Jeffery Family

2 Month Appointment

2011-07-05T19:24:00.000-07:00

Before shots

After his 2 Month Shots

Not to long My little guy was super tough

he didn't cry.

One Month Old today

2011-05-21T10:20:00.000-07:00

Our little Sport is 1 Month old! I can't believe how

much things have changed. We finally decided to

take our little guy to the ENT doctor just a couple

days ago. He assumes it's probably a Bacteria and

put him on antibiotics. I hope that it clears it up.

I still feel like I'm on edge listening to him durning the

night to see if he's still breathing. He doesn't cry like

all the other babies. He kind of makes soft breathing

ways to let me know his noes is closed. Sad I returned

the BBG machine. :0( That was so useful with his little nose.

Over all besides the nose issues I LOVE MY LITTLE BUG!

He has bee the joy in our life. He finally started on this

swing my sister let me use. He seems to really like it.

So fun to watch him learn and grow. Happy Day today!

Our First Family Photos/ Newborn photos

2011-05-09T13:10:00.000-07:00

Kayden's blessing suit, He was just 2 weeks and

this suit was drowning him. Still he was super cute.

These were some of our photo's I hope you enjoyed them. :0)

Happy Mothers Day!

2011-05-08T19:07:00.000-07:00

For Mothers Day We decided to take some pictures of the

Grandkids for my mom. My son is so small that he

drowns in his clothing. Some day he will grow into them. :0)

He was wide awake, I think the sun was too bright that

he didn't want to open his eyes.

All the grandkids together. They are all so super cute!

2 Week Appointment and Circumcised

2011-05-05T16:58:00.000-07:00

Our little one had his first Appointment with the

Dr. He was so brave and has grown

My sons now 7 pounds 4 oz and 21 inches long. He was

a brave little boy today. Two week shorts and was circumcised

today. I didnt handle that too well. Cried and almost passed out. Oy!

Nothing is harder then watching your baby cry.

I never thought I could get seriously attached to something.

Especially a baby. I was like blood No big deal. Oh small

surgery "No big deal". Cry that is ok.. the pain isn't mine.

The nurse asked if Kenton wanted to go back he said yes.

My heart eminently wanted to follow. I told the nurse I wanted

to go. She was like "Are you sure you want to go back?" I said Yes!

She was like ok... but no throwing up. If you can't handle it. Step

out side.

As they were doing the procedure Kayden started to cry.

I started to tear up. I have never heard a baby cry like that.

I looked up and cleared my eyes and looked again. I soon

almost passed out. It was the hardest thing ever.

I have a greater respect for doctors that can do this.

I didn't care much about circumcision before, until

I read about all the infections, diseases, etc they could get.

I'm not downing or look bad at moms that didn't get there kids

circumcised. That is their decision and I support your decision.

I know every mom can take care of kids the way they need to.

I hope that moms don't look down on me for doing it.

I will say I'm happy with my decision yet I never knew how hard it

was going to be on me to watch it. Next time I will wait until they

are done and then comfort my little one. Sad that they couldn't

do it at the hospital. Get all the hard stuff done at the beginning.

Instead of dragging it on. Silly Dr's!

I have a love hate relationship with them.

Bobby time and time away from my baby :0(

2011-05-03T21:28:00.000-07:00

We decided to try the Bobby out for the first time.

He seemed to like it. I was needing to get a few things

done around in the room and our little sport didn't

want to be left alone so... If he was up and could

look around he was just fine. I decided to place him in

the bobby and WALA it worked. He wasn't fussing.

NICE trick. :0)

After Kenton got home he decided to run to do a

few errands. Forgetting that I still need to eat. We

then had ZERO time to prepare something. If you

realize when your pregnant or nursing and you go

to long with out eating, you will realize you get really

light headed and almost pass out. I have realized on my end.

Not sure if that's what happens to you. Kenton always mentions

"What would you like to make tonight" UGH! I can not make

anything like this... We soon decided to go to outback steak

house and dragged Kenzie along with us. Then I come

to find out this is a terrible deal on my end.

Kenton asked if mom could watch him. She said YES!

And it was over for me... :0( I didn't want to leave

my little bug. But HAD to! What a dumb deal.

If you ever have to leave your baby for the first time.

Total separation anxiety. I have never left my babies side

before. I don't even let him sleep in his own bed he sleeps

with me. Totally terrible I know! I will some how break that habit.

It was good mom doesn't mind me calling twice during the

dinner to see how my baby was. He didn't seem to miss me much

he was sleeping the whole time. Sad, but good!

In this picture is Kenzie and her heart shaped chicken. Awe so cute!

Bath and Binky time

2011-04-29T21:25:00.000-07:00

Second bath at home didn't go over too well.

He was super happy to be in mommy's arms.

He is such a good boy

I wanted to post this photo with my little boys

binky. LOL! It looks so big for his little head.

I LOVE IT!

One Week Old

2011-04-28T19:16:00.000-07:00

My baby is One week old today. It is so weird to think

that a week ago I was in the hospital. I don't want to

brag but I lost my weight so super fast. I didn't know what

to do with myself. I was so used to having a big belly and

all that water weight to going back to my semi normal size.

I think I had 5 more pounds to go... AHH! Talk about crazy fast.

Totally put me into shock. Well anyways... We celebrated

our baby with cake. Happy to no stretch marks and a happy healthy

baby boy. I think there was a lot to celebrate that day. :0)

My Baby with many Faces

2011-04-27T18:54:00.000-07:00

I never knew a newborn could have so many

faces in a split second. I really wanted to

share a few of them. I decided to get out my

camera phone and take a ton of pictures to show some off.

Our little sport was trying to wake up, yawn,

wanted food, and needing to sneeze all at the same time.

When he gets hungry he tries to eat his PJ's

Silly goose. He doesn't realize that isn't going to

feed him.

poop eye anyone? Or is this a farting face?

ha ha ha I love my little one.

After he ate I get this sweet little face. Awe... such

a little cutie. :0)

First Bath at home + Doctor visit... Sigh!

2011-04-25T00:57:00.000-07:00

Alright so little bugs first bath didn't go over so well.

He did not like the water at all. He cried the whole time.

Little bug just wanted to get out right then and there.

I felt so bad, but he really needed a bath.

Once he got out of the tub, he was much happier

to be in Grandma's arms. Nothing better then a warm

towel and being in his grandma's arms. We were so happy that

Grandma stayed a few nights with us to help us get on our feet.

Grandma is the best!

Long day leads to nap time.

On the next day April 25th We went to the doctors for a follow

up on little bugs nose. It didn't look so good. The doctor ordered

a BBG machine for him. It is a machine that cleans out his nose

with a small catheter at the tip that goes into the front of his nose.

I didn't like it at first. Never realized how I didn't like to hear

my sweet baby cry over a cleaning. Poor guy, why does he have to

go through this? Why couldn't it just be me. I wish I could take over

his pain for him. I will say, he is so much more happier when

his nose is clean and he could finally breath.

The Dr. Wants our little sport to use this machine for a

week to 2 weeks. He mentioned if it doesn't clear up

with in that time to take him to and ENT. He said that it

is probably something more serious and it should get looked

at by a specialist. He said he didn't want it to get to bad,

because if it gets to the lungs it can turn pneumonia. Which

we didn't want. So I guess we will try this thing out.

Look how gross that is. Bugers EWW...

Easter

2011-04-24T01:06:00.000-07:00

HAPPY EASTER!!!

Our little bugs first Morning being home and it's EASTER SUNDAY!

I bought this new born outfit and realized he is super small.

I should have gotten him a premie outfit. I'm sure that would have fit

better. I wasn't expecting to bring home a little, little baby he was

6'8" when we took him home. It was such a perfect day.

We had Aunt Kenzie over, Stefanie, Step dad Dan, Mom (She staid the

night and made us dinner). My husband wanted to play Monopoly

streets with Kenzie and Stefanie. It was fun to see so much joy and

happiness in the room.

My sweet little bug had a break down. He was tired and

had a long day. It was time to eat and go to Bed he says.

He wasn't the only one to have a break down. Mommy totally

had one for no reason really. I never know hormones could

get the best of you. My mom came and talked with me.

Then Kenton came later and comforted me.

Look how sweet he is. He LOVES his bed. How can you

not love this little guy?

Day 3 - Heading Home

2011-04-23T01:55:00.000-07:00

Continued story from Day 2...

(My little bug looks like a gangster. Totally wasn't the look

I was going for. I just wanted to make sure he was warm.)

The shifts changed again and I had a different doctor by 3AM.

I noticed my little boy was starting to struggle with his breathing

again and I asked the nurse if she could clean out his nose.

She said she wasn't going to do that because she said "it's

probably just inflammation and if I suction it, it would only make

it worse". I was a frustrated and asked again to have her to clean out

my babies nose and asked if she had read my babies charts and mentioned

that the dr. came and told her the full story. She slightly cleaned it

and said "Ok it's clean" She didn't touch it the rest of the

time we were there. No matter how many times I asked her.

Finally I was in tears because my baby literally couldn't breath and

He spit up and it got stuck and he started to choking on his

spit up. I started to freak out and cried even more. I finally

got him to start breathing again. I told her what happened

and she had an aditude and told me "Next time suck it out

and put him on his stomach and pat it out. He's fine that

happens" No it doesn't always happen like that!!! I've seen

a baby spit up and kind of choke. This was totally different.

She asked if we wanted to be discharged early? I told her Yes!

I wanted to get out of that dang hospital with all the

crazy nurses. We were all packed and a different pediatrician

came in. Can I say he was a little Cookie, and didn't know anything?

He came in I told him what was going on. He could obviously

hear that the sounds my baby was making wasn't normal, yet

he didn't NOTHING! He said "He sounds fine" and sent us

on our way. We got out little man in his car seat. Started

down the hall and listened to him cry and gasp for air.

The CNA would say "Awe that poor little guy, he sounds terrible."

YES Ya think so? Why wont you clean it out?

We got to the car and I ended up sitting in the back with my

baby. I started to cry on the way home and told my husband

"Our baby can't breath" He said "He's breathing" I replied "Yes,

but he struggling". We were literally 3 min. away from home and

our little man stopped breathing completely. His face went blue, purple,

his lips went gray. I started to scream and tried to open his mouth.

He wouldn't! I tried to get his seat belt off to see if I could get him to

breath. I was telling my husband "HE STOPPED BREATHING!!!".

We were then 1 min. away from home. Then his eyes rolled to the back

of his head. I got his seat belt off. We pulled into the driveway and

he gave out a HUGE cry. I told my husband "Oh good his color is

coming back, HURRY get him into the house." I took my sweet

baby and went up the stairs quickly. Had my husband RUN to the

store to buy saline. I tried to clean his nose out. I didn't get

anything out. I saw that he had thick black crusty's in his nose.

I saw a tooth pic at the end of a dental floss and started digging

at his nose. While he was struggling to breath. I got one side out

then the other side out and my little guy went completely quiet and

fell asleep. Poor little guy. He was so tired from fighting with

his breathing. I called my husband to let him know that he

was breathing and he was finally asleep.

Kenton said that he bought the saline. I was so happy my

husband was almost home. I never want to relive that experience

ever again! So glad my little bug is ok.

When we finally got things to settle down. My sister

Alysa comes walking in with a purple flower and

asked if I could hurry and make a boutonniere for

Kenzie. She had forgotten to pick up her flower from the

floral shop. I told her I could do it. I started working on

it and this is what I came up with. It looks good right?

So glad I had extra purple flowers to add to this.

I had Kenton meet up with them at Roosters where

they were eating. They look good right. Everybody say

"awe". I love my baby sister. She is amazing!

Kenton's dad came over with Donna and Andelyn over.

Grandpa loves to hold our little bug like a foot ball.

He totally loves it, falls right to sleep. Super cute!

Look how happy he is now that he got a nap AND he can

finally breath. Awe... So glad we are finally home!

We were so happy that Alysa, DJ, and Finley were

able to come down and visit with our little sport.

Finley LOVES her cousin. I think she totally wanted

to play. Hopefully someday he will LOVE to play. :0)

Thanks guys for coming over and being so supportive.

Nothings better then family.

Day 2 at the Hospital

2011-04-22T03:04:00.000-07:00

I couldn't believe I still had energy with all the lack

of sleep I had. From Not sleeping all night from

Labor pains and giving birth to a Handsome little man.

To feeding him all night long. I do really LOVE being a mom.

It finally started to settle in I am a mother now. No greater

blessing in the world. I have loved my little guy.

He is so good. He doesn't cry when he is hungry. Just a

few "ughs" here and there. Small fusses that don't sound

like fusses. It was interesting to hear all the babies

cry at night and my little guy for sure hadn't cried like that

once.

It was fun getting pictures of him in the

morning with all his facial

expressions. He is SUPER cute!

During the whole day he had been sleeping the whole time.

The day went from a perfect morning to a frustrating day to end

with a terrible night. Let me begin with this story. In the morning

it was a great way to start off any day with cues's and awe's.

I was enjoying my little family. Then my baby fell asleep. He wasn't

hungry, just because he was eating literally all night long.

The Nurse was getting mad at me and told me I was terrible

and that I was starving my baby. She put my baby in time out for

45 min. She also told me that we would have to feed him by a tub.

Just a horrible nurse. She took a sugar test on my baby to see if

it was low. Which it wasn't! She ordered a lactation nurse to

come in to see me. I was talking with the lactation nurse and

she told me I wasn't doing anything wrong and obviously

I knew how to feed my baby. She mentioned that my little

one played all night and now wants to sleep and he was just

fine. Which eased my mind. I didn't feel like a horrible mother.

When they had switched shifts and we got a new nurse I was

telling her my baby wasn't acting normal and she needed to

clean his nose and she let me know that she wasn't going to

clean out his nose, because it was probably just Inflammation.

I was kind of frustrated because it had been a full 24 hours since

he was born and why would inflammation finally be showing up

now and not 12 hours ago???

She came back into the room closer to dinner and my little

guy had already been gasping for air and his nose was

getting worse. I had her listen to him and she said

"OH MY that isn't normal." She called the pediatrician

and ordered an X-Ray and Blood tests. She took my little

one and Kenton and I fell asleep. My mom came and we

visited her for a little bit. Then I had her take Kenton out to

eat. He really needed to get out of the hospital. I ordered me

some food while they were out. My little guy came back.

I held him and didn't want to let him go. My dinner came and

I couldn't eat at all. I tried and just couldn't even think about it.

The nurse came back in (with concern) and asked if she

could take the baby to the nursery so I could eat and I told

her No, and that it was alright. I couldn't possibly part with

him, when he couldn't breath. It BROKE my heart listening

to him. She soon came in and told me that the Pediatrician

was in and wanted to take a look at him. She took him and

I think I took just a few bites of my meal and couldn't eat any

more. I sat around and waited 15 min. and wondered where

my little guy was and how he was doing.

I started to walk down the hall and I saw my hubby walking

down the hallway coming back to the room. I told him

our little sport was in the nursery with the pediatrician.

He went with me and we saw the doctor and the nurse talking

and they didn't have happy faces.

