She was sick and no that wasn't the funny part, and I had to take her temp. To her dismay I have a rectal thermometer and she wasn't too happy about it. She said mommy how much long?

I cherish the memories that I do have and look forward to what the future brings. I am so grateful you kept your box. You really did love us more than we knew. I remember sitting at basketball games and you teaching me how to fold boats. Believe or not, I just taught one of my students how to do that in December. Low and behold, there was my boat in your box. You must have cherished that memory as much or more that I did. I loved the time you took for me.....talking to the trees and the bushes. I have to smile now when I catch myself doing the same thing with my girls on walks. I need to take time to do it more. Camping was also fun.

You always have a way of making me feel special and you did. The first time was in Scottsbluff Hospital when you looked up at me with those gleaming eyes and said "I was dreaming about you" and the second time was in Bridgeport hospital when you said "I saw you face in a star. You were smiling so bright and then the star slowly disappeared." You sang with me....that is my favorite thing to do and despite your struggles to breath you sang "When I was young and handsome, and only 17, I dated all the girls in town and ate my peaches green" Gramps don't you know you still ARE handsome! Then as we said our final words, You look up at me eyes sparkling, holding my hand and said "I love you more than you will ever know." I said "Gramps I'm excited for you. When you are ready you go, but tell your Mom hi for me and that I named Lillian after her." That was at 9:30 pm on April 9th and on Sunday April 10th, at about 5:15 in the morning, you went home. </span></span></span></div><div id="obitText" class="clearfix" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px;

I guess better late than never. So, here it goes.<div>I really can't remember much of the past few months. I was really on autopilot. Here are a few highlights.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>* Lilly started crawling, standing, and talking. Of course her talking is minimal she is really <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>starting to repeat words. She loves attention and knows how to get it. She is very laid back <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>and needs to be with her sister around.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>* Callie is VERY stubborn and at times hard to manage, but I absolutely love how out of <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>nowhere she will say "I love you Mom" She is soaking everything up and turning into a <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>beautiful little girl</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>* Jake finished his classes with A's. I have to admit I didn't even know if he would finish :-S, <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>but he always said have I ever not finished a class yet....well needless to say he was right. <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> Jake also shot his first NE deer and has been working hard at work.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>* I also finished my classes with A's (barely :)) and somehow got through the craziness of <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>being a band and choir teacher. I am still recovering and have come to the realization that I <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>have to learn how to pick and choose my activities. I have to say being a stay at home Mom <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>has never seemed so appealing. Don't get me wrong I have always really wanted to stay <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>home with my kids, but financially it isn't possible. Because I get to experience <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>both <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>being a working mom and a stay at home mom, I know there are different stresses. <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Right <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>now I would prefer the stresses of a stay at home mom :) </div><div>Christmas has come and gone and I can say while I really enjoyed being with family I didn't anticipate it like I have in the past. I absolutely use to LOVE Christmas...the decorations, smells, gifts, service, etc. I just didn't have the time to soak it all up. However, we did have a WONDERFUL holiday. Christmas eve, we went to Bridgeport. We had lunch with my Grandma Ann and then while the boys went hunting, the girls spend all afternoon in the kitchen. It was really fun cooking and seeing Callie help. </div><div>That evening we went to Grandma Sharon's. She had really good soup and of course gifts. The thing I love about my Grandma Sharon is she gives homemade gifts (they are the best kind) I got slippers and my grandpa made me napkin holder. The girls each got a knitted sweater and beanie hats. </div><div>Christmas Day didn't start with such the band I would like. I was SOOO excited to watch Callie open her gifts, but instead of an excited girl, I got a grouchy one who ended up throwing up. She feel back asleep, but lucky woke up feeling much better. Even though I had to wait a couple hours, I really enjoyed watching her BELIEVE. The girls were spoiled...with clothes, games and toys. Jake and I were spoiled with pots and pans, cutlery, gun cleaning kits, knife sharping kits, cologne, a red coat, camera, hunting license, etc. etc. </div><div>I think I got the biggest kick out of Jake...he said "The girls have more presents in one year than I got in 10 growing up." I have to admit that we are blessed and with that said, I really enjoyed helping other families out as well. Service is a wonderful thing and the gospel is even better. I can't imagine what life would be like without the knowledge I have today. Until next time....