What our Baby Will Look Like

So, I am bored, and don't want to go to bed yet...so I started playing around with something called 'Morph Thing'. It combines pictures of mark and I to see what our child will look like...funny!

This is what our daughter will look like...I can see it.

This is what our Son will look like...I can see this too.. Kind of looks like one of marks cousins.

But this! This is really scary! What gender is it? No sure. This is our child as an adult...yikes! hahaha!

Baby Room on my Mind

So since finding out that we will be having a little girl, all I can think of is what I want to decorate her room like! True, it is still months away...but I am excited! Mark and I had a deal, if the baby was a boy, then he would be able to choose the decorations. This would have ment 'sports memorabilia' would have be thrown up around the room. And if a girl, then I would choose the decorations. It feels good to win!

So here are some of my ideas. The theme is 'baby bird', because ever since I found out I was prego, I have been calling her 'my little baby bird'.
Color scheme: blue, yellow, and nuteral colors. I will throw in some dark pink or lavendar to make it more femine. This invitation displays more of the color scheme i am going for, minus the brown. I don't want it to be dark and drery, but light and calm. Painting the walls an egg shell or a light mocha brown.

Room decor and Layout: The below pictures are what I would like the room to look like more or less.This photo is what I want the feel of the room to look like, peaceful and bright. 

And this room displays the photo of the bird on the wall. The wall would have pictures of baby birds in my color scheme, and I would have to make the enviroment look soft. 

I am also going to attempt to paint a picture of a tree beside her crib. I have a lot of work ahead of me. But I am so excited! Can you tell?!

IT'S A GIRL!!!

Say hello to our baby girl! She is now weighing in at 11 oz., still scheduled for arrival on February 21st 2012 and perfectly healthy!

Mark and I are so excited. Though, Mark is still saying it is a boy (only because the doctor said that could happen with any girl prediction)...but i really do feel that it is a little girl. During the ultra sound, while the doctor was examining the legs and feet, I knew that it was a girl. Then the doctor confirmed that to me by saying "I don't see anything dangling and this looks like the parts of a girl."

I am so excited to have a baby girl. In this photo, though it does not do it justice due to it being a picture taken by my phone, it looks like she is smiling. She also opened up her mouth a few times to suck on her fist (an appetite like her mom and dad), and she was moving around like crazy! I think the doctor was getting a little annoyed with her because every time she would try to snap a picture, she would move again! I hope she is just getting out the jitters now so she can be calm and peaceful for mommy when she is out :) (as I am writing this, she is moving...wild woman!).

So...names. Mark and I are torn between, Amaya Tiana Ontiveros or Naomi Ella Ontiveros... so hard to come up with a name. We'll see what we feel her name should be as she grows. She is going to be so beautiful! I just know it! She is going to have her daddies gorgeous eyes!

Yay for Fall

My favorite season of the year is fall. I love the lower temperatures, I love halloween, I love the smell of pumpkin and cinnamon and I LOVE conference weekend. Conference was beautiful, and it is especially fun to know that you can stay in your pj's all day if you wish. Mark and I made breakfast this morning and enjoyed not having to be anywhere. It is just wonderful.

I usually get sad when conference is over because it will be another 6 months till we get to hear to words of the modern day prophets, but this time I was happy. I was excited with the thought that next conference in april, mark and I will have our new little family member. I love it! So excited.

This coming friday we find out the sex of the baby, we are rooting for a boy, which means we are probably having a girl...but either way, who would be unhappy with a girl?! So far, I am not liking being prego, it is exactly what I thought it would be like, but, makes me all the more excited to see my little sweetie.

I love fall, I can't wait to be in oregon in two weeks, there is just so much to look forward to!

2 years of Bliss

Happy 2 year anniversary to mark and I. Today was just a regular day due to it being the sabbath and we wanted to keep it holy. No going out, visited with family and enjoyed our sunday walk together...and it was wonderful. I love my husband. He is such a good man and is always trying to make me laugh and be happy. It is especially wonderful to have him by my side while I am going through the paronoia of pregnancy.

I have been worried because I have yet to feel the baby move and I am 18 1/2 weeks along. I am hearing that I won't expect to feel anything till at least 23 weeks, but I can't help but feel nervous about it. I also used my mother in laws stethascope to try to hear the babies heart beat and I didn't hear anything. This really left me discouraged today. After talking to my mom, and talking to mark, I feel a little better. Mark always places things into prespective for me, he is so wise. I know that I should not worry about the baby cause it will only add more stress for my little sweetie. I also need to not worry about things that I cannot control. I am just so excited about being a mother and I want to do everything that i can to bring this baby into the world healthy and safe. But I need to trust that it is all acording to the lords will. No matter what happens, I have a loving husband who supports me, protects me and helps me to be happy in this life, and that is all I need to focus on. Besides, I go to the doctors tomorrow...so I should feel better after that.

My Awww Moments

Okay, I am going to be cheesy for a minute.

My favorite thing thus far about being pregnant, is that every time Mark comes home from somewhere and gives me a kiss hello, he bends down to kiss my belly and says "hello baby". Makes me get teary eyed every time! He is so cute. He will also rub my belly every night while we go to sleep. He is going to be such a wonderful father, I just can't wait to see him with our little one.

On that note, here is the first item that Mark and I have purchased for the baby thus far. It is a bibb. When mark and i saw it at m&m world in vegas, we laughed. I pictured the bibb saying 'aw crap, i'm going to get dirty'...which is what I would say if I were a baby bibb...i know, i'm weird.
I'm excited to get more items, but I want to wait till we know what the sex is. We find out on October 7th. I just pray the baby is still developing correctly and is healthy.

Love the Birthday Boy!

My sweetheart has turned the big 25! He is now a quarter of a century old! I feel so old...haha. I am so grateful that he was born so he could be in my life forever! He is going to be the most wonderful father to our children because he is the most wonderful husband in the world!

We had a lot of fun on his birthday, kind of hard to celebrate the whole day due to work and school...but eventually we got our party on.

We went out to dinner with the Gardners (Jonathan and Alyssa) and then came home for some cupcakes. It was fun to get together with them, we always have some really funny discussions when they are around. Mark and Jonathan have been friends for a long time, which I am sure that will never cease. Mark even got a one free man date from Jonathan, I should be worried...but at least mark will enjoy himself? haha.

Though we will be celebrating more on saturday and sunday, it is always nice to have a quiet birthday celebration with just a couple friends, and besides...it is not just a birthDAY in the Onitveros family, it is a birthWEEK. I am excited for the day when we can celebrate with our children...hey, that is only next year! YAY!

I love my birthday boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
