Jane and Gyte were too cute in their Halloween costumes this year, so naturally we had to do a photoshoot. My mom made Jane's fox costume and found Gyte's bear costume. So far she has dressed my child/children every year for Halloween. </div>

Fall in Seattle is exactly how I remember it. I find myself smiling as I drive through the light rain and low clouds. In the past I didn't appreciate the fall in the northwest. It felt like the weather was always the same and the seasons didn't really change. I loved all the colors of fall in Cleveland and Pittsburgh, but fall was also a reminder of winter. Cold, freezing, brown, and dirty. Months of shoveling the driveway, scrapping the car, and stuck indoors. Being the the northwest this year I am not so worried. </div>

The best part about this park are the blackberry bushes surrounding it. You can smell the berries before you even enter the park. It's one of those smells that reminds me of my childhood and makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :)</div>

A lot has happened since my last post. Things have been crazy busy adjusting to two kids, matching for residency, visiting family in Utah, packing, moving across the country, finding housing, starting residency, and somehow finding time to write and illustrate a children's book app with Jeff. </div>

Jeff matched at the University of Washington in psychiatry for residency. I can't even tell you how happy we were. Match day was like Christmas, the dentist, going into labor, and winning the lottery all rolled into one. They crammed all the students into one room (actually it was the lobby of a building on campus) and you have to wait until 12:00 to find out where you will spend the next few years of your life. We feel extremely blessed to have matched at UW and are so excited to be living in the northwest and closer to family. </div>

Jeff parents helped us drive both our cars to Utah, which surprisingly both made the journey. We only ran out of gas once after we pulled into the hotel parking lot for the night. The car wouldn't start when we went to go fill it up after checking in. Luckily the receptionist had a gas can we could borrow and the gas station was just across the street. We spent the weekend in Utah and left one of our cars for my parents to drive to Washington for us. We made a pit stop in Richland and spent a couple days with Jeff's aunt and uncle. Clark the dog loved following Jane around.</div>

Since we've been here the weather has been amazing! Maybe even a little too hot. Visiting the Sound is always a great way to cool down. Jane was in her element with all the rocks around. Every time we leave the house she finds another rock for her "rock collection." She hasn't noticed I've been getting rid of them yet. </div>

So if you don't care you can stop reading now. :) Being pregnant is one of my least favorite things in the whole world. I know some women that absolutely love it, but I'm just not one of those people. The morning sickness, weight gain, and overall discomfort made it really hard to talk myself into having another baby, but I went forward in faith knowing that it was the right time for our family and it was what the Lord wanted us to do. Even though this past year has been one big trial, I feel extremely blessed to have this little boy in our family.<br />

It took Jeff and I a couple years before we were finally able to have Jane, so I was expecting it to take a while to get pregnant with my second. This made telling Jeff I was pregnant even better because he wasn't expecting it so soon. I sent him this picture on his phone after he got home from school one day. His reaction was priceless. :)<br />

Jane and I spent a lot of time cuddling on the couch watching TV. Gyte was such an active baby even Jane could feel him move.</div>

Gyte was measuring small so I went in for a couple extra ultrasounds. This one is a week before he was born.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I ended up being induced a few days before my due date because they were worried about his decrease in growth. I had been dilated to a four for a couple weeks and extremely uncomfortable so I wasn't too disappointed with the change in plans. The only problem was that my mom wasn't flying out to help with Jane for a few more days. Living far from all our family has been hard, but our friends out here have become like family. Several people offered to watch Jane and we worked everything out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We dropped Jane off at the Ashworth's house and headed to the hospital on November 18th at 8 AM. After we checked in and settled down I started on Pitocin around 10. I didn't have a whole lot of progress the first few hours so they kept upping the dose. To kill time Jeff and I picked a movie to watch from the few select films the hospital offered. We watched E.T. because Jeff had never seen it and I convinced him it was a classic. The funny part was I couldn't get the alien image out of my head so by the time Gyte arrived with his cute fuzzy head, wrinkly forehead and big eyes, I couldn't help but see the resemblance to E.T. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
By the time I started to get uncomfortable with my contractions I got an epidural. At first it was only working on one side. They tried tilting me to the side and giving me some more drugs and eventually I was numbed up evenly. The epidural is one of my favorite parts about delivery (besides the baby that is). It's so relaxing and peaceful. I wouldn't do it any other way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After awhile the epidural started to wear off on one side of my body. The contractions were really strong and I was worried I would have to deliver without the full epidural. They gave me another strong dose of meds and it kicked back in. After a while the baby's heart rate started to drop more than it should so I had to be put on oxygen and go on my hands and knees. That is a lot harder than it sounds when you're extremely pregnant and can't feel the lower half of your body. I went from being dilated to a 4 to a 10 in forty minutes, which was causing his heart rate to drop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My doctor arrived at the hospital for her shift just in time for the delivery. The only problem was I couldn't push because I forgot to take my heartburn medicine that morning. They gave me a dose of heartburn medicine and I was ready to go. After a few pushes and about 25 minutes later Gyte came right out. It was a surprise to see his peach fuzz head as Jane had massive amounts of long black hair when she was born. He was 6 lbs 5 oz, 19 inches long, and perfect as could be. I loved the first few minutes of skin to skin time. It's the perfect way to end a hard pregnancy and begin a new life. I remember how the nurses kept saying how perfectly pink he was and complimenting his round head. Ha ha. One nurse told me he looked like a c-section baby because his head was so round. </div>

