I finished reading this book back in December which was my goal for 2011! <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Christ-James-E-Talmage/dp/0875793266">Jesus the Christ by James Edward Talmage</a> I luved every minute of reading it and it felt especially awesome to finish it right around the Christmas season. I learned and gained so much {more} love and respect for my Savior Jesus Christ by reading this book. In a way, Christ became more relatable to me. His teachings, His feelings, His outlook, His sacrifice is and are so real.</div>

Then, since I was about 34 weeks pregnant and it was the beginning of a new year, we thought it would be perfect timing for a move! It was only two streets over, so it wasn't that big of a move! </div>

It's prefect for us. On a cul-de-sac, the views are spectacular of the mountains, and we are in luv with our big backyard & neighborhood! It's a surreal feeling to be "settled" in a way. We have been on the go so much over the past 10 years, always moving, always thinking about our next place. We are thrilled to be a few blocks from my one sister, Emily...a few miles from my sister Lindsey...so close to my mom and dad...a quick drive to Idaho to the Kesler Klan...and near so much extended family! The move went so smoothly because we had so much help...it was amazing to see our family and ward pitch in and really go above and beyond for us. The end of my pregnancy was pretty hard and I was overly thankful for the help...it was really something that I will never forget. It was a great reminder to me that small acts of service and love can have a huge impact on others. What seemed like "no big deal" to others as they came and went (cleaning, meals, lifting, etc) was life changing to me. I cried alot during those last few weeks because I felt so blessed and so luved. thanx you again!</div>

Last minute touches on the baby room and finishing my baby BOY quilt (it's still weird to say I have a boy!). Putting his quilt together was a bit harder...it's basically everything crazy boyish...everything I hope he will love from trucks to sports to dinosaurs...it turned out cute! </div>

J. Cameron Kesler, Jr {Jimmy} was born February 28th at 9:12pm. The little man didn't want to wait until February 29th, like we had hoped for, but he is and will always be the greatest birthday gift I ever received. The delivery was super quick and although at the time it didn't seem perfect or ideal...looking back, it was just that. Luckily the hospital was so close to our house and there were no other patients laboring, and my nurses were amazing (Melissa & Kristen). And so special that ALL my sisters could be there (Amy had flown in from New York and Jess from Denver to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday). Which was a great support to Cameron (someday I should write a post about how he was hiding in the corner and, I quote, told me in a quiet voice that I should "probably calm down" when I was "slightly" panicking when they told me I was 8cm when I arrived...yeah. good times. xo cam.) </div>

My Leap Year Birthday was topped off by coming home from the hospital to this lovely present waiting for me. If my hormones weren't off the chart then, they defiantly were after I saw this! I cried and cried! What a beautiful surprise. It's also a player piano, which is so cool. I'm in love with it.</div>

Jimmy's blessing was extra special...I think he was blessed just to be surrounded by all the amazing men in his life, Priesthood holders, that are all examples for this little boy. I hope he can look back on this picture and know he was loved before his little life even began. That he had a crowd cheering him on, hoping the best for him, and loving him. </div>

She literally did glow on her baptism day. She luved her beautiful white dress and the white Scriptures her daddy presented to her! She did a great job preparing for her baptism...we had been working hard since about January on her baptism book. She memorized some scriptures, Articles of Faith and did all she could to get ready for her interview with the Bishop. We were really proud of her. </div>

Lu loves our new house! "Can we stay her forever!?" She has a super cute friend next door that she adores. She is a great help with the baby brother! She still laughs hysterically when I nurse him..."What's up with that?!" is what she first said when I brought him home from the hospital and didn't give him a bottle. She is a character. She is reading like a champ and doing her best not to boss me around too much. She only calls me boring occasionally and makes a mean peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch somedays. </div>

It ain't all peaches and cream...I'm still trying to figure 4 out...get sleep when I can and try not to get irritated at all the things I feel like I'm letting "slip through the cracks". It's hard. I finally had my post-baby psychotic breakdown a week or so ago...I cried for two days straight and I don't even remember why. But since then, I'm actually feeling even better!!! I really can't complain, I feel like it's been such a smooth recovery and the baby is so good...but it's just that weird adjustment period. It's strange how your mind races after you have a baby...time races...things just race in general. Who knew it could be such a challenge to "work to slow it down. But I'm trying to do just that. I am better when I can do it. I'm better all the way around...mom, wife, friend, sister...when I can breathe a little and not try to overwhelm myself for the sense of "being able to do it all." It did feel awesome though to be able to come home to my house after having the baby and be able to clean my floors again, cook meals, and do things that I had been pretty much unable to do, or at least do well. The weather has been gorgeous and it feels amazing to be outside in the mountains, breathing fresh air and working out again!</div>

