It was especially fun seeing the excitement in Lydia's face hehe She enjoyed each one of the holidays and let EVERYONE know. For Halloween, Lydia was Lydia Bug and Brie was Bumble Brie :) it was super cute and we had so much fun trick or treating with my mom and especially Cody, Ali, and Addie Willis. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For Thanksgiving, we went to the Griffin's house and had a lot of family there. They have a huge backyard with everything a little kid could want to play with. Lydia was out there pretty much all day and i had to beg her to come back inside later that night. We also we went Max's parents house and ate some really yummy food and had fun with the fam :)
Christmas was a blast! And the days leading up to Christmas were a blast! The girls loved seeing the lights up everywhere and they loved decorating the house. They woke up in the morning around 7 and they tore open their gifts so fast. Max and I were talking about how its crazy how we used to be so excited for Christmas and couldn't wait to see what we got. And now, we were so excited to see the girls reactions to what they got :)
I really want this years resolution (besides losing weight obviously) to be to take more pics and video of my family. i don't want them to have to try to rely on their memories to picture how their childhood was. i want to be able to SHOW them along with telling them. I REALLY slacked this past year. i have some random pics from the past few months I'll attach to this post lol But i missed major picture times especially for thanksgiving and Christmas :/ Brie's birthday is a week from Tuesday so i will try my best :)

There was one day, after nap time, i went into Lydia's room to wake her up and i couldn't find her anywhere! after awhile of me yelling for her and looking around the house, i found her in a clothes box in here room completely passed out! She started waking up by the time i got my camera but it was so funny :) She wasn't amused and i was told to leave her room "right now!"

So Lydia always walks to the mailbox with me during the day to get the mail. i would always give her the junk mail and she would get so excited saying "its MINE?!" SO this past year, she would send mail back and forth to her grandma Rieck. Her face lights up when she gets a card from grandma! <strike><strike><strike></strike></strike></strike>

(it might get a little boring but, i want to update it like my journal lol u can skip if u like...)
The past few weeks have been a roller coaster for our family. We've had A LOT of car drama. In August, i went to a girls night with some aunts and cousins of mine. While i was out with them, Max took the girls to a family party that his side of the family was having. While i was playing games with everyone Max called me and said that he was heading home and the car started smoking and broke down. AND he had 2 tired, screaming girls in the back :( So he called a tow truck and me and my sister Alicia drove to go pick them up. Luckily we found someone to fix it for cheap (it ended up being the radiator). Then a couple weeks later, Max (poor guy) was driving home from hanging out with a friend of his and the car totally broke down on the freeway! We decided, since we didn't want this car in the long run, to just get rid of it instead of putting more money into it. SO, the next day, we went car shopping and found the perfect car (van to be exact lol). We had our other car paid off so we now have a car payment but its worth it for the piece of mind :) A few days later...Max's work truck breaks down! (he needs to stop breaking our cars! lol jk i still love u ;) BUT we were SO lucky to find this awesome guy out here in Maricopa that just completely fixed it in our budget :D Hopefully all our car problems r over *sigh*
As far as all of us go, Max (being a pool guy) is excited that its getting cooler here hehe He works so hard at his job and i really appreciate what he does for our family :) I'm looking forward to the holidays! On the 1st of this month, Lydia and i decorated to house with all our Halloween and fall decor. its so much fun and seeing how excited she's getting, makes it that much more fun. Lydia is one of the funniest kids i know. She says things sometimes that really surprise me lol She's gotten to the point where she will listen when Max and i r talking and she will comment on it haha We have to really watch what we say around her. She has hit the jealousy stage :/ When Brie was first born, she was just super protective with her and not jealous AT ALL. but now she gets really excited when Brie goes down for a nap cause then she gets her Mommy and Daddy all to herself. The other night, after work, i needed to go to the mall to return some things. i decided to take Lydia just o get her out of the house and out of her dads hair for a bit (if u didn't know, she's a super daddy's girl lol). i was going to make it a quick trip BUT, we got to the mall and my mood was quickly changed. we walked to the different stores so i could return my stuff and she was just having so much fun just being there just me and her :) We ended up going into the Disney store, we went into Claire's and they were having a huge sale so i gave her a little basket they had and let her pick out a few things. She thought that was just the most amazing thing ever! They also had little rides so she went on a couple. After we we done with all that, we went to the food court and got ice cream. As we were sitting there, she said "dis is soooo fun, mommy. and Brie's not here" haha! We just really needed a little girls time :)

By the time we got home, it was 9pm so she was pretty out of it. SO Max was carrying her upstairs and, half asleep, she says "i wove u mommy. Dank u for the mall." It made my heart melt :) I've decided to make it something we do more often.