It looked like they were more concerned.

The doctor started to come out to find us, and saw us in the

hall way and asked if we were the parents, then continued

to tell us what was wrong. He mentioned that he found

a lot of black stuff in his nose. Our Dr. said that he thought

it was Meconium (which is where a baby has a bowel movement

before it is born). But it probably wasn't, just because it

wasn't in the charts. The Dr. then didn't know what it was.

He mentioned that the nurse will have to clean his nose out

frequently and we will have to do this for the next 2 to 3 days.

He was happy that the hospital called him, he didn't think

our sweet baby would have made it through the night, if they

didn't deep clean it out that night.

The nurse came into our room and apologized for not

acting sooner and mentioned that it's usually just inflammation

and it sounded like just inflammation. I accepted her apology and

I was just happy that we caught it when we did. She was defiantly

super nice to me for the rest of her shift. I think she was a little

scared that I would sue her.

The shifts changed again and I had a different nurse by 3AM.

I noticed my little boy was starting to struggle with his breathing

again and I asked the nurse if she could clean out his nose.

She said she wasn't going to do that because "it's

probably just inflammation and if I suction it, it would only make

it worse". I was frustrated and asked again to have her to clean out

my babies nose and asked if she had read my babies charts and mentioned

that the dr. came and told her the full story. She slightly cleaned it

and said "Ok it's clean" She didn't touch it the rest of the

time we were there. No matter how many times I asked her.

Finally I was in tears because my baby literally couldn't breath and

He spit up and it got stuck in his throat

and he started to choking on his

spit up. I started to freak out and cried even more. I finally

got him to start breathing again. I told her what happened

and she had an attitude and told me "Next time suck it out

and put him on his stomach and pat it out. He's fine that

happens" No it doesn't always happen like that!!! I've seen

a baby spit up and kind of choke. This was totally different.

She asked if we wanted to be discharged early? I told her Yes!

I wanted to get out of that dang hospital with all the

crazy nurses. We were all packed and a different pediatrician

First Night with our little man

2011-04-21T23:55:00.000-07:00

Look at this sweet little guy. I can not believe he

is finally here. I am truly blessed to have such a

handsome, sweet, adorable, calm, perfect little boy.

I can tell you that there is no greater joy, then to

see a little baby that you brought to this world.

It made my family feel complete. I always felt something

was missing in my life. It was my husband that filled it with

so much love, but it was a baby that completed it.

five fingers and five toes. He already loves his daddy.

This picture makes me want to cry every time.

Kenton's little boy looks so much like him. It's crazy!

My husband is such a happy daddy. He LOVES his son

more then words can say. The way he looks at him, the

way he talks with him. It's like they are already Best Friends.

I couldn't have asked for a better husband. He stuck by my side

through and through and didn't leave my side once. We were both

super tired from being up for 48 hours, yet this little guy

made it so we didn't really want to sleep just yet. I felt like

I was going to miss him, if I fell asleep. I really didn't want to though.

This baby gave me a power boost. All I wanted to do was have

more family time, more memories. I know I will never forget this

blessed day.

By the end of the day. We all had fun visiting with family and

friends. We are turly blessed to have such wonderful people

in our lives. Especially the love that they already give to our

sweet little boy. They have just met him and you can tell

they already have so much love for him.

By the end of the night, both of my boys were so tired they

finally fell asleep. All I could do was look in awe! I am truly

blessed to have such great guys in my life. I LOVE YOU TWO!

Birth Day!!! Hurray!

2011-04-21T16:03:00.000-07:00

My son was born at 3:17PM April 21, 2011

6 Pounds 15 oz 19.5 Inches long.

When our little guy was born I was so afraid that he

wasn't alive. Because he wasn't crying. I soon asked

"Is he alive???" The nurse replied "Yes!" I was so happy

to know that he was ok. It was so weird to think that he

was finally here. I was falling asleep between every contraction.

I was in labor for only 45 Min. with only 10 contractions.

The doctor and the nurses were surprised that I wasn't in labor

very long. So nice to know that it was such an easy labor.

Before you know it my son was in my arms.

I loved that Kenton got to cut the umbilical cord.

Our little one came into this world. He was so calm and alert.

The only noise I heard from him, was a delayed short cry

after they gave him his shots. He came back to my arms and

all I could do was smile. I have never felt so much happiness,

so much joy! This couldn't have been a better day to have

our son come into this world.

He was a fast learner when it came to breastfeeding and

when the nurse gave him to Kenton so I could get cleaned up.

He quickly found his thumb. It was the cutest thing ever.

My son didn't like bath time. I was wanting Kenton to

give him a bath and the nurse did the bath for him, she just

showed him and didn't teach him hands on.

I never realized how much hair my son had until she got

done with his bath and brushed his hair up. I never

thought my son would look as handsome as he is.

My imagination couldn't imagine such beauty.

I know our family just loved our little man.

Mom mentioned that he had a really strong neck.

She had never seen a baby more alert with a

strong neck and legs. Everyone was wondering

when I was pregnant

why I was complaining that he had a strong kick.

It was definitely a different experience. I would

do it again.

Labor and Delivery Story

2011-04-21T15:55:00.000-07:00

What a night! Here is my birth story. It's kind of crazy!

On the 20th I hit that "Nesting stage" I literally deep cleaned

my whole house. I don't know what got into me, but I didn't

want to stop. I vacuumed, moped, laundry, ironed, scrubbed down

both bathrooms, cleaned all the rooms, dusted, deep cleaned the

kitchen and even inside the microwave. It was awesome to see my

house super clean! Kenton came home and I was still on the go.

Soon I started to get contractions and ignored them. I was trying

to see if it was just false labor pains. The contractions didn't want

to go away. My hubby was painting the closest and I told him

we might be going to the hospital tonight. He said "OK" and kept

painting. I packed the bags and got them all ready. Kenton was

super excited. By One AM we went to the doctors. I told him

"I hope this isn't a false alarm and I don't have to go home again"

I got all dressed and she said that I was dilated to a 2 1/2 < which

by my doctor that's a 3 1/2 lol! She mentioned I was contracting, yet

it wasn't super contractions as she would like to see. She called

our OB and he said "Let's keep her and get her started, I hate to

turn mothers away on there due dates". So we got the party started.

They gave me an IV and started me on pitocin. Which helps you dilate.

I was so tired, yet wide awake. It is so hard to fall asleep when

you are contracting. It's never fun! The nurse took us to a labor

room. Which was nice to be in a bigger room. Our doctor stopped

by at 3 am to say Hello and that he was going to be back to

break my water at 5am. I was good with that. Our OB looked so

tired. She mentioned that after he had his cardio and his

caffeine he is super happy and ready to go for the day.

She was right. He was happier and more awake after that.

The doctor came in about 5 am and broke my water. The nurse

came in and told us to get some sleep before the fun starts.

Kenton quickly fell asleep. While I was wide awake. I swear those

contractions just got worse after he broke that water.

I was trying to breath through them. Wasn't helping all that much.

I sat and listened to the rain outside and watching the lightning.

It reminded me of Saturday's Warrior for some reason. Probably

because at the very end of that show there was a thunderstorm

and the baby was born. lol! I know I'm weird.

The nurse came in at 6AM and asked me if I would like the epidural now,

because the anesthesiologist would be in a C-section at 7AM and

I wouldn't be able to get it till 8AM. I was tolerating the pain to a point.

I told her I was going to wait it out. I asked her to ask me again

15 minutes closer to the hour. She did, I was almost in tears freaking

out from the pain. 45 minute was long enough to deal with such pain.

It didn't help not having the support by my husband by my side.

He was dead asleep. Which he should be.

I woke Kenton up and asked if it would be alright if I got the

epidural. He was wondering why I woke him up, just to ask

a silly question like that. I told him "I need you to hold my

hand, when they give it to me". The anesthesiologist came

in and was super chipped and filled with jokes.

He told me he was a back stabber. I'm sure he thinks

his jokes never get old. I held the nurses hand and Kenton's

hand in my right hand. The Anesthesiologist gave a poke.

I breathed through it and was fine the rest of the time. Before

you know it I'm feeling all tingly like my feet were falling

asleep, when in reality they really where. ha ha ha!

The nurse came in and asked if I would get some rest. I tried

to sleep. Every time I would go to that deep sleep phase.

I would quickly wake up. I felt like I was falling every single time.

It was so hard to not feel like I was falling. My legs felt like stone.

I couldn't get up and move around. I had to have my hubby help

position me. I do not have upper body strength. Terrible I know!

The nurse put me on an oxygen mask, because the babies heart rate

was low. She mentioned that the umbilical cord was probably

kinked or stretched.

Around 9 to 10AM the nurse came in and mentioned I could have

this baby by Noon. She said there was another girl in the room

next door that was neck to neck. The nurse said "it's a race

to see who gets there first". She came in at Noon and said I was

a 9 1/2. I don't think she had me push until the other girl in

labor was done having her baby lol! She came in again at 2PM

and had me push. I was so tired and so out of it. I couldn't exactly

concentrate. The epidural made me so itchy. I was scratching my

nose and scratching my arms. I think I looked just like Rudolf the

red nose reindeer by the time I had to push.

39 Weeks and Baby crib!

2011-04-14T00:09:00.000-07:00

39 Weeks, almost to 40 Weeks Pregnant. Only a week!

Holy Cow! I can not believe my little one will be here

any day now. This has got to be one of the hardest weeks for

me. I have had contractions and false alarms. My Hiatal Hernia

is having a great time bugging me. I feel like sometimes I can't

breath. It's so bad when you feel like you have no energy.

You feel like you're about to pop. Also you're tired all over again.

It's one of those weeks you wish would hurry up and be over with.

I keep telling myself. It's all for a good cause. My son will

be here and all will be well. It's so crazy to think still

that I only have one more week. I was also thinking

I'm going to be a mom. I think reality has finally hit me.

I can't wait till my little bug is here. You really can't cuddle

with your stomach, that would be just weird!

I've been busy working on this crib set for awhile now.

I made the bed skirt, sheets, bumper pad, and the music mobile.

It's turning out so CUTE! I was kind of worried that it wouldn't be as

cute as it is. :0) I believe my little one will love it.

I made the inside with a minky material. It's turning

out so cute. I love how soft it is. I am almost finished with

all of this bumper pad. I have just the ends to finish.

I ran out of material and I've been waiting for the

fabric store to get more in. Hopefully I wont have to wait too much

longer. :0)

I'm feeling the pregnancy pain!

2011-04-12T15:32:00.000-07:00

This picture is super funny! I was so feeling

the pain on the 9th. I was in so much pain I swear

I was in labor. I kept my husband up with me all night

while I was having contractions. I knew I wasn't in labor.

Just because it wasn't consistent. Just super bad pains. That

felt like I was going to die.

I was so sick the day of my anniversary. It was not fair

at all. My husband was super tired the next day. I had

a plan to do something special that day, but that never

ended up happening either.

We went and saw our OB on the 12th. He was saying that

the babies head dropped. No wonder why I have been

walking so funny. lol! He mentioned that this baby

can come now. He said he could give me something

to hurry along the dialations go in the next day and

have the baby on the 13th. HOLY CRAP! I was not prepared

for that. There is so much that needs to be done on the

house and I still had laundry to fold and things to clean.

I am not ready. I totally chickened out. Plus the word

"Induce" Scares me to death. I don't want to be induced,

Then later find out my body really wasn't ready, then have

to get a C-section. I've heard that story so many times. I would

just rather stay away from that area.

I Know my doctor is great! Yet I don't want to be induced.

Please give me some answers. I don't know what to do at this

point. We have to seriously get this house going and on the

right track. Maybe it is nesting. Maybe I need things to be

in order. How can you put something in order when your

house is being painted. UGH! Someone help my husband and

help him get this finished, so I can be more at peace.

I would hate for people to come over to see Kayden and

see my house like this. It's embarrassing. It isn't to Kenton

because he is a guy and things like that don't bug him.

I knew we should have been painting MONTHS ago. But we

decided to wait until the last second to get this done. It's been

going so SLOWLY and I feel helpless. I have no energy. No

motivation. I feel like a big blob that is ready to pop!

I don't sleep well. This is going to be a mess. HELP HELP HELP!

Is all I can say... Where does the automatic energy cleaning boost

come in. I would love it, if that kicked in today. lol!

Call my hubby. He would love the help in the painting department.

Hopefully this baby doesn't come this weekend. I'm FREAKING OUT!

Two Baby Showers

2011-04-09T20:04:00.000-07:00

On the 31st of March. Kenton and I decided that we wanted

a friend/ ward Baby shower. I couldn't invite everyone to the

family shower. It would have been way to crowded. I decided

to buy some cupcakes and put them together. They turned out

very nicely if you ask me. They matched the colors of the

baby shower decorations. :0)

I have decided this was the last time I make the Non-gluten

free cupcakes in my house. I was having such a hard time

breathing. It totally sucked! I'm sure I will figure something

out so it will be a win win for everyone. I do have to say

that the gluten free cup cake mix costs $4 a box. When the

regular kind cost .98 cents. Something is seriously wrong

with this picture. I wish gluten free was cheaper!

At my sisters house we stuck with the basics. Fruit

Veggies and cupcakes. lol! I'm in love with Organic foods.

But the decorations turned out super cute!

I didn't show pictures of everyone, I don't think my iPhone

takes the best pictures. I'll have to get those pictures from

my sister. She had her camera. Mine died and I forgot

to check the battery life before I came. I'm really sorry for the

crazy pictures.

This was my 37 week mark of being Pregnant. I am sporting

the round look. lol! I'm so happy for all the friends, ward members,

and neighbors that came to support our little man. It was

also good to see who traveled to far to come support this

little guy. Makes me so happy to have a great support system.

I love all my friends!

On April 9th we had the family party. What a joyful day it was.

Crazy that it snowed and these balloons didn't stay high for very long.

It is crazy to think a year ago I was decorating for my wedding

dinner. Then today I'm decorating for this baby shower.

I'm just happy it didn't snow like this for the wedding. lol!

Never in a million years would I think on that wedding dinner...

Hey in a year I'm going to be having a baby. lol! It wasn't

even on my mind. But I love that it is now. :0)

My sister Alysa had this adorable cake made. She felt bad

that the colors weren't right with the decorations, but I thought

it looked adorable!

I had taken the time to work with JJ to get these candy bar

covers for thank you gifts. I also had Adam help with the final

project. He was a great help last second, since JJ couldn't finish it.

There were too many pictures to show from this day. This house

Was Packed with loved ones. :0) I was so shocked to see how

many gifts were in the room. I was trying not to cry. I was for

sure feeling very pregnant and I was so ready to get this over with.

I didn't know that opening gifts would get me so tired. I really

needed a nap! ha ha ha! Being 38 Weeks pregnant is just crazy!

Can't believe 2 more weeks and the baby will be here.

I wanted to thank all my sisters and my mom for putting

together a WONDERFUL baby shower. I'm sorry I wasn't more

helpful. lol! I also want to thank all my friends and family who

came to the shower. I am so happy that they all came. We played

some really fun games. My sister even made us eat baby food

to guess what kind it was. I will tell you, I suck at that game.

