carseat while we were in Target and of course covered him up. So, I put his car seat in the car . . la dee da... Nathan is driving and Noah starts fussing, and Nathan says, "Something doesn't feel right, did you buckle him up?" UHHHHHHH . . . PULL OVER RIGHT NOW, NO I DIDN'T!!!! Ok, so not only was my son in his car seat not buckled, but we had driven on the Loop AND truly Nathan had to swerve on Indiana into another lane to avoid being hit by the inches. And Noah was unbuckled. Thank you Jesus for watching over us!!<br /><br />• One more story . . . Noah and I had to run errands yesterday for my work and stop by Babies R Us. We get to Babies R Us, I get his stroller out, put his car seat in it, and in to the store we happily go. La dee da . . . 35 minutes later we are done, and I get Noah in the car, stroller put up, walk around to the driver's side, and THE DOOR WAS LEFT COMPLETELY OPEN!!!!!!!! Oh goodness, I titled this entry with the word adventures for a good reason huh?!!<br /><br />Overall, Noah is an UNBELIVABLE, and I mean that, baby. He is such a calm spirit and so content, but he is definitely a passionate fellow and knows what he wants. He talks all the time, it is so cute when he babbles through his pacifier!! He is sleeping anywhere from 4-7 hours at night, and he is eating very well. Chubby cheeks are proof of that! He is so handsome, and such a cuddle bug. I love him more than words could ever describe, and I am honored to be his mommy. <br /><br />We are so beyond grateful for the amazing support we have and all the help offered!! Our church friends made dinners for us for several nights, and much more! I will be posting regularly now! Much love to all.:: shanda hasse ::http://www.blogger.com/profile/14702525470588655371noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591226637344728341.post-37668228068739663482008-08-16T06:29:00.000-07:002008-08-16T06:42:49.787-07:00Noah Thomas Hasse is here!!!!!!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5wmmVwFCmssQffdAx7KJk8Y1wc6nM0hobJKzh0JAWSiY9tMCCLuerGbDUIbw2o-gNae20JbIWsySvnew3ndpoxSd4PYm30Qw2qa089CDIguNDFFVfnKYR_fxZ4jim3O3Q2E28QiCg7Hb5/s1600-h/IMG_3274.jpg"><img style="display:block;

He was born on August 14th at 7:38pm. He weighed 7 lbs, 11 oz. and is 21" long! After a very long labor (41 hours!!!! — 12 from the time we arrived at the hospital), our long awaited Noah is here! There are no words to describe our immediate love for him . . . we are so honored that God chose us to be his mommy and daddy. God is so faithful, and Noah is perfect in every way. <br /><br />He is such a calm spirit, so peaceful and amazing.

The decorations were stunning, the food was impeccable & the fun was well, FUN!! My favorite part was the chocolate fountain!<br />Thanks gals, and also thanks to my great friend Meredith for designing the gorgeous invites, despite having just moved to Dallas. I am so blessed with great family and friends.<br /><br />Also, here is a photo of me at 37 weeks 2 days.

I have been so unbelievably busy preparing for Noah's very close arrival!!! In the midst of it all, God opened a door for me to open a booth for my design business at a local craft mall, so WHEW!! It has been crazy to say the least! I will be selling my custom stationery card sets, bookmarks, recipe cards and much much more!!! I am so excited! I went from reading my pregnancy and baby books to only reading business books and researching the world of product design and retail strategies!!! But, I am now back on track preparing for our precious baby boy!<br /><br />His room is nearly done, so I will post photos of it completed. I LOVE spending time in there because it is so serene and relaxing.<br />He has dropped into the birthing canal, so he could make his appearance any day. I am telling him he must wait for at least two more weeks, so I can get everything done that I need to for work, the booth and him!!! We spring cleaned the house this weekend, so that is done . . . whew! I feel very good about that. I was unpacking his diapers into a basket for his changing table, and it became so real to me that I am about to be a mommy!!! It was a revelation!! <br /><br />Nathan is amazing . . . he already put the car seat base in my car, and he has been nesting also!!! We have been quite the crazy duo in getting everything just right for Noah. We are honored that God chose us to be his mommy and daddy, and we can't wait to hold him and love on him and teach him all about our precious Savior Jesus! Here is a photo of me at 36 weeks! And, Zoe has claimed Noah's rug as hers!!! It is so cute . . . she spends lots of time in his room, even without us. I think she thinks it is her room! We go in there and find not one of her bones, and not just one of her toys, but ALL of them spread out on the rug!!!! She is going to be a great sister to Noah.

Shan Renee is our photographer, and I would highly recommend her for any type of photography!!! (www.shanrenee.com)<br /><br />Amidst the mosquitos, we were able to laugh it out and just really enjoy spending time together outdoors for the shoot. I just adore my Nathan and my Noah.:: shanda hasse ::http://www.blogger.com/profile/14702525470588655371noreply@blogger.com1
