On this day 10 years ago

On this day 10 years ago I was having my first kid (I was a child bride ;)). My first little boy came 4 weeks early. I was so relieved he came early because I had put on 28kg, couldn’t walk properly and had to wear my husbands shoes (fluid is a real treat).

Cruise was born (22/02/2002 – easy date to remember!). The name Cruise put people in a little spin. No one had heard of that before. My Cruise was born before David and Becks and Lleyton and Bec had their Cruise’s. My mother-in-law struggled to get his name. We laugh about it now (oh, wait until I tell you one day about her face when the next child was born TEX!).

I was a scrapbooker waaaay back when it was all the rage, so I can’t scan these precious photos – I had to take a photo of them.

Check me out! How puffy was I? Oooo short hair! So much funny looking back…

So Happy 10th Birthday to my biggest boy Cruise!

We have a big day planned. Donuts in his classroom, out for dinner tonight and then 15 kids for a party at Laser Skirmish on Saturday (I designed the invites and husband printed them). He is double digits after all so he deserves the big shebang! Plus, I think he’s a pretty good kid.

Mummy thinks he’s a bit cute too.

Happy Birthday Cruise. X

    Happy Birthday Cruise. Have a great day. Love the name. Bit like when I told Dad I’d called our second son Finlay-he said it was child abuse-bahaha. Tex looks exactly like you in that photo by the way.

    Oh he’s gorgeous. He looks like he is a good boy too. What is it with numbers? Mine was born the same year at 19:19 on the 19th of the 9th. 2002 was a good year! Happy Birthday Cruise! A-M xx
