A Valentines Baby Blessing

Jude's Baby Blessing

For those of you who are unfamiliar with this tradition, in our faith, when a baby is born, the father usually gives a "Name and a Blessing" to the baby during the sacrament meeting. In Jude's case, (and similarely with all babies) Trey announced his name, then proceeded to bless him with love, health, faith, wisdom, service etc. Trey did an incredible job, it was a beautiful, memorable blessing!

It was memorable for several reasons; Fred and Logan drove (10 hours each way) all the way from Memphis to meet Jude and be here for his blessing, Trey got everyone in the circle to wear vests - and most to grow mustaches for the event! Baby Jude even sported a vest! And it was Valentines Day!


Brooklyn was in heaven with her "DiDi and Papa" to play with all weekend!

Judy was definitely missed at this event, we were so glad Fred and Logan made the trip up for it.
Thanks so much for coming Fred and Logan! We love you guys!

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...
