It has been so long! The last 9 months have been the fastest months of my life! In the last 9 or more months our little family has been blessed more then I deserve. I will try to catch up the best that I can.
In March Kreg got the best call! He was given a Helicopter job with Classic Lifeguard working out of VERNAL UT! I didn't think that we would ever be back in UT let alone be able to move back to our home town where we both grew up and both have our family's. We were so happy and excited! but.... they needed him to be there within days and I was almost full term with baby number two, so we had to leave in two days after finding out. I was so happy to be moving back around our family's but... It was so hard to have to say good bye to our little branch (TX family) and to one of the best friends I have ever had.
On May 4 we had our beautiful baby girl Kailey Dawn Jessen. (I got in trouble for not telling this story so here it is and sorry it took so long) Tessa and I went to Vernal (which is a hour away from home) to have lunch with Kreg but he got a call so he had to leave. Tessa and I stayed the rest of the day shopping and waiting to see if he would get back. It was getting late and he didn't show up and I was filling really tiered and sore so we went home. I was sitting on the floor getting Tessa ready for her bath and talking to Kregs mom (she let us live with her for a while) when I got up I felt like I wet myself just alittle! lol I was embarrassed but kept walking but more kept coming so I asked Kregs mom what she thought and It was soon very obvious that my water broke!! I am the type that likes to stay home as LONG as I can so we gave Tessa her bath and I packed my bags and called Kreg to tell him he needed to come home. I got him on the phone and found out that he was flying and that the helicopter broke down in SLC and that is why he never came back! (So we were very blessed that they got it fixed because he wouldn't have made it) I told him to just stay in vernal and I would call him when I started for the hospital. My mom came over and started timing my contractions and was begging me to let her take me to the hospital. but I thought I still had hours to go ( with Tessa it took me 8 hours). I was SO wrong within a half hour after my water broke I was having hard contractions! when it got to the point where I couldn't walk any more I let them take me in. My poor mom and Kregs mom didn't think that I would make it to the hospital so they put towels on the seats of the car lol! I got to the hospital and kreg was there waiting. I don't get epidurals so I got on the birthing ball and waited it out. Then everything seemed to stop so I had Kreg help me to the bathroom ( you think that I would know that when that happens its time to have the baby but I was in total denial that it was happening so fast) In the bathroom it was like deja vu i sit to go to the bathroom and then I start pushing and I cant stop!! But with Tessa I just walked to the bed and sat down and had her. This time I couldn't even stand because Kailey was coming fast! my mom went and got the nurse and then she and Kreg had to carry me to the bed because Kailey's little head was poking out! (The nurse laughed and told me that she had lots of dark hair!) Two pushes and I was holding my big but very beautiful baby girl! ( Next baby I will try really hard to not almost have in the bathroom). From start to Finnish It took me four hours. I made it to the hospital with only a little under a hour to go.
In June we bought our first and I hope our last house! It is a five bed and three bath with 4 acres of land. I love it and fill so blessed to have it! It is within five Min's of both my parents and Kregs moms house. Our closest neighbor is a half mile away! it is perfect for us.
I am so thankful for all the blessing that we have received and pray that I can do my best to be worthy of them.