Well, Miss Brie is just growing right before my eyes! She is pretty much crawling now, she says 'mama' (for me and Max lol), and she now waves and says 'bye'. Its so weird cause i still picture her as my tiny baby. i have to remind myself that she is 8 months old! In a few short months, shes going to be 1! Brie was my extremely hard newborn. She was constantly crying and nothing would get her to stop. My mom always had a special touch with her tho lol But we couldn't just hang out at my mom's all the time. After she got her first 2 teeth (at 2 months old!) She has done a complete turn around. She is the sweetest, snuggliest, and smartest baby i know :) I love in the mornings when its just her and i before everyone else gets up. She just sits and "talks" with me for awhile :) She's my little nugget and i just love her SO much!

Max has been working like crazy. He's a pool guy so especially since its getting hotter here, he has to work overtime getting pools ready for people to swim AND cause its getting so hot, its been making his job a lot harder (poor guy!)<br />Daycare's going pretty well for me. I thought it would be really hard adding a new baby to the mix but its not any different actually. She has been a pretty tough baby but shes getting a lot better now that's shes sleeping through the night (and I'm feeling a lot more sane lol). We had her blessing at my parents house on March 11th and it went really well. It was nice having family and friends there. <br />She was so cute in her little white dress hehe<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVIK63OXv1jvzeuWehollJVfsQHidKuyJjOEc0odXJXSNDyX2I_BzxkNPxVGDzbJMlyUAO8bhObCSuyQstOBm9UOw1zXVfhFQElK44HPX0Gm4kredxLFXTauf3yFcBnqTEDNzHRGnFr0NM/s1600/018.JPG"><img style="display:block;

I have 2 adorable, healthy, and extreamly smart girls and a husband that is such a good daddy and takes extremely good care of all us girls :) (and i think he's kinda cute ;))Heidi Rieckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10927163391313694109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646237414159468777.post-77235222031082351022012-02-25T19:59:00.004-08:002012-02-25T20:19:38.808-08:00Keep it comin'!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYG196xNC6tdnE-slba0T6clYnBEXUI1ScDghaOB4e2SEygxV9ytn_lobIEAiV7MwyxI97myEc1MnAEz8ks38KgkdxxKMcMbPvXChrh676TDEgQY3zB90rcWEO5lQQjagSZthazrOuXpet/s1600/imagesCA1W45CP.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 259px; height: 194px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYG196xNC6tdnE-slba0T6clYnBEXUI1ScDghaOB4e2SEygxV9ytn_lobIEAiV7MwyxI97myEc1MnAEz8ks38KgkdxxKMcMbPvXChrh676TDEgQY3zB90rcWEO5lQQjagSZthazrOuXpet/s320/imagesCA1W45CP.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713293987401736882" /></a><br />So i gained 40 lbs with this pregnancy :/ which isn't as bad as the 50 i gained with Lydia. Also with Lydia, i lost 20 lbs in the hospital right away but, months after she was born, i was at the SAME weight for the rest of the year pretty much. it took a lot of work to get any weight off at all. Well, I'm so happy to say, i only have 10 more lbs to lose with this pregnancy! I was really worried cause i thought i would've lost a TON in the hospital (especially when my water broke and GALLONS came out) but after i got home from the hospital, i weighed myself and lost....absolutely nothing. nothing at all. What the heck? you would think i would've lost how much the baby weighs right? well anyway, i got really swollen so i knew that when the water weight came off, i would probably lose a lot. So i started weight watchers and have already lost 30 lbs since she was born 3 weeks ago :) I'm a happy camper right now. I definitely wont be anywhere close to my goal weight even after i lose the 10 lbs but, its a good start :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvQ7QhylFqaYNAlMkx6OXwuES9dg3A1c4XLdO6YcKZcIOwD0rSJH-fElBpvsJUyEuXYyytTBUArutsGXG7kZVHHz3bYOOtbjWdNQOkTZVHJiVxwYWlBOjTbw0pUUyjTviO4H-uMH2yK49y/s1600/imagesCAJA0N2I.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 243px; height: 208px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvQ7QhylFqaYNAlMkx6OXwuES9dg3A1c4XLdO6YcKZcIOwD0rSJH-fElBpvsJUyEuXYyytTBUArutsGXG7kZVHHz3bYOOtbjWdNQOkTZVHJiVxwYWlBOjTbw0pUUyjTviO4H-uMH2yK49y/s320/imagesCAJA0N2I.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713293987685028482" /></a>Heidi Rieckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10927163391313694109noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646237414159468777.post-66602521883673830022012-02-18T21:17:00.000-08:002012-02-18T22:24:23.836-08:00Gabriella Jane RieckWelp, she's here! We were told we were on baby watch but we really didnt think she would come a whole month early! lol This blog is pretty much a journal for our family so here's the birth story (sorry if its not 2 exciting and a little TMI lol)...<br /><br />So, on the 4th (a Saturday), Max and i were getting everything for the baby coming soon. We installed the carseat and cleaned a lot of the house. My mom and my sister Alicia came over that day and asked how i was feeling and i told them that i felt great :) I wasnt haveing many contractions (i had been having them for a few months) so i really thought things were going ok and that she would stay in there pretty close to here due date. Then, around 5:30pm i started having some MAJOR contractions. When they got that bad, i would usually take a bath and they would dye down a lot. So before i got into the bath, i noticed quite a bit of blood. It freaked me out and the contractions were stonger than they've ever been so i told Max that i thought it might be time. I called my parents on the way to their house and asked if they could take Lydia. Luckly my sister was there and told us that she would take her for the night (we didnt know if we would get sent home or not).