Cache Valley Specialty Hospital Newsletter

 They wrote an article about Jess! (too bad they spelled his name wrong!)
Meet Dr. Jewett

Dr. Jesse Jewett, Emergency Physician from the University of Utah, is originally from Orem, UT. He did his undergraduate work at Utah Sate University in Public Health Industrial Hygiene with a minor in chemistry. While at USU Jess met his wife, Stacie Hayes. Following his time at USU Jess spent a few years in Salt Lake working as a phlebotomist and developing a webpage for OSHA. He then began medical school at the American University of the Caribbean. He and Stacie were married during his first year of medical school. Jess then started his residency with an intern year in surgery at Saint Joseph's Hospital in Denver Colorado. He and Stacie then moved to Jackson, Mississippi so Jess could finish his residency in emergency medicine at the University of Mississippi.
The Jewett's have returned to Cache Valley and now live in Providence with their dog and they are expecting their first child. Jess loves the outdoors, he enjoys hiking, camping, wakeboarding, waterskiing, and most of all, snowboarding. He's recently picked up fly fishing and loves all the local rivers to choose from for fishing. He enjoys all sports, especially soccer and exercise.

Intro to Flight Helicopter Lesson

I found an awesome deal on groupon and got it for Jess for something fun for him to do after he took his medical boards.  He said it was one of the funnest things he has ever done! Mountain Ridge Helicopters' experienced pilots steer  flying newbies through the air over notable Logan landmarks. Aspiring aeronauts learn the rules of the aerial road in a 30-minute ground lesson that leads them through the operation of the controls, how to read the gages, and a preflight inspection that ensures the vehicle is safe to fly and contains absolutely no hitchhiking chickens. Once the inspection is complete, new flyers take their skills to the skies, where they’ll have the opportunity to take the controls, practicing basic maneuvers, such as climbs, turns, descents, and hovers, under the tutelage of an experienced pilot.

From the leather-seated cabin of a Robinson R44 Raven II, you can lark through the celestial ceiling, indulging in the aerial views of Logan’s surrounding peaks and valleys. Headsets hug passengers' ears and whisper secrets of the panorama, as relayed by the pilot. From wide windows, guests can snap snapshots of the peaks of the Wasatch Mountain Range, the beautiful fall foliage of the Bear River mountains and Logan Canyon, or the frenzied smoke signals of exam-stricken freshmen roaming the Utah State University campus. Mountain Ridge Helicopters captures each person's trip with a photograph taken with the aircraft, available a couple of days following the flight.

Bump

I thought I would document the growing bump each week.  The first pic we took at 4 weeks right after we found out that indeed I was pregnant!   

Now for the real deal. I wouldn't say it is necessarily a cute baby bump yet, it is merely a collection of the mass amounts of apples and cheese & egg and cheese bagels that I have been eating.  Luckily so far I have only been craving healthy foods,  and water water water!!   

8 weeks and 5 days- ultra sound 

9 weeks

Alas, the 10 week BUMP.

The Club

The Club in Mississippi opened a new location and before we moved they came in to take some photos for the new website.  I made the new webpage. :)

Maisy wasn't sure about meeting Ursula, because she was mean to Ariel!!  Once we told her that Ursula's real name in Heidi and is grandma's friend and she was just pretending it was ok.  But of course Ariel is real!!