Jilly can totally related to the psychotic breaks! Day 2 when Jim was home, we had some friends over visiting and she came in chewing a mouth full of dog food to get attention. She was also telling everyone that came over, when they walked into the house, "You stink!" She said it to everyone. So embarrassing. She's only pooped her pants once to show how mad she is that she is no longer the baby. She knows all the buttons to push and sometimes says "Mommy" 400 times before 10a.m. She cries alot too. But she luvs to get diapers and wipes to help change diapers. She is the binki nazi...letting us all know the minute the baby is crying! She luvs to watch Rapunzel and is taking a great afternoon nap for me. She gives the best kisses and luvs taking tubs in mommy's tubby! her hair is long enough for pigtails and it makes my heart melt to see her little legs running around so fast, keeping up with her big sisters. I really do luv my Jilly. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> We had an awesome Thanksgiving! All of our Freeze Family was in town for a wedding from Indiana and it was great to spend time with them! We luved watching all the cousins play, eating some nice meals together and enjoying some convo! This year I am most grateful for time...I've been reminded lately, it seems again & again, how very precious it is and I feel blessed to be able to share my time with people I love...</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> We took a surprise trip to Disneyland the day after Thanksgiving! It was a surprise to the girls...we took them to breakfast Friday morning at Kneaders...after we ate we went around and said what we were thankful for...the kids went first and then the parents went...we said things like "castles, princess shoes, light sabers, etc"...that is why Vannah has that grin on her face...</span></div>

Hellish. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The girls LUVED seeing all the characters and princesses! The lines weren't bad at all but it still felt like there were a million people there! We went from sun-up til sun-down and they rode every ride except the submarine one. I couldn't ride a few of the rides and I thought Cam was going to turn green after having to go on so many rides...over and over again! The girls were in heaven...Lucy at first would be a little scared on the bigger rides but then as soon as they ended, the famous phrase "Let's go again" spoke out over a huge smile!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Vanny finished her basketball season...she luved playing and having her daddy coach! She was really into it, I don't know where she gets it :) But really it was kinda funny to see her intensity and be so determined...I loved watching her play! It was also super cute to see her playing with her cousin Ellie...somehow they learned about the "chest bump" (thanx cam) and they did it after every time they scored...hilarious.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Jilly is milking her last few months of being the "baby". She demands to be rocked to bed each night, throws some legit tantrums, smothers you with kisses and big blue batty eyes, refuses to go to Nursery now for the past six weeks (heaven help me), demands to know "what you makin for dinner!"... BUT she is the baby for now, so I figure I will let her.At least until after christmas and then I'm gonna have to come down on her...right...</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">The "rule of three" is a principle in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writing" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Writing">writing</a> that suggests that things that come in threes are inherently funnier, more satisfying, or more effective than other numbers of things. So it seems lately, I'm totally a fan of the three's!</span><br />