</div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09086719685093451370noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893848049680307558.post-88754644422980336312010-09-12T16:28:00.002-09:002010-09-12T16:52:34.277-09:00Life in the fast lane....Well summer has come and gone and we are adjusting to work, school, and daycare. For the most part everything is going smoothly. My master's classes aren't as demanding as I was anticipating, so that is good. The girls continue to grow and Jake and I continue to grow as parents. Callie is nothing short of a challenge, but love her and are grateful for her sweet spirit in our home. Lilly is the smilest little girl and is very big for her age. At her 6 month appointment she was 28 1/4 inches long and 18.3 pounds. She is wearing the same clothes that Callie was wearing at 14 months.<div><br /></div><div>Here are some highlights from the last couple of months.....</div><div>August- we drove to AZ. It was good to see the fam, but VERY exhausting. I wouldn't exactly call it a vacation. On the way home, Callie had to go to the bathroom at least once an hour. I have to admit it was somewhat humorous having her go on the side of the road, BUT it did add driving time to our already long journey. I enjoyed reading and got through three books. I guess that made the drive a "little" longer for Jake. </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>-We had attended the Frickey Family Picnic</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>-I went back to work: this was very hard for me to do, but I must say this year of teaching is much easier. I also have noticed I have way more energy. This is probably because I am not pregnant. I have more time to reflect on what I truly enjoy about teaching and more time to ponder how I can grow as a teacher. The only downside is I can't seem to get caught up. I have so many things I want to do and so little time to do it. </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>-Jake and I started college again: As I mentioned earlier my classes aren't that bad and I really enjoy learning. Jake on the other had would prefer the classroom setting (our classes are online), but he is doing well.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sept:</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>-Labor Day weekend we went down to Denver to visit Jake's sister and attend a Youth Temple Trip. I was very grateful that Jake watched the kids so I could do an endowment session before the baptisms. I really needed this time for my spiritual needs. It gave me time to reflect on my blessings and feel the presence of the Lord. I realized that sometimes we make life harder that it needs to be. The Lord is ALWAYS waiting for us to let him into our lives, we just have to be willing to do so. </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>-My sister-in-law Liz gave birth to a baby girl the same day and decided to give her baby up for adoption. This experience has obviously sparked some emotions and hit home for our family, but I am grateful for Liz's selfless sacrifice to give her daughter a better life with a Daddy and Mommy. Children are gifts from God </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>-Callie also loved visiting her cousins. The day we left, her babysitter told me she was "talking" on the phone to Tatum and Bodie. Tatum let Callie sleep in her bed that Friday night. It was so sweet to watch. I'm glad we live close enough to Becca and Warren that Callie can have a relationship with her cousins. After all...she does pray for them every night. </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>-Callie got throw sick on the 9th and I had to leave work in the middle of the day. I am so lucky to work for a school that is family oriented. People covered my classes and I was able to leave 15 mins after the phone call. Callie threw up four times in an hour and once more after drinking chocolate milk, but was just fine the next day.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>-We attended my brother Tyler's football game against Mitchell in Bridgeport on Friday the 10th. My dad grilled pork steaks and we had an nice family dinner before hand. It was a great game even though the Bulldogs ended up loosing. </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>-Lilly has been fighting a fever the past three days. I think she may be teething, but even if she is not, I hope this is short lived. She is usually so happy, but has been very fussy lately.</div><div><br /></div><div>Well...until next time!</div><div><br /></div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09086719685093451370noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893848049680307558.post-37107463727204079352010-07-16T18:09:00.003-09:002010-10-02T18:50:26.998-09:00Callie & Lilly Laughing!<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxIzjV-PH8q895kUSKxjzSoSILcs65jE5GRDTTJX4Dc2pZsO_O1ON0y21Ak5Yn31hBk0AXN340qu1z0bnRLFw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09086719685093451370noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893848049680307558.post-59331667894846798992010-06-25T17:52:00.005-09:002010-06-25T18:02:11.968-09:00Pictures!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYXA4ixRnJyEzwdhCnwIo_t2lrd3EzVbXRWX1aV-qALh7nYkTS03k6tpADFuTp3vc0lMCQfHrsC3eML3kA9_-htuM35i3dH1uONEDWAL-euT6bxS4oreeIqVJoyv1vETOKx4VBaM8JE54/s1600/the+girls+06-16+012.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