I don't think I know my veggies and fruit very well. Oh well!

I'm sure I will when Kayden starts eating more of that baby food. :0)

Now who wants to help putting my nursery together and help me

clean my house? lol!

Anniversary Dinner

2011-04-08T23:26:00.000-07:00

We decided to have our Anniversary dinner a

little early. Seeing that the baby shower was on Saturday

and we couldn't really go out on Sunday. I'm so glad that

we did. We went to Roosters and had a good meal.

Kenton surprised me with this beautiful 14K Neckless.

It even has 6 real diamonds in it. I was super shocked that

he got it. I felt super spoiled and didn't know how to react.

Kenton then tells me that it was ok if I go get my nails done.

I went and got them done. Got a little frustrated with

the guy who was doing my nails, just because he

wanted to do a certain style and I finally gave up and let

him do what he wanted to do with them. lol! I got home

and Kenton was supposed to be taking a nap. All the

lights were off. I crawled into bed with him to

tell him about my nails and then he wanted me to

get my phone from the bathroom. I wanted him to

grab it and he literally pushed me out of the bed to

go and get it. I was wondering why he was being so

funny and acting differently.

I walked into the bathroom and I saw this beautiful

ring sitting in a box on top of my phone on the sink.

I smiled really big and didn't know how to react.

Just because Kenton kept telling me over and over

and over that we couldn't afford it, because the baby

was on it way.

Inside story on the ring. Ok... So before the engagement

Kenton and I decided on a price range of what kind of ring we

could get. I walked in and saw one I REALLY loved! But

when we checked the credit. Kenton had a house and his car on

his credit. They ended up making a deal with us. That we could get

a temporary ring for now. Then once the one

ring was payed off in full then we could come in and trade up for

the other ring. I was super happy, just because the wedding

was 7 Months away. That gave Kenton plenty of time to do that.

Kenton mentioned that I could get the ring 3 months before the

wedding. I was counting down the days. Then once it came up.

Kenton had so many other things that came up, he didn't have

the money to pay it off. He said "I will get you the ring on our

one year anniversary". I was totally bummed that we didn't have

the ring for the wedding. Just because I hated the other one. Ha

Ha ha! I should have picked better.

Well later we checked the rings Just a few months back around

Valentines day, and they didn't have the

one I really wanted anymore on stock, just because it was

a Specialty ring that was only there for a while. They said they

could do a special order, but she didn't know how long it would

take till it came it. I look over in the ring box and saw this one.

I pointed at it and told Kenton this ring was the same price

and looked so much prettier and if he wanted he could get

that one for me.

He came up to me just a month before and told me that

we probably couldn't afford the ring, because baby was on the

way and he didn't think our finances would cover it, and we

might have to wait a year or two. I didn't say much about it

and agreed that baby was important. Even though I would

have to stick with that silly ugly ring. I was ok with it.

Then he tosses this curve ball and gets it. I was like "I thought

we couldn't afford it?" His reply with a huge smile was

"Don't worry about it". He had this planned all along that

little stinker and I thought he couldn't keep a secret. Instead

he pulls my leg. I guess he payed most of it off with some of

our tax returns. Can I just say "I LOVE TAX RETURNS" Happiest

girl on the block.

Here is my 38 week mark belly shot. Feeling

the bloating! Oy! baby can you get any bigger? lol!

He is now around 7 Pounds. CRAZY!

Honey I am so happy we had such a great anniversary

dinner and day. I love you more then anything else in

this world. I'm one lucky girl. :0)

False Labor Pains

2011-04-05T00:41:00.000-07:00

I Never thought I would say this... I had a False labor pains.

I was in so much pain on the 3rd. Then had another pain with

contractions coming every five minutes on the 4th of April.

They were slowly getting worse. I was not prepared for this day.

My hubby was finishing painting then decided he needed to

get more ready. I was trying to get a bag ready. While breathing

through these contractions. Kenton was calmer then me.

I was telling Kenton it was too early for me. Because of my

silly reasons. The guest room, babies room, and living room still

wasn't completed being painted and all. I was so frustrated!!! I still

had one more baby shower and felt not prepared to go into labor.

Yet while we were driving to the hospital. Kenton started this silly

English accent and I believe he was trying to lighten the mood. Plus,

I think he was just super excited, If he son were to come that

night. I started to laugh and became okay with knowing if he

came tonight I wouldn't worry so much. I have a great supporting

husband that just makes me laugh. Especially when I don't

want him to make me laugh. It's so good to have that in the home.

We got to the hospital and my stomach wasn't as bad with the

contractions. I was super surprised they were kind of going

away. I wish it would have done that at home. When I was

trying to calm it down by taking a warm bath (that didn't work).

We talked with the nurse and got everything about me in

the computer system. Hopefully we wont have to do the 100

questions next time we go in. She had me lay on my side

and hooked me up. She mentioned that I'm probably dilated

to a One. Which doesn't make since, because my doctor

has been saying I'm dilated to a two. Hum... Confused!

the nurse said "I have smaller fingers and your doctor has

bigger fingers, so everyone tells the dilations differently.

Wouldn't that all be the same??? Not different, just because

of your fingers. I'll have to talk with my doctor about that

on the eight, when we go in to see him. The nurse wasn't

concerned about the labor pains. Gave me some suggestions for

next time. Like drinking a full glass of water. Taking a warm bath.

Trying to lay down and relax. (Maybe like Meditation. lol)

She said if they just get worse then to come in and to not feel

stupid about coming in, just because it's better to be safe then

sorry.

I totally felt silly. I keep wondering if I should just wait until my

water breaks next time or I'm in so much pain I can't even walk

to the door. lol! I don't know what I'm going to do next time.

All I know was tonight was totally silly and Even though I had

a lot of questions answered and I have my bags packed now.

I feel more prepared. I did also realize what needs to really

get done before even a week from now. Hopefully the house

will be more painted and projects will get more done, so that

I can start getting my house back into order. I would LOVE that!

Everyone needs to know that I'm ok now. The nurse gave me

a sleeping pill and I've been taking it easy. Which is wonderful!

Sleep is good, Sleep is great, sleep is what I need to be doing now.

Good night wonderful world.

Second Baby Shower

2011-04-01T00:33:00.000-07:00

The cute little "Kayden" sign Aubrey put together. Isn't it ADORABLE?

Second Baby shower. This was a lot of fun! I look like

one big balloon. lol! My belly is getting so big. It's fun to

see how much it changes in just a week.

This shower was something I put together. Seeing that

I couldn't invite all my friends to the family shower.

I knew we would be packed with People if I did that.

I have gained a lot of friends and even my new ward friends.

Neighbors are just a joy to have as well. I didn't think if

I invited a lot of people to the shower on a Thursday that I would

have a lot of people cancel. I feel really bad! Just because I

love having girl parties. Yet A lot of people did show up

that I didn't expect. I was so happy and very grateful to have

so many friends there. So many people care and love my

little one and he isn't even born yet. I LOVE it!

I ended up making some cupcakes for the shower. You'd

never guess that the blue ones were gluten free, unless I

told ya! They were very yummy! I LOVED them very much.

I was so happy that this adorable baby shower set was

going on Clearance. It was one I've had my eye on

for awhile now. At least I didn't have to pay full price for all

of the decorations. I would've posted the pictures of the decorations

Aubrey put up, but my camera died last second and we

had to take all of these pictures with our iPhones and

it didn't turn out very well. They were all kind of blurry.

I apologize for that.

I need to thank all my Neighbors that showed up and

to all those who came and supported little Kayden.

I love all my ward members that came. Even my friends

that traveled a long way to come! I was so happy to see

everyone. I wish I got a picture with everyone.

I wish my camera was working. You all don't know

what it meant to have your company, love, and support

to our little guy.

HUGS!

34 Weeks 1 Day Video

2011-03-28T01:07:00.000-07:00

I thought I would share this cute little video of

our little guy. This is probably going to be the last

4D video we will get. Just because he started to

move down the birth canal and it gets harder to

see his face. I'm glad our doctor got some cute

photo's of our little sport before he comes. :0)

OB appointment 36 Weeks and 1 Day

2011-03-25T22:22:00.000-07:00

We ended up going to the doctor and he

checked my cervix today. I was happy that

he did, because I was in so much pain on Wednesday

at the wedding reception. Come to find out I was

dilating. Who would have thought it was going to

hurt so much. Our doctor said I'm dilated to a 2 now.

I'm 75% Thinned. Only 25% more to go. Our

doctor thinks the baby might come a week

or a week in a half early. Just as long as

the baby doesn't come until after all the baby

showers. Ha Ha Ha!

Our little man is now 6 Pounds 12 oz.

I can't believe 2 weeks have gone by and

he has gained 1 pound and 12 oz. HOLY COW!

He thinks the baby might be 7 1/2 pounds or 7 3/4

pounds when he is born. He will be one BIG baby!

I guess we will soon find

out. I was hoping that he was going to be a small

baby lol! Kenton wants the baby to be born on

April 16th. Just because his birthday is 10/10

which= 20 Mine is 2/18 which= 20. So if the

baby was born 4/16 it will = 20. lol! Silly

Kenton. He loves his numbers.

I look forward to another week to see our

doctor again. I can't wait to meet my little

sport. Looks like he might be coming a little

earlier then expected. :0)

Stefanies's Wedding dinner and Wedding 36 Weeks Prego!

2011-03-24T21:17:00.000-07:00

March 22nd 2011

My Step sister Stefanie is getting married! It was so fun

to be involved in their wedding this week. Even though I'm

starting to look like a big balloon. It was enjoyable!

Stef and Brenton have been dating for 2 years or 3 years now.

I was happy they finally decided to tie the knot. Kenton actually

hooked these two love birds up in the first place. He said they went

to a party. Kenton and Brenton were roommates at the time.

Kenton went to bed and before you know it they hooked up.

March 23rd 2011

The day of the wedding. Kenton took the first part of the

day off work to come and enjoy the wedding. I got all dolled up

in my dress. I was looking forward to having a fun wedding day!

My cute little nieces are just a joy to have around. The two little

girls on the end are wearing the dresses I had made for them for

my wedding. I can't believe it's been a year and they can still fit into

them. Super cute if you ask me. I Love my little nieces!

My Sister Alysa and her little family all ready for the wedding

Mckenzie, Mom, and Dan ready for the wedding to start.

(I just realized I didn't get a photo of Aubrey's little family) :0(

Sorry Aubs!

Stef and her daddy walking down the isle.

Look how beautiful the bride is.

The beautiful Flowers! I love it!

I feel bad that I didn't get any pictures of the wedding

reception. I was getting super sick with Braxton hicks

Contractions right when the wedding reception started.

I was glad that I was able to help some in the kitchen

before the reception started. I cut 4 pineapples and then

that's when it all started to go down hill. I was about

to pass out a few times on the chair. The pain was so

bad I had to run home. I ended up crying myself to sleep.

I slept for a good hour. Woke up and was still in pain.

I couldn't stand for very long without it hurting.

Finally made myself something to eat. Kenton tried

to go back to the reception and record some. That way

I could still enjoy some good memories. Yet, He didn't

make it on time. He got there when they were having

their first dance. Kenton came

home from the reception and then went to go play

Basketball. I couldn't believe that he left his wife

that was in pain. Oh well! I'm sure he had fun.

Plus he got his exercise.

March 24th 2011

I am glad to announce that I'm feeling better today.

I got plenty of sleep and some. I felt like I waisted the

day away getting rest. I didn't get up much due

to pains still coming every so often. I hate that my hips

hurt as bad as they do. I'm now officially 36 Weeks

Prego today. Crazy to think that we now have only 4 more

weeks to go. If the baby comes on time. If he comes early

then we might have a little one here before we know it.

I guess I better get started on finishing up his room.

That would be a great idea.

Congratulations to Stef and Brenton on their beautiful

Wedding day. I wish you guys a life full of happiness and

LOVE!

35 Weeks and 2 Days Pregnant!

2011-03-19T22:10:00.000-07:00

On Friday Dad and Ann came over and had dinner with us, after

they went and saw Aubrey talk at the stake center.

I was watching Aubrey's little girls and her baby girl wanted

to sit on grandpas lap. She wanted some olives. I thought it was

so cute, because she placed all of the olives on her fingers.

She is super cute while wearing those cute Pink sunglasses.

Her favorite color is pink. I love her! I'm so glad that she

keeps us entertained. :0)

35 Weeks and 2 Days Pregnant!

My lovely little baby bump pictures taken on

March 19th.

This week I went and saw my cousin Joyce for her baby

shower, she is just a five days behind me on my pregnancy.

We are about the same size. I loved seeing her and her

cute little baby belly this week. I have a picture

of us, but I didn't want to post it. Just because we are

showing our bare belly's. I feel like that is more of a private

picture is you ask me. :0) Ha Ha! You can't see the picture.

My first Baby shower on March 19th 2011. Kenton's mom

and sisters tossed me a baby shower. It was so much fun!

This Diaper Cake my mother in law made me. It is super cute!

For one of the games my family decided to guess

the measurements around my belly. They

all took some sting and guessed to see how big it was.

Majority of them were way too long. hee hee hee! Only

one aunt had her string smaller then what it was.

I felt happy that she thought I was so skinny. lol!

It was so much fun. My aunt Julia won. :0)

My mommy got our little sport this cute little suit.

Isn't it ADORABLE??? I LOVE it! I guess mom was

talking to Aubrey about how I was going to be

making ties for my baby.

I was wondering why she was brought it up

and ended the conversation about it. lol!

It's because she bought our little one a suit and

she couldn't tell me. I love you mom! I LOVE this little suit.

My Grandma Buchanan made me this cute little baby blanket.

She used the rest of the material from my wedding

blanket. It's Super CUTE! Grandma was a worried because

she said it probable wasn't good for a baby boy. She thought

it looked a little girly. I think it will work well for all

my kids. This was a perfect gift. :0)

I love this baby blessing blanket. :0)

Our little boy was spoiled with clothing,

Blankets, bottles and more.

Kenton came at the end of the baby shower. I love

this man! He is so good to me.

Kenton wanted a silly picture. He had us look at the

telephone while this picture was taken. He is so funny!

I had to post this pictures to have everyone

enjoy the humor. :0)

Thanks to everyone who came to my baby shower.

I had such a great time with all of you. I love

your sweet wishes for our little one.

There is nothing better then having family near by.

We are truly blessed to have so many people in our lives

who care about our little boy. :0)

Pregnancy photo shoot at Union Station

2011-03-12T02:25:00.000-08:00

This was a good day. Kenton had his best friend

take some nice pictures of us. This way we were

able to get some fun pregnancy shots, before I blow up.

lol! jk! It's so weird to think we will have a baby here

in probably a month!!! CRAZY!

I ended up editing these photos, so hopefully they don't

look to bad. I hope you enjoy them. Oh Kenton picked out

my shirt that I'm wearing. Only down fall... I didn't

have anything else to match it with except for this

outfit... lol! I do apologize if I look a little out of it.