<br />My mom actually came in the car with us in case things got really bad and i needed more help.<br />The contractions were pretty bad driving there but my mom kept my mind off it most of the time. The hospital was an hour away so it was pretty tough :( <br />They checked me into triage and hooked me up to the monitors. By now, the contractions were so strong that i couldnt even imagine getting sent home. I didnt care that it was still 4 weeks til my due date lol I wanted the baby out and for the pain to stop. My dr came by and he said that he wanted me to walk around for about an hour to see i f i would dialate even more (i was already a 4). I thought "r u freakin kidding me?! im in so much pain! i cant walk around!". My dr came back 2 minutes later and said "nevermind, ive been watching the monitor and ur having huge contractions every 2 minutes. We are going to admit you." We were to happy :) They wheeled me back to my room and my dr wanted to check me and break my water. (This is when it gets a little gross but, sorry lol my blog...) He broke my water and, no joke, water came POURING out. Not just regular. It was gallons of water! The dr said he had never seen anything like it. and the nurse said that she had worked at that hospital for 15 years and had never seen that much water come out of someone lol I mustve lost 20lbs just then lol And looking at my stomach after that, i already felt SO skinny haha<br />The contractions got a little worse so i got the epidural. It kinda worked but not completely. I was so nervous to have another birth experience like Lydia's (the epidural never fully kicked in so i felt everything). So they called the guy back in to give me a higher dose. It worked for about an half hour and then wore off again. By this time (3am), my best friend Lindsay and her mom came to hang out and be there for the birth. I was in SO much pain and was able to feel everything. The nurse checked me and told me it was time to start pushing. i told her that i NEEDED something for the pain and that i didnt want to feel anything. They gave me one more dose of meds but it didnt do anything. They said that my body just didnt get numb from the meds. Oh crap. Thats when i started to panic. I knew how it felt to have a baby natural and i NEVER wanted to feel that again. But they were all ready and in the room so i knew i had to push (even tho i was crying...a lot lol)<br />i only had to push for 15 minutes and then she was out. It was such a surreal feeling. I could hear her crying and i couldnt help but to cry a bit myself :) It was such an amazing experience. and i loved sharing it with the people i had in the room. They were all such a good support system and they said it was amazing for them to witness. She came at 5:53am and was 7lbs 5oz and 20inches long :) <br />(thanks to Lindsay for taking all the pics!)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI87rpwZOvKsY4ozS0dwNbsJRlwS_O-pI4SCau6_iYIccpPIZHGltFsje1xdsgwjhraaTihdBueJwrZC0jTaZxUQM3LsHxYEtcAXhA3Dz01mhWmAU-FTdpLVAoD6oo2GGcq8RLCcWkmIXK/s1600/IMG_5125.jpg"><img style="display:block;

We didnt even know she couldnt come home with us until the day we were getting ready to leave. I took it really hard. It just wasnt what i had planned on at all. There was a lot of crying on my part. Brie took everything like a champ. It killed me tho cause she hardly ever cried and the one time she did, was when we had to take her to the nursery and hand her over to the nurse. She started crying so loud and i lost it. it kinda makes me wanna cry just thinking about it. I had to leave the room fast before i really had a break down. We had so much support from family and friends and people from our ward. it really helped us get through everything. <br />I called the hospital a lot the next couple of days to check up on her and they would always say that she hasnt changed or that it got a little worse. Then after a couple days, they called and said that we could go pick her up :) it was the best day lol <br />We just love having her around. Its still so weird to me that i have 2 kids! When did i become a grown up? lol And now this girl is happy and healthy and already almost weighs 8 lbs! preemie? i dont think so lol We just love her so much :)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1AH8UJXy1srJ4jdZ_CC1pmIxvG0Jy3xy5eL_ql_a688IKZI3Ez5l437qVPnXBWw4958kBH1TjW07U6mK_zlny12K-jWwwpDDHmU0v-NEH6dAo7sbjyoNwA7t9CHda1ac4BsNCjWWpl9pV/s1600/IMG_5287.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1AH8UJXy1srJ4jdZ_CC1pmIxvG0Jy3xy5eL_ql_a688IKZI3Ez5l437qVPnXBWw4958kBH1TjW07U6mK_zlny12K-jWwwpDDHmU0v-NEH6dAo7sbjyoNwA7t9CHda1ac4BsNCjWWpl9pV/s320/IMG_5287.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5710728562735874354" /></a>Heidi Rieckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10927163391313694109noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646237414159468777.post-26061937643281911242012-01-18T17:30:00.000-08:002012-01-18T18:21:25.013-08:00Bring on Baby :)Well, I'm just gonna say it...hospitals are SO boring lol I was having some bleeding and major contractions. I was also feeling a lot of pressure down there. So i called my Dr and they said to go into the hospital right away. Our hospital is an hour away so we dropped everything and heading right over there.