She doesn't smile a whole lot, but is a very good baby. She really only cries when she is hungry, needs her diaper changed, or wants to be held. <div><br /></div><div>Callie absolutely adores her and says "my baby sester" She does a great job for the most part, but tends to be rough at times. Callie is also growing WAY to fast. She says the darnedest things. Including...."where's my Jacob Martin" "What you doin up there" "I alright momma" "I a big girl" "I not singing, I cryin" </div><div><br /></div><div>Just a couple of days ago I caught her in her first lie :S She had just gotten out of her bath and I didn't get underwear on her right away. When I came back into the room, there was a wet spot on the floor. I said "Callie did you pee on the floor" She looked right at me and said "No" When I touched it and it was warm, I said "yes you did" and she then replies "I pee on the floor" </div><div>I think it is really sad how quickly kiddos pick up on lying without ever being taught. However, she did learn cause now every time she goes to the potty she gets all excited and says"I potty in the potty; not on the floor"</div></div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09086719685093451370noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893848049680307558.post-45133345918482367802010-04-01T15:47:00.003-09:002010-04-01T15:57:51.716-09:00They call this maternity leave.....Well I must say that one of the greatest benefits of my job is paid maternity leave. I was able to stay at home with Lilly and gain much needed boding time. However, musical was also going on, so that meant spending Monday, Tuesday, & Thursday nights at practice. I did take Lilly with me, but unfortunately had to get a babysitter for Callie. (Thanks Katie) I think that was one of the hardest thing about my musical experience-I only got to see Callie maybe 2-3 hours a day. So, maybe you are thinking "what's so bad about that" Well I was also in charge of ticket sales. I spend may ours take reservations over my phone and getting the tickets ready for people to pick up. I also went back to school during the day probably 3 or 4 times and taught my JH/HS classes so the transition wouldn't be so hard (the was my own fault :)) <div><br /></div><div>I am not asking for pitty or sympathy, but more so writing this down, so the next time I have a baby and am on maternity leave will learn how to say NO. I am too much of a control freak and don't know how to let go of my responsibilities. Once again...EVERYTHING worked out. </div><div><br /></div><div>I am now back at school (I started Monday, 3-29-10) and adjusting to being a working mom during the day, and literally a single mom at nights because Jake isn't home. I have a knew found appreciation for what my husband does do. Jake manages to watch Lilly in the morning, complete his homework, and work full time in the evenings. I hang onto the knowledge that this too shall pass :)</div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09086719685093451370noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893848049680307558.post-19489791644377702552010-04-01T15:31:00.002-09:002010-04-01T15:47:33.072-09:00Kidney InfectionSo....I was feelin really good after I gave birth and was expecting to jump right back, BUT my body had other plans. You see, the Tuesday after I gave birth to Lilly, I started having really bad back pain. I thought I had pulled a muscle in my back and went the chiropractor Wednesday morning. I felt better for awhile, but then the pain intensified. <div><br /></div><div>Meanwhile, Jake had to go to work, so I was at home by myself with Lilly and Callie. The pain got so bad that I couldn't even move, so I called my Dad (he was at the hospital with my sister. she was in labor). Because my sister was progressing slowly, he came over and helped with the girls. Eventually I was able to get around again and thought everything was going to be okay; I even went and visited my sister and ran a few errands. However, later that night the pain came right back. As a result, I wasn't sleeping. While all this was going on I became an aunt again and was so excited to go meet Chase. I was talking to my Mom on the phone at 3:30 am and couldn't stop shaking. My Mom asked what was wrong, and I thought I was just cold. Once again...I was WRONG. </div><div><br /></div><div>At 7:00 am on Thursday morning I couldn't stop shaking and was in a lot of pain, so I had Jake take my to the ER. They admitted me to the hospital and I ended up staying 3 days. I was on five different antibiotics and on narcotics for the pain. It was really miserable, but I had a lot of people who helped out tremendously. Luckily, they let Lilly stay with me, but I had to have someone else with me at all times. Because Jake was working and my sister had just had her baby my parents were in between hospital rooms. The relief society sisters pitched in and so did Jake's sister. I can't thank them enough for what they helped do. </div><div><br /></div><div>Despite the tough situation, we were blessed and grew closer together as a result. </div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09086719685093451370noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893848049680307558.post-15203766761826645172010-03-13T20:15:00.005-09:002010-04-01T15:30:19.276-09:00Labor/Delivery story...readers beware<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR6QK5HWJvsV8oyO84eR3AZAszGvi7jjz5WnqUh70tcRVflE5npK3bJwkL0mM3qalz_zhZdOeWfe3qMTZ57MmM-IMuZzLGHl0CaCLWRETJ90Li11rhKSMGf3uHSfxK50i7dimhEMGr8f0/s1600/Pregnancy+2009+2010+019.