Christmas! #2. My birthday - yes it is a holiday! Um, hello it only comes around every 4 years, so Leap Year is defiantly a holiday in my book!}. Halloween really is a big deal around here and it does make things funnier and more satisfying in a weird, "I can put my make-up on wrong and look good doing it" kinda way! I figured this is probably Vannah's last year of being excited about being a "family theme" so when I brought up SUPER HEROS and the girls were pumped, I couldn't wait to sit down with them and order their costumes online! It's funny how the characters they picked fit their personalities to a T. We had a great time celebrating the holiday at a few different parties: Mystery Dinner at the Parkinson's, Adult Masquerade Party at Blue Lemon, a day up at Gardner's Village with Nachelle & her girls, and the annual rocking Garage Party we host! My sister Emily took the reigns for me this year and held it in her garage (because she did all the food, bless her!). Cam & I still set-up all the gear...we make a few improvements every year and we seriously had so much fun! Carmel apple cider on the camping stove, doughnuts, a skull that had fog coming out of it...just a few fun additions! The weather was sensational so it was fun to walk around the neighborhood with the girls...I've never seen kids run so fast! History was made this year though with the addition of the "Bobbing for Apples" game / scheme, whatever you want to call it! As kids came, we offered them 2 pieces of candy OR if they wanted to try and bob for an apple, we gave them two huge hand fulls. We found however (and I speak from experience) that you actually had to dump your whole head into the bucket to obtain the apple, because the bucket was so deep! It was hysterical to see some kids go for it! Other say "No Way" and then come back and try five or 10 minute's later. We had some great laughs, good treats, and what a trick! </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">The <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><b>FIRST</b> </span>"3" of this series came on November <b>3rd </b>and I just happen to be lucky enough to be there for the occasion! I flew into Denver the day after Halloween and just in time for beautiful Denver weather {seriously gorgeous and sunny!} and then of course that night a huge snow storm. So I went to keep Jess busy as she just hit 38 weeks and do what I could to get some contractions going and bring laboring waves her way! We walked every aisle of Target twice (morning and night) for two days. We did stairs and laps at the Rec Center {did I mention I thought I was going to go into labor, yikes I'm outta shape}. We ate cayenne peppered mangos <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(that was more for me that for her labor, I just luv them and Whole Foods...so we made a stop)</span>. We did it all. So when we woke up on day 3 and knew I would be going home that afternoon, we were bummed. She had had some awesome series of contractions but nothing that maintained over a few hours. So as we stumbled down to the kitchen and pathetically started pouring Cheerios for the kids, it was as if my sister was translated right before me...she said, "And what really bugs, is that I feel like I have been peeing my pants all morning..." My heart raced and I wiped the sleepers from my eyes, "Are you peeing or are you leaking fluid?!" She responded, "I don't know..." So I said the magically word..."COUGH!" Standing there in her cute white robe, she let out a cough and the water poured down!!! {Sorry tmi, but it rocked!} We started jumping up and down!!! Her water had broke! It was a special treat to be there for Jackson Thomas Northrop's arrival. Everything went smoothly and Jess did amazing. He is perfect and plump and precious. I luved to see Eric's face light up when they laid JT on Jessica's chest...he said, "Yeah, that is defiantly the cutest baby I have ever seen..." Of course he looks just like his dad! Lucky, lucky me! #2 of the series will arrive in December with my little sister Lindsey giving birth to a baby boy! And then my little #3 will be here in February...why does that sound so much sooner than later...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">We had our <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">Evening in Excellence</span></b> program for the Young Women at our church. It was a huge feat to put on but I really believe in the <a href="https://lds.org/young-women/personal-progress?lang=eng&X-Forwarded-Scheme=https">Young Women's program</a> and the purpose it has in these girls lives. In a world that is so stressful, challenging, negative, harsh...I wanted to create a night to truly celebrate all the GOOD these young women are doing. They do so much good. We highlighted not only their achievements in their Personal Progress but also the accomplishments in service, school, extracurricular, talents, family and individual interest. We had a sort of Emmy's show, although it was named the EMMA's {A Tribute to Emma Hale Smith}. Each girl received an award and in between awards we had talent performances, young women that: played the harp, sang, violin, Irish Dancing, Ballet, Piano, Contemporary Dance. It was a spectacular evening. I was so very proud of the two young women who received their Medallions as they completed all the requirements of the Personal Progress Program! One of the highlights for me was the Honorary Awards we gave out...we had the girls (over a month's period) nominate women in our church ward that had touched their life or their families life. We had a committee pick the top 5 and we invited the women to come that night, with special invitations and seating when they arrived. Each girl read about the nominee and then presented them with an Honorary Award for the positive impact they have on young women. Each woman was really touched. It was pretty special and a reminder to me that you never know who is watching you or what the small acts of kindness and service can do for those around you. </span><br />

