4 Months
After stalking other blogs for months I've decided to do as they're doing and chart new talents, adventures, etc. of Sage each month..(I'm going to try at least.) So I'm going to start off by copying what my friend Corrin did and show you pictures of each month leading up to month 4. Here we go..
June 2, 2010 - Sage's birthday!
6lbs. 2 oz.

A few hours old, this precious little face was all I could look at.

A few hours old, this precious little face was all I could look at.In the days leading up to Sage's first month she was perfect in every possible way. She woke up every 2 hours to be fed and fell back into a dreamlike state very fast. I rarely put her down because all I wanted to do was hold her, smell her, and look at the sweet face of the girl I call my daughter.
1 Month!
7lbs. 8 oz.
21 in.
Aunt Lacey took this picture at the family reunion at the end of June..so it's not quite 1 month but so cute it can be close enough. Sleeping like the spoiled rotten queen that she is.
Hanging out at grandma Heidi's. Sage LOVES Heidi and Heidi LOVES Sage (but who doesn't?).
Chubbin it up at grandma Connie's. I love how chubby her cheeks look here! Like they say, the camera puts 10 pounds on you..this is true for Sage.
First thoughts of Sage:
1. She's not an ugly baby!
2. Where'd that big nose come from?
3. I absolutely 100% love this little girl!

Possibly one of my favorite pictures of Sage so far for a few reasons. (1) Her big grin. (2) Her hands intertwined. (3) How un-matched her outfit is and yet she still looks adorable!

Sage Bebe...
I have to start off this post by explaining the title of today's post. When I was pregnant my two year old nephew always pointed to my belly and said, "bebe?" So when Sage was born and we told him Sage's name he said, "Sage Bebe?" So the nickname has stuck and she is our little Sage Bebe, and oh how we love her!
Sage is now grinning at everything! Her favorite activities are bath time, story time, and watching her mobile in her crib. During these activities it is a guarantee that she will be grinning and cooing the whole time..in fact she usually throws a tizzy fit when I take her away from them :)
I'd like to upload some more pictures but blogger won't let me right now...SO...more pictures to come!!

Our Little Miss Has Arrived!
Sage Elizabeth Jackson
Born: June 2, 2010
Time: 2:10 PM
Born: June 2, 2010
Time: 2:10 PM
I realize that it has been almost 3 weeks since our little Sage graced this world and I am just now posting to our blog. Sorry to everyone for taking so long!
Here's the story..
I woke up on Wednesday morning to my water breaking at 5:30. We got to the hospital and all admitted by 6 and I was out walking by 7. Around 7:30 I was given an IV and started on Pitocen to get my contractions going (I wasn't feeling any). After upping my pitocen 3 times and 3 hours later I was feeling contractions enough to ask for an epidural. Unfortunately my first epidural didn't work and around noon I found myself on the bed with terrible contractions getting a second epidural. This one worked so my nurse decided to see how dilated I was..I was already at a 10! So needless to say, I had to sit and wait for an hour for the epidural to wear off before I could start pushing. Finally Marie, my nurse, told me it was time to start pushing. I pushed about 5 times with her before Dr. Horsley arrived and then I pushed 3 times with him and out she came with dark curly hair and the cutest squeal that I'd ever heard :)
Quinn was the most amazing supportive husband that I could have ever asked for. He was at my side lifting my legs when they needed moved, propping up my head with pillows, and offering me the throw-up tray when I thought I needed it. He let me almost break his finger while squeezing it during a contraction and never said a word. I'm such a lucky woman to have such a great guy to call my husband. He didn't even get white and pass out. He was there at the worst of my pregnancy holding it all together for me. I love him more than he knows and more than I could ever hope to tell him.
Since that wonderful day 3 weeks ago, I find myself without sleep and taking care of the most beautiful little girl every morning at 4 am. I now wear spit-up on my clothes and do laundry every day and I LOVE IT! Being a mom to my little miss is the most wonderful calling the Lord has given me. I am so happy that he trusts me to raise one of his greatest blessings!