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR6QK5HWJvsV8oyO84eR3AZAszGvi7jjz5WnqUh70tcRVflE5npK3bJwkL0mM3qalz_zhZdOeWfe3qMTZ57MmM-IMuZzLGHl0CaCLWRETJ90Li11rhKSMGf3uHSfxK50i7dimhEMGr8f0/s320/Pregnancy+2009+2010+019.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455330735903943010" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwc39tVh_s7l38f5XHhzuw_qO7btAnl7os58Ud06UZPEEs47UhqCQn7YVCYrCzyhtHyQcZie08AwUiB_r1brZkof9cCud7zoM020Sq_JVs3Fxluikp_nOOu94spbaXXqUMcIL-UySp008/s1600/Pregnancy+2009+2010+002.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwc39tVh_s7l38f5XHhzuw_qO7btAnl7os58Ud06UZPEEs47UhqCQn7YVCYrCzyhtHyQcZie08AwUiB_r1brZkof9cCud7zoM020Sq_JVs3Fxluikp_nOOu94spbaXXqUMcIL-UySp008/s320/Pregnancy+2009+2010+002.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455330731655266626" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiozeuqHZrE_IV2QbFb5bYiohOUYS5E2BCQ15vEOKJdD3he3M9ie7eBYR7wlHNn_VeZig31Nu-RRWkUeSqq3L9l5y_hA9gH98YCReAC_sURJMP1K_rnx3v4EZ8a6EKRI-nfT1iU33OdZSE/s1600/Pregnancy+2009+2010+001.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiozeuqHZrE_IV2QbFb5bYiohOUYS5E2BCQ15vEOKJdD3he3M9ie7eBYR7wlHNn_VeZig31Nu-RRWkUeSqq3L9l5y_hA9gH98YCReAC_sURJMP1K_rnx3v4EZ8a6EKRI-nfT1iU33OdZSE/s320/Pregnancy+2009+2010+001.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455330717692357810" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR2Gvv3PfNNq0lPsbcKibXRAcjroUtJq3ia8yYyfi-GxS6YcQZ9jO8tIMs-o8e5hkDsS-5IYrnMLhtWTcoU_ztjgjFwodKDD7_PLWQ7CLwJV_DuYGSvTx3UpTKYVSa7SpwPM9__dVYJ0c/s1600-h/Sept+2009+031.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR2Gvv3PfNNq0lPsbcKibXRAcjroUtJq3ia8yYyfi-GxS6YcQZ9jO8tIMs-o8e5hkDsS-5IYrnMLhtWTcoU_ztjgjFwodKDD7_PLWQ7CLwJV_DuYGSvTx3UpTKYVSa7SpwPM9__dVYJ0c/s320/Sept+2009+031.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448365615725826562" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBEuljeMiQNJG9cN-zh4lyFiCA7reOIbP7GSsU8bVLuatuYuiiI1VwoMoEQfUDujci1vy0p6UG7FRvBF-ymA9uO4gruzODlr1-MjkFcQd7k-5ksWx6EBY2KxKSWoFp1k_RPgysErQXYsI/s1600-h/Sept+2009+007.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBEuljeMiQNJG9cN-zh4lyFiCA7reOIbP7GSsU8bVLuatuYuiiI1VwoMoEQfUDujci1vy0p6UG7FRvBF-ymA9uO4gruzODlr1-MjkFcQd7k-5ksWx6EBY2KxKSWoFp1k_RPgysErQXYsI/s320/Sept+2009+007.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448365609288125842" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoP_jlZEHh89pEN3AAbu4-ZQs7qEjdVvXb1LCJi6l_T8zgHFJ01QDB-eapjhGS0WPUa3MDQ8XsCItlazlBvbKZv0Fyfhou-6yh_e6tmJoZ_gcc_8-Smz0icQyq6r-NIfWAyo7BTWyXJIU/s1600-h/Sept+2009+018.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoP_jlZEHh89pEN3AAbu4-ZQs7qEjdVvXb1LCJi6l_T8zgHFJ01QDB-eapjhGS0WPUa3MDQ8XsCItlazlBvbKZv0Fyfhou-6yh_e6tmJoZ_gcc_8-Smz0icQyq6r-NIfWAyo7BTWyXJIU/s320/Sept+2009+018.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448365598548844066" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>Let me just say, that the last two weeks of my pregnancy were some of the hardest. Luckily I was able to work up until the delivery, but needless to say it defiantly weighed on me. As I stated in my last blog, musical practices started the last three weeks of my pregnancy, but on top of that, I had to take some of my students to High Plains Music Festival in Chadron, Ne. My mom watched Callie, so Jake came with me, but I ended up getting sick. It was a very miserable trip, but my students did a great job. Needless to say, because I got sick, Callie an<span><span></span></span>d Jake ended up sick as well...I leave it at that.</div><div><br /></div><div>At my 36 week appointment, I was dilated to a 2 and 50% effaced</div><div>37 weeks, I was 3 and 50% and at my 38 week appointment on Feb. 12, 2010 I was a 4. This ended up being a very big day for our family. You see, Jake found out that he got a job working for Budweiser...(now before you go on judging, remember this economy stinks and frankly this is a great job. wonderful pay and full paid benefits for Jake) and that he started on the 16th. While we were very excited, it also made me very nervous as this is a nighttime job and I was afraid i'd go into labor while he was at work. Therefore, when I went into my dr. appointment I asked if I could be induced. My dr. said that should couldn't induce at 38 weeks, but if I wanted she'd strip my membranes. Of course I said yes (especially since I was already having contractions). My dr. also said that if I had regular contractions to go into the hospital in the morning and that she'd break my water. </div><div>So...we since my parents were already in Bluffs, we decided that we would sent Callie home with them. However, before we did this Jake, Callie, & I went to the YMCA so a family swim and to help move labor along. </div><div>That night, I defiantly was having contractions and I guess they were regular, but they didn't hurt. That morning, I lost my mucous plug, so I decided to go into the hospital. The worst they could do was send me home right? They admitted me and my contractions were 2-3 minutes apart, but I was still a four. (At this point, I really didn't think I would be staying, especially since my stomach was tightening as hard as a rock, but once