We are having a super fun night to celebrate and we have an amazing guest speaker coming for the young women...can't wait to surprise you with who it is!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">- Jilly is now sporting "Katy Perry" bangs, courtesy of her sister Lucy. She walks into my bedroom, at 7:05 a.m nonetheless, with butchered bangs. I'm so groggy I don't even know how I manage to say, what happened to your hair and she matter of factly says to me, "Lucy cut my hair, no worry...it's OKAY!"</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">- Speaking of Lu...her latest obsession is Freddy Kruger. Not the scary killer guy but our neighbors kitty (that is what the neighbor named him!). Anyways, "Freddy" has become quite the regular around here because Lucy has basically adopted / God Mothered / Stolen the kitty from our neighbor. Which of course, sends Cam just about over the edge! And he is quite vocal about his disdain, when he sees her sneaking the kitty food, making a bed for it in the garage, and petting it for hours. To which Lucy has voiced, "Yeah mom, if I am ever dating some guy and he doesn't like cats, no way am I marrying him..." She. Is. Five. lol!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">- A few months ago I was looking for a way for Savannah's piano playing to be more effective ("series of 3!"). It seemed like every time we sat down to practice, she would end up in tears (for no reason!). Plus, I wasn't thrilled about her piano teacher. So, after some talk with Cameron, I decided that I would start teaching her. But how I approached it with her, was that she would be getting a new piano teacher the upcoming week. So Monday after school (back in August) she came home, and said I'm ready for piano. So I had her get her piano bag and told her to go outside through the garage and then come back to the front door and ring the door bell. She looked at me, kinda confused, but she did it. After she rang the doorbell, I opened the door and introduced myself as Mrs. Kesler, her new piano teacher. Long story short, it's been a funny, fabulous 3 and half months teaching my star student. It's amazing how this little scenario works for us both. There is no crying. There is no fighting. She truly treats me like her teacher and her as my student. She leaves after 45 minutes through the front door and then back in through the garage "I'm home!" This week she passed off all her books and is on to her next level. It's been a growing experience for me as a mother to look for ways to do things differently, as needed for my children...in this case, to be apart of her "make believe", all while truly believing and sticking to what I know is her potential. Vannah and her BFF are luving the hoop season! I luv to see her little cheeks get all flushed as she is running, focusing and working so hard! It's pretty cute! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have been wanting to can all fall...I canned applesauce with my mother-in-law (Marva Lu!) last fall but she practically held my hand the whole time! So the garden was overflowing with tomatoes and with fresh peach stands on every corner...I got out my canning book and instruments (is that what they are called?) that I got for Christmas and went to work! It was also conference weekend for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints...so I canned and listened...and decided, not evening knowing it, that I had started a new tradition...canning during General Conference Weekend! Results: 19 quarts of peaches! 24 pints of spaghetti sauce! 9 pints of diced tomatoes! and....one of my favorite quotes from conference, by Carl B. Cook:</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Lucy turned 5 at the end of September...every child's birthday takes you back and makes you wonder, where did TIME go? Lucy has such a special place in my heart. It's interesting how each one of my girls has touched me in a different way and while my love for them is universal, it's so individual. Lucy was the babe who hated the car seat and I remember cooking dinner with her in the Bjorn carrier. But she slept like a champ, she still requires me to slow down & listen, and still gives me the best hugs and kisses. Instantly lovable, never forgettable, you've never met someone like my Laquisha. xo lu-lu!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We hit the mountains again...it had been a rainy, gloomy morning but we thought let's go for it! The clouds parted and we had a super fun hike up Millcreek canyon with Cameron's cousins (Cath, Aunt Shellie, Jesica, and Becca! - why did we not get a group picture!!!). We had so much fun chatting, chasing kids, and taking pictures of this gorgeous present that is fall. The COLORS!</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">“Tell me right now who tooted in this car!” That wasn’t exactly the response I was looking for as I rolled down my window to absorb the breathtaking view that is La Jolla Shores. It is one of those places that makes my heart pound with memories of meaning. I especially enjoy going over to the Children’s Pool, which is a natural habit for sea lions. No need for Sea World, when you can actually swim with these animals in the ocean if you desire! So by you now you must have put two and two together: Tooting = smell of Sea Lions. Road trips will do that too you...make you stir crazy with all the driving but roar with laughter with words that come out of the mouth of babes! </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">As the girls got out of the car and took off running to stretch their legs, I took in my surroundings. I remembered the sunsets that mesmerized me when I lived here five years ago. I thought of evenings we’d brought over dinner, layed a blanket on the grassy ridge, watched the Savannah run & waves explode. I recalled that stressful first year of residency. I thought of the emptiness that sometimes filled my heart because it was hard being by myself as much as I was with the girls. La Jolla Shores became my Walden Pond of San Diego. I took every visitor that came to see us there. