Clark's First Bath
As you can see Clark did not like his 1st Bath, but was happy when it was all over.

Clark is eating and sleeping well. Last night he slept 6 hours straight, which makes for one happy momma!

Hospital Visitors

All the kids were fighting over who gets to hold Baby Clark First, so they had to pick a number from 1-10 to decide. Max got to go first, then Walt (as you can see, Walt was not happy he wasn't 1st), Hanna, Van and Daisy. He is so lucky to have so many siblings to love on him.



Dee Dee had all the kids with her and brought them to the hospital to visit Clark.
No pic. of Grandma Susan, but she was there for his delivery and the next day as well.
Jeff, Cindy, Andrew and Olivia came to visit Clark too.

First Few Days Home
I gave Clark his 1st sponge bath at home, which is usually given by Grandma Susan, but she was working late.

Clark's Birth Story

I am not one to induce; I hate messing with nature and I love to know that my child came on their "Birthday". Well, this pregnancy I worried a lot more than ever before. Maybe because I miscarried last year or maybe because we had problems with Walt and I during his birth? I'm not sure, but I was starting to really worry that I was going to have a still birth and every night (close to his due date) I would wake up in a little bit of a panic and make sure he was moving I would drink juice and wiggle him around until I felt a few big kicks and then go back to sleep. So, on Monday morning the 27th I asked Danny for a blessing, and in the blessing he said to listen to your Doctor and go from there. Well, the next morning I had a Dr. appointment and I told the Dr. my concerns (even though I knew he was fine), the Dr. checked me and said I was already a 4, he stripped my membranes and said lets just do this today! I was a little shocked, I thought he would have to schedule a day or so, but I felt that was my answer. This was Tuesday and Clark was due Friday, March 2nd. I taught my Preschool class, picked up the kids from school and headed to the hospital in Vegas. By now my contractions were consistent and strong, because he stripped my membranes I'm sure. I got hooked up to pitocin around 5:15ish, water broke an hour later and started my epidural around 7:30. Yes, even though I've done 2 home births, when I'm in the hospital I want "the works." Unfortunately, my epidural was only working on the right which worked too much that I couldn't even move my right leg on my own until the next morning. But my nurses and the nurse anesthetist were awesome! I was feeling a lot of pressure around 9:00, they said I was at a 10 but weren't getting me ready to push because the Dr. wasn't there yet. I started throwing up, (I only get sick in the hospital because of the epidural) and the nurse looked down and said "get a doctor" Danny looked down and Clark's head was already out. The nurse finished delivering Clark, who pretty much just fell out. Clark Edmond Jensen was born at 9:20pm on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 weighing 9lbs. 8 oz. and measured 20.5in. long. We feel so blessed to have another healthy baby boy in our family!

Hanna's 7th Birthday

Hanna is 7 years old!

I brought brownies to her class on her birthday and we had her favorite dinner (chicken tortilla soup) and more brownies for our desert (yes, brownies are Hanna's favorite).

Then for her birthday party on Saturday we had a Cooking Party. We decorated place mats and aprons, then we made pizzas, fruit shish kabobs, and decorated cupcakes. It was a lot of work especially with a newborn baby in the house, but I'm glad Hanna had a fun day! Danny couldn't stay and help because he had to take our 3 boys away (it was an all girls party, besides baby Clark).

School Spirit Week

Last week Max and Hanna had Spirit week. Monday = Twin Day, Tuesday = Crazy Hair day, Wednesday = Hat Day, Thursday = Pajama Day and Friday was School Spirit Day. Hanna participated every day and Max did every day, but twin day.
