Christmas 2010

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!


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!

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

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!

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!!!

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

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)