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">So much has transpired over the past five years. I probably couldn’t have imagined it. Stresses change. Life moves ever so quickly before me. I looked ahead the stone walkway and followed slowly behind the girls, barely 18 weeks pregnant and I’m already having a hard time keeping up with them. They ran like kids that had been cooped up in the car for two days, crazy! The waves were overflowing the rock wall as they ran out as far as they could to see the sea lions. The oceans sprinkle made them shout with laughter and they ran faster. An older couple walked towards me. I could tell the woman was going to say something as she approached. I saw it in her eyes. I was expecting the usual, “<i>You’ve got your hands full!</i>” or the ever encouraging, “<i>Enjoy them while they’re </i><u><i>YOUNG</i></u>!” Five steps. Four Steps. Then a wise, sweet English accented voice shared with a smile, <b>“Make the most of it.” </b>From one mother to another, she didn’t need to explain. Her stride never wavered and before I knew it she was two steps behind me. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">“Making the most of it” has been on my mind a great deal over the past two weeks. Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s not, but I don’t find myself always making the most of it. Especially while pregnant. I’m uncomfortable. Slightly irritable. Exhausted (and it’s only 9a.m.). And trying to wrap my mind around my ever growing body. Oh yes! Heavens yes, I’m so excited for a little boy to be apart of our family, but life challenges us. It pushes us in directions that aren’t always easy to “make the most of”. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I’ve realized that making the most of it doesn’t necessarily mean: MORE...because when I think of <b>MOST</b>, I automatically think of <u>MORE</u>. Faster. Bigger. Better. Yet, I’m trying to do just the opposite. Our trip consisted of most all daylight hours spent on the beach. Early morning walks to collect seashells. Time with a true friend and meaningful conversation. New adventures and new loves <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">(Savannah: boogie boarding. Lucy: swimming in the ocean. Jilly: learning how to climb out of her pack and play)</span>. Alot of sandy mess. Even more, time to just be us, a family. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">TOP 20 reasons I love being a Labor & Delivery Nurse:</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Miracles.</span></span> I get to be apart of one almost every shift I
work. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Scrubs</span></b>. Yay they aren’t attractive but they are comfy!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. Being apart of the Labor & Delivery terminology
world: inner os, outer os, <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">fluffy,</span></b> rocky road, ballotable, eMAR (ugh), QS,
<i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">dial-a-flow</span></b></i>, clonus, medication cocktails, time-out, FFN, amnisure, mec...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. Hearing families reiterate what I’ve explained to the the
patient: I finish, then they pick up the cell phone to call and update the rest
of the family… “They’ve got her on <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>plutonium</b></span> and they say it’s only a matter of
time until she will be in pain.” Yes…that’s exactly what I said. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. Smiling with the patient when she realizes that her water
really didn’t break, she </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
just peed her pants (<b><u>been there honey!</u></b>).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6. Seeing women’s eyes light up when you tell them they can
have ice chips </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
with FLAVORS! <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Cherry or Grape</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
7. Co –workers. Oh the luv I have for them. The characters.
The stories. The friendships. Lessons you learn not only about being a nurse
but also about life. <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The bonds that tie and you never, ever forget</span></span></i>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
8. Being part of one of the most intimate times in people’s
lives…the <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">joy </span></b>that wells up in their eyes as we all take in the sound of that
first cry. The beginning of endless possibilities. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
9. The flexibility that nursing brings…full-time, part-time,
PRN status, day shift, night shift, 12 hours, 8 hours. This flexibility has
<u><b>helped me</b></u> support my family and allowed me to keep up my nursing skills over
the years. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
10.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
stories! Where people come from, where they are planning on going after the
arrival of the little one. Hopes, <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">dreams,</span></b> life changes. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
11. <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">FAMILY! </span></b>Oh the craziness of it all! Isn’t that the way
it really should be! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>- The pushy grandma’s and the corner paper-reading
grandpa’s. Or the nervous Nelly nanny’s <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>and
the papa’s who are managing the room like it’s a special op’s mission! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>-
The chatty aunties. The overly loving, all knowing, and sometimes even a bit
jealous friends! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>-
The daddy’s: Pale & Unsure. Google degree’d and all over it! Reserved &
Patient. Concerned <span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>and
Affectionate. Awe struck and proud. Lazy and lame <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(seriously, quit watching
football, your wife