<br />They had us in triage for awhile and then the nurse came back with an apologetic look on her face. She said "well you just earned urself a night in the hospital". They wanted to monitor me and make sure that all the bleeding would stop. We ended up having Lydia sleep at Alicia's house and Alicia and my mom watched my babysitting kids for me the next day. It was a looong night in the hospital. They had a fetal monitor on me and another monitor on my belly to track my contractions. The major problem was that the baby didn't like either monitor on me so she would kick it off every 15 minutes. Every time i would get comfortable and try to sleep, the nurses would come in and have to find the heartbeat again (which would take about 15 min) so needless to say, i didn't get any sleep. But i was so glad i was there cause i started to have more bleeding. Because of that, they made me stay there another night :( All in all tho, everything looked awesome when i was discharged. They said the baby was fine and they also gave me a couple steroid shots so her lungs will develop faster in the chance that she comes out soon. Now it's just a lot of bed rest for me lol <br />I had an ultrasound while i was there and it was pretty awesome :) They did a close up on her face and she started yawning :) It was the cutest thing seeing her nose all scrunched up when she did. It made the fact that i was having a baby SO real. The Dr said that we have to be prepared for a baby any day. Thanks everyone for ur thoughts and prayers! i know for a fact they helped us with all this :)Heidi Rieckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10927163391313694109noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646237414159468777.post-66940177918874643752012-01-05T15:22:00.000-08:002012-01-05T15:44:10.209-08:00Time Flys!Wasn't it JUST Halloween?! It seems like when Halloween came up, everything started to just zoom by! Something that kept my sanity for this pregnancy was always thinking 'but i don't have to worry cause I'm not having the baby til next year' um...Its next year! I'm having a baby next month! <br /><br />I went to the Dr's today and they checked me and said that I'm dilated to a 1 and that this little girl's head is RIGHT THERE! It makes me so nervous but i just have a feeling everything will be OK. They also said that the baby has officially dropped. What that means also is that my contractions are going to get a bit more intense. I didn't really think that was possible at this point ha ha jk My Dr said i just have to take it super easy for the next few weeks and at least keep this girl in for 4 or 5 more weeks. Even that sounds way 2 soon for me lol She's on her way...<br /><br />As far as everything else is going, we are dealing with the terrible 2s at our house :( We aren't sure what triggered it but, Lydia freaks out over the smallest things. I think she can also sense the baby coming. But she will be totally fine and then just start screaming and we cant do ANYTHING to get her to stop. We have even tried giving her her favorite treat and she will just throw it. She's still my little sweetheart but just has these crazy tantrums :( We are just trying to give her as much attention as we can. She has been through a lot the past few months (new house, big girl bed, potty training, the baby) I think its all coming to blows now. Pray for the storm to pass the Rieck home ha ha<br /><br />On a lighter note, Thanks SO much to Grama Lora (Lora Loomis) for making Lydia this cute owl poncho and beanie! She loves it! She always pulls it over her eyes and says "i a owl" ha ha We love u Grama Lora!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8USzlf3gAmQ8f9uznkLNpIgYYCUJPAc2pOgMLfUkNb0NxUTLhH2lUeDheKItii8-CRNo6COxVtTdG9sSsbWZRW4XyysZOXSl1OU1S1556-zdAkyDYhDV307DXCc56Z6vpGLp-ELPUX0vP/s1600/1045d5d3e538__1325806331000.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8USzlf3gAmQ8f9uznkLNpIgYYCUJPAc2pOgMLfUkNb0NxUTLhH2lUeDheKItii8-CRNo6COxVtTdG9sSsbWZRW4XyysZOXSl1OU1S1556-zdAkyDYhDV307DXCc56Z6vpGLp-ELPUX0vP/s320/1045d5d3e538__1325806331000.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5694297064463554994" /></a>Heidi Rieckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10927163391313694109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646237414159468777.post-61334839136640164752011-12-23T15:43:00.000-08:002011-12-23T16:00:42.920-08:00Baby UpdateWell, I'm now 30 1/2 weeks! How insane is that? it has gone by so fast! Anyway, i have been having some pretty intense contractions lately :( SO not pleasent lol We almost went to the hospital the other night cause they were seriously as strong as they were when i was in labor with Lydia. We waited them out and they stopped. So i had a drs appointment today and they checked me just to see if the contractions were doing anything. She checked me and said that i've actually dialated a bit :/ She said its nothing to worry bout unless its even more at my next appointment in 2 weeks. As she was checking me, she freaked me out lol She was feeling and said 'oh my goodness...um...have u been to OB triage yet?' i told her no. Then she said 'i think i might feel this little girls head' What?! She then proceeded to push on my belly (really hard lol) and actually had a hold of the head and the butt! She said that she was trying to see if it was the head or the butt bearing down on the cervix (i dont blame people if they have stopped reading by now lol its very TMI lol) She