My recovery went a lot smoother than it did with Jane, but the hospital stay was much worse. With Jeff in and out to take care of Jane I was left alone more than I would have liked. I only got two hours of sleep both days and was exhausted. I was on the overflow floor of the hospital because it was so busy and just happened to be right next to a door that the nurses liked to open and close a lot and have very loud conversations nearby. For some reason I was in one of those beds that fill with air and adjust every few minutes to prevent bed sores. But all it did for me was wake me up every time I fell asleep. I spent the second night alone so Jeff could go home to Jane and when I tried to send Gyte to the nursery to get a couple hours of sleep I was told the nursery was closed because they needed all the staff on the floors. Although my stay was a little rough, all the nurses and staff were extremely nice so I can't complain. </div>

Jane meeting Gyte for the first time was probably my favorite part of everything. Just watch the video below and you will see how excited she was. She has been such a good sister to Gyte... most of the time. But hey, she's only two and that's a lot to ask from a two-year-old. </div>

Jeff decided to take a month-long reading elective to study for the boards and then two weeks of vacation this summer. Since he could study anywhere, we planned one big trip out west. We spent the first few weeks in Washington and the last two in Utah. It was so much fun to see everyone! Jane loved all the cousin time and I can't believe how much she grew up while we were away. Since this baby boy is due just a few weeks before Christmas, and we will be staying in Cleveland, we had to make our trip count.</div>

And the bump at 18 weeks. We have lots of exciting things to look forward to in the next few weeks: Jeff finishing his surgery rotation, starting the <b>LAST</b> year of medial school, our sixth anniversary, finding out the gender of the baby, and going on a six week long vacation to Seattle and Utah. </div>

We aren't huge fans of cake around here, but we had to have a birthday cake for Jane. So we made this lemon poppy seed cake and smothered it in cream cheese, vanilla bean, lemon zest frosting. It was SO good. Unfortunately ants discovered it after the party and we had to toss most of it. Now I'm just looking for another excuse to make cake...</div>

Pi Day has a special place in my heart because of my love of pie and the fact that Jeff proposed to me on Pi Day six years ago. Our romantic date may have been pushed back because Jeff was competing in a calculus integral bee. But he did win enough money to pay for dinner so that counts for something, right? As I was reminiscing I thought about how much has changed in a year. Take a look at these pictures and you will get the idea.<br />

In 2013 Jeff was doing a year of research with regular 8-5 job and no homework. This meant we had a lot of free time. So naturally we made a lot of good food. We also decided to enter a Pi Day contest online with our Three Point One S'mores Pi. Jeff came up with the recipe and I took the pictures. This was a very serious project; we played to win. It took us three days of baking, picture taking/editing, and writing to complete. Here's the description:<br />
<br />
"Who doesn’t love s’mores? Campfire-toasted marshmallows, milk chocolate, and crispy graham crackers make a delightfully messy treat. This recipe draws on the classic campfire treat, but refines it with a rich chocolate custard, vanilla bean marshmallow créme, and browned butter graham cracker crust."<br />
<br />
Here's the <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Three-Point-One-Smores-Pi/">link</a> if you want to see the whole thing.<br />
<br />
Now take a look at our Pi Day 2014 attempt. It's pretty sad, I can admit it. A fluffernutter cream pie. It has four ingredients whipped together and poured into a store bought graham cracker crust. It took us five minutes and I only took pictures to compare the two. Let's just say our priorities have shifted a bit. Between playing with Jane, working on my art business, Jeff in school and releasing his first app, we have been keeping busy. And we still find time to make good food on the weekends. And by "we" I mean Jeff with a little help from Jane and me.Jamie Clarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17377376862233746628noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040579982671499735.post-80675033824026960682014-03-09T21:54:00.000-04:002014-03-09T22:16:14.518-04:00Winter 2014<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been a very long winter here in Cleveland. Even the locals say they haven't seen a winter this bad since the 70's. Jane and I have been finding things to keep busy and can't wait for the weather to warm up a bit. Our days are filled with coloring, tea parties, dress up, visits to the Children's Museum, icicle hunting, trips to the mall, tower and fort building to name a few. </div>

