Part of Christmas Part of Reillys send off and BABY!!!

I know i have a lot to catch up on so i will have to do a couple posts, but i will start with the pictures i have downloaded right now!

Ok i know this is a little out of order but i have some great news!!!! Since i work at the hospital i have friends that do ultrasounds and so we were able to find out what we are having!!!!!! Well CHance and I are going to be having a little baby BOY!!!!! WAHOO!!!! We are super excited!!! Little Blake Morgen Wride is on his way! It was super cute during the ultrasound he kept waving hi to us! IT was the cutest thing ever! And i got to see his cute little bum!!!! If he stretched his legs out he would be about 8 inches long now! What a cute little boy! I cant wait to meet him! Here is a picture of me and Blake right now! I am 4 months!!!
Here we are! I have gained 4 pounds, my blood pressure is really good and Blakes heart beat is steady and content at 158! We are doing really good! I am so glad i am over my first trimester! I feel so much better i am never sick, i can eat mainly anything i want, and i am starting to get my energy back! It is getting a little tougher for me to breathe and my back is starting to hurt but i will take that over sickness any day!!! Chance loves to rub my belly! He was so cute the other night, he looks at me and goes i think we should sing I am a Child of God for the baby! It was super cute! He loves to call himself daddy and me mommy he gets the biggest smile on his face! He also loves to ask how his SON is doing! He is going to be such a good Daddy!

I was so excited because my entire family came down to drop my brother off at the MTC!!!! It was such a fun week! I love when my family comes to visit! We decided to do Christmas with my family right before Reilly went to the MTC. Lindsay and I were at our in laws house for Christmas this year so it worked out just perfect! Chance and I cooked a yummy breakfast in the morning and then we all gathered around the tree and opened lots of presents! It was so much fun! I loved the feeling of being around the family! We all got amazing gifts and i started to cry a little when Reilly was opening his gifts! No reason really i am just pregnant and emotional! Then after that we all went and did a session at the temple! It was great to be with my dad and mom and Lindsay and Chance and finally my brother! I was able to make it through the whole session without having to go to the bathroom! WAHOO! Then we came home and had a huge feast! Lots of yummy food and bubbly! It was such a good day! Here are some pictures of present time!
I dont know about Chances face here but our great friend Jenny Clark who is like our second mom made us these awesome stockings!!!! They are huge and fun! Thanks Jenny
Brooklyn opening her present from me and Chance! We got her a super cool doctor kit! She loved it and wanted to play doctor and open it right away!This is my little buddy Weston playing with the blocks we got him! They are microfoam and he loves to eat them!
Look at little buddy! Jenny got him that green stuffed animal and he went crazy over it it was so adorable!Toasting to a wonderful family over a yummy feast!

Next was our missionary drop off! That was such a bitter sweet experience. I was crying that whole morning! Reilly was so ready to go! He has been preparing for so long and couldnt wait to go! So when the time finally came we got to the MTC and took a lot of pictures and then said good bye! He was such a brave boy! I was crying so hard because i am so proud of him! He has made such an awesome decision and really put all of his trust in the Lord. That time was pretty hard and actually one of the only times i have seen my dad cry. No one else saw it becasue he had his sunglasses on, but when Reilly gave him a hug i saw his face and it was awesome! I dont think my dad could have been more proud! After we dropped him off Jenny took us all to Tucanos! Yummy yummy!!! Jenny took all the pictures with her camera so once i get those i will update but here are two i got with mine!Right before we got out of the car! He was so happy i was just about to start crying again so i thought i would get a good one in before my puffy eyes started!
Look at that handsome servant of the Lord! We miss him like crazy! He is having so much fun though and loves doing the work! I love getting to hear from him every week!

I am really bad at remembering to take pictures so my Christmas with my cute husband was not caught on camera but it was such a good Christmas! We woke up early and opened presents! I wanted to sleep longer but chance was too excited! I was spoiled!