again I wasn't feeling pain). The nurse asked me if I wanted to walk around and I I took her up on the offer. Jake and I walked the halls for a half and hour and I never once did I have to stop to breathe through a contraction, so when Dr. Painter came in to check me I was very surprised that I was an eight. At 9:30 Dr. Painter broke my water and I thought for sure that the rest was going to be quick. Boy was I wrong....my labor stopped, so after awhile they started me on pitocin. It took awhile to kick in by I finally started feeling my contractions although still not hard. I honestly think on only had to breathe through 10-15 of them before I started pushing. The pushing was the hard part. When Lilly was coming out she had her little hand by her head, so the circumference was more like 15 cm rather than 10 cm. Add almost two whole pounds to this baby and I defiantly had a hard time. However, even though they thought she might have shoulder dysplasia, everything looked great and we had a healthy baby girl. </div><div><br /></div><div>Our hospital stay was alright; however, on Sunday afternoon as we were getting ready to be discharged, we found out that Lillian's bilirubin levels were high. Unfortunately for us, we had a stay another night. Jake stayed at home with Callie and I stayed at the hospital, but this ended up being terrible for myself. I was having a hard time getting in and out of bed and the nurses left Lilly in the room with the lights. Every time Lilly cried which was often cause my milk wasn't in and she was never satisfied I had to get up and nurse her. Finally after the nurse change at 3:00 am, they let me hold her under the lights. This was very bright, but at least I got a couple hours of sleep....</div><div>We did get to go home on Monday, but much to our dismay, Callie ended up with the flu. I felt so bad for her but was SUPRISED when she ended up doing her business on the floor. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised given the change she was going through, but it made for and interesting first night home. :)</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09086719685093451370noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893848049680307558.post-64909243615763433522010-02-15T12:49:00.004-09:002010-02-15T12:54:11.042-09:00Lillian Leigh is Here!

As far as the pregnancy goes, everything is smooth sailing. I have had slim to non complications except the usual sore back, ribs, feet. etc. The only real complaint I have is my braxton hicks contractions. They are getting to be more annoying and more painful. I guess this is what happens as you approach the 36 week of pregnancy :)<div><br /></div><div>Work is going pretty smoothly, but VERY busy. We had musical auditions last week and this week are starting practices. Basically what this means for me is 6:30 to 10:00pm practices Monday, Tuesday, & Thursdays. I also have to be at Young Woman's on Wednesday nights, so I am away from home a lot. Hopefully Callie won't feel TOO neglected. </div><div><br /></div><div>As for Callie, she is now potty trained. They have a sticker rewards system at her Daycare and she is way ahead of all her "friends". She is also speaking more and more and is VERY opinionated. Last night she surprised me when she said "Not my fault Mommy." Another thing she says that is a constant reminder that she is growing up is "I fine". This is in reference to drinks or potty breaks. One of her big obsessions right now is Princess's. She loves them and always wants to watch them when she gets home from school. Other than that, we are enjoying our one on one time with her as we know that these days are limited. It is only a matter of time before her world and ours are flipped upside down for the better.</div><div><br /></div><div>Jake is very busy with school and whether he believes it or not, I am very proud of him. He has switched his degree again, but I am pretty sure this one is going to stick. He is now going into history education. He wants to teach high school and coach. We are both very excited for the day when he finishes. Even though he still has two years, we know that it will all be worth it in the end. </div><div><br /></div><div>I guess that is the boring Martin family update. I will try to post some pictures next time....</div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09086719685093451370noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893848049680307558.post-57469776342665652082009-12-30T16:20:00.003-09:002009-12-30T16:51:46.769-09:00christmas pictures<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ4SVYky3SWrqP4ROUApXoa0-keRUFKaz6GfatxzDaP61zyq42FYAlgUdZHqT1xyKH-Gmwd6fhT9O6lQ__UbEHS9XwsIOcLHhu6-7_WxGvE8aBCY5zej-bHWfv2Jwq0i3vPQAPAfJNTgU/s1600-h/christmas+09+043.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px;