<span style="text-align: start;">Jeff had his spring break the first week of March and we were lucky enough to have one warm day at the park. Jane remembered how much she loves the swings and has watched the video below about 10 bajillion times already. Guess what won, cookies or swings. I can already tell what I will be doing most of this spring and summer. :) </span></div>

We were able to see both sides of the family, and even though half of us ended up sick, we still found time for food, games, gifts, and cousin play time. Jane LOVED her cousins. She adored her older cousins Allie and Benjamin, and by the end of the trip she decided that Evan (four months younger than her) was allowed an occasional hug.<br />

Then we headed off to Hawaii! We had a seven hour layover in Seattle, or so we thought. Amelia picked us up from the airport and we went over to my parent's empty house, since they were still in Utah. It was fun to see our babies together. Steph even brought her baby! :) Steph drove us back to the airport and halfway there Jeff looked at our tickets and realized our flight was leaving an hour earlier than we thought. Our flight had changed a month before, which we wrote down on our schedule, and somehow we didn't get the memo that it changed back. We raced over to security only to find out the long line wasn't moving fast enough for us to make our flight. Our only option, according to security, was to ask every single person in front of us in line if we could cut. With ten minutes till the door closed Jeff started asking everyone if we could cut, one by one. It was really quite pathetic. I'm crying from stress and embarrassment, but luckily Jane was looking especially cute. And to our surprise everyone let us through! We ran through the airport like on Home Alone and made it to our gate with just three minutes to spare and walked on to a completely boarded plane. I was never so happy to be on a long flight in my life.<br />

The rest of the week was much less stressful. We spent lots of time playing on the beach and Jane tasted the sand on everyone we visited. We went to the Pearl Harbor Memorial, tide pools, visited the Hawaii temple, lots of walks, and snorkeling. My favorite part about the trip was just being outside. It's funny how much you miss that during the long winters. The hardest part of the trip was not having any bathtubs in the house. Jane did NOT like showers, which was a problem since we went to the beach everyday. Eventually we just gave up and decided she was clean enough.<br />

We started our journey back on Saturday and spent the night in California. The next morning we flew into Denver for our two hour layover. Unfortunately the fight kept getting pushed back three hours every time we checked. There was a big storm headed our way and we were possibly going to get stuck for two more days until the next flight. Miraculously our plane arrived and we made it back home beating the storm by an hour.<br />
We spent a lot of time at the Denver airport leaving Cleveland and coming home. Luckily they have moving walkways, which may have been the highlight of the entire trip for Jane.<br />

<div>
The next couple days we had unusually cold weather. Like -38 degrees with the wind chill. Our pipes froze but we couldn't find the freeze anywhere so we thought it was the main line. There was some construction down the street on the water line and we were worried that's where the problem was. Luckily our neighbor downstairs went and looked again and found the freeze in a back room in the basement. I heard the water turn back on while Jane was throwing up. Now that was a miracle. Every time Jane threw up the rest of the day I said a prayer of gratitude our water was working again. A baby throwing up is hard. A baby throwing up without any way to clean it up is a nightmare.</div>
<div>
Overall I feel like our trip was a success! Although I can't say I will be jumping at any opportunities to travel with a toddler anytime soon. It's fun, but man it is exhausting! </div>

Life has been pretty great at the Clark home. My parents were able to come for two weeks over Thanksgiving. Jane was spoiled to pieces and loved having her grandma and grandpa here. </div>

The gallery wall is filled with photographs and pictures I drew of dogs and bunnies (Jane's favorite). Usually after a nap Jane insists on visiting the pictures and identify the dogs by pointing and panting. Then she holds her bunny up to the pictures of the bunnies and makes them kiss.</div>

Jane loves to stand on her head, color with her crayons, use her four new teeth, play in her tutu and princess dress, and scatter her Halloween candy all throughout the house. She has turned into a little tornado. She has recently learned to express her feelings of frustrations very forcefully. It's hard to believe there is so much sass in such a sweet little girl. Jeff has been busy with his rotations and writing his first app. I've been working on my art and launched my new <a href="http://www.jamieclarkart.com/">website</a>. Jeff's parents came to visit for a few days and Jane loved all the extra attention.<br />