And the countdown begins..
I really do need to get better at this blogging stuff..not that many people even read my blog..but I guess it's a nice way to document the daily adventures we experience.
As of yesterday, I am dilated to a 2 and 70% effaced..only 8 more centimeters until our little Sage is here! I don't know how all of you mothers do it; I am so exhausted, frustrated, and anxious to have her here and not be pregnant anymore! I'm so thankful that my Heavenly Father knows me and understands my pain and frustration..otherwise I don't think Miss Sage would be coming almost 2 weeks early. (If she decides to still wait another 2 weeks after my membranes are stripped I'm going to be a very grumpy mother with a very stubborn child!)
I have recently gotten that mother bird feeling that my friend Katie talked about where I feel like I have to have the ENTIRE house clean before she gets here..unfortunately it's a slow process that I have no motivation to do. I finally got her room all put together today with just a few more decorations to put up. Now all that's left to clean is the rest of the house..hopefully we get a daddy bird to feel the same urge to clean so that I don't have to do it all by myself ;)
Teaching is getting harder now that there are only 5 1/2 days left and my kids are as wild as ever. I find myself on a daily basis, 9 months pregnant, chasing one of my two runners down the halls or outside on the playground. You'd think that all of this running and movement would have put me into labor already. Hopefully these last few days go by fast for all of us so that our summer vacation can get here already :) Summer wishes to you all!

Thanksgiving, Birthdays, Parties, and Christmas!
So I got looking and the last post was November 16..oops. So I guess I need to bring things up to speed. A lot obviously has happened since November 16, first off Thanksgiving! Mmm Yummy turkey, potatoes, dressin
g, salads, pies..we had it all of course, like every family! Quinn and I just ate a quick meal at my grandma's with my family and then we sat around and lounged and talked for as long as we possibly could, and then we rushed down to Layton where Quinn's family was meeting..once again there was turkey, ham, potatoes, salads, pies..more food..more fat..more full :) But regardless of feeling more stuffed than the turkey's we had a great day. We got to play dodge ball with Quinn's WHOLE huge family, and then later we played air hockey, ping-pong, and some even played basketball. The party started at 3 and we left at 7..and what a great 4 hours of fun we had! The night ended with a movie at my parent's and then we spent the rest of the weekend with Ed an
d Alpha putting together puzzles, eating more yummy food, and going to movies!
December 19..my birthday! Woot! The day started off great with hugs and kisses from the one I love most..of course that would be Quinn :) Then I was left home alone..ALL DAY..to be bored. We got an unexpected bill of almost $200 that made me cry and I kept crying because I cherish my birthday and was all alone..needless to say that now I feel like an immature idiot because I had no reason to feel bad :) When Quinn came home I opened a few presents from Quinn..2 games, Killer Bunnies and the Quest for the Magic Carrot..everyone has to play this game! and an electronic Deal or No Deal game because I love the show. Then I got the movie Charly and a gift card for Deseret Book. Later that night we went out to eat at Chili's and then we went and saw 7 Pounds! It was a great day...after Quinn came home :)
Next comes Christmas parties! Overall Quinn and I faired pretty well from both of the parties we went to. We got lots of money's or "tickets" as my little 4 year old cousin calls them, and a cookbook..mostly for my use! The day we had to drive home from Quinn's parents house to make it to my family Christmas party the weather was AWFUL! We went through Pocatello because I-84 was closed! and it was a white out the entire way into Pocatello! What should have taken 1 hour took us 3 hours to make! I cried and cried and told Quinn that I knew we were going to die..but thankfully and with help from up above we made it safely to Pocatello and then safely home!
Christmas was a blast despite the fact that we were snowed in at my parents all day Christmas day and had to drive an extra hour through Pocatello to get to Quinn's parents safely the day after Christmas. We got SO much snow at my parents and at Quinn's! But we had fun opening presents of course and being with family that all of the traveling was worth it. We ended up getting some new clothes, food storage, some games, pillows, a new tent! wahoo!, a dutch oven, and so much more! What fun we had!!