I decided since I would be home I would consistently potty train Callie (see has been going for us in the morning and night, but hasn't been doing so well at daycare). Anyhow, she has been a superstar. She has had very few accidents and when she does, she has told me she had to go we just couldn't get her to the potty in time. With that said, I can't believe how grown up she is getting to be. She can communicate and says the cutest things. For example last night, she had a tummy ache and went a little number 2 in her pull-up. Jake said, "What did you do?" I went in to help her because she was having a hard time and when I went to put on a diaper she said "Daddy's mad at me; I poop in my diaper." <br />I am having a hard time remembering that she is not a baby anymore. I want to buy her too small of clothes and baby her, but she is a thriving independent two year old. I am so grateful to have her in our family!<br />Other than the potty training business, we have been busy picking Jake up from the airport, spending three days in Bridgeport, and surviving doctor appointments. Christmas was very special. I LOVE Christmas and LOVED watching my family members open their Christmas gifts. Callie was spoiled and received play food, a wooden table, books, wonder pet stuffed animals, movies, babies, clothes, a knitted sweater from Grandma Sharon, and a savings bond. Jake received waders, his 2010 hunting license and Cabela's gift cards. I was also spoiled and got a new travel crib, a beautiful purse, a new tote, jewelry, and clothes. <br />Despite how much I loved gift giving, I know that that was not the main part of Christmas, I am so grateful for a beautiful healthy family and all the joy they give me, and I look forward to what the new year brings.Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09086719685093451370noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893848049680307558.post-90573180545319375402009-12-13T17:06:00.003-09:002009-12-13T17:27:39.985-09:00Pictures...compliments of Jaime<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje0SEZpF8WAk97rbGDwWxwKXtfkstUOWtxpEVLJCVeX2UjjGwVQvgLfZVtK9HLtBUDwCd4CeP0ZUK4ktMcisglqhEJ5H_vqJ46YqFEVlqTQFntN_HY_OA9swK36DWX6dDvzv1mkHeN8fE/s1600-h/Dec+2009+003.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px;

November flew by; so much in fact that I can't remember much that happened, but I will try.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The first week of November I got to have a 24 week ultrasound. Everything looked good, but Lillian refused to show her face. Go figure, the first time I'm able to have a 4D ultrasound and my little munchkin wants her face to be a surprise. Just my luck!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />That same week, my swing choir competed in the Old West Weekend Show Choir Festival. I honestly didn't know if the kids were going to pull their show together, but they did and did a wonderful job.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The next week I had the Veteran's Day Program. Jake also had some excitement of his own, which included getting a shop lifter arrested. The story goes like this. I called Jake during my morning break and he proceeded to tell me that while he was doing his shopping, he saw two <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Walmart</span> managers chasing a young man. Jake wasn't sure what to do, so he called 911 and told the police what was going on. The shop lifter some how made it out the door and made a run for it. Jake thought he got away, but then saw him at the Taco Johns. Jake pulled up next to the police officers and told them where he was and when he drove by again they had him in hand cuffs. What happened to the shop lifter after that, we shall never know, but Jake felt good about helping the police out.<br /><br /><br />On November 16<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> I had <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">WTC</span> Honor Choir in Bridgeport and then had All-State Choir in Lincoln on the 18-20. The Sunday before, I also was asked to be Young Women's President. I have the typical "why me" response, but am excited to get to work with the youth.<br /><br /><br /><br />The next week was Thanksgiving. Jake's sister's family came down and we spend Thanksgiving at our neighbors, the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Taggarts</span>. It was a lot of fun; however, not as much fun as black Friday. Jaime (my neighbor) and I were on the road by 4:00 am. I was supper excited about all my great buys. Including a new comforter, pillows, a bed topper, craft supplies, and a pair of pants.<br /><br /><br /><br />I guess that brings me to December. This month has been a whirl wind and I feel like I am a chicken with it's head cut off. I have been trying REALLY hard to find balance, but my job alone is hard enough when you have 3 concerts in 3 weeks (I'm not complaining, that's the reality of a music teachers schedule come December).<br /><br /><br /><br />Despite all the chaos. I feel VERY blessed. Callie is the cutest little girl ever and has a very <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">rambunctious</span> personality. She loves to jump, sing, boss you around, say no, run away from you for fun, and give the most precious loves. The other night, I was frustrated with her and she snuggles up to me and says "love you too mommy." The comment was just enough for me to reevaluate the situation and realize maybe (cough, cough) I was over reacting.<br /><br /><br /><br />Callie also got to go eat breakfast with Santa yesterday and had a great time. She bounced up to his lap and sat there like a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">trooper</span>. I love her so much!<br /><br /><br /><br />Jake is also the best husband a woman could ask for. He helps me out with the house, sympathizes with me (most days :), takes care of Callie, and tries his hardest to make me happy. He does still love his hunting and tries to spend any extra free time he has in the duck blind. I have to admit I struggle with this when we don't see each other much as it is, but know that if I didn't get to swim I'd go crazy too.<br /><br /><br /><br />Hopefully I will get to blog more next week cause I will be on Christmas break.

