Just goofing off with the camera with my Aunt Stormy!!!

She has finally arrived! January 20th at 1:56 am Summer Alyse Bladen was born at 9 lbs. 8 ounces and 21 inches long. She is absolutely beautiful! She has the chubbiest cheeks and the cutest double chin and rolls that go on for days.

Bryce and I love being new parents. Although it comes with many sleepless nights and a lot of diaper changes she is worth every bit of it! She is out pride and joy! I think she looks just like Bryce when he was a baby and he thinks she looks like me. So I guess we have to wait until she is older! :)

Catching up!

So a quick little catch up to me and Bryce.... I am now almost 30 weeks a long and Summer is growing fast and BIG lol atleast the doctor thinks she is gonna be a big girl. We got a 3D ultrasound and she was able to make her first debut or atleast kind of. We got to see what she might look like. I think she is going to have Bryces nose and my cheeks. Also we had a doctors appointment last monday and we now are starting our bimonthly visits! I cant believe we are already to that! Time is flying and before we know it our little girl will be here! We put her stroller and carseat together and put the bedding on her crib. Its starting to come together and it is making me more excited for her to get here!

I am almost done with my first semester in the Respiratory Therapy program and I only will have 3 semesters to go and I will finally be done with school! Even though its going to be tough with a newborn it will be worth it in the end. Bryce is going to be starting his last semester in the business program and he will graduate in May! I'm so jealous but I'm very proud of him.

Last weekend Bryce and I made our last trip up north to see my sister and her husband for a while. No more long distances for me. We had a great weekend! I got to go to one of my really good friends reception and I got to see my sister! We love Logan. Its so pretty during the fall up there!

These are her little feet and toes!

This is her profile view! Look at her cute nose :)

Bryce and I finally were able to find out what we are having and like most of you already know its a GIRL!!! I'm so excited. She wouldnt cooperate very well when we first started the ultrasound, so they had to shake and push my belly to get her to uncross her ankles. I think me telling her this is the only time I will give her permission to uncross her legs before she is married helped the most :) But I did tell the ultrasound tech that she couldnt very well be my child unless she was a little stinker lol!

School also started on Aug. 24th. I started classes in the Respiratory Therapy program and Bryce is starting his last year in college. Hallelujah! We have officially come to terms with the fact that we probably wont see much of each other for the next year which sucks but its for the best.

I will be 20 weeks on Monday! HALF WAY THERE! I cant believe it. Time has flown by so fast and before we know it she will be here! I cant wait. It seems so far away though. I keep counting down holidays and big events coming up so it makes it seem faster than counting down the days now lol. I started feeling her move about last week and this week I really feel her but I think its just cause I got use to what she feels like. Its the most amazing feeling in the world! I think Bryce gets a little jealous sometimes cause he doesnt get to feel her, but I think in the next couple of weeks he should be able to. Bryce and I went to the SUU vs. Dixie game on Thursday and every time the cannons went off and people started cheering I could feel her move like crazy. It was fun cause it kind of tickled!

My sister finally found out what she is having to but I will have to wait til she post it on her blog to make the announcement on mine :) But I'm so happy for her and I cant wait to find out the name when they have one picked out.

These are some pictures from my birthday weekend in Salt Lake. My sister came down from Logan and met us there along with my mom, my Aunt Darlene and My Uncle Gary. We went to the Garden House Restaurant on top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House.

this one the baby has its leg stretched out on the left side

these next two are from 12 1/2 weeks ( this one the baby is sucking its thumb) sorry they are so blurry

this is the baby at 9 1/2 weeks

this is the baby at i think 7 1/2 weeks. (our little gummy bear) :)

This month has been a busy month for us. We went to Logan to visit my sister, it was my 22nd birthday, Bryce got me tickets to the Lady Antebellum and Due West concert ( which I have been wanting to go to forever and it was a really good concert), we went to Salt Lake, my Aunt and Uncle came out to visit for 2 weeks, and we scheduled our appointment to find out what we are having! :) We are so excited!

And yes it is true me and my sister are pregnant together and have the same due date! Crazy huh! It was by shear coincidence that it happened that way. We are now 14 1/2 weeks and starting to get the beginning of our "baby bumps." On the 26th of August is when we get to find out what we are having. I think Brooke will find out the first of September.

Well we finally are married and its been about 3 weeks! I cant believe it! Time is flying by so fast! We went on our honeymoon to Puerto Vallarta Mexico where we stayed 5days and 4 nights at Fiesta Americano Resort. It was so pretty! When we first got to Mexico there was like no one there but then as they days went on more and more people started to show, so we didnt have the beach and the pool to ourselves anymore :( It was hard getting back to reality, being able to see each other all day everyday to not being able to anymore cause he works and goes to school during the day and I work nights! But we are surviving.
As Most of you already know Bryce and I found out we are going to be parents! lol Thats right we have a little one on the way. My due date is January 25th! Crazy huh!?!? It happened a little sooner than we were expecting but we couldnt be happier! We went to the doctor on Friday and had our first Ultra Sound and we got to see the heart beat and hear it!!! It was beating so fast. I think he said it was beating 152 bpm. It measured about half of an inch and I will be 8 weeks on Monday! Our doctor called it our little gummy bear so thats our nickname for it for now lol :) We have another appointment on the 25th of this month.... It made everything feel so real when we got to see it and hear it! Its amazing!!
