•How big is baby?: The size of a head of lettuce (13.6-14.8 inches, 1.5-2.2 lbs)

•Maternity clothes?: Still no

•Best Moment this week: Savannah has been talking about the baby and kissing my belly. So cute!

•Milestone: This isn't really a milestone, but I took the glucose test at my doctor's appointment the other week to check for gestational diabetes. Everything came back normal. When I was pregnant with Savannah my  test came back irregular so I had go back for a 3 hour test! Thankfully that didn't happen again.

Also, I'm in the double digits now!!! Only 98 days to go!!

It's Official

I'm a California resident!!

 I covered up my info so you guys don't steal my identity (and because my picture looks less than appealing). 

It was quite a journey getting this stinkin' card. I initially made an appointment to take the written test, which I studied for and I know that sounds totally lame but I wanted to make sure I passed. So I called the DMV and asked what I needed to bring with me to the appointment in order to get a CA license. I was told I only needed my current license. Done! I show up to my appointment and they're like "we need to see your passport or birth certificate." I'm like "uhh...you're kidding right?" They weren't kidding. Luckily (but still unfortunately) they let me run home real quick, grab my passport, and still keep my appointment. For all you non-parents out there, "real quick" isn't all that quick or easy with a young child. 

So I get back to the DMV, show them my passport, and everything's all good. I wait for my number to be called and go to the appropriate window. Then this guy's like "do you have your marriage certificate with you?" KILL ME! My passport has my maiden name on it so they can't issue me a license without proof of my name change. Luckily, they still let me take the written test (which I did pass) and fill out all the paperwork I needed to. They even took my picture for the new license. Now all I needed to do was bring my marriage certificate in later in order for my license to be issued. 

Fast forward about 3 weeks. I had another appointment at the DMV and had my marriage certificate in hand. I specifically didn't put on make-up that day since they already took my picture for my license. First of all, we were there FOREVER! And Savannah was not a happy camper. And then, they made me take another picture! I was horrified! And there's no way I'm going back to the DMV just to get a new picture taken while I have make-up on, so now I'm stuck with this one :( 

At least it's all done now I guess, even if I do have to show people that hideous picture from time to time. 

My number 1 tip on going to the DMV? Make an appointment!! Seriously, people wait in line for like an hour just to get to the front desk. Why would you not make an appointment? It just makes sense. Also, try not to go with your children, although that's not always possible.

20 weeks!

20 weeks down, 20 weeks to go!

•How far along?: 20 weeks, 2 days

•Total weight gain: 10 pounds!

•How big is baby?: The size of a banana (about 6.5 inches, 10.2 ounces) 

•Maternity clothes?: I could use some, but the maternity clothes don't fit either. I'm basically wearing t-shirts and gym shorts every day. Someone needs to start making "teen mom" size maternity clothes. 

•Movement: I'm finally feeling this little guy, but it's not enough for Greg to be able to feel him.

•Stretch marks?: no ma'am

•Sleep?: i could always use more, but I'm getting a solid 8-9 hours every night

•Symptoms?: Luckily, none

•Food cravings: dessert...but that's not because of the pregnancy :)

•What I miss: Being able to shop for clothes. Nothing fits me :(

•What I'm looking forward to: Decorating the nursery with boy stuff!

•Best Moment this week: Feeling the baby move

•Milestone: I'm halfway through this pregnancy!! Unfortunately, the second half goes by much slower.

Happy Birthday!

I can't believe Savannah's 2!! She's growing up so fast.

She's weighing in at 27.9 pounds and stands 2'9" tall.

My mom flew into town to celebrate her birthday with us. 

We had so much fun going to Disneyland. It was mine and Savannah's first time!

 We had to get Savannah some Mickey ears

Greg tried to get the sword out of the stone

 And then he tried really, really hard

 Quick intermission for a nap

This was probably Savannah's favorite ride, It's A Small World

Savannah wasn't too sure what to think about Jessie 

 Minnie's House

It got really cold once the sun went down

 And dinner time!

Easter Egg Hunt

So I feel like Greg and I hardly take Savannah to do anything fun (other than the park, which she does love). So while Savannah and I were walking to the post office one afternoon (2 miles!), I saw a sign for a free Easter egg hunt at a local church. YAY! We had something to do on the weekend! It's was so much fun. There were games, food, prizes, food, face painting, food, and of course the egg hunt. Can you guess which part was my favorite? 

 Savannah loves to jump

 She made her own rules for the bean bag toss

My Pregnancy So Far

Well, first of all, this pregnancy has been sooo much different than the first. With Savannah, I couldn't keep any food down and I was exhausted the entire 1st trimester. This time I didn't have any morning sickness and I've generally felt really good. I'm so grateful that I haven't been sick, because this time around I wouldn't be able to just lay in bed all day.

 Ultrasound at 12 weeks 5 days