Here is October a glance.</span><br /><span style="color:#009900;"></span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">October 2-4th, our family traveled to Laramie to visit Jake's sister's family. We got to eat Olive Garden and take Callie bowling for the first time</span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">October 6, 2009, I have my 20 week dr. appointment. Everything checked out fine and I'm growing normally. </span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">October 9, 2009, Jake and Callie went to Bridgeport to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa Frickey while I worked with my students on NE all-state choir music. </span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">October 10, 2009, Jake, my Dad, and Tyler went to the opening day of duck hunting. I took my students to all-state tryouts and Callie got to play in the first snow of the year. That night we went to some friend's house for dinner and had a lot of fun.</span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">October 17, 2009, Callie, some friends, and I went to the "Kidz Explore" at the Mitchell Events Center. Callie got to try a whole bunch of new things. Some of the things she did were work on a fake car, pet a baby cow, practice getting out of a fire, and jump in the jump house. That afternoon, we went to Bridgeport to celebrate my Grandma Sharon's 70th birthday. I also found out 3 kids made all-state choir with one alternate.</span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">October 23-24, 2009 we celebrated Callie's 2nd brithday by taking pictures, going out to lunch, carving pumpkins, and having a birthday party.</span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">The last week of October brought in a huge snow storm that resulted in 2 snow days. Callie, Jake and I enjoyed our time together "playing" and getting our house put together. We also got to enjoy Callie 3rd Halloween. This year she was a "good" witch. </span><br /><span style="color:#009900;"></span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Some milestones that Callie had taken on are couting to 10, singing twinkle, twinkle little star, talking in more compelete sentences, being more stubborn than ever, saying her prayers, and winning the hearts of her parents. She loves Wonder Pets and can sing along with the theme song. She also loves her friends and asked about them frequently. Books are also in her list of favorites. </span><br /><span style="color:#009900;">I personally can't believe how much they grow and change in such a short time. I am trying to enjoy each day for what it's worth as I know in less than four months our world as we know it will change again with the birth of Lillian. </span><br /><span style="color:#009900;"></span><br /><span style="color:#009900;"></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpuXJfEeQF7AgfZKLFU0VrlC1V090VLa-W-1ABiBMmq2V9tWP4AvglSI_MLUZFBcVlvB8XC6Cls42a9fj4kTcmifOJWGw2E_1Dtjg6WtkVQcgveYzyKbcBsU_icP4iYLzYNrb6pR33nJI/s1600-h/Sept+2009+024.jpg"><span style="color:#009900;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400082550131725298" style="WIDTH: 320px;

Everything looked fine, but they did an ultrasound a week later to confirm my due date. The baby was right on the dates and moving everywhere. However, I already knew this because I have been very fortunate to feel all my babies really early...14 weeks. The ultrasound tech said she thought it was a girl, but didn't want to say for sure. Needless to say there is nothing that would suggest otherwise, so I'm pretty confident in saying it's a girl.....BUT wouldn't it be a fun suprise for Jake if it did turn out a boy. I guess we shall find out shortly.

Homework. I think he's counting down the days until he's done forever. He's almost halfway there.<br /><br />A few other ups and downs that happened this month are:</span></div><div><span style="color:#000099;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#000099;">~Callie can JUMP! Both feet officially clear the floor now. </span></div><div><span style="color:#000099;">~The YMCA pool opened again after a month and a half and I have went 3 times this week. I took Callie twice and she is fearless. She holds onto the wall and then pushes backwards and trusts I will catch her as she goes under the water. She can blow bubbles and kick her feet and suprisingly likes her back as much as her belly. </span></div><div><span style="color:#000099;">~The school I work at was closed for 2 days due to a flu epidemic induding confirmed H1N1 cases. I had more than half of my 65 member choir out the two days before. Luckily I was spared and only got a bad head cold.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000099;">~Callie can always make me laugh....one Saturday we were laying in her bed attempting to take naps. I would open my eyes to see if she was sleeping and she'd do the same for me and then start laughing histerically. These are the moments I cherish as a mother. </span></div><div><span style="color:#000099;">~I got to go to the temple with my Mom and then cried when the Huskers lost a heart breaking game to VA Tech. I'll blame it on the pregnancy hormones.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000099;">~Jake and I have enjoyed attending my brothers football games.... although Jake gets WAY too involved. I am looking forward to the day when Jake can have his own team. :)</span></div><div><span style="color:#000099;">~Callie was sick with the flu and had to be out of daycare 2 days. Luckily my sister watched her and Callie recovered the day after recieving a preisthood blessing :) </span></div><div><span style="color:#000099;">~ Jake found out he only has 15 credits left before he recieves his associates.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000099;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#000099;">Well, I am off to bed!<br /></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxhpKMGMQYnE5vc0NQUn6hwOk53X37P6jYbmKITKAPf9oEpm0OunylaVXittN6rpxmYUZbB5Y0_R_6Ra4q_Nj8UE4IIBNPaKZ28538YC1GWwaxi1HLNEq1oFqtqk6iPry5U_8mVS0A8VU/s1600-h/Copy+of+Sept+2009+002.jpg"></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09086719685093451370noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893848049680307558.post-85626165887181682842009-09-06T06:20:00.003-09:002009-11-04T05:11:44.978-09:00Month of August<span style="color:#006600;">Well you gotta love BACK TO SCHOOL! On August 17, I started my new job at Mitchell Public Schools and absolutely love it. I can honestly say I have no complaints and go home pretty happy most days.