said that by the feel of it, She thinks its the butt. She wants me to get an ultrasound in a little while just to make sure. She said if its the butt, then thats ok. if its the head, then this girl is making her way out! Lets hope for the butt haha<br /><br />We are getting so excited for Christmas around here :) I cant wait for Lydia to open her presents lol She is sooo excited. She knows whos present is whos under the tree and will hand me mine and hand her dad his. She's always asking 'Kim-miis?' (christmas lol) I always feel so bad telling her 'not yet...' :/ <br /><br />Thats about all thats going on in the Rieck house :) I'm so excited for this next year. There are gonna be some big changes and i cant wait! (and it seems like this baby isn't very patient either hehe).Heidi Rieckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10927163391313694109noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646237414159468777.post-49871636884259677982011-11-29T08:26:00.000-08:002011-11-29T08:56:25.283-08:00LOVE This Time Of Year!Everything about this season just makes me happy :) <br />The decorating...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVRoLvAKLnJGxeU3fc5HuYi1kEDa-6nR6wJoL2FHgeCR_Opdv9xi-JuG0u5ZDs03W7Hu7OdNwzhB-Araoo_dfVCA16Ad2Zij_XdxGu0NpXyDJj-IIHcZyUsSI3Ho5S7TDF1LVfrNU9z4-8/s1600/christmas_tree-11414.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 269px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVRoLvAKLnJGxeU3fc5HuYi1kEDa-6nR6wJoL2FHgeCR_Opdv9xi-JuG0u5ZDs03W7Hu7OdNwzhB-Araoo_dfVCA16Ad2Zij_XdxGu0NpXyDJj-IIHcZyUsSI3Ho5S7TDF1LVfrNU9z4-8/s320/christmas_tree-11414.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680457613586249010" /></a><br />Family time...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirCHLQWVx7F4Rv_B5ztZ4x29U2UmEtHpEwfX3Arhqd5bVoCCbnX3_ZcehQjUmcPCpdDkb0mJYE2BoyIbYlatHLPALVo8ZkmTlPNa5ZXRt72sqUkjy9c5zbyKMmkgV82OaF6f70h3UVxil_/s1600/%255Bwallcoo.com%255D_christmas_family_Vol_090_DS093.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirCHLQWVx7F4Rv_B5ztZ4x29U2UmEtHpEwfX3Arhqd5bVoCCbnX3_ZcehQjUmcPCpdDkb0mJYE2BoyIbYlatHLPALVo8ZkmTlPNa5ZXRt72sqUkjy9c5zbyKMmkgV82OaF6f70h3UVxil_/s320/%255Bwallcoo.com%255D_christmas_family_Vol_090_DS093.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680457599262284658" /></a><br />The yummy food...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibJGb4dGnsuvavH-bHGoQHLz3OuLotdN5qGnx-Xhh4bWSlrntbFe3q1NHu2LLbR5FfGGYjzQLzpVn7OkwnEgBaxk6Ht6OPhadL2_jJ6t_TknaQDmgoBd0Jb80yu3BUeSNmugSsTCPAu7gy/s1600/christmas-cookies.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibJGb4dGnsuvavH-bHGoQHLz3OuLotdN5qGnx-Xhh4bWSlrntbFe3q1NHu2LLbR5FfGGYjzQLzpVn7OkwnEgBaxk6Ht6OPhadL2_jJ6t_TknaQDmgoBd0Jb80yu3BUeSNmugSsTCPAu7gy/s320/christmas-cookies.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680457617152376354" /></a><br />And just getting cozy in the cold weather...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHzuse4ciY07K0u2eDoWF4ufz5b6CFz0K1HHEYnDgSxpcEp2TIHq2mhekb8VTbHwC2r1gInp3V88jTZZNbaz-GdSvwjC9xXblJa0vB3KvxSFPM-vEs8MmQPZXIfpKTnmXfFebjQkNxjd2i/s1600/600-01235291w.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHzuse4ciY07K0u2eDoWF4ufz5b6CFz0K1HHEYnDgSxpcEp2TIHq2mhekb8VTbHwC2r1gInp3V88jTZZNbaz-GdSvwjC9xXblJa0vB3KvxSFPM-vEs8MmQPZXIfpKTnmXfFebjQkNxjd2i/s320/600-01235291w.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680457604267073058" /></a><br />Its even more exciting now that Lydia knows whats going on and is getting excited too. Last night, we were driving to my parents house and she wanted me to stop in front of EVERY house that haad lights up lol She just freaks out and says "Stop! Whites, Mommy!" haha And her new favorite word is Beautiful haha So we are already loving Christmas time with this girl :)<br /><br />Well, i had a drs appointment a couple weeks ago (im down to every 2 week appointments! weird huh?!) and had to get an ultrasound to make sure my placenta previa was gone. Luckly it is! Hopefully no c-section for me lol They also said that the baby would probably look really skinny still cause in the next couple weeks, she should gain the baby weight. BUT when she looked at her on the ultrasound, she was shocked to see that we have a little chunk on our hands haha She has the biggest cheeks i've seen. Her height was measuring normal BUT her weight (which is supposed to be measuring about 2 lbs right now) was measuring over 3! When i was born, i weighed almost 11 lbs! My poor mom (AND she did it all natural!). This is what karma is all about... Please be nice to me, baby Brie...haha<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisn5nUCxR4LPgbh0XBfsTU2e3ycU1PBrtGnBbuixgXLoQMfNFmM-3Wa1JLYBRuRhUuGFUv5Iok1cOhFH1fpY6tQOPM_CeBoaf-Ob6WCFSv28ugfdPygoLW03SRahyphenhyphenexrUGeOTV4sPedYfp/s1600/c5d6cce5491a__1322063002000.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 241px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisn5nUCxR4LPgbh0XBfsTU2e3ycU1PBrtGnBbuixgXLoQMfNFmM-3Wa1JLYBRuRhUuGFUv5Iok1cOhFH1fpY6tQOPM_CeBoaf-Ob6WCFSv28ugfdPygoLW03SRahyphenhyphenexrUGeOTV4sPedYfp/s320/c5d6cce5491a__1322063002000.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680457830587549026" /></a>Heidi Rieckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10927163391313694109noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646237414159468777.post-16728770135998815602011-11-21T13:58:00.000-08:002011-11-21T14:01:26.894-08:00Wouldn't it be nice?I tried to win this amazing prize last year (and obviously didn't lol) and I'm determined to win it again this year!