I forgot my allergy medication. oh well~ It's life

34 Weeks and 1 Day Pregnant

2011-03-11T21:00:00.000-08:00

What a busy week. I've been trying to get invitations

ready for the baby shower. I feel like it's getting somewhere.

I finished editing them with JJ. I must say they look pretty cute!

If you get one I'm sure you'll love them just as much as I did.

They were definitely worth the time spent on them.

I have noticed that "nesting" has totally been kicking in. I went

and deep cleaned all my carpets. I never thought that when they

said you'd hit a nesting stage, that I would go to that extreme.

Our carpets are only a 2 years old. You would think I wouldn't

care all that much about them. Also I have been deep cleaning my

house in other areas. I even cleaned the dog cage as well as the dog.

I've noticed that feeling "Prepared" is of importance.

Kenton has been helping me in that area. I think I might pick

up a changing table soon. I'm sure that might help some more.

I have been working on my crib bedding for the baby. I have

finally finished the bed sheets. It took me a lot longer to finish

just because I miss placed the instructions. I had no idea where

I put them. All I knew was they were somewhere in the house.

Talk about a pregnant women's mind. I'm loosing my marbles. lol!

I must say the bed sheets do look pretty amazing.

I almost want to make one more for a backup, just in case

one becomes very messy and it needs cleaned. I have loved

sewing for this little one.

Look at our sweet little one. Isn't he a stud? I'm so excited

that we have such a great OB again. Since our other doctor

Retired. We were seeing his replacement. I couldn't stand

him as much as I mentioned before. I had one huge anxiety

attack and Kenton and I agreed that we should change

doctors and I'm SO GLAD we did it! Not to mention this

new doctor is super nice and super friendly. It's always

good to have a knowledgeable doctor that takes the fear out

of labor and delivery off your shoulders. Knowing that my

life is in a good doctors hands. :0)

During our OB appointment. Our doctor looked at the monitor

then looked at Kenton, looked at the monitor again and looked

at Kenton and said "He looks like his daddy!". I was like really? You

can tell by looking at the baby already? I was just excited

to see his face. I know that put a huge smile on Kenton's face.

I have also been excited because we finally picked out a middle name

for our little guy, but I'm not going to disclose it until he is

born. I don't know why I didn't think of it before. Makes me

feel all happy inside, whenever I say the name all together.

You'll like it, just wait and see. :0) Love you all! Take care.

33 Weeks and 3 Days!

2011-03-06T22:44:00.000-08:00

Wow does time fly by when you're having fun!

Just to update all of you what's been going on this week.

I have made a decision to change OBs this week. Call me crazy!

I woke up on Saturday 26th of Feb. with a big Anxiety attack.

I haven't felt very comfortable with this doctor since day one.

I felt like the second time would be better. It wasn't. I cried and

cried. He was very friendly and super smart. Just not for me.

I don't know why but he reminded me of Robin Williams when he

played an OB on that movie Nine Months. Not saying he was that

bad, but for some reason when him acting a little jittery around the

new equipment, made me miss our first OB very much.

I wish he didn't retire. I was happy to have changed our OB

on the 28th of Feb. to Dr. Beier.

If you can tell in these pictures I have my hair

done. Kenton let me go get it cut and highlighted on the

3rd of March. My color was dead and my ends were

VERY dead! It was getting so bad that once I went to

see the hair stylist she mentioned that we would have to

take an inch in a half. OY! I didn't want to hear that. I LOVE

my length of my hair before, but to get it at a health state, we

stuck with cutting it off. The lady I went to is the same hair

stylist that my mom uses. She is super nice. I loved getting to know

her. Plus her mom was over getting her hair done and her mom

was just as nice. I will for sure use her again. She was cheep,

considering what I usually would spend on my hair when and if

I ever had it done.

Things in my 33 Week of pregnancy. You gotta love the bloating.

Gas, fatigue, emotions, tiredness, insomnia. I haven't

been able to work on my sewing because of feeling

uncomfortable or those crazy Braxton hicks. Someone

should make a pill to help those. lol! Our little sport

has been getting some chunky thighs. I know that for a fact.

It's so fun to watch him move. I'm glad most of his movements

moved to 9pm instead of his late midnight karate nights. lol!

I'm so glad that I have an amazing Hubby that supports my crazy

apatite. BBQ chicken, deviled eggs, potato boats,

corn on the cob (with basel butter), peanut butter,

bagels with strawberry cream cheese, fruity pebbles cereal,

Strawberries and raspberries. Just to name a few.

Boy do have a appatite and it never wants to end.

Can someone please pass the movie theater popcorn. lol!

Talking about Movie theater popcorn. My hubby finally

talked me into going to see Tron Legacy. Ok! I had a hard

time trying to figure out what everything was. When I finally

started to understand the movie. It had one stupid ending.

If you've seen it... Why in the world does the father die???

It was so dramatic. I think in guy movies the best thing

is HOT girls and something to blow up. So dramatic!

It doesn't help when the girls look so stinking skinny,

and I have to keep telling myself "I'm pregnant".

So weird to be in this position. Weird when your normal

everyday clothing doesn't fit you anymore. Very weird

when your belly moves when your so caught up with

something you forget your pregnant till the baby moves.

It's a neat experience.

32 Weeks and 1 Day Pregnant

2011-02-25T23:49:00.000-08:00

OY! What a week it has been. I have been nothing

but sick sick and SICK! "If it isn't one thing, It's another"

as my dad used to always say. I'm now going to be saying it.

Because it's SO true. This child has finally reached my

diaphragm and is making it harder for me to breath and eat.

I get so hungry in the morning, I eat. Then I'm super sick, dizzy

and can't bear to stay awake anymore. Then I wake up four hours

later and this child is hungry again. So what do I do? Feed it of

course. Then I'm sick again feeling dizzy and nauseous and then

I just can't stay awake, then I'm down for the count... 3 to 4 hour

NAP! Waking up from that really doesn't make you feel any better.

I believe this is what they

call a high acid issue. lol! I just wish that I could eat and not

get to sick and be out for hours on end. I don't think I have

gotten much done this week. Besides Cleaning my house on Thursday.

Besides that... Nothing much!

I'm glad I've kind of gotten over feeling bloated. My birthday

wasn't the best feeling... I was not getting rid of being a "big balloon".

Things are slowly getting better.

I'm also dealing with the

acne problem all over again. I thought I was out of this

"teen stage" lol! It brings me back to the days when I

would have a major break out and feel embarrassed and hide

behind my make up. lol! I'm sure all these hormones are just

not helping one little bit. Silly pregnancy Daisia needs

to look pretty. :0)

To the bright side of things, our little man has

been getting bigger and bigger. To the point where

he shows us whose the boss. I thought this was funny.

Kenton was listening to my belly and he was making a comment

that he couldn't hear our little boy's heartbeat and

all he could hear was a bunch of water in my stomach.

All of a sudden our boy kicked Kenton in the

face. It was pretty funny!

Dont' worry, It wasn't This dramatic. Our little guy doesn't

Kick that hard. lol! This was a funny comic.

Continuing good news our baby is now as heavy

as a big Jicama (Which makes me kind of crave one,

now that I'm talking about it). Our baby is about 3.75 pounds

now. Which I totally believe. I've read he is probably roughly 16.7 inch

long about now. For the next 7 Weeks he will be packing on the

baby fat. I was shocked to hear that I could be gaining

a pound a week. HOLY COW! Is this where the stretch marks

come into play??? lol! Our little man now has fingernail, toenails,

and even real hair now. The digestive system has finally finished

developing. So much has happened in such a short amount of time.

These past few weeks have been an adventure for Kenton and I

at the Dollar Theater. I think we have been trying to help them

out financially by giving them a lot of our money. lol!

These past few weeks we've seen "Harry Potter and the Deathly

Hallows", "How do you know", "Mega Mind", "Morning Glory".

The other ones we've seen the weeks before that was "Life as

we know it", and "You again". Kenton has been trying to talk

me into going to see "TRON Legacy" these past 2 days.

Of course I'm movie buffed

out for a long while. lol! At least it's just a dollar and we

aren't spending an arm and a leg to go to all these movies.

OH talking about TV. Kenton and I have made a smart decision

to switch from DISH to Direct TV. We already cut our bill in

half with Dish, but it is time to say good bye DISH. NO more interfering

Dish Network. I was getting so tired of our channels changing, weird

recordings, people buying movies off of our dish (which we never saw). So

Why should we be left with the bill? We Kept them for 6 months longer

then what we were going to do. Oh well! At least we got some

free stations like STARS and HBO for awhile.

It has come that time to move on to better TV. lol!

Before I talk way to much tonight. I should say good night.

I'm sure I will find something else to talk about soon. :0)

LOvE you all! Have a GREAT night!

Birthday Dinner + Tuesday Bliss!!!

2011-02-22T23:27:00.000-08:00

Talk about a great way to ending a birthday. Alysa came up

with a great idea for making me dinner for my birthday. Mom

and Alysa decided to make it a family thing. :0)

Aubrey and her family came. Alysa and her lovely family was

there, so was Kenzie and my step sister Becky and her two boys

came. It was so fun to be at moms with so many others there.

Becky felt bad that she didn't get my Birthday card out in time.

When I didn't even know that her birthday was coming up.

I really need to write all the family's birthday's down. I feel like

I start to catch up and then I get left behind. Oh well!!!

It was a yummy dinner that mom made. She had me pick out

what I wanted to eat. which of course Pork Chops, Mashed Potatoes,

Gravy, Hot rolls, Corn, and Jello. :0) Yummy!!! My FAVORITE.

Mom had bought a Ice Cream Cake. Because she wanted to

Celebrate Aubrey, Becky, and My Birthday. Mom started

the candles and had all of us birthday kids blow out the candles

together. Becky had her youngest step in for her.

Here We are blowing out the candles. lol! what a site to see.

We had such a fun time with Family. Love you all. Thanks

for the great birthday dinner. LOVED it.

After Kenton and I went up to see his parents and family.

I was getting so tired. Plus I was SUPER full from dinner at moms,

I really couldn't eat anymore. It was so fun just hanging out

with family. I was really really tired by the end. I was just happy

to crash out at home. Silly baby! He always wears me out.

OK so I went to KID to Kid today and I found this amazing

bouncer, I just COULDN'T RESIST.

This was on our baby registry and I wanted it badly.

I found out that it still worked and was in great condition.

All it needed was a good wash and WA LA! Look it's so pretty!

It was originally $60 at Babies R US,

and I got it for $23 at KID to Kid. Talk about a GREAT

buy! I was so tickled to death over all of it. I called Kenton and

asked if I could get it. Of course he said yes after I told him I

would us my birthday money on it. lol! Our little guy is going

to just love it.

I really have to say I LOVE KID to Kid. It has great deal

on baby clothing. Look this outfit was only $2.99 That's all.

I also got an outfit for $1 and a pair of tan shorts for $1.

Can you get any better then that? Unless it's free... of course LOL!

I have been working on my baby crib bed set. I know it isn't done yet.

I tried the bed skirt to see if I was sewing everything correctly,

and look I was. YAY! It's going to look amazing once it's completely finished.

For all those who didn't know, I did change the Fabric on my bed set.

I did post awhile ago on what my baby bedding was going

to look like with the other material. but trust me. These colors

just shout out FUN!!! Our Little guys room is going to be Lime

green, baby blue, brown, and white. I'm going to LOVE it.

When I completely finish it. I will post better pictures of the bedding.

I know this is a side angle shot. We really need to get the guest

bed into the other bed room. Then I will have more room to

decorate. :0)

This Mommy is very happy!

My Birthday and 31 Weeks and 1 Day Pregnant

2011-02-18T23:08:00.000-08:00

What a boring Morning that lead to a wonderful Evening.

I was sad because my hubby had to go to work today.

It was worth the wait. I was able to clean the house

and also go to the store and pick up Aubrey's birthday

gift as well as my birthday outfit from Rue 21. Love that Place!

As I was on my way home my sister Aubrey called

and asked if I was home. I told her I was on my way.

She told me that she was coming over to wish me a

Happy Birthday and that she would be over shortly.

I was sad because I hit every red light there was. Super

annoying! Aubrey got to the house and called Kenton.

He was home and they went inside. Good thing because

her little girl didn't want to wait in the car. She wanted to

go hide before I got home.

I pulled up and saw that Aubrey was already there.

I walked inside and was wondering if all the girls

went upstairs to see the babies room. As I was looking

up the stairs I hear "SURPRISE!" The girls, Aubrey, and

Kenton jumped out from behind the couch. It was so CUTE!

They came up and gave me a big hug and wished me a

Happy Birthday. My cute little niece pick me out a Gluten

Free cake from the Gluten free store. It was SUPER cute.

It was actually one of my favorite cakes there. Great choice

cutie. :0)

I gave Aubrey a Calla lilly. I'm so happy she loved it.

I gave my little nieces each a ring pop. lol! I loved them

as a child. I'm so happy they like them as well. I felt like it was

the perfect little Valentines gift. I was just really sad that I didn't

give it to them until now. I am 4 days late

for their valentines gift and 12 days late

on Aubs birthday gift. I need to get on top

of my game. Sorry I didn't take any pictures of the girls.

They were super cute today.

Awe my sweet hubby took me to Red Lobster today for

my birthday. He mentioned that we could come here only once

every year. Which is my birthday! My hubby doesn't like sea

food and doesn't like the smell at all. Yet He can put up with it for

me on my very special day.

Kenton got steak and I got a 1 pound Snow Crab. YUMMY!

It wasn't all one pound. Because the crab has a shell on it. lol!

I am very sad to see that the ultimate feast is mainly Gluten!

Ugh! I miss the creamy mashed potatoes, buttered shrimp,

battered shrimp, and those yummy rolls they bring you all the time.

Kenton had the yummy rolls. I so want to learn how to make them

gluten free. It looks like the roll is based off of bisquick. I will have to play

with some recipes. :0)

Our food was so yummy! I couldn't get enough of it. I'm

glad that we don't come here a lot. There is a lot of fat with

all that butter. lol! Splurge! ha ha ha ha ha!

I'm sorry I look so bloated in all these pictures.

It comes with the territory with being pregnant. It's

all for a good cause. I keep telling myself that. :0)

I got some birthday money from my dad and Ann.

I decided to get myself a birthday outfit.

The two shirts and my lovely Jewelry. Thanks Dad and Ann.

We were so happy that you were able to spend time with

us before you went out of town. :0)

Side View. Sorry My shirt isn't really form fitting

and you can't really see my belly. I Love this Little guy.

I know I say that every time. I do feel like he got a lot

bigger since Valentines day. HOLY COW!!!

My birthday gift from Kenton...

He knew I really wanted to get a new purse, because I've had

mine since 2008 and it was falling apart. He had me close my eyes

and he drove us to a place. I was really confused where we

were. I can usually tell where we are, yet he drove round in circles

in a parking lot to throw me off the path. He had me open them and I realized

we were at the Ross Store. I was really confused and then he explained that

he wanted me to pick out which purse I wanted. I was so excited.

