I think i am now in that they call the "nesting" stage! That darned nesting stage.

I have the urge to BUY EVERYTHING! I want it all! Shelves, cribs, colors, and more and more and more! Obviously I dont need it all but I want it all. Ha. I went and picked up all the stuff from Kristin's and now we have a full closet of things for her. I cant wait!

So... for Christmas Juan and I thought long and hard on what we wanted to give Andrea. She is my baby sister after all and she means the world to us. So after talking it out we decided that we were giving her a ring with our babies name engraved inside. She would be the very first to know babies full name. We made her a card. and along with the ring we gave her a card that informed her that we wanted her to be babies Godmother. Ok.. so I know that we are not Italian, but.... I love this idea and I wanted to do it with each of my kids sense I was  younger. It doesnt mean that she will be responsible of her if we die, but it means that we want her to be a spiritual guider for baby. The one that baby will go to for spiritual guidance. Andrea would be in charge of planning out the baby blessing, baptism, and be there for all of babies big things. She loved it!! and I couldnt have asked for a better sister!

So... now that she knows the name I can announce it ...... and .... its...... baby Makaila Callait Diaz de Leon. Juan wants to call her Kai (ky) and I want Callait. We will see who wins. haha but that is what she will be called.

Now that we have her name I want to find the letters to put on her wall.... Where does one find those? ive looked and cant find some that im in love with yet. We want just white. no colorful ones, just white white. If anyone knows where to get them let me know!
We have colors picked out and crib picked out and name picked out... so we are on our way to beign ready for Makaila to come home! 4 months left!!!!! yay!!!

Good tithings to all

I was being so good at this blogging thing until I got preggos and now I'm terrible, my apologize.

But as for updates
Well... living with the in laws has been nice. Im really grateful for them and all they do for us sense they really didnt have to do all this for us. They are awesome.

I had to quit jetblue, I couldnt do both. My job at alpine air was in trouble so I had to just stick to one for now. But im thinking about finding something small during the day around here somewhere close to home. traveling all the way to slat lake was a little to much and the weather is bad this year around.

Juan has been working well his on break at this dog resort by the house. Im fully jealous of him. He gets to play and feed dogs all day long!! ummm is there a better job?? So he has been busy as well with his that.

One of Lindas puppies we got to keep... Our in laws wanted a puppy so we ended up gifting him to them. He is soooo super cute! but he is a wild thing. Now that we live together I get to try and train him a little which is fun, but I miss my layla mae. I cant wait for the day that I can take her with me to our home where ever that might be.

pregnancy is sooo much better! no complaints really... last night was a little rough. I had serious pains on the lower part which seemed like contractions but I dont actually know how contractions feel like. But other than that. I can now eat, im not as tired all the time, and my head aches are at a minimal. I just can bend down as easy now days. And the kicking!!!! omg the kicking is incredible. I told Juan that she will be like him sense she is constantly awake and kicking. But its beautiful. She is my baby so I couldnt be any happier.

Christmas was a blast! We were able to spend time with both families and open present with both. Baby got tuns of things which I am so grateful for because as a mommy now that is all i want
I still haven't gotten Juan his gift but his birthday is the 5 of January so I figure ill give myself a little more time and do all presents at once. Im still trying to figure out the perfect present!
At the end of all our christmas fun I am just so grateful that we have this amazing and strong family that we do. My loving and supportive parents and his giving and understanding parents. Baby is super blessed to be coming to tihis family and I am so super excited to have her here with me next year!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!

Working hard? or hardly working???

O man I hate that saying....
Working hard??? or hardly working????
Its annoying...


But... here is why I say..
I got a job. Another job.
I had applied at Jetblue Airlines about a month ago, and I got the job!!!
I was thinking of quitting my job right now. Working at night is slightly a bumber. And hubby wanted me to quit and find a normal job.
So before just up and quitting, I found a new job.
The more I thought about it though, I realized how much this job benefits US right now.

*Side note:

I AM SOOOOO PROUD OF HUBBY!!! Im lucky. I know that everyone says that about their spouse, but im seriously lucky lucky lucky. He is so hard working and does his best to be his best. He is doing so good in school and with finals around the corner he has been working so hard. He just got chosen to be the TA for his dentist class which is hard to get. And His GPA is high so if he gets A's this semester then we are almost there to being able to go to any dentist school he wants. And what does he want??


U of U!!!! YES!!
they just opened a new dentist school!!
WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO
You have no idea how amazing that is!!!
Now the pressure is on to get good grades and get accepted..
So wish us luck!! **

Anyway my job helps us right now. And once baby is here I think it will be nice. Juan will be home at night obviously and can tend to baby and I will be home days so no babysitter or day care. I still work, he still goes to school and all is well :)
But I decided I want to at least do the training for Jetblue and then decide what I want to do.
Jet blue would be nice. I work from home and get great benefits with amazing free tickets to where ever they fly! Sucky part is training in Salt Lake for a full month :( but hey ill make it work!

well that is my update for now! all is well

Yours truly 

baby baby baby!

O boy...

Actually o Girl!!

Yep its for sure its a girl. :) I had gone in for an ultrasound at 16 weeks just so I could find out early, but I didnt want to make it public until we got out "real" doctors appointed ultrasound to make sure. She is a little baby papaya girl right now.
She is developing well and is an amazing kicker. Her head is positioned down now and I think it might be getting tight in there sense I can feel her pushing up against my tummy (giving hubby a good laugh to see me belly all lopsided) Its been super exciting to start preparing for baby gal. Buying clothes, looking at cribs, deciding on cribs, and figuring out her name....

How do you decide????
I cant even decide what to eat most days...
let alone baby D name!

I like different names, hubby hates different names
We need a name that sounds good in Spanish and English
And I feel a sense of pressure to decide soon before someone else takes the name we want.

But here is what we have decided...

• colors!! yay!

Im in LOVE with gray, 

Gray with aqua blue

gray with peach

gray with yellow

you name it! GRAY!

So obviously given that I am obsessed with gray, I chose a soft pallet of light pink, peach, and gray. 

• Crib! We know what we want finally, after looking for ever!

We are going with the light walls (not sure if white or light peach) 

and the cool gray color of this crib. 

I like the simple look of no bumper or stuff.. so I want just a white cute girly blanket and a peach 

sheet with some cute stuffed animal of sorts. 

As for a name... we have a small list of a handful we like. Cant decide what one I like the most yet. 

Zoee is my middle name and everyone seems to like that. 

Mae has always been my favorite middle name. 

Makayla/ Mikyla sound good in both Spanish and English so our families can pronounce it. 

and Caillat.. Yes like Colbie Caillat... But just Caillat. 

I might spell it differently... maybe not. but so far that is what we both can agree on. 

Funny though. We have agreed on a boy name. haha even though Its not a boy but for our boy we have it picked out. I cant tell so that nobody takes it. But we have agreed on his name :) 

Well that is baby up load for now. Cant wait to get baby out of the tummy and into our arms! 

Yours Truly,
