Holland

I completely fell off the wagon in my blogging and I feel a sense of loss - not recording all the wonderful and crazy times between last year and this. I am not promising anything, but this is my attempt to begin again.
My sister Dana motivated me - we are kind of in competition - she always beats me. Both times we have been pregnant at the same times with dates within weeks of eachother, I have always been first. But she has always had her baby first! This time she was supposed to have her baby 3 weeks before me, yet she beat me by almost a week! Little Porter is adorable and it's fun to compare notes and support each other. See HERE for her blog.
Hopefully I will soon be able to record my birth story. For now, I will just say that myHypnobabies water birth came to fruition and I was soooo grateful for Hypnobabies to get me through. Hopefully this isn't a trend, but Holland definitely tried my patience more than it's probably ever been tried before as he took an extra 3 weeks to come!!! I am so glad I did wait so that we could have the natural birth I hoped for.

I started teaching my first group of students just 3 weeks after Holland was born and have been loving it!
These photos were all taken by my friend JENNA . She's amazing and isn't he CUTE isn't he!!

Option for a Healthy Birth

I am not typically a big writer on my blog. I usually just post a few dozen photos of my adorable child and make little comments below. Well, I need some sort of outlet for all of my frustrations and thoughts and would love some feedback on them. As many of you know, I ended up getting a C-section with Brooklyn after planning on a completely natural birth with the help of Hypnosis. That is a whole nother story, and I wont' go into it, but I learned a lot about the what I want and need to have a healthy delivery. After extensive research into the process of birth, I know that it is possible for me to have a beautiful, natural birth and the things that that entails really aren't extreme and are in fact proven to be healthier choices for both me and my baby. (For our book group this month, we are reading "Gentle Birth Choices" by Barbara Harper, which is one of several books I have read on the topic and one that I would highly recommend - as well as the documenary ...

Washington D.C.

So I am finally getting around to catching up on the blog! My excuse for not blogging for months is that life has been insane - don't we all have that excuse though? Here is a brief description of mine though. Blogs to come. October 10th, Trey left for DC and I had a few days to get everything together for 3 weeks away. I decided to bottle a dozen or so bottles of Grapejuice, throw a dinner party etc. But soon we were off. We spent 11 amazing days in DC with our INCREDIBLE friends the Boeys. They were so hospitable and fun! (Adding to the fun and craziness of it all, My Sister Brooke and her family just happened to be there at the same time, and my BYU roommate Sariah and BFF from Childhood Kelly both live there) (SEE BLOG) Straight from D.C., we went to Georgia for 5 days to visit Trey's Grandparents. It was amazing and I will blog soon about that! Spent Halloween there As soon as I got home, my dear companion from Taiwan was in town, so I met up with her and 2 of my oth...

He Arrived!

Baby Jude Harris Clark Finally arrived January 31st at 4;19am. 8lb 7oz, 22 inches long and perfect in every way! I will have more photos of the Handsome Man as well as my birth story soon. For now I am just going to do an overview of all the events that led up to the wonderful arrival. Since my actual due date was January 22nd, that is when Brooke, my older sister/best friend/hero, came to help. She brought her most adorable daughter Hannah with her and Brooklyn was basically in Heaven. A playmate and the most awesome aunt ever who constantly has another activity to do with her. They played out in the snow together, made cookies for the nurses when I was getting ready to go to the hospital, colored, painted, went on outings and I don't even know what else because I was sleeping a lot of the time they were together having fun. On top of it, she spoiled me rotten by cooking, cleaning and even shopping for us! My meal contribution was Chicago Deep Dish Pizza and Culver's Froz...