I didn't see one at Ross's that I really liked. We ended up going to

the Mall. We walked around and after going to three other stores,

we found this one. I was in LOVE!

I have smaller shoulders, so not every purse works for me.

The straps would always just fall off of my

small shoulders. This purse didn't do that. It actually worked.

The purse wasn't that cheap, but it will last

for a long long time and will be used everyday. Now that is

what I call putting your money into something that is

useful. lol!

I love you honey! You are the best. I was so surprised to

see all the Facebook Greetings and all the wonderful text

messages I got from family and friends. I feel truly loved today.

I love you all and thank you for all the love and support you

give. I will never forget this wonderful Birthday!

Valentines Day! 30 Weeks and 4 Days Pregnant

2011-02-14T22:00:00.000-08:00

This morning I woke up from a very bad dream.

Never thought I would have a dream when I went

into labor and my baby was dead on site. I found Kenton

in the kitchen at 6AM and gave him a huge hug.

He comforted me, let me know that everything was alright.

I calmed down... Before he went to work I was so excited I had

him open up his Valentines gift. He found some Black

colon (He mentioned that he liked the smell). Picked that

up at Rue 21. Along with his two shirts that I got on sale.

He was wanting more casual shirts.

Here is his first shirt and some yummy Heart Suckers!

Kenton's other shirt he was wearing. :0)

I'm so glad Kenzie came with me. Just because

I didn't know which shirts out of the three to get him.

If I didn't have her with me. I would have gotten all three. lol!

30 Weeks Pregnant! I can not believe only 10 more weeks

to go. There has been so much going on this week. First off

Kenton was REALLY sick for 4 days. Missed majority of work

that week. It made me really sad to see him so out of it.

Once he got feeling better (with me playing nurse). He

was helping so much around the house. It was so nice to have

him active and help me clean some. He's amazing!

I'm just happy he isn't sick anymore. I hate it when

he is sick. I miss him too much.

On Valentines day I really wanted to see our little baby.

I know very cheesy that I had Kenton scheduled it

on Valentines Day. I was excited that there wasn't a huge

wait. Instead of waiting 1 hour or more, we waited 15 min.

Our doctor came in. He still didn't take any pictures also he

didn't do any 4D ultrasound. So upsetting! I was happy to

hear our little man's heart beat. Also he is 3 pounds 6 oz.

I was surprised that I gained 5 pounds in a month. I believe

that it had something to do with my appetite finally picking up.

I'm debating if I want to change doctors or not... Maybe I should

pray about it.

Kenton got me flowers. Funny story about this.

My hubby came home from work and was taking

care of our dog, then turned on the tv down stairs

while I was getting ready. I went down stairs and

noticed that he didn't get me flowers. I mentioned

"You didn't get me flowers?" With a frownie face.

He was like "I didn't forget" and rushed out the door.

His excuse was... he was wanting to come home to me

he totally forgot to pick them up on the way home from work.

He came back home and had these 6 roses sitting on the table.

He is such a nut. After we rushed straight to the OB to see little

One.

After the OB we went straight to Off Broadway Theater.

Did you know on mondays you get in for half the price per

ticket. I didn't complain. We saw "Phantom of the OBT" which

was spoff off of Phantom of the Opera. I thought it was really

funny. I did realized that I shouldn't have gone without eating dinner.

I was getting a really bad migraine. I took something and was

feeling much better by intermission. That show was so funny.

I loved the Bum Hobo guy that played in the show.

After the show one of the cast came up to me and say "Look

we match" and was pointing at our belly's. He had a bear gut and

I was pregnant. I said right after "we sure do!" lol! I felt bad after

and was thinking I shouldn't have said that, it was a little

rude. But he did start it.

I look a little tired and my allergies were kicking my butt.

I hope you can't see it in the pictures. Here is me after

a long valentines day. Sorry I didn't have pictures with

Kenton and I at the theater like I wanted. Oh Well... We

had fun!

My front shot. Our little man has learned to Wake me

up with hard kicks when he wants me to wake up.

Kenton making Spaghetti at 10:30PM. We were having

a very late dinner if you couldn't tell. Kenton cleaned up

the rest of the dishes from the night before When Dad and

Ann came over. It was very nice to have them stop by.

I did all the dishes that night and couldn't fit the rest in the

dish washer. Kenton knew how out of it I was and took over.

SUPER sweet hubby. The shirt he is wearing is on of the

shirts I got him. He looks like a stud!

Dinner was great! But made me very sick, from not eating

when I was hungry at 630PM. Oh Well! Live and Learn.

I'm truly blessed to be married to such a great man.

I'm also truly blessed to be married to my best

friend. He has inspired me to be better everyday.

I love you honey and I am so happy we had a good

Valentines Day!

Tax Returns and birthday dinner

2011-02-13T07:50:00.000-08:00

For my birthday Kenton got me a sewing machine. I was so

happy, because now I get to work on projects for the babies room.

This machine is WONDERFUL! We got $100.00 off! Can you believe it?

I sure couldn't. It's a digital. I don't think I could be happier.

Kenton and I got this amazing Kitchen table that I found on

KSL.com This guy bought this table and still have the plastic on

the chair. He said that he bought them and barely used them.

Then he had to move. I assume somewhere out of the state.

He had this in a storage shed. We got it for super cheap.

I love KSL deals. If anyone doesn't want their new stuff. I don't

mind buying it from them for a super GREAT deal. LOL!

It was Nice because we used it for the first time for dinner

with Dad and Ann. It was so nice of Dad to pick it up from

South Jordan and bring it by to our house. It is Ann and

my birthday. We decided to have a birthday dinner.

I made potato boats, deviled eggs, Homemade gluten

free roles (I made by scratch), orange Jello with Mandarin

oranges. Dad and Ann brought Steaks that Kenton grilled up.

Of course he made them medium steaks and not medium rare. lol!

Silly boy!!! I'm not a big person on steaks. So I made myself Tilapia

tacos. :0) They were very yummy!

After we watched Prince of Persia a disney movie. I made

everyone their own personal gluten free upside down

pineapple cake. It was super yummy!!! It was a great night.

Happy Birthday Ann

29 Weeks and 3 Days!!!

2011-02-06T22:39:00.000-08:00

I can not Believe how time has just flown by.

There has been so much that has gone on this week.

I don't even know where to start.

On the 2nd of Feb. We caught up with April my sister

after 6 Years. I met her little ones. They are super

cute. I loved catching up with her and how she

has been doing with work and all. I love her,

It was good to have a sister date. I hope we get to

do it again sometime soon. :0) That would be nice.

Aubrey's two kids and Aprils kids were getting along.

It was so fun to watch them interact with each other.

I have 10 More weeks and 4 days to go... HOLY COW!

Was that a baby kick??? lol!

Our little man has been kicking, Stretching,

Punching, pulling the umbilical cord,

Getting under my ribs.

This little guy is every where these days.

For the first time I have experienced loss of breath.

This child has been getting on my diaphragm.

They tell you to crunch and breath deep. HA HA HA!

How is that supposed to help. I tried it and I tried sitting

straight up. I've also tried pushing my belly. Hum... I don't

know how that was supposed to help? Gasping for air is

odd... Especially when you've never experienced it before.

My hubby took me to the movies to see "morning glory".

At the Kaysville Theater. That was a funny movie.

It was so nice to get out. I have been CRAVING Movie

Theater popcorn. SOOOO good!

I've also been craving English Chips. If you don't

know what they are. It's like a Potato fry, but it's

in a square and has a coat of sugar base on it. It's super good.

I've had to have Diet cherry Limeade with it. Don't ask...

It's super good.

I need to stop Craving SUGAR... How do you get off sugar when

you're pregnant. I need to start eating healthier. It's doing

nothing but making my hips get bigger. I believe that is normal.

It's just different, my body is Changing. AHH!

I've had so much fun finishing the front part of my blanket

this week. AWE it's super cute! I've had so much fun making

this. :0) Just need the back fabric and some cotton to go

on the inside and then I can finally finish it up. I'm so excited!

Isn't it cute??? Thanks Chelsea for letting me use your sewing machine

to get this going. I'm so happy I have a surger. Thanks mom for

letting me know what I was doing wrong with threading the surger.

(The thread kept breaking. So glad I figured out what I was doing wrong).

Kenton and I LOVE our little boy already. We both

talk to him when he is moving, right before we go to bed.

It's such a blessing and a fun experience to have the

chance to be pregnant. Kenton and I are both looking forward

to Valentines Day. We are going to the OB to see how our

little man is doing. :0)

We still don't have a middle name. If you have any

good middle names that you want to lend our

way, we would be so grateful if you did.

I never thought that picking out a middle name

would be so hard to do. OY!

I'm sure it will come with time...

28 Weeks 3 Days

2011-01-30T22:39:00.000-08:00

This week sure flew by really fast. It's so fun to

see that people have been noticing my baby bump lately.

I normally don't have people notice, I usually tell them

that I'm pregnant...

and they don't believe me when I tell them how far

along I am lol!

I have to document a few things I have noticed.

Our little one kicks more when I first wake up in

the morning. He kicks when I want to go to sleep.

I have also noticed that he kicks when I am cooking

near the stove, When I'm soaking in the tub. He loves

to kick after I have eaten. He kicks more when I eat

spicy food or when Kenton is home and just made me laugh

Really hard.

Our little one responds to me poking my belly. lol! It's

more like a slight movement and then he's back to sleep.

Cravings: Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches or just

peanut butter. I have been craving more sweets. Which

I'm trying to not have a lot of... Hmm... I have been wanting

more diet coke. Which is also odd, because I haven't had a lot

of caffeine till I walked into my third trimester. Hence this week

and last week. Ugh! I have wanted more chicken. I have noticed

I've wanted waffles morning, day or night. lol! I've been in love

with my Ensures in the morning with my breakfast. Such a friendly

boost PLUS vitamins. :0)

Kenton went a little camera happy. We are in the middle of transitioning

the guest room to the babies room. So I'm sorry about the sports

theme and floral theme in the room. lol! It's so random! These next

two months were going to playing a lot in the nursery and getting

it more ready. :0) So exciting!!!

I just realized that when I look down I can't see my feet any more.

It's so weird to not being able to see my feet anymore. It is

a good thing I just read on "What to Expect when you're expecting".

I was also reading about babies kicks and how big the baby is.

Can you believe that my baby that is about 16 inches right now.

He is also the size of a Chinese Cabbage and weighs 2 1/4 pounds.

I can't believe that my LONG baby actually fits.

It's now time for baby to start packing on the weight before

he comes out. I just hope our OB knows how to work the 4D

ultrasound by the time we have our next appointment, which is on

Valentines day! Awe... Such a wonderful treat to ourselves. lol!

Good bye Tiburon hello MAZDA3 i Touring

2011-01-29T00:10:00.000-08:00

We went and sold our car... The last look of our sweet sports car.

This is our 2005 Tiburon GT limited sports Car. With Power locks/windows,

keyless entry, sunroof, auto climate control, infinity sound

system including a 10" subwoofer in the hatch,

Saying good bye... Trade in for our Family car.

Kenton loved the Leather/Material on this... But sacrifices

must be made. :0) We sure LOVED ya car. It was such a fun

car to take on dates and outings. Good Bye!

in this picture... The car isn't scratched. It just has snow and ice

on it. I took this picture from the dealership website. I didn't

have time to take one of my own. I should probably get on that. :0)

We finally sold our Tiburon today. It's so weird to say that

we have a NEW car. It's so fun to have a family car. We really

needed one. If we had the Tiburon when the baby was born,

there would be no way we could get the baby in and out very easily.

Just because we found out

with Aubrey's kids. That the car seat has to be put through

the hatch. Ugh! Good thing Aubrey's kids are bigger. I just don't

know what I think about all of that with a new born. Just because

they have to stay in the car seat the whole time.

I wanted to tell you a little bit about our New Car. This is

a 2010 Mazda MAZDA3 i Touring. The color is Liquid Silver.

Kenton is really happy that is is a darker silver. He isn't a fan of the

lighter color silver and I have always loved color on a car.

I'm so happy that we found a car that we both like. :0)

The inside of the car, it is the base model so no leather, heated seats,

navigation system, Auto Climate, Sunroof

or no Push Start. If we ended up getting that

car it would have been 5 to $8,000 more. We ended up putting

our priorities in order. We do have a baby on the way and we both realized

that getting baby stuff is more important. These things will all come in time.

Kenton and I have just loved this car. I was really surprised

that we sold our sports car. Kenton had put the Tiburon on Ksl.com

and a guy at a dealership wanted to see it. We ended up driving to

Sandy to have our car looked at. One of the dealers went out and looked at it and

came in and gave us a price that was way more then what any other dealership

was going to offer us. I turned to Kenton and was more willing to look

at the cars the had on their lot. We had already tested the Mazda3 before and we

already knew that we loved this car. I was really happy to see that they

had this car for a great deal. Kenton ended up talking the guy down $1,500

from what he wanted to sell it for. I was trying not to laugh or show

any emotion, in fear that he wouldn't go down any more in price. lol!

I was in shock to see that we were doing paper work and that we were

going to get this car. We have been to many dealerships and loved

certain cars, but things always happen for a reason. The dealers never offered

us a good price for our car. I know they did that, because they knew

they could sell it for a lot more. Kenton and I just ended up walking

off the lot to try to sell our car on our own. I LOVE my husband. He

Is such a great man. I'm looking forward to many trips with our

new little family car. Looks like things are finally coming together.

I'm also feeling more prepared as the time has been getting

closer for our little man to come. :0)

Our Christmas Card 2010

2011-01-25T15:33:00.000-08:00

To all those who didn't get a Christmas Card.

I'm very sorry!!! We had a short budget and could only

do 25 which went to Family and very few friends.

I will try to do better next year. I know I promised I

would post this for those who didn't get a card could

see it and feel included. Remember I still love you! :0)

I hope you enjoy our lovely Christmas Card to all of you.

Sorry the last picture was a little orange from our Mexico trip.

It looked different on the website and when they were printed

we ended up looking like umpa lumpas. Ha ha ha! Gotta Love it!!!

If you are having trouble reading the wording on the Christmas card,

just click on the picture and it will make it bigger.

Happy Be-Lated Holiday's Everyone! I hope it was a good one. :0)

Baby Bedroom Design in the works

2011-01-25T14:16:00.000-08:00

Here are a few Ideas we have for the baby's room.

I'm super excited to see all the plans and Ideas finally coming

together. We have all the patterns and the materials picked out.

I can't wait for our tax returns to come so

I can go buy my fabric and start on

this lovely Bedroom set idea we have for our little man.

I have a funny story on why we decided on sewing all the

things for the baby's room instead of just buying one.

Well Kenton and I went to Babies R US and looked at all

the bedding sets. I wanted a jungle theme and Kenton

wanted more of a sports theme. I wasn't into the sports

theme as much, just because it looked more like a room

for a child in the 5th grade. Kenton didn't like the Jungle Theme

just because he said it looked too much like a little girls room.

Well after looking online and going a little nutty on trying

to find the right pattern that both of us could agree on. After looking

for a month online, I decided to

go with a plain pattern. No designs on it, no theme, just Blue and brown. lol!