I've been so stressed with things. Between house payments, Contractions with this pregnancy, work, and TONS of other things on my irrational pregnant mind, i can barely get any sleep at night. I also freak myself out thinking that this pregnancy will end with an awful labor experience like last time. And not only that, our new Dr only delivers at 1 hospital. And that hospital happens to be an hour away. I freak out that we wont make it. <br />Well last night, Max and i were just sitting and talking about things we r a little worried about. Then we realized, we r just thinking of things that MIGHT go wrong or things that we just don't have any control over. Money's tight, yes, but we are making it. There are SO many things we have to be thankful for. As far as house payments, we HAVE a house. Not only that, its an amazing house. And as far as the pregnancy goes, in February, we are gonna have another sweet little girl to add to our family :) Sure there are tons of things that can go wrong with the pregnancy and the labor but, those are out of my control. I just think of my friends who have had a hard time getting pregnant or the friends of mine who have lost their babies. It breaks my heart to think of those situations. So it makes me think 'what really am i worried about?' That i might go through some pain to get this girl into the world? That is ridiculous. I admit, the pain i went through delivering Lydia was the most pain i've ever felt. But it was the most amazing experience of my entire life. So much so, that im doing it again lol <br />There's just so much to be greatful for that i cant just dwell on things that are overwhelming me. I have an awesome little family. A husband that cares for me more than anyone. i know he would do anything for me. He's been putting up with my morning sickness, aches, pains, emotional break downs, and times where im just so irrational haha i also have a little girl that amazes me everyday. She's so smart and its so fun to see the world thru her curious eyes :)<br />I'm going to be more positive and just enjoy the now instead of worrying about the unknown :) Bring on my favorite holidays! <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZx4Ba4Uzbf0VEnnbcR1CT-uXWUphQJAr9RTC5QrHT9f4Zaj-m7qqYFG_5ihmEhmrAxU9P3-LArJlrlEN4MxVvucByr9adGS2WGJGqtzVIf5e320as6si8Wd8uGEsRYvW3K2SOLLjnq8w9/s1600/4edit+-+Copy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZx4Ba4Uzbf0VEnnbcR1CT-uXWUphQJAr9RTC5QrHT9f4Zaj-m7qqYFG_5ihmEhmrAxU9P3-LArJlrlEN4MxVvucByr9adGS2WGJGqtzVIf5e320as6si8Wd8uGEsRYvW3K2SOLLjnq8w9/s320/4edit+-+Copy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672304893676003058" /></a>Heidi Rieckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10927163391313694109noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646237414159468777.post-72526874618587829742011-10-26T08:26:00.000-07:002011-10-26T08:53:08.085-07:00Update on ThingsWell, things are just moving along here. So much that i forget to keep my blog updated lol This pregnancy is going by SO fast and i don't wanna look back and see that i didn't write anything about it. As most of you already know, we are having another girl :) We are so excited! We wanted another girl for and now its all falling into place :) Our girls can be close friends. Me and my sister, Alicia, were 2 years apart and when we were younger, we did EVERYTHING together. Max and his brother, Niels, are 2 years apart and they had the same bond. So we are happy our girls will have that :) And we have TONS of girl clothes (some that Lydia never even wore cause she grew out of it before i even got to it lol). We are also SO happy its a girl cause we couldn't decide, to save our lives, on a boy name. Before we were even married, we had our first 2 girls names picked out. Lydia was my choice cause I've loved that name for so long. Max picked this girls name cause he's always loved it. Her name will be Gabriella Jane Rieck (but we will call her Brie). The middle name Jane is after 2 people that i care about A LOT, my friend Janet Peterson and my cousin Kimber (whose middle name is Janelle). <br />So far, this pregnancy has been pretty tough :/ I got sick at 4 weeks and i JUST started to feel better about a weeks or so ago. Every once and awhile, i get nauseous but at least its not like it was a few weeks ago. I've also been having a lot of what i thought was braxton hicks contractions. When i went into the Dr's last week, i told her that i have been having some very intense braxton hicks. She said thats no problem if its only twice a day. i told her its twice every half hour! She looked a Little freaked out so she checked me. She said that i wasn't dilated at all (thank goodness!) but my cervix had thinned a bit. She said that the contractions were the real deal. i just need to take it easy from here on out. With Lydia, i started having real contractions about 2 months before she came. So they said it could just get to be earlier