Where has this pregnancy gone?

I seriously feel like this pregnancy has flown by. I think it's because I have Savannah to keep me busy and since I never had morning sickness, I didn't even feel pregnant in the beginning. With the first pregnancy, it's all I could think about so time went by so slowly. I can't believe I have less than 2 months left! I guess I'd better start getting some clothes for this kid. We've started decorating his side of the room at least (oh yes, the kiddos are sharing a room). I'll post a picture once we have his crib bedding (I don't think Greg would appreciate this boy sleeping on pink hand-me-down's from Savannah)

•Movement: So much! It's getting uncomfortable 

•Stretch marks?: no

•Sleep?: Still being spoiled with 10 hours every night

•Symptoms?: The heartburn is actually backing off now

•Food cravings: Crunchy stuff

•What I miss: Being able to bend over without losing my breath and bladder control...tmi?

•What I'm looking forward to: Losing this belly!

•Best Moment this week: Seeing the baby again. I've actually been super lucky and I get to have an ultrasound at every Dr's appointment. I'm running out of places to put all the pictures! With Savannah I think I only got 3 ultrasounds.

•Best Moment this week: I've been having all these ideas for things to sew for the baby and I finally did something about it. I made our little buddy a carseat cover! And I think it turned out really cute. I LOVE the fabric!

•Milestone: A few weeks ago my doc told me that the placenta was low and it could lead to placenta previa. At this week's appointment she checked on it and the placenta has moved up!! Thank goodness!

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'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.