We found one online that we both really liked. The only problem

was the ugly camel color on it. I didn't want to just spend money on

something I wasn't truly happy with. I ended up breaking and

came up with the idea to just make a custom babies

room set. I started going to all the fabric stores and picking

swatches of fabric. I had so many different swatches and so many

different colors. After playing with them for a while. I finally came

up with this wonderful pattern with these colors. Kenton and I both

LOVE IT!!!

This was just the beginning of our ideas for the room.

Which is including baby crib (Bed skirt, bed sheets, and bumper pads).

I will be making the curtains with that lovely blue material.

I have also found a beautiful sheer White material to go behind the

curtains. It has the same look as that blue material. I'm also adding

material to a lamp shade to match the room. This room is going to look

so darling once we finish it all up, and add little extra touches

to the room with the money we will be saving in the long run.

As well as what extra things we will need, that we didn't get from

baby showers. I'm excited that Kenton and I have a game plan. :0)

Let me know your thoughts on this baby room.

I love it! I hope you feel the same way.

27 Weeks and 4 Days Pregnant!

2011-01-24T13:12:00.000-08:00

I should be more on top of these things. I feel like I never

get pictures done right on my week mark. lol! I haven't wrote

about our last doctors appointment. We went to see our new doctor

on January 17th 2011. He was actually really good and answered a lot

of my questions and fears. I enjoyed that he had so much knowledge. I

Loved the fact that he had so much time to spend on me. I had our

other doctor that had way too many clients and was always in a rush.

I'm not saying he was not good, because he was the Best OB in Utah. I believe.

The only down fall with our new doctor was he didn't really know how to use

the fancy equipment. He knew all the basics. I was sad that he didn't

know how to do the 4D ultrasound. I hope he can figure it out before we go

in again. I miss the 4D pictures. Our new doctor also forgot to give

us our pictures of the little baby. So I don't really have a visual for

everyone. I'm sure he will get a hang of it. I can say that I do

trust him in a delivery room. I'm glad I gave him a chance. I really

shouldn't have worried all that much about a new OB. :0)

I have been so excited. I finally finished my 9 burp cloths and 4 baby bibs.

I am now going to get started on my baby blanket. As soon as

I finish that, then it's time to get started on baby bedding,

which includes the bumper pad, crib sheets, and crib skirt.

Then I have a diaper stacker I'll be working on, as well as

curtains to match, if I have extra time I will be working on

another baby blanket. I thought this way we would be saving

money as well as giving me something to do during the day.

Kenton and I were also happy Brady and Bonnie let us borrow their

little baby bassinet. It's super cute and white. :0) I'm sure

that will be nice to have for the first three months. Thank

you guys it is super cute!

We finally finished our baby registry at Babies R US. Now

time to finish up our registry at Target. Then we will be set.

I have been working on invitations for the baby shower and

almost have them finished (all thanks to JJ).

We have all of our paper goods bought for the

shower. I'm so happy that yesterday we finally picked out a date.

The date for the shower is on April 16th around 11AM.

I have decided I'm doing the same thing I did for my bridal shower

and only having ONE shower for my dad's side, Mom's side, and

friends. I felt like that worked best on me as well as on them.

I'm kind of scared having it so close to the due date. I think it will be

ok... Hopefully!

Other news... Our little man has been getting so big.

His kicks are getting stronger and I swear he is a night owl. lol!

I love watching my belly move. Kenton likes watching him kick and

feeling his movements. Kenton likes to talk to my belly.

He tells him who is boss and not to hurt mommy. lol!

Even though the kicks don't really hurt. I love my little man.

I'm surprised on how small I look. I don't feel very little.

Our new doctor was concerned because I didn't look like I was

26 weeks and 4 days pregnant. He did some measurements on

my belly and then when he did the ultra sound he wasn't worried

anymore, he told me "You must be doing something right, he

is a week ahead of schedule". That made mommy's day to see

that all is well. Maybe I just have mother bearing hips?

I think I have said a lot for now. I will see if I can get our baby

bedding ideas up soon so all of you can see all the images

and materials that we will be using in the room.

LOVE all of YOU! Thanks for all your support and all you do for

our growing little family.

26 Weeks 1 Day

2011-01-07T05:27:00.000-08:00

Oh my! I can't believe how time has just flown by.

Kenton and I are getting so excited for our little one

that is just GROWING! His kicks are getting stronger and

he is moving more these days. On January 6th 2011,

we made it to our 26th mark. I feel like I have been totally blessed

with an easy pregnancy, an amazing husband, a beautiful

house, and wonderful family and friends. What more could

a girl ask for?

Starting with this week I now know what Braxton

Hicks Contractions are now. Not to worry for those who

dont know that that is. I'm not in labor. It's more like my

body preparing for baby to come. They come for a min. Then they

are gone. All is well!

On January 10th 2011 we Hit our 100 day mark till baby comes.

I really couldn't believe that we were on the double digits point.

We decided to celebrate that we are now in the "double digits" on

the 13th. We went to Roosters Restaurant. It was so good!

I had Hot Wings. I haven't had hot wings since the

beginning of 2008, when I was in Chicago. Oh how I have

missed the taste of hot wings. It's so nice to be able

to eat them again. Everywhere I have been they don't sell

Hot wings Gluten Free. Family and Friends Roosters

has a wonderful Gluten free menu. I could kiss them. I really

was that excited! Half way though my meal. My little one

was doing summersaults in my stomach. I read that it is ok

to eat hot and spicy meals. It's kind of interesting to know

that they can now taste what I eat. It just takes 2 hours to

get to him. I feel like trying different foods and introducing him

to all my favorite foods. I told Kenton that our little man

will have my taste buds. LOL! He will grow to LOVE spicy foods.

Vegetables and sea food. I'm going to love having a little

buddy. :0) I love you honey. Thanks for all that you do

for our little family. Hugs!

Christmas Pictures!

2011-01-05T19:52:00.000-08:00

Our Pictures are in! Yay! I'm super excited to see them.

We were at Grandma Wilkinson's for Christmas and

We had the chance to get our pictures done. Yay!!!

These were taken December 23rd 2010 at Grandma's house.

Her house is so beautiful. :0)

I was Exactly 23 weeks. So much fun!

Hope you enjoy these pictures.

It was so fun to have all Kenton's family there. What a lovely

family picture. Love you guys.

Happy New Years!!! Good Bye 2010

2011-01-01T23:40:00.000-08:00

Happy New Years!!!

I can't believe it's 2011 already. This year has

gone by so fast. I guess it's because so much has

happened in 2010. From planning a wedding,

Kenton getting a new job, to

getting married, moving into a new home, baby

on board (planned may I add). Now preparing for a baby

to come.

It's so fun planning and preparing for a baby.

Kenton has loved his new job. We loved getting

Married in the temple. I keep wondering what is

going to be coming around the corner for 2011.

I do know that baby will be here in April, right

after our one year anniversary.

I was trying to think if I had any resolutions from

last year. Then I realized I don't think I made many.

I was engaged and was too twitter-pated to realize I

didn't make any. lol!

Kenton Wanted to make our last day special. He decided

to take me out. I got all dolled up and we went to Outback

Steakhouse. I was so excited when I heard that Mom and Dan

were going to the same place at the same time. So we decided to

meet them there. It was good to go out to eat with them. :0)

Kenton and I ordered our favorite foods from this place.

I was really sad to see that the waitress was over worked.

She had so much on her mind that she kept forgetting about

what we needed on our table. It happened so many times.

I was excited because Kenton let me get a specialty drink. :0)

After we decided to go play some bowling at boondocks.

That was a lot of fun. I told Kenton that my uterus

was probably the size of this bowling ball. Only to find

out that it is the size of a soccer ball. lol! I'm a soccer mom and

I didn't even know it... also I didn't have to get the minivan. lol! jk!

I'm 24 Weeks Pregnant and I feel like it! I was having a hard time

getting up and down from my chair. Kenton had to help me out. Nice!

Kenton thinks he's pretty tricky. Look what he can do?

I couldn't believe that I won the first game of bowling.

That has never happened before. Kenton always wins every bowling game

we have ever played before. Also I couldn't believe that

Kenton and I tied on the second game. That has never happened

before either. We didn't do so well on the second game if you

couldn't tell. lol!

After we decided to head out to Brady and Bonnie's

house to play some games with some of their friends

and family. It was so much fun hanging out. They played

a game called curses and funglish. I've never played

the game funglish before. If you've never played it before,

you need to play it.

Super silly! I know I stayed up way too

late on New Years Night. What a great way to end 2010.

Kenton almost forgot to give me my new years kiss.

So glad he remembered... a min later. lol!

I'm so grateful for my Husband, Family, and my friends.

We Love our home. Our Little dog that has way too much energy.

Sometimes we do love him. Other times I wonder... lol!

We have been so blessed every time we turn around.

One second I think we aren't going to make it.

The next second we are being totally blessed. You have to

love blessings.

I'm looking forward to 2011. This is going to be

a fun Year!

Christmas 2010

2010-12-26T22:33:00.000-08:00

This was such a busy weekend. It wasn't as crazy

as I thought it would be. This picture above was

our lovely tree this year. I was so happy to find such a

great discount on it. Mom let us borrow some wonderful

Christmas ornaments she had left over. Brought back

so many memories and made it feel like Christmas.

I'm so silly.

We bought some Stevens hot cocoa for our neighbors. I felt

so silly just giving it to them as is, with a sticker on top of

it with their names. I decided to get creative and made

20 of these cute little cocoa jars. I put a little poem on it

that said

"When the weather outside is frightful,

Hot Chocolate can be so delightful!

May it warm your spirit and your soul.

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let is Snow!

When you feel a chill or brrrrr,

Use the candy cane to stir.

Add hot water and sip it slow.

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!"

I guess you can say I have too much

time on my hands.

Our Christmas gift to ourselves was this beautiful big

flat screen TV. We bought it a little early around

October to enjoy it a little longer. We just couldn't

pass up the great deal we got on it. :0)

Our stockings were something cheap that I had bought.

I couldn't find any cute ones that I really liked.

So we dealt with something simple this year.

I'm sure I will keep my eyes open, hopefully I will

find some good ones for us next year. :0)

Kenton and I got Jingle Jammies from old Navy,

for Christmas Eve.

It was so much fun to see Kenton's face when he

opened them. He can't get enough of them.

I'm glad I did a good job picking them out.

I love my handsome man. :0)

Christmas morning. Kenton found this wonderful

Christmas surprise in his stocking. It is our first

ornament for our Christmas tree. He LOVED it!

I love our wedding picture that was inside it.

I got Kenton the power drill accessory set.

I was so proud of myself. Kenton has loved using

his tools around the house. It will be so nice

to have a nice tool kit to have. I love it. He loves

this gift.

I didn't post my picture up... but Kenton

Had got me a food dehydrator. I was so surprised

that he bought it for me. I wanted one when we got

married. I was surprised that he remembered that I

wanted one. I love my man.

We got many other gifts. I didn't post them all.

I will just say we got spoiled. The highlight gift that mom

gave us was a crystal serving dish. It's so beautiful.

Thank you mom! It's Beautiful!

Kenton and I ran home really fast to take

our dog outside. Kenton's good

friend from work came over to drop off a gift.

(He was one of our best roommates that

lived with us for one month).

He got Kenton this huge Crescent 195 pc tool set.

HOLY COW!!! He out did my gift.

Short story on this. Kenton asked him if he could

borrow his Crescent set, so he could fix his spark plugs

on our Tiburon.

So Larry decided to buy him this huge tool set

instead. :0)

On Christmas day we went to Kenton's parents house

to enjoy some Christmas time. :0) It was fun to see

what fun games they had planned. First I got this silly,

silly shirt from My brother in law Jason. It looks great

with my new pj's. Kenton got Toy Story 3 on Blu-ray

from his baby sister Andelyn. He was super excited.

We've been trying to get more kid movie's for our little

man, whom is on his way.

We then played a game at the Jeffery's. It was kind

of like the White Elephant gift game. There were many different kinds

of wrapped gifts, such as cookies, brownie mix, hygiene items,

female products, and mens items. How to play:

When it was your turn, you would choose a present from

the middle of the pile and open it. Everyone could steal an item

only 3 times. On the third time it was safe, Which means you

get to keep it. I thought it was funny

because we ended up with a few razors. Which I didn't mind.

I loved working as a team with my husband to steal gifts

that we wanted. lol! I think it turned out well. Way fun!

After Christmas on the 26th of December. We went to my dad's house

to celebrate Christmas. My little nieces got these cute costumes,

from my Dad and Ann. Tinker bell and Snow White!

They were super adorable.

We were so spoiled from Dad and Ann as well. He got us a Nice camera

to replace the one we lost in Mexico. It is the same brand but

a new model. I didn't complain. It was really nice! We ended up

getting "How to train your dragon" On Blu-ray! Also a movie

for our little man. :0) This picture is so fun! I'm starting to

look pregnant sitting down. So fun! I'm 24 Weeks! :0)

Last but not least. We got these super cute little glass booties.

To place in our little boys room. I'm so happy that they are red.

Because it will match his room so well. :0) My step mom

mentioned she didn't have any writing on it because we don't

know exactly what day he will be born. We also don't know

how much he will weigh and what time he will be born.

It's blank for now. I wanted to ask her if they could later

write on them. When he is finally born. If not I'm sure I could.

These were super cute and a GREAT idea.

We had such a great Christmas with everyone. I know

we were totally spoiled. I truly love my family and don't know

what I would do without them. :0)

Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope you have a

Happy New year!

22 Weeks 4 Days! Targeted Ultrasound... Yay!

2010-12-20T16:02:00.000-08:00

I have never been such a happy mom seeing such beautiful

pictures of my little bundle of joy. I have been just at awe!

I love seeing his facial features starting to come. I can't wait...

I'm so excited to watch him grow more and more every visit.

It is so fun being pregnant and feeling all the little kicks and

movements he makes. I know he is truly a night owl. That's

when he moves the most. He also lets me know he is still there

during the day. I will get a random movement and

then he is done.

I truly loved this visit. They checked everything

to see if the baby was healthy and growing strong.

Come to find out everything is normal and mommy can

finally sleep and not stress if everything is ok or not.

I love this picture. Our little man is giving the camera a dirty

look in this picture. It makes me laugh so hard.

Just because I don't think he liked the ultrasound

as she was pushing on him. It was almost like he was

sleeping and she woke him up. He wasn't too happy...

He then proved it by kicking me. I think he wanted her

to stop bugging him in his sleep. I know this is odd to say,

but I'm happy my baby already has emotions. Hopefully

he wont be too much of a drama queen like mommy lol!

I LOVE my babies button nose. Kenton said that he

has his button nose. When the lady first pulled

this picture up in 4D I was so excited that he had a button

nose. I think she just giggled. He is growing so much!

What can I say... I'm one happy momma!

I have no idea how he is sleeping like this...? It is so weird to

see his feet all the way up by his head. It was so cute in the video

because he kept grabbing his cute little toes. I love this little man

already.