with every pregnancy :( But we aren't 2 worried. Just being cautious now lol <br />Lydia keeps me pretty busy lately. which is good so I'm not counting the minutes until this pregnancy is over haha Shes just getting so big so fast. When we moved into our new house, we just put the crib in the baby's nursery and got Lydia a toddler bed. It was hard the first couple nights but now shes a pro. Its to the point where shes saying 'bye bye' to us before we are even done saying goodnight to her lol She just thinks shes so big in her big girl bed :) She's a little chatter box and is always on the go. Now that its cooler her, we take walks and go play at the park. She loooves it. She gets really upset when the walks are over now lol <br />Sorry for the huge post lol just had a lot to get off my chest hehe I'll try to update more often :) and i will upload some ultrasound pics as soon as i can. Still getting last minute things sorted in our house :)Heidi Rieckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10927163391313694109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646237414159468777.post-82385402635045893202011-09-05T07:31:00.000-07:002011-09-05T07:41:21.520-07:00Officially in Debt...but lovin' it!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJNiPg7xK1ezp8HUtdCgRX_Og_ndrJ0E7O2zYhemmOvYY4n-l9M274xhYm8KYAJUaZWtYtKPTWweEoFULrdIYjl1NDgtUETLfNuaaBAbR3c33kFHPAlcLzsPG3-LulTiaz2eUJMPI7kVhR/s1600/20110717001858928449000000-oedit.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJNiPg7xK1ezp8HUtdCgRX_Og_ndrJ0E7O2zYhemmOvYY4n-l9M274xhYm8KYAJUaZWtYtKPTWweEoFULrdIYjl1NDgtUETLfNuaaBAbR3c33kFHPAlcLzsPG3-LulTiaz2eUJMPI7kVhR/s320/20110717001858928449000000-oedit.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5648885425392249266" /></a>
<br />Our gorgeous new house! We signed papers for it on Friday and we will be moving in THIS week! Its been a long time coming and its actually just in time that we got it too! My brother comes home from his mission in November and we are actually in his room right now at my parents house lol and with this baby coming in February...the time couldn't be better :)
<br />A few months ago, i posted a pic of a different house that we were trying to get and i was set on getting it. Everytime we it would get close to closing on the house, something else would come up and we would haveta wait even longer. We thought that we might as well go look at other houses, just to see. We found this one first. Max fell in love right away. We put an offer on it that afternoon. The next morning, our realtor called and said that our offer was accepted! We knew then that it was meant to be :) we pulled out of the other house offer and went full force with this one. We are so happy and excited to start this chapter of our lives. And i can really start nesting like crazy when we find out the gender on this baby next month :)
<br />
<br />I'll post more pics once we are all settled :)Heidi Rieckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10927163391313694109noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646237414159468777.post-27353036520911386142011-09-02T06:20:00.000-07:002011-09-02T07:34:32.510-07:00"Rella" Obsessed<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqzx9k8kIDa0Vw4U581UgJRY6TBH2GB-o2_jJ922f0SRDvune5CDP9aPcH2jSLCcuulimHjW5s-eC4wDcToudUGTKxMaXFuYWpvIQlEu3RQAtH3CBdsipSqVGyKCfnezOG812_soqtGai1/s1600/imagesjnjn.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 222px; height: 227px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqzx9k8kIDa0Vw4U581UgJRY6TBH2GB-o2_jJ922f0SRDvune5CDP9aPcH2jSLCcuulimHjW5s-eC4wDcToudUGTKxMaXFuYWpvIQlEu3RQAtH3CBdsipSqVGyKCfnezOG812_soqtGai1/s320/imagesjnjn.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5647770485677723474" /></a>

<br />
<br />Lydia and i have been watching a lot of Disney movies lately. I loooove that she's finally watching more than Yo Gabba Gabba haha Lydia's favorite right now is Cinderella (one that i LOVED growing up). So of coarse, she thinks she's Cinderella :) She tries to sing the songs all high pitch like her and everything hehe Well, when it came down to seeing who I was in the movie...theres no mom except for the evil step-mother. So, im one of the girl mice haha
<br />After watching Cinderella tons and TONS of times, i turned on Aladdin. She was jazmine. Wheres the mommy? Then the next movie The Little Mermaid, No mom. It just seemed to happen with every movie we turned on (pocahontas, beauty and the beast, pinoccio, and so on). THEN, we turned on one that had a mom, Sleeping Beauty :) BUT she was in it for a few minutes cause she didnt even get to raise her baby girl :( Then came Tangled, SAME THING the mom got gyped lol Who's mommy supposed to be? lol The last straw was finding Nemo cause i just wasnt thinking haha