Chance got me this cute Pea coat!!!! I have always wanted a red pea coat but i never told him that! But this is the one he chose! He also got me that super cute scarf and beanie! He got me another cute jacket sweater and a new straightener! Plus lots of great stocking stuffers!

I got him a new radar detector, a couple of nice sweaters and a scarf and some new church socks. Plus fun stocking stuffers! Then we spent the whole rest of the day with his family it was super fun we went to his parents house for breakfast and got to talk to Shea who is Chances brother that is on a mission, then we went and saw Sherlock Holmes and then off the Grandma Beckys for dinner! It was a great day! The night after, we went to chances other grandparents house for that Christmas party! IT was fun!

Elder Heims

Thats right!!!! My brother Reilly is officially Elder Heims as of last night! I cant believe the time has actually come! I was so sad that i could not be at his farewell or his setting apart but i got to be on the phone to hear his blessing and it was amazing! I am so proud of my little brother! He has become such an amazing son of God and has gained such a strong testimony! What an amazing journey he is about to take and i know he really is going to be an awesome missionary! He has such an amazing heart and i know he will reach people others will not be able to! I love him more than anything and i am going to miss him like crazy! I hope the time flys by!

OUR FIRST HOLIDAY SEASON AS A MARRIED COUPLE!

Not only our first holiday season as a married couple but also our first holiday season with a baby on the way! WAHOO!!! It has been so amazing! Thanksgiving was so much fun! We went to Reno for 9 days!!!! My sister Lindsay was there with the kids so we finally got got see the little buddy Weston and play with him and we finally got to see my little Brooklyn and how grown up she is! What wonderful little kids! We also got to experience My brother Reilly going through the temple for the first time! What an amazing experience and i am so proud of him! He leaves in 9 days for his mission! I cannot believe the time has come! We got to spend some quality time with my mom and dad which is always a treat as well!!!

Now on to Christmas! This is my favorite time of year! I love all the lights, the rush of everyone shopping, the music , the decorations, and the family time! The best part about this Christmas is that i get to spend it with my amazing husband!!! This is our first Christmas married! We got to go out and get our Christmas tree and decorate it! It was so fun! It was crazy to experience that with my husband instead of my whole family! But this is even better!

Chances dad Larry told us we could come to his house and cut down our Christmas tree! He has a ton in his backyard and saved the best ones for us to choose from! so we got to go on his Ranger and and drive around and look for the perfect one! We found a couple of pretty cute ones but then i found the cutest one and just had to have it! So Chance and his dad got a saw and cut it down! Yea i pretty much just sat on the side lines and watched!!! When we finally got it back to our place, we couldnt wait till the night time to decorate so we started immediately!

The day before we went to michaels and had to invest in some Christmas decorations! Since this is our first Christmas we had nothing!!!! Michaels was having a huge 50% off sale so we got a tree skirt, lights, stockings, and just those ball ornaments!

So we turned on some Christmas music and started to decorate! Here are the results of the day!

Here is my cute husband after we cut down our tree! Please do not ask about the ugly jacket!
That is the tree we picked out! I think it is cute and has a lot of character! Once again please do not ask about the ugly jacket!
Me and my lover! i dont really know what he is looking at, there was no one else there!Chance and his dad! We had fun!
Our first Christmas tree! We are pretty proud of it! We love to just sit here with only the Christmas lights on! Now this is not normally how i would decorate a tree but i think we did pretty good with the budget we had!Lights on!!!!

Handsome Firefighter!!!! And a little Prego update!!!!

First my prego update!!!!

