Disseminating the Information

Profile Picture of Midwifery TodayRecently I've had the awesome privilege of contacting 100's of midwifery, doula, premie, and children's hospitals/centers, etc. across the globe.  The Internet makes that possible.  This is some of the wonderful feedback I've received:

Shall I post this on Facebook? Do you have a facebook page? 
Great Work, Jacquelyn! 

Thank you for contacting Seattle Children's. Thank you for sharing the results of your research study with us. I have forwarded your email with information on your research study to the appropriate staff members here at Seattle Children's.

Thank you for your email. I have forwarded it on to our neonatology team for their review.

Thank you for your interest in CHOC Children’s. I’ve forwarded your request to the appropriate person and, if interested, they will be contacting you. Thank you for visiting the CHOC web site.  

Jackie,
    I recently was introduced to the fact that you have done research and have made lullaby CDs for families of premature infants. I work at West Virginia University Hospitals, Inc. in Morgantown, WV as a NICU Nurse Clinician. Two years ago we started an area that just houses infants less than 27 weeks gestation where we monitor light, noise, etc. We have a 45 bed unit and the rest is a wide variety of infants’ diagnoses and gestational ages. I am interested in hearing more about your research and how to obtain a copy of the CD of lullabies. We also do a program that is called “Sounds of Love” where families are given the opportunity to record themselves talking to, reading a favorite story, singing favorite songs and also playing a combination of lullabies intermixed within the length of CD. Families have loved it! Looking forward to hearing from you.

I received your email and will forward on to the Chief Nursing Officers and Chief Executive Officers of our Broward Health Medical Center / Chris Evert Children’s Hospital and Broward Health Coral Springs facilities.  Thank you very much for sharing the outcomes and benefits of your research and your interest in improving the lives and wellbeing of premature infants. 

Would you be interested in donating a CD to our next NICU Baby Shower to be held on March 10.  It will be held at Inova Fairfax Hospital, an almost 100 bed unit.  Maybe you would also like to donate a CD to the unit as well?

Thank you for your Facebook post.  Your research sounds amazing.  We will help pass the word.

etc.


Why didn't I think of doing this sooner?!!
(My prayer is that I may bless the lives of as many people as possible thru this research).

Sweet Valentine's Surprises

Heart-shaped earrings inside a red rose!
Gotta love it when stu's think of you ahead of time.
What a sweet Valentine's week!

More heart shaped earrings & a strawberry necklace that actually smells!
Aren't my students neat?
Best V-day presents I've ever gotten at school.

My wild & crazy hair Sunday!
All curled up.
It was a really fun day today with the stu's.
They wanted to hear me
play the bass!
So I just enjoyed it
while they all played their fav songs.
The bass is easier than
the violin.
It has been such a blessing
having this job
so I could learn all four of the
stringed instruments.
I want to teach
my (future) children  how to play.
Give me a bow & I'm all set!!
For some reason
the piano was never my thing.
I mean, I could play it if I really practiced.
But, honestly . . .
I'd rather have a bow in my hands ~ or sing!
There are just sooo many
things I'd like to do in this life.
I guess that's what eternity's for . . .
so I can get good at EVERYTHING!!
Another thing I was really excited about yesterday
was qualifying for the $50 rebate for
my fat/muscle ratio.
(That's $150 total this year now for 
being in the healthy range).
They said I shrank
in my waist & hips a little over an inch or two
AND
my body, after thinking it was 34 last year, 
(33 this year)
NOW
thinks it's 32!
I keep getting younger!!

Where I Was Last Nite

A Baby Shower!
At the shower we made up poems
for the baby out of Valentine Confectioner
candy hearts.  So cute!



I even got to see the birth of this cute baby on video!

Really makes me want to make my body strong & eat this:
(Or stuff like it).

After braving the snowstorm thru the Canyon,
I then went to the Temple to do sealings!
The next day Eden Marie was blessed.
Her gorgeous Grandmother, Cara, was the one
who invited me to the shower.
I met her at the Provo Temple when I ran into
a good friend of mine, Melanie Dewey, there one evening.
We've been friends ever since!
Both Mother & daughter have lovely singing voices.
I got to hear them after the shower getting ready
to perform at Sacrament Meeting.
It was really fun to
run into other good friends
at the shower.
None of us knew we would all be there.
What a joy!
I opened the door
& there was Sherrice from the choir.
Then a lady, Katie, who knows a
good friend of mine, Fran.
Fun!!