22 Weeks Pregnant!

2010-12-17T21:43:00.000-08:00

I'm loving that I'm starting to show more of a baby

bump! This little baby is surely growing. Pretty

soon, I wont know what to do. Hopefully I can

start going to the gym and get my legs more

ready for what is to come.

I have been able to take the time and think of

all the things that I am grateful for this christmas.

I'm so happy that I have a loving husband,

A warm home, Food to eat, Warm blankets,

Warm bath, there are a lot more things

that I'm grateful for such as family and friends.

I love that so many of you have been so supportive

thought my pregnancy. It sure isn't easy sometimes.

I know I have my ups and downs with being pregnant.

Plus trying to keep as busy as much as I can during the day.

I'm so happy that all my christmas shopping is almost

done. I have one more gift to get. :0) This should

be really easy! Oh... and stocking stuffers. Oy! I almost

forgot. lol! It will get done. I'm sure of it.

20 Weeks 5 Days Ultrasound

2010-12-07T20:41:00.001-08:00

Our baby is still a boy! lol! There was a better view but our

doctor missed it. So we are stuck with this picture. Oh well!

Not as good quality of pictures this time. I will explain why...

Ok so not what I expected my doctor visit to be like.

We went to our OB and he was behind 1 hour and

we had to wait forever just to get in. Only to

find out he was in a rush. We ended up in a different room

with different equipment. I believe this was so he could do a easy

quick scan and get out of the office

at a decent time. He tells us

that I have been gaining weight very well.

Then he turns on the screen and says

that Kayden has been growing very well.

He is now 15 oz. and is 5 days ahead of schedule.

It's so good to hear nothing but good news.

Then our doctor finishes and tells us he is sorry

to say but he is retiring from being an OB. He is

moving his practice from being an OB to going to be working with

veracious vains. This way he will not be "on call". From not having

any free weekends and working long hours in the office.

It is good for him, that way he can spend more time with family.

I don't know what I'm going to do

with out him. I have started to gain trust in our

doctor. Now I have to see someone else.

I don't know how I feel about it.

I guess it's OB hunting all over again.

Our doctor Recommended the new doctor.

Dr. Alejo. He has been in OB for 3 1/2 years.

OY! I don't think I like that idea.

I guess we will find out in 6 weeks if we want

to change doctors or not. Ugh!

This video is very fast and there isn't any

4D due to our doctor not having a lot of

time and trying to rush though clients.

I totally understand. Yet! I'm freaking out and

don't know what to do about finding a new

doctor. EEEK! I hope to get answers soon. :0)

Either Seeing Doctor Bierer whom is already

super busy or taking chances on new guy.

Time to pray about it. I really need some answers.

I'm excited for our visit in two weeks. Because we are going

to be doing the "targeted ultrasound". It is to help find if there is

any birth defects and they screen for certain

types of genetic conditions, such as Down syndrome.

I can't believe they can see all of that on this

ultrasound. It also checks the overall

growth and development of our baby.

It checks details of the baby's organs including

the face, ears, brain, heart, stomach, spine, kidneys,

bladder, bones, hands and feet.

Durning the targeted ultrasound it can often detect birth

defects such as cleft lip, open neural tube defects, major

heart defects and hydrocephaly. I'm excited to see

all the little details of our baby. It's going to be exciting!

Yay!

20 Weeks Pregnant!

2010-12-03T09:53:00.000-08:00

On Dec. 2nd 2010 was my 20 week pregnant mark.

I surly don't feel 20 weeks pregnant. I look like I'm 3 months

pregnant. Only 4.5 months more to go. Crazy to think I'm at my half

way point.

I know there is so much to get done. I shouldn't worry

about it. Things come with time. I have noticed being pregnant.

I have had 3 Ear Infections (Which isn't normal... Every time

I get rid of it, it comes right back. I don't like going to the

doctors all the time so I just "deal" with the pain.)

I have noticed that eating while pregnant with Celiac Disease

is HARD! I crave a lot of Gluten and I have to stay away from it.

I also haven't been getting the nutrition that I need. I guess

you can say it's hard eating anything. I feel like

I eat the same thing everyday. I guess that's what I have

to deal with.

While being pregnant I haven't had much energy. I feel like

my chores seem to pile up on each other.

I have had some blessings being pregnant one

would be being able to feel my baby move.

I started feeling him on my 16 week mark. While we

were in Mexico. Now I feel him every night.

My little bundle of joy moves more when I'm ready to

go to sleep about 11:30pm. So I end up just staying up for awhile

till I finally fall asleep. Guess you can say I'm not used to all

the movement that's going on. It's kind of distracting. If you ask me.

I have been trying to keep busy with making my scrapbook

It's on my progress with baby and also making baby bibs at

the moment. I have been trying to make a Gluten free cook book,

but it's not going over very well.

I turned down jet blue. Seeing that I would be away from Kenton

for 4 weeks straight. for training...Trying to find something to eat

that's gluten free seems like it's a harder then what I thought.

Also I have had more bad morning and trying to get

ready seems like a chore with in itself. Always getting migraines

almost passing out if I don't eat. Then getting ear infections puts

me down for another couple of weeks. It is no fun being sick

and pregnant. I would rather have one or the other.

Another reason why I didn't take the job. It doesn't pay enough

and I'd only be working part time. Kenton and I realized I'd only

be working till I have the baby. I don't think they will give me a long

pregnancy leave. Also I don't think I want to send my new born to

day care. I have always wanted to be there for my kids.

Plus I don't trust most girls. I was a nanny. I have seen a lot of

nannies. I don't want my baby to have neglect or abuse.

Asking family to help part time seemed like a chore with-in

it's self. I'd want to only ask them to babysit, only if Kenton

and I needed a babysitter so we could do a date night, or

something like that. I was also thinking about if I worked in

the evening and kenton worked in the morning. Then we would

be like those parents that never really communicate because while

one is sleeping the other one is working. That didn't sound appealing

to me. We will see if something else comes up. Just to

answer questions... No I can not work with a new born in the

house and juggle the job and baby all at once by myself.

It might be a job from home, but I still have to have the room

quiet and I can't say "I'm sorry miss can i put you on hold

I have to take care of my crying baby? I'm sorry for all that

crying in your ear". You don't do that for

reservations for a plane company. That's not professional!

I've had a few people

tell me that I could still work while tending a baby.

umm... Then you do it with your own kids and you go

work for them. Sounds good to me.

On my twenty week mark I was expecting a celebration

from my husband like flowers or something.

With him saying "YAY! we are half way there, good job

mommy to be". Then I released I

have an over active mind that is way too romantic sometimes.

Kenton doesn't do romantic things unless it's valentines

day. I live in a reality! The real world. Plus I had a migraine

that could kill if it really wanted too. I was dizzy and stayed

on the couch the whole day. Go figure! Good thing I have

my thoughts that are attached with how great the day

could have been. I like the thoughts better then reality

sometimes. Day dreaming is the best...

I should get off the computer and get ready for the day.

I have a few things planned and I'm not going to be able

to get them done sitting on here typing away.

I will up load some more soon. Sorry if pregnancy

seems bad sometimes. Everyone is different and we

all have different challenges with our pregnancies.

Not to worry I'm excited to be a mommy to my little boy.

its a boy!!!

2010-12-02T01:08:00.000-08:00

Alrighty... I really need to keep updated with my posts.

We went to the doctors on November 7th 2010. To find

out if our baby was a girl or a boy. Come to find out we are

actually having a boy. I was wondering because my instincts told

me it was a boy. When I had a dream it was a girl. Kind of confused me.

Kenton on the other hand wanted a boy to be first (To be the protector

or his sister. If we ever have a girl). Kenton also had a dream while we

were in Mexico and saw that it was a boy. He saw when he was a baby

to when he was just a child and also when he was an adult.

Kenton mentioned that his dreamed jumped around a lot.

Then come to find out that his dream was right put me in shock.

I've always called my bump a boy. lol!

While we were at the doctors office our doctor has always

been very nice and very helpful. I think he was excited to know

I was 17 weeks 1 day, and he was going to find out the babies sex.

Sound a little too early? Well if you watch the video they

are pretty high tech over there. Which has been a blessing

on my side. I always have to see and hear to know every

thing is ok. Which it was.

Kenton was standing by the bed this time. I'm glad I talked

to him the first time we went (he just sat on the chair and

watched the screen). But this time...

He was also so anxious to find out what the

babies sex was. I have been having pain in my lower

left side. Come to find out our little bundle of joy

has been camping out on his side in the left corner.

Ugh! Child that isn't very nice to do that to mommy. Our doctor was

having to move the ultrasound and as you can tell in

the video our baby was being a little difficult, but we

found the little one. We are just not getting the full

view like we did the first two times we went. The doctor

mentioned the bigger the baby gets this is how it is going

to be. Seeing that you can't get it all on one shot. That's ok

though. We had fun figuring everything out with the doctor.

After the Doctor did some measurements, he then asks me

"What's the sex that has the brains between the legs?". I was

puzzled because I was shocked he was asking a question like

that. I then reply with "A boy?" He laughs and looks at Kenton

and says "Girls never get that question wrong". I had to ask him

"Are you sure it's a boy?" He replies "I'm 85% positive". Well that

is better then 65%. lol! Then something comes on the screen

I point at it and say... "Is that the...?" and the doctor said

"Yes that is the penis". Well... that went straight to the point.

That finalized it. Our baby is 100% boy!

We had so much fun telling family over the thanksgiving week.

Aubrey and Adam found out first... Seeing that Kenton started off

with a story and Aubrey yells "I know what it is now" Then I covered

Kenton's mouth which confirmed it. lol! Then after we went to moms

a couple days before Thanksgiving. She opened our box (that had the

announcement in it). She was shocked and said "I don't know

what to do with boys". I don't either mom. I don't even know

what Kind of toys boys like to play with. lol! I'm sure I will

find out on this journey. We then told Kenton's family

at a Thanksgiving party. Kenton's mom opens up the box.

She was surprised to see it was a boy. She guessed wrong due

to a dream she also had. She had a dream it was a girl. Don't worry

Donna I had a dream of a little girl and it totally threw me off.

Then finally we went to dads house and announced it was

a boy. He had guessed girl. Seeing our luck with girls in this family.

Dad opened it and his reaction was the best we've seen yet.

Dad has always wanted a boy. Now he has a grandson.

So excited! Yet he was bummed that he wasn't one of

the very first to know about the sex. Yet I can't please

everyone. I sure did try to keep this a secret to make

it a great surprise. I'm happy that it ended up being one.

I have been thinking... Maybe our next baby will be a girl? lol!

Seeing that I wasn't the only one who had the dream

of a little girl. Interesting!

Here is our baby video. I hope you

enjoy it! We will have an updated one on the

seventh. So keep posted! :0)

The Ten Virgins

2010-12-01T00:23:00.000-08:00

What an exciting experience this was. I had the opportunity

to be in a program called The Ten Virgins,

based off of the New Testament. Good thing I don't look

Pregnant. I was able to hide my little belly with this dress.

I only had one month to memorize the song

"Lantern light" (Leora's song). I played Leora the wise virgin.

It is a song about Leora helping those that have lost their way.

She uses her light to the help the lost, the weary and the wounded.

She helps find their way back home.

I Loved playing Leora. The funny thing is while we were singing

we couldn't really hear the music. I was slowing my pace

down just so I could make sure I was on track on my solo. I felt like

since I couldn't hear I was wanting to go faster, but I didn't.

I'm so glad I didn't mess up. I was nervous that I would, just because

during practice the music was too loud and also the mic was

too loud that I could hear myself too much.

Also on top of that it was way too warm,

(I felt like I was going to pass out a few times)

there were little kids running around.

With all the craziness I was having a

hard time remembering the words to my song. lol! I just had

her start my music over. I know during the program

Aubrey had Kathy start her music over. It was really

hard to hear the music. lol! If it wasn't super loud

it was way too soft. I'm just glad the turn out was great.

The last song we sang with all the 10 virgins was called

"When he comes for me". I had a two small solo's

during it. It was so fun! The only down fall was it was

a little low key for me. I ended up pulling it off and making it work.

I totally forgot my lantern light for this song.

I guess you can say that I wasn't

very prepared and wise anymore. lol! It's ok! I was just

the only one that didn't have a light. I just had to laugh.

Silly forgetful pregnant Daisia

It was so exciting to be in this program with my sister.

Kathy was asking me who I knew that could sing alto.

I thought of my sister. She wanted me to listen to that song

and I quickly thought "my sister needs to sing this song".

I called Kathy up and told her I would talk with Aubrey.

I was so happy when Aubrey said she would sing it.

Aubrey ended up playing Nava. She sang "Easy to forget".

It's a song talking about how hard it is to remember,

but it is so easy to forget. She gets caught up with the

world. It is such a pretty song and Aubrey sang it

so well.

I love the fact that my Mom, Dad, my husband, and

my brother in law came to support us. I couldn't

look at my dad towards the end of my song.

He was getting all teary eyed and I was starting to get

chocked up! I felt the spirit so strong while the program was

going. I just wish we could have recorded it. I really

wanted it on video. Oh well! Good memories to remember

for a life time. I'm going to see if I can get it recorded so I

can have it on a CD. Hopefully I will get it done soon,

so I can post it on here so you all can hear it. :0)

Wouldn't that be fun?

Love you all. OH I almost forgot December 2nd is

my 20 week Pregnancy Mark! YAY! Half way Point. :0)

19 Weeks Pregnant! Happy Thanksgiving

2010-11-25T23:46:00.000-08:00

Today I'm 19 weeks pregnant. It's now Thanksgiving :0)

We had such a fun time hanging out with Family today.

I just feel bad that we were running late.

Dinner was supposed to be at 3:30PM we technically

didn't get on the road until then. I was super stressed.

#1 we had to make a gluten free dinner that morning,

then pack it. (not knowing the family was trying to prepare

something on the side for us).

#2 I was trying to get ready and still feeling sick and

was trying to get ready. Ugh! I felt like I had lead in my arms.

#3 We were out of gas and no gas stations were open.

So we used my card. Ugh! I don't like to talk about

financial hardships, but I can say we are totally flat broke until

Kenton gets paid on the 1st. Then it will all go to the house

and again we will have just enough for food and gas. lol!

guess we live just like everyone else. Fun! Fun! Fun!

We ended up making it to Dad's and everyone was quiet in the

room. We all got some food in our belly's and the

conversation picked up. It was good to see.

We had dad open his present from us

for his birthday and it announced

the babies sex. His face lightened up with so much

joy. It was so much fun to see the joy in his face.

He's always wanted his own boy. This was just

nice for him to know we were having a boy.

It was super cute. I was sitting with my niece

Kylie and I decided to show her a video of my baby.

I had my dad come over too to watch the video.

I was explaining what was going on in the video

while it was playing. Once it was over Kylie

turns to me and feels my belly and says "I can't

feel the baby kick". I told her I only feel it right

before I go to bed and she asks "Why?" I really

didn't have an answer for her beside. "The baby

likes to be awake at night and likes to sleep during

the day.". Later she kept coming up and feeling

my belling while she would say "I felt your baby,

I felt it kick". then she would tell me where the head

was and that she could feel it's baby. It was super cute.