is delivering your child!)</span>. Over-questioning and under listening <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(I luv these ones)</span>. Polite and
understanding. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>-
The gifts! The cameras! Oh the cell phone phenomena…yay its totally affected
everyday society but
you should see how it affects a labor & delivery room! Skype! Facebook
updates before we’ve seen
the whites of the baby’s eyes! The TEXTING!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
12. Randomly running into patients I’ve taken care of…for
example, two years ago a woman came up to my door for trick or treating with
her daughter..”Oh my goodness! You were my nurse when I was in the hospital a
couple of weeks ago…remember I was in for food poisoning…I was barfing and had
diarrhea…” Long pause. {Me} “Yes, of course I remember, so glad you are feeling
better!” Woman, <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">turns bright red</span></b>, realizing she just said barfing and diarrhea
outloud and grabs her cute daughter's hand and quickly shuffles her prego body
away. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
13. Keeping in touch with women who I’ve helped deliver
their babies. Seeing those cute babies grow and become big brothers and
sisters. It’s special and I love that some women remember me as much as<b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> I
remember them.</span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
14. True nursing…the compassion that is so desperately
needed when life’s journey ends before it can even begin. Holding that woman’s
hand and crying with her. <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For I am a woman</span></b>, and my heart aches for her loss.
The evident reminder that life truly is a blessing and a gift. A priceless one.
One that we have no control over. That simple reminder…you never know what
someone might be going through, so love them regardless. That profound
phrase…cherish everyday.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
15. Crazy busy days that fly bye while working a 12-hour
shift. The sometimes needed <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>v</b></span><b>enting </b>with co-workers about not being paid enough
and “if I have to eat my lunch in the bathroom again today, I’m gonna freak
out.” Love your nurse. She / he is a person too and usually trying the very
best they can, while not being paid enough, barely getting a potty break,
usually NOT getting a lunch break, and sometimes bossed around by those lovable
MDs. Don’t kill the messenger! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
16. The soft skin. Sweet lips. 10: fingers & toes.
Hair…sometimes on their head, sometimes on their back, I don’t care…it’s so
cute! That little tongue that vibrates when they let out those first
cry’s…”WHHAATTT just happened to me!!!” Blinking eyes…such a beautiful
beginning to a world that will truly open so much beauty, if they look for it. Pudgy
little noses. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That new baby smell.
Sweet, innocent breaths…that little chest rising…falling. Tiny bums. <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So</span></b>
perfect. I’m telling you, it’s hard not to grab one and run!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
17. Critical thinking. I love the way my mind has to work
when I am at work. <b>It begins the moment I reverse out of my drive-way and my
focus shifts so quickly. </b>When I clock-in, I really am there to work. To provide
a service, no matter the patient’s circumstance, that will be memorable and
individualized for her. Sometimes it’s not easy. It can be down right
exhausting. My mind pulses and I know what it will require to monitor her and
the baby to help provide a systematic approach for the delivery of the little
life inside of her. Sometimes deliveries are so smooth, truly almost
effortless. Others require intense observation due to a mother’s health
condition or an unborn infant’s health condition. Each birth is different.
Unique. A story…that will be re-told for generations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
18. Being apart of a team. I’ve been involved with sports
almost my entire life. I grew-up with 4 sisters. Being apart of a team is in my
blood. Working on a labor and delivery floor is really like being on a <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>team. It’s a tough try-out, let me tell
you. Have you heard of baptism by fire? Although as I look back on the past 8 ½
years, I’ve never felt alone when I’ve been working. I’ve always had someone to
bounce an idea off. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve always
felt understood because usually one of my teammates has been exactly where I
was at one point or another (One nurse: “She’s 10 cm! Call the doctor” Another
nurse: “Really? Wasn’t she just 2cm, and it’s her first baby…let me go re-check
for you…”). It’s humbling. I’m not afraid to admit I don’t know everything…in
fact, it’s something I tell each of my patients. “If I don’t know the answer, I
will find someone who does!” We work <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">together</span></b>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
19. Teaching women what the word <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>labor </b></span>means…{Me} "Yes…it
actually might take a little bit of work, effort. Yes, it’s going to be
exhausting. It most certainly will be painful at one point or another. But
after great labor, comes great reward.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
20. Having the extreme privlege and blessing to be apart of
the <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">special people</span></b> in my life’s day! Thank you so much family and friends for
inviting me to be apart of your “birth” days…I can’t think of anything more I
would have rather been doing on these days, than being with you. Most recently,
my college BFF, Lindsay Clegg Sundloff...who a little over a week ago welcomed
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">McIntyre Sundloff </span></b>into the world!</div>