<br /><br />Jake also started school again and is also working part-time for the NE Dept of Roads. He goes to classes <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">MWF</span> and works TR. He is also busy fulfilling his calling as ward clerk.<br /><br />Callie also got to start daycare and I couldn't be more happy with the facility. Callie's vocabulary has exploded, she is getting potty trained, she sleeps in a "big girl bed" (only after sleeping on a cot at daycare), and gets great social interaction. While I know that I am missing out on many precious memories, given the cards we have been dealt, I couldn't be more pleased. She is thriving and happy!<br /><br />Others that have happened are Callie got to be on the front page of the Star Herald. We attended Pioneer Days in Bayard, NE on Aug 22 and she was photographed picking up candy during the parade. It was kinda fun getting to see her in the paper the next day.<br /><br />My sister also had her Bridal Shower this past month and was married yesterday Sept 5, 2009. The wedding was beautiful and I am very happy for her. I got be her maid of honor and sang "When You Say Nothing at All" by Allison <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Krause</span> during the ceremony.<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Until</span> next time...</span>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09086719685093451370noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893848049680307558.post-34404929788054010682009-07-31T11:26:00.007-09:002009-11-04T05:12:31.582-09:00July 2009....<span style="color:#000000;">Well once again, I find myself procrastinating updating my blog. I could use the excuse that I was soooo busy, but the truth of the matter is I've been READING entirely too much (thanks to anita stansfield) and working hard on my farm town farm (ha!). Needless to say, we have had some exciting things happen this month. </span><br /><br /><span style="color:#000000;">July 10-18th we were traveling to Utah and Arizona and it was a lot of fun. Jake got all of his school shopping done in Utah and was able to spend some well needed time with his family. From Utah, Jake went back to NE to work 65+ hours a week and I went to AZ with Jake's family. I will say this much it was very nice to get away. On top of spending time with the in-laws, I got to see my great friend Suzanne who has an adorable 1 month old baby boy.<br /></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">The most memorable part of this trip was my flight home from the Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix. I was running a little late, and got to the airport 40 minutes before my flight left. I really thought people only ran through the airport in movies, but somehow I WAS THE ONE RUNNING! Callie was in one hand and my bag was in the other. She started out giggling and then proceeded to say "owe, <span style="font-size:130%;">Owe, </span><span style="font-size:180%;">OWE!" </span><span style="font-size:100%;">With the help of some wonderful people we made it to our terminal 10 minutes before the flight left. However, when we arrived at Denver we had to wait another 3 hours for the carseat because it was late checked. I learned a great lesson that day. ARRIVE AT THE AIRPORT EARLY! </span></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><br /></span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">Other than the trip, the month has been pretty uneventful. I have spend a lot of time relaxing because I have been having sciatic never pain. I finally went to the chirpractor and basically he said there wasn't a whole lot I could do. If I'm sitting down I'm not in pain. If I work I am. I only hope that going back to work won't be too uncomfortable. </span><br /><br /><span style="color:#000000;">Well I am sure I have missed a ton, but until next time...</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9oBQpm1cZmBOwANFlCeG23i66VxcJNMTW98wQ5s8e55LSF-uUgjXqddSZUAFGZ2-n4hACQJYWcpO7jc0ustIU_Fsb0oDlF6LhgXRWiIAEp17uHPvFlD8ExssPFU9j9Fkl2zD7IyaJEoE/s1600-h/arizona+and+utah+july+2009+002.jpg"><span style="color:#000000;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364726987320331650" style="WIDTH: 320px;

In fact, it was so busy that I don't even remember everything that happened, but I will try my best. Last week, the week of the 15th, Callie and I spent most of our afternoon's at the Zoo (I decided to get a family pass since it includes the splash pad and the price was very reasonable). Callie loves to learn about all the animals and says "Monkey, Monkeys" whenever we drive up. It is so cute. I am trying to teach her all the names of the animals and the sounds that they make.<br /><br />Jake and I also played softball a couple times last week. I subbed for my sister's boyfriends team of Wednesday and then played on our team on Friday. We really enjoy getting out and socializing while getting some "easy" exercise.<br /><br />Probably one of the biggest happenings was on Thursday the 18th. <span style="color:#00cccc;"><span style="font-size:180%;">Callie went potty in the potty for the first time! </span></span><span style="color:#ffffff;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Basically, she woke up from her nap dry and I put her on her potty chair not really expecting anything. I turned on the water and let it run a little bit and got her a book to read. Pretty soon I hear "dun dun ta da". I look in the potty and she had went. She hasn't went since but I haven't really pushed it either. She'll get it when she is ready.</span><br /><br />Another big happening of the week was that on Sunday, Jake was called as the ward clerk. We were both shocked. I am excited for Jake because he will grow spiritually, but am always nervous about the time commitment. However, I know that we will be blessed if we perserver. Oh....I have to tell you the story behind this because I think it's funny. Before we moved to Scottsbluff, Ne we lived in Chadron, Ne. The Sunday that we talked in Church, Jake said that he loves football and loves to watch it on Sunday. After his talk the High Council Man, said "if you won't give it up, the Lord will give you a calling that will make you give it up." Low and behold, he knew what he was talking about because Jake will be busy every Sunday until he is realised. Ha.<br /><br />Anyway, Callie just woke up from her nap. Until next time....</span>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09086719685093451370noreply@blogger.com1