I was so happy after we went to the movie "Tangled".

It's a cartoon based on Rapunzel cartoon. It was

super cute. :0) It was such a funny show I wouldn't

mind buying it. I really enjoy those cartoons that are

fun for the kids and the parents. It was so fun to

see my other little nice do a dance right after.

Hearing my families laughter during that show

was priceless... Thanks Aubrey for the great idea.

I know it was your daughter 2nd Birthday,

but you sure made it fun for the whole family.

Thank You again!

I'm so happy to be home and in my bed.

Hopefully I wont be sick again tonight. Crossing

our fingers.

Sick! Sick! Sick! AGAIN????

2010-11-24T00:14:00.000-08:00

Oy! On the 18th of November I was so super sick that

We had to go to the ER. I had Lower Abdominal pain.

It wasn't getting better it was getting worse.

I was burning up and had a fever (at least I felt like it).

My migraines were also getting worse. I had a hurt ear

with the migraine two days before we left Mexico. I assumed it

was just another ear infection, but wanted to weigh it out.

Well... I waited till I was too sick to cope with it any longer.

We didn't go to the hospital near us. I have had nothing but

back luck with it. So we drove to Mckay dee hospital.

It was 100% better. (Besides my nurse that didn't know how to

take my blood. First she had the band on WAY too tight.

Then she was taking blue blood and not red. Then on top

of it she burst my artery in my right arm. It HURT! Then

she goes to my left arm and tries to stick the IV in and misses

then she moves the needle around and can't get it in right

(AGAIN). Then she gets it. Starts the IV and dopes me

up with benadryl and I can't remember the other pain

medication she gave me. All I know is it left a funny taste in

my mouth and reminded me of finger nail polish remover.

I was so dizzy and felt so sick after. It wasn't a pleasant feeling

at all. I wanted nothing but to fall asleep and get this out

of my system. My husband was up with me... It was one AM

by this time.

The doctor was concerned I might have a UTI. All due to

the fever and cold chills with hot flashes.

I did a urine test. Then they took me to check on the

baby. Also to see if I had anything that burst to

create such a terrible pain. The baby was fine and had

a great heart beat. When 430AM rolled around the

doctor came in and told us the test looked fine, the baby

was fine, nothing looked not normal. He mentioned that

I probably pulled a muscle. Also pregnancy growing pains

aren't fun to go a long with it. He sent us home. While I felt

sicker then from when we came. Oy! Not a fun night.

As I laid in bed. I only created fear. Fear of going into

labor in the future, knowing this pain

was going to be 20 times worse.

I do not look forward to giving birth being in so much pain.

I couldn't even handle this medication very well. I know

I didn't even like being in any kind of hospital.

If I had one wish it would be to have the baby

magically apear in my arms. I think they could put me

out for that, then wake me up when it's all over. lol!

One thing I know about myself is. I do NOT do well

with any kind of physical pain. I could when I was

younger, but the older I get the weaker I get. OY!

I was sad to see we didn't get home till 5 AM Knowing

Kenton had work in the morning. I was just happy

I wasn't in pain anymore.

On the 19th I was so high on the medications I agreed to

watching my nieces. So that my sister Aubrey and Adam

could go out for a date night. I didn't start feeling sick sick

again till the next day on the 20th. During the time we were practicing

singing for our 10 virgin play. I left and told Kenton

I really needed a doctor. I called Urgent care and they

got us in right away (at noon). He checked everything...

When I told him my symptoms. He said "Yep looks like

a bad ear infection and a bad throat infection". Gave me

antibiotics and went home. What a glorious way

to live! I remember him weighing me. I've

lost .6 pounds since I saw our OB. WHAT! I can't

keep losing weight. I'm going to be a nothing soon enough.

By this time it was the 20th. My dad has been having

a memory loss. Which is fine, I love him anyways.

We've talked 3 times about how I wasn't going to

make it due to financial issues. He said "that's ok

I would love it if you would come to Thanksgiving".

We were planning on just coming to Thanksgiving.

(Not like I could have made it if we had the money

seeing how sick I was). Well it caused a huge family

dispute and for some reason I was the victim. Not feeling

well... I didn't handle the situation very well. That night

I went to take a bath, got out, Threw up and then passed out.

Bad night!

After a day I was so sick I called my mom at 6 am in the morning

and she said "sounds like you have the flu on top of what

you already have." Not

the exact words I wanted to hear. She calmed

me down and mentioned the foods I should take.

Her orders was to get plenty of rest with lots of liquids.

Just to break it down. I finally feel back to sleep at 8AM

Woke up at 1PM and couldn't get out of bed.

Text my sister then text my mom. Mom mentioned

she would run to get me a Jamba, but had to be

back soon. I was so happy my mom rescued me.

I was so sick I couldn't get out of bed for the life of me.

After I had a Jamba I was feeling like my baby wasn't mad

at me anymore. I was on the couch watching

"Desperate house wives". I do not feel guilty

for catching up on a good show. I think I finished season 6 in

two days lol! I love Hulu!

On the 24th I thought I was doing better. We

did errands for Thanksgiving and then I was

finally done and wanted to just go home and do

nothing but rest. I believe this is called "Over doing it".

I made a pie then turned Desperate house wives.

Knowing I was going to be in bed for quite awhile.

Started to feel super sick again and threw up.

I was so happy my husband was home.

I just hope that tomorrow for Thanksgiving will

be a much better day.

I need to specially thank My doctors, antibiotics,

my wonderful supportive husband, who has done more

then love me, he is a care giver too. Who stayed up with

me for long hours at the hospital and the doctors. He does more

then just take care of me. (He also does laundry and

dishes). I love you honey!

I wanted to thank my mom for being here for me.

I know I have a hard time using the word "Can you

Please help me." I don't know why it is so hard to

say. I'm just happy she has been just a phone call away.

I love you mommy!

Reilly's first trip to the groomer

2010-11-08T00:40:00.000-08:00

This was our puppy before he got his Hair cut.

He was one shaggy/Matted dog.

He really needed a hair cut. I told Kenton if

he paid for the shots for the dog. Then I would

pay for the dog to get groomed. Such a smelly little doggy.

When we went in I warned the lady that Reilly

did NOT like brushes and he REALLY didn't like

the razor/ hair clippers. He will freak out to the max.

She said "Don't worry, he's still a puppy. These things just

get getting used too." I told her again. "You really don't

know my dog. He does NOT like them.

Well come to find out when we walked in. She was

struggling with our little pup like no other. It had been

three hours and she was struggling big time with him.

I assume he was trying to bite her, because we found

him like this with a muzzle on his mouth. I just

laughed and was thinking... "that poor girl". lol!

Yet she did say "he's just a pup and he needs to

take time and get used to it". She looked like she wanted to

hand me the dog and say "You have a menace for a dog.

Please take him". lol!

I asked her how he did in the tub. She told me that

he was freaking out. I assumed he would be just

fine in the tub. He always let us bathe him

just fine. I don't think I've ever had a problem

bathing my dog. I wonder if she was using really

cold water. I'm sure any dog would hate cold water.

Poor puppy!

When we left to go walk around the store.

We found that the girl asked for assistance.

I did tell her he REALLY hates to be touched

on his face. He hates it to the extreme. I'm

Thinking she now knows what I was talking

about. The assistant was holding Reilly

While the other girl was cutting. Something

that would have been a five minute job, became

a 30 min. job. Poor girls!

When Reilly was all done. I got him a sweater

and he smelled just like sugar cookies. His

Breath smelled so much better after they brushed

his teeth. I think they should brush his teeth all

the time. That is wonderful! YAY!!! No

doggie breath. :0) Kenton Loves his new doggie

hair cut and also the fact that he wasn't matted anymore.

Plus he smelled so good.

I miss the brown and black on his fur. This is

going to take some getting used to.

He doesn't look like our dog. But he sure

acts like it.

Mexico Trip!

2010-11-06T23:46:00.000-07:00

We enjoyed our Mexico trip with Kenton's parents.

I will always remember our trip to beautiful Mexico.

Kenton and his Dad chilling out on the deck. They loved site

seeing while we were in Mexico. :0)

On Halloween they decorated out by the restaurant to look a little

festive. I never thought I would see ghost hanging from palm trees.

My favorite drink to have in Mexico was my Coca cola light.

You will never know how much that filled me with joy.

During my days there. We went and walked around this

city. It was fun to see the wonderful town. The people

live so differently from America. They actually spend their

days outdoors, greeting with their neighbors. So peaceful!

I loved these fish taco's we had at this place. I LOVE a little

spice with some fish during my days there.

16 weeks pregnant.

Enjoying the beach. It's kind of hard walking

all over these rocks being pregnant and my shoes were

not helping much.

This was my favorite city. If you look behind us you can

see the very pretty palm trees with the clearer ocean.

This guy did some amazing things with this fire and glass.

He made this glass sculpture that you see below

Kenton bought this lizard glass sculpture.

It is so cute! Kenton's going to be putting

it on his desk at work. :0)

Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). November 2nd.

I never knew they celebrated dead people.

This was a pretty neat sand sculpture. :0)

One of the many Sunsets we got to see in Mexico.

Sigh! I just LOVE it!

Mexico Part 2

2010-11-06T23:43:00.000-07:00

I don't know why I strain my neck like this... lol!

Oh well... I do have to say I was totally addicted to

these popsicles in Mexico. I Had to have one everyday.

This one is a coco/agua popsicle.

They even add real coconut to it. Kenton liked any of the fruit ones.

Like strawberry, banana, and kiwi was his favorite. I so want to

learn how to make these. Yummy!!!

Funny story about this day. We were out getting

some candy and these three preppy guys in a fancy car

were making cat calls to me in spanish. I have no idea what

they were saying, but I was so stopping traffic. I started

laughing like crazy. I think it gave Kenton a boost of

"Yeah I know my girl is hot". lol!

Weird statues by the ocean. We just had to get a comedy

picture. lol!

I'm looking a little prego in this picture.

16 weeks pregnant to be exact. :0)

At our hotel there were these cute turtles and pretty fish.

We would come down and feed them. They were

so friendly. This hotel was absolutely stunning.

I tried to lighten this picture some. This was the beach just outside

of our hotel. This was the last sunset before we left back home.

What a great way to remember Mexico by.

I wouldn't mind doing another Mexico trip in the near future. :0)

Alysa's Baby

2010-11-02T00:02:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to

Alysa and DJ on their new little bundle of joy!

I must give Credit to Jessica on taking some beautiful

pictures of my new little niece. We were in Mexico

and couldn't be their to see her in the hospital.

My dad had Jess email him the pictures of this

cute baby and he forward them to me. I'm so happy

that we were able to see this little Angel. I just couldn't

wait any longer.

She was 7 pounds 8 oz 20 inches long

born at 7:40AM

She is definitely a little doll!

I have seen her twice now. But I keep forgetting

to take pictures. Talk about my pregnancy brain

lately. lol!

Halloween

2010-10-30T00:08:00.000-07:00

Oh Halloween... The time to dress up! The time

to be something else. The time to have a little fun.

Kenton and I enjoyed this halloween. We didn't do much.

Just used some black hair spray for Kenton's hair. Then placed

a little black make-up for the final touch.

I went as a baseball player. Kenton went as something evil.

Ha Ha Ha! We were going to be some kind of vampires.

Then decided to go simple. I Love Halloween.

We decided to go to mom's Ward Halloween Trunk or Treat

this year. It was fun to have the family there.

We sure missed having Alysa there.

We Gathered a bag of candy, bought a cheap bucket

and went. Those kids were so cute coming up and

saying "Trick or Treat". I was trying to be funny

with some of them by saying "Trick or Treat, give you

something good to eat?" Majority of these kids laughed.

I loved having My sis McKenzie help me for a little bit.

She is super cute. I think the kids enjoyed our little

puppy. I feel bad because he got his shots today.

Sigh! He did great though.

I need to quickly add how sad I was that the lady

we bought our puppy from told us he had his

first shots already. Only to find out that he didn't.

She told us the clinic and they said they have no

record of her doing that. Plus the doctor only had

a de-worm and getting it's tail docked. Those

were the only things he had at that doctor. Sigh!

OH well... We got him super cheap anyways...

He had his last baby tooth pulled out. He was

such a good boy. I know we brought Reilly

because of an allergy warning and he couldn't be left

alone for 48 hours. I'm so glad we brought him

to trunk or treat. The kids just LOVED him.

My favorite part of the day was...

My cute little Micky and Minnie mouse Niece's.

They are super adorable. The youngest one would

say "No Reilly, No!" They know he gets hyper with

them. I don't think they are used to having a puppy

around. Don't worry girls. I'm not either.

I'm used to mellow older dogs. lol!

I love you girls!

Later that day we went home and finished packing.

For our Mexico trip. We were up until 1 AM

packing. I wanted to make sure we weren't

forgetting anything. Even though we

weren't going to be taking a whole lot.

I am so glad I took that picture of my phone

of a picture off my digital camera of Kenton

and I. I took it so I could post it right away

on my phone to Facebook.

I am super sad because... I left my Camera

on the shuttle in Mexico. Then we got our rental

car. I was so out of it. I couldn't remember where

I saw it last. Well in Mexico if you leave something.

It's then considered it a gift or some kind of

payment. Blah! I can't believe I left my camera.

At least I stole that picture off of it. :0)

Lemon Baby 14 Weeks pregnant

2010-10-21T12:00:00.000-07:00

I just read the most funniest thing this morning and

I had to share. I read that My baby is the size of a lemon.

If I hold my fist tight. I can see how big my baby is.

It's always fun to see how big the baby grows in

such a short amount of time. It's neat to see at 7 1/2 weeks

our little baby was the size of a gummy bear when we found

out. Now it's the size of a Lemon. So cute!!! I feel like i've slept

majority of my 1st trimester. I'm so glad I was never really got sick,

Just REALLY tired all the time. It's bad, because I didn't feel

like I accomplished much during that time.

Can you say "Baby hibernation",

that's what I'm going to call it from now on.

I also read today that baby Jeffery is developing the roof

of it's little mouth inside. It's intestines are producing

meconium (it's waste that will make up the baby's first

bowel movement.) Makes me think I should probably go buy

diapers. Then I could check that off my list of things to get. lol!

The baby is sporting a downy coating of hair that keeps it

nice and warm. This makes me think of King Kong or

Mighty Joe young. I have a little monkey in my tummy at the

moment. I'm glad they are not born a hairy little baby. Even

though I have heard of some babies that are born VERY

hairy and they never get rid of it. That is one scary thought.

Lets just pray that doesn't happy to little baby Jeffery.

I'm happy to read that baby fat is going to accumulate

over the next few months. That way the hair will start to

shed off as it starts getting that cute little baby rolls.

I love the cute little baby fat all over the little one.

Kind of makes you want to cuddle with the little baby

and give it plenty of kisses on it's cute little chubby cheeks.

Makes the Grandma's Want to kiss those lovable cheeks as well.