Jane is constantly surprising us with how much she is actually understanding. Jeff and I have started spelling things, but it's only a matter of time until she starts to understand those few words like B-A-T-H and W-A-L-K. No, she is not a dog. She is also quite the chatterbox and loves to talk on her phone. I just hope that's not how I sound when I'm on the phone. I'm sure it's not as cute as that. </div>Jamie Clarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17377376862233746628noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040579982671499735.post-64266635039798023402013-08-14T21:36:00.001-04:002013-08-14T21:38:41.654-04:00Washington Trip<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Funniest story of the trip: My dad brought Jane and Macsen out to jump on the trampoline. He was holding onto Jane's hands and jumping while Macsen ran circles around them. It was after a nap and Jane had a very full diaper. With one big jump Jane's poopy diaper fell off and and her feet landed in it. My dad very carefully carried her off the trampoline by dangling her by her hands. Meanwhile Macsen continued to dangerously run circles around the poopy diaper. My mom hurried outside to try and stop the disaster ahead. When she tried to talk him down from the trampoline, he picked up the diaper and threw it right at her! Luckily she ducked just in time.<br />

Jane has some serious dance moves and can't contain herself when she hears a beat. At first we thought she was just performing for attention. But I often walk in on her dancing alone with a noisy baby toy in hand. She'll push the music button, dance until the song is done, and push it again for the next tune. She has very particular taste though and doesn't hesitate to skip the songs she doesn't like.</div>

Good news! Jane finally figured out how to crawl. No big deal or anything... it only took her 14 months. Although she still prefers scaling the walls or walking with backup. She lacks the confidence to walk on her own unless she is walking to me or Jeff. </div>

Jane also has a favorite toy that keeps her company while she sleeps. It's too cute how much she loves her bunny. </div>

It is unfortunate she choose a white stuffed animal as her comfort toy. Let's just say it's not going to be white for long. </div>

Jeff successfully defended his thesis this morning and passed! All that hard work paid off. And to top it all off we bought a new/used car! I'm so excited since it's going to be the one I drive. The best part is it has automatic locks so I don't have to unlock three doors by hand every time I take Jane somewhere. </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Jeff had some meetings in D.C. the week before Jane's birthday so we decided to make a trip out of it. We were able to stay with Jeff's sister and her family for a few days. By chance, Jeff's other sister and family were flying in from Utah to visit the same week. Jane LOVED seeing her cousins. The best game they played was probably taking turns pushing Jane and her eight-month old cousin, Evan, in a doll stroller. Jane even got in on the fun and pushed Evan around. </div>

We decided to celebrate Jane's birthday a week early and she didn't object. I've always loved the cake smash tradition on a baby's first birthday and I couldn't wait to see what Jane would do. Everything she does is so dainty and delicate even when she's making a mess. </div>

<span style="text-align: start;">Nicole was nice enough to give haircuts even on her vacation. She cut my hair (a whole seven inches!) and gave Jane her first hair cut. I was a little sad to see her baby hair go, but I LOVE how it turned out. </span></div>

Jane loves to eat just about as much as Jeff and I do. She's been eating almost everything we give her and we can already tell what her favorite foods are. Here's the running list:<br />
Caramelized carrot risotto<br />
Salmon with a cashew butter sauce<br />
Porchetta<br />
Roasted broccoli with lemon and garlic<br />
Caramelized carrot and swede soup<br />
Pepperoni<br />
Chana Masala<br />
Whole wheat pasta with fresh pesto<br />
Sous vide teriyaki chicken<br />
<br />

Two years ago was the worst. You can read about it <a href="http://agirlnamedjamie.blogspot.com/2011/04/april-fools-day.html">here</a>. I thought we would be safe living a thousand miles apart, but boy was I wrong. Look what I received in the mail April 2nd.<br />
<br />

Wouldn't you be freaking out? I sure was. I started g-chatting with Jeff and we figured out something was off. It was then I looked at the postmark and saw Dallas, Texas. Beth Graham wins again! I think the best part about this prank was the relief of not actually having a $300 ticket to pay.<br />
<br />
This was my prank for April Fools. It was a little spur of the moment idea I had as I was about to post the real pictures on Facebook.<br />

We had a great Easter this year. Saturday was our ward party and Jane found her first Easter egg. Well, we found it for her, but she still loved it. We were bad parents and didn't do Easter baskets, but Jane didn't mind. The Easter Bunny did hid some candy for me that I was nice enough to share with Jeff. I love Jane's dress that Jeff's mom bought for her. And if you can't tell she loved it too! . </div>

Yes, we realize how nerdy that sounds. I guess it makes it easy to remember because who doesn't like pie? This year we decided to enter a pie contest on instructables.com. With Jeff's mad cooking skills, and my love of making things pretty, we formed a great team. Take a <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Three-Point-One-Smores-Pi/">look</a>!<br />

We worked on this pie for two days! Luckily when we make it again, it should be pretty easy since we don't need to measure everything out into pretty bowls and get step by step pictures. It turned out awesome though. I think the best part was the homemade marshmallow topping. I could eat that stuff by the spoonful. If you like it, give us a vote <a href="http://www.instructables.com/contest/piday2013/">here</a>.Jamie Clarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17377376862233746628noreply@blogger.com4