My first day at pre-school. I miss the kindergarten cut-off by just a few days (what is that...you can hear my mother crying in the back round!).

I'm currently being potty-trained because my mother blacked out a couple weeks ago because my poops were so disgusting! (sorry!). I am rocking the potty world and currently luv gum and suckers for rewards! My panties are pretty! I luv my sister Lucy, I yell for her all the time!!! I luv to play My Little Pony's and I am very good at causing big scenes at church (not limited to...throwing my sippy cup across many isles, yelling poop during prayers, smacking my mom in the face and last week knocking the bread tray completely onto the floor!). I am a princess...my world is about to be turned upside down...why you ask...</div>

"I just want you to know that I love you. And I am so glad you are in our ward." Tears rolled down my face. I could not express at that moment what that act of kindness meant to me. This woman, busy with her children and her own demanding job, could have easily felt justified in labeling me "unfriendly" or "stuck-up". She could have said, "Who does she think she is?" or "Too good to talk to the rest of us?" But she did not. She did not gossip. She did not judge. What she did was show me that someone cared, someone thought of me as her sister in the gospel. What a difference a small act of charity can make in another woman's life! Charity has the power to pull us together, to make the labels we place on ourselves - and that others stick there for us - obsolete. And without labels, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">we are known only as daughters of God.

It feels downright stimulating to lay off the rich foods, clear the sugar from our veins, work up a sweat on the old stationary bicycle – and feel so righteous about it. January is also that wonderful time when I’ve worn out my desire to go to the mall ever again. Every day that I don’t charge a penny on my credit card, I feel like I’m bringing a healthy balance back to my life & checkbook. (SO much joy for doing so little!). It’s that dark, cold time of the year (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), when we may feel some cabin fever, but sleep comes so naturally. It’s great to go to bed a littler earlier, turn on the electric blanket, and curl up like a big old bear (we’ve even stored up the extra fat to sustain us through the hibernation). I just hope, as we throw out the dried-up Christmas tree and store away all our decorations, that we don’t put away Christmas entirely—that is the best part of Christmas.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;text-indent: 0.5in; "><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;text-indent: 0.5in; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">We seem to care more for others during the holidays and make special effort to express those feelings with our cards, our greetings, our donations to those who are not as blessed as we are. And then, for some reason, we act almost as though those expressions were part of our over-indulgence, and we seem to withdraw to a spirit that isn’t nearly as generous. It almost seems as though we’re a little embarrassed now, in the cold of winter, for all that warmth we shared. Do we think it got a little too cheesy, a little too over the top? What is we took a treat – a healthy one – to all our neighbors now or in April or September? Would people think we had gotten all weird on them or something? <b>How did we get started with the idea that we should be what we really ought to be in December and then pull back and wait again for eleven months?</b><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;text-indent: 0.5in; "><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;text-indent: 0.5in; "><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I remember a United Way director who said that Americans love to buy turkey for a single mom with kids at Thanksgiving or Christmas, even though she would be helped much more by a case of peanut butter in August – and that’s when no one thinks about her. Interesting. “Oh Little Town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie. Above thy deep and dreamless sleep, the silent…” It sounded good, didn’t it? When I was a bishop, I once had our chorister do all Christmas songs during a sacrament meeting in July. I told our members that we always say that we want to keep the spirit of Christmas with us all year, but we won’t work very hard to do it. The songs were just a little reminder. Maybe we should sing them all year. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;text-indent: 0.5in; "><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> </span></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;text-indent: 0.5in; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">To celebrate Christ’s birthday, we eat too much and spend too much, and we feel guilty about it. It feels good to return to some austerity. We vow not to get so carried away next year. Suppose we actually did that? Suppose we cut back on some of the eating & spending next year but began right now to spread out the spiritual side of Christmas to every month of our year? It may sound a little too idealistic, but don’t we actually know people who do just that? The fact is, there are those around us who need us every month of the year, and we need them. We also need Christ – his Spirit – with us, always. I think this should be the year we make some changes. Let’s do this year right, and then make next Christmas the fitting conclusion to a year full of kindness & generosity. I’m serious. We can do it. </span><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:13.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <!--EndFragment--> </div></div></div>KESLER KREW...Camihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12309398122733504564noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2284862089577599610.post-90581357333157487192010-12-12T08:58:00.000-08:002010-12-12T13:30:02.133-08:00TROLL tHe ancient YULE tide cARol....<div style="text-align: center;"><img style="cursor:pointer;