Things were weird there for a while i was having a lot of dizzy spells and weakness i couldnt even stand in the shower!!! I was really worried so i got a blessing from my amazing husband and called my doctor and we figured out what it was and things have been fine ever since!! Right now i have actually been starting to feel really good! The only time i have been getting sick is when i go too long without eating! See i am having this really annoying thing happen where i will eat an entire meal and then 45 minutes to an hour later i am starving my stomach is growling and i am starting to get sick! Its like i cant get enough food in my stomach to make it so i am not hungry. So then what happens is i get really sick of eating and just stop! And i am still at that stage where a lot of things dont sound good so chance is having to make a lot of food runs all throughout the day and night! He is actually at the store right now! If anyone has gone through this please help me! I know the baby needs the food but i just cant eat enough! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

We finally got an ultrasound and got to hear the babies heart beat! There is a girl at my work that just graduated from ultrasound school and she told me i can come in whenever i want and she will do my ultrasounds for me! She says she needs the practice!!! It was so amazing adn to see the look on my cute husbands face and in his eyes was such a great feeling! He was so happy and excited he kept moving closer and closer to the screen! It was super cute! But anyway There is definitly a baby in there with a super fast heart beat! The girl doing it was even like WHOA that is a fast heart beat! I got to see my babies feet and face! It was so cute!

This pregnancy thing definitely has its good adn bad moments! We have our next appointment on Thursday with the doctor so i will finally figure out how far along i am!!! WAHOO!!!!!! It has been a long wait! Here are some pictures of the ultra sound!
I dont know if you can see very well but the bottom right is where you can see the face! And the others the feet are on the left and the head is to the right! THATS MY BABY!!!!!

So as for my cute husband! He absolutely loves his career of choice! When he gets to put out fires for practice and stuff he is just so giddy! He loves being around all the equipment and getting to use the hose! here are some pictures we took last week! Macy was with me one of the days that chance was doing this so she got to see some of it! During fire school they have to pass of all these skills, so last week they had to go into a burning trailor and put the fire out and remove everything from inside and do a whole bunch of other stuff! I could only stay for the beginning becasue the smoke got too bad and it was bad for the baby! But i am so proud of my honey! He is going to make a great fire fighter! O and an amazing daddy!Look how handsome he is in his gear!
So this is kind of how it started! So you can imagine why i had to leave! No Good for baby!
This is them getting ready for everything!!! Sorry that was out of order!

Anyway that is a little bit of our life right now! Chance has finals all week and then state testing in a couple weeks so he is just studying really hard and working! I am just working in the mornings and then sleeping all day HAHAHAHA!

We are leaving to Reno on Friday for 9 days and we are so excited!!!

I am so impatient!!!

I have to say the waiting game when you are pregnant is the worst!!!! MY first appointment was kind of disappointing. They didnt do anything! Since we have no idea how far along i am it is so frustrating that they didnt measure or anything! We have to wait till November 19th until we get any news at all!

As far as how i am doing............ things are actually getting better! I am starting to have more good days than bad days! But the bad days are pretty bad! I have to sit in bed all day and eat saltines!! If i even sit up i feel really sick! Its not so much fun! But i bet it will be worth it!

Chance has been the most perfect husband though! He makes me breakfast pretty much every morning ( he has done that since we go married) But now since i have been so sick he has been making dinner most every night as well! He also has stepped up and always makes sure the house is spotless! He does the laundry, mops the floors, cleans the bathroom and makes sure the dishes are done! I feel so bad!!! Those are things i should do but since i have been so sick he has been just so wonderful to pick up the slack! He is so great and i am so lucky!

Chance is so excited to be a daddy! HE talks to my tummy every morning and night! He always talks about how excited he is! When we come across someone who doesnt know, before i can even get a word in he says, " o by the way, we are pregnant!" HAHAHAHA he will be just the cutest daddy!

Anyway sorry about the no pictures! I will update with some pictures soon!

I AM PREGNANT!!!!!!

Yes that is right! In about 7 months Chance and i will have a new little addition to our family!!! We are so excited! Chances birthday was last Tuesday but he had school all day and night so we celebrated it that Saturday and at 4:00 AM that morning i went and took a pregnancy test and it showed i was pregnant! SO i ran into the room and woke chance up and said happy birthday and gave him the pregnancy test!!! HE was so excited! We called both our families right then and gave the good news! Yes early morning phone calls are annoying but i think this was a good excuse for one! Our families are very excited!