<br />Do you guys know that moms arent really needed? you can still have a happy ending without them lol I'm not mad cause i looove disney movies :) Just something i thought was interesting. Besides there still are the VERY few like Dumbo, The rescuers down under, Mulan, Peter Pan, and Toy Story that DO have moms lol Heidi Rieckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10927163391313694109noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646237414159468777.post-36163428305838930552011-07-25T06:43:00.000-07:002011-07-25T06:59:35.179-07:00Rieck, Party Of FOUR?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQPSmmJh-qPdHpZdbxhJghdhUIIfKueEcfxgO-boG5OR17U6EXCuhW0vt8yd_oeH0KWFHn33XvelSr7vLQQMU1XMH9_gIDZ51XfkcVGdGz5nmFxAsSF0XzB-j2HFMe_DEygIQLj8Ve8cS7/s1600/01308850987080000000896988.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQPSmmJh-qPdHpZdbxhJghdhUIIfKueEcfxgO-boG5OR17U6EXCuhW0vt8yd_oeH0KWFHn33XvelSr7vLQQMU1XMH9_gIDZ51XfkcVGdGz5nmFxAsSF0XzB-j2HFMe_DEygIQLj8Ve8cS7/s320/01308850987080000000896988.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633289147818900946" /></a><br />We are SO stinkin' excited to say that there will be a new little Rieck joining the family in February! <br /><br />I'm only 9 weeks along but we wanted to let people know sooner this time cause miscarriages happen a lot with the second pregnancy in my family. We wanted people to know so they can send us well wishes and pray that everything goes well. AND if i did have a miscarriage now, people would kinda understand what I'm going through. I wouldn't want to have to tell people "well, we WERE pregnant but now...". <br />I went to the drs last week and they did an ultrasound and said that everything looked great :) Healthy baby and strong heartbeat! I have pics from that ultrasound but i need to scan them in. so i'll do that soon :)Heidi Rieckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10927163391313694109noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646237414159468777.post-2199092992384906992011-06-20T07:08:00.000-07:002011-06-20T08:01:09.030-07:00The Fathers in my life...I would not be the person i am without certain guys in my life. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">My Grandpa Fackrell</span> He's an amazing guy.

From the moment they cleaned her off at the hospital, he held her, talked to her, calmed her down, and just soothed her to the point where she wouldnt eat for me without him CONSTANTLY talked to her.

We have paid off all our credit cards and other expenses! It is one of the most awesome feelings :) We are hoping everything keeps going right for us and we get the house too lol But it always seems like when everything goes right for us, something pretty bad happens.

We are so excited and its everything we've wanted. We signed the contracts yesterday and now we just have to wait to hear back from the bank. So, the house isn't ours definitely but we are hopeful :) So everyone, keep Ur fingers crossed!<br /><br />Here's a pic of (hopefully) our future home :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM3tV8ALJn_y-SaWi9LcG0ZflVgnHzIM8RMLoIxwZd2zYdo6b_P8oJFpuyMnIf8Q4zQjkgW6w8zFXfqKLGzqf5SJ352NWeaFPyvpl-py7OLbgjwC2DdDkpNExFlHie4ARK1acpkXkRxFrI/s1600/20110107001658257932000000-o.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM3tV8ALJn_y-SaWi9LcG0ZflVgnHzIM8RMLoIxwZd2zYdo6b_P8oJFpuyMnIf8Q4zQjkgW6w8zFXfqKLGzqf5SJ352NWeaFPyvpl-py7OLbgjwC2DdDkpNExFlHie4ARK1acpkXkRxFrI/s320/20110107001658257932000000-o.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595471680481432130" /></a>Heidi Rieckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10927163391313694109noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646237414159468777.post-27511624728221126012011-04-09T19:05:00.000-07:002011-04-09T21:13:59.783-07:00Day 30A video that makes you happy.<br /><br />This is what i call 'Gabba Gabba Fever' around my house :) This is Lydia when i turn on her favorite song on Yo Gabba Gabba...

The first thing that I'd do when I'd get to her house was, run into her room to hug her and say hi. She loved family get togethers. Every Sunday, we would go to her house and play games til our bedtimes. I loved going to Disneyland with her and going on the Autopia with her and having her freak out cause i was a crazy driver :) <br />I was nervous about getting baptized and she would tell me what to expect with the whole thing and made me feel not so nervous. She passed away a few months before i got baptized but, i definitely felt her there. I felt her there in the sealing room when i got married. I felt her in the room when i had Lydia. i KNOW she has been up there with all the grand-kids and great grand-kids getting them ready to come here :) a few people that have known her have told me about having a dream about her up in heaven playing with a bunch of kids :) i feel that she specially hand-delivered Lydia here to me. And i KNOW she taking care of my other kids :)<br />We all love and miss her SO much.Heidi Rieckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10927163391313694109noreply@blogger.com0