Well today we had our very first baby Appointment. I didnt get to be with the doctor but i was with the MA and she just told me everything i needed to know about being pregnant and answered all my questions! We have established that my due date is either May 10 or June 10, depending on a couple things! Crazy as it sounds i already have a belly!!!!! I cant believe it! Some are thinking it just may be twins!!! That would be nuts! My next appointment is in 3 weeks and that is where the doctor will measure the baby and do an ultra sound and we get to hear the babys heart beat!!! We are so excited! Here are some pictures!Yes that is my prego picture!!!! See i have a belly! Its pretty nuts but still cute!
That is right it says i am pregnant!
Here are all my goodies that i got from the doctor! Yea i have only heard horror stories about prenatals but i am going to try!

As far as what i have been experiencing so far is Morning sickness, day sickness and night sickness!!! Yes sick all the time but the doctor gave me Zofran that helps with the nausea! I am tired all the time and i feel like i could eat a whole cow in one day! Every about hour and a half my stomach feels completely empty and starving! I pee on the hour every hour if not more! This is nuts! My first trimester is almost over and that will be nice!

BYU Football Games, Friends and a Bridal Shower

Ok so it has been quite a while since i have post anything so there are a lot of pictures and stuff for me to post! So i hope you enjoy this!

First, Jessica my best friend in the whole world got married last weekend! It was a beautiful wedding. She looked so beautiful! Chance and i got the opportunity to be at the sealing and it was just amazing. Jessica is like my sister so it was just like seeing my sister get married. It was just awesome! Well Before that i planned her bridal shower, actually she decided she wanted a lingerie party! I was like o my goodness ok let me see what i can do!!!! So me and her sister and other friend planned the whole thing! We played lots of games, that i probably shouldnt share, we ate yummy ice cream and we ate a very interesting looking cake. Here is the picture of the cake. I hope no one gets offended but i think it is hilarious!!!!!1
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Everyone was laughing so hard! O my goodness so funny!

Next there are two things combined! Chance and i are huge fans of BYU football. We dont miss a game! We have been lucky to be invited to a couple of the home games and it has been super fun! For one of the games My bishop from the singles ward gave us tickets to sit next to them at the game! It was super fun! Our friends Kamrah and Jameson and their baby Lochton wanted to hang out that night so after the game we met up for dinner at Glorias little Italy and then we went to a comedy show in Provo! It was such a fun night! We had a blast! Then next game was yesterday and we went with Chances Grand Parents! We love them they were super fun! They both graduated from Utah State so they were rooting for the Aggies and of course Chance and I were rooting for the cougars so it was a lot of fun! Here are all the pictures from the games!
This is baby Lochton! He is so cute and looks a lot different now! Those who know me know that i have been baby hungry since i was like 10 so this little boy i obviuosly just love to death! In fact, I even will take him during church and have him for 2 hours, even when i am teaching my primary class!!! HAHAHA I know i am a dork!
Us at the game! Yea we switched sun glasses because i had my eyes dialted that day and i had to keep my sunglasses on because my eyes would hurt really bad. Well my sunglasses were so tight they were giving me a headache so my amazing husband told me that he would wear mine and i would wear his! What a cutie!

This is Kamrah and Jameson! This was outside the comedy club! We have a lot of fun with them! We all have the same sense of humor so its way fun when we hang out we pretty much just laugh the whole time! We are so glad they moved into the ward when we did!
Here we are with Grandma and Grandpa Wride last night! This game was way fun but really freezing! We had a lot of fun with them!These were our seats with Grandma and Grandpa Wride!!!! They have season tickets for these exact same spots every year!

We have been having such a great time being married! We are loving life! There is nothing more special and more great than having an eternal companion! We love each other!
