Savannah's first trip out was to Costco. She did great. She does pretty well in the car. We also took her to Target, which she will soon find out is one of our favorite places!
Grandma Helen, Michelle, and Denise, came over for her first official bath. She did pretty good, but at the end decided to give us a surprise poo. It was hilarious!
On Monday the 8th, I went to dinner with my sister and my best friend Danielle. I started having some cramps but they weren't bad and I've been feeling little cramps for the past couple of weeks. After dinner, I went home and around 1030, they started getting a bit stronger. I started keeping track of the contractions and they were happening about every 10 minutes or so. Around 2 am, (the 9th) they started to get stronger and coming quicker so we went to the hospital. When I get there they checked me and said I was in active labor and only 2 cm dilated and sent me home. I came home and slept for a few hours and around 1:00pm, the pain was too much so we went back to the hospital. When I got there, they checked me again and I was dilated at a 6!! I asked for the epidural ASAP because it HURT!! After about an hour, I FINALLY got the epidural and it was the best thing EVER! I started pushing around 430ish and Savannah was born at 5:29pm on November 9th, 2010. She weighed 7lb 11oz and was 21 in long. It was the best feeling ever holding her for the first time! I was instantly in love!
So I'm feeling a lot bigger all of a sudden. I swear that I've popped out like crazy this last month! If this continues, I'm going to be HUGE by the time she gets here. Only 3.5 months to go! Crazy how time is flying by. Before we know it she's going to be here. She's kicking a lot more and it's getting harder to move around. I'm starting to feel it in my back now and that's not fun. Doctor said she had long legs and I can definitely feel them on my right side. We started getting stuff ready for the nursery so hopefully we can finish that soon!
We finally settled on nursery furniture! Love the color...should go really good with her room colors which are shades of pinks and browns.
I finally found some doggy steps for my little dog Coco. I looked everywhere but they have ugly ones. I found this one on a website for $20! I wish it came in dark wood, but Blake is going to paint it! We bought it for our room because our bed is high and I hate seeing her jump down from it. She was scared at first but she went up and down it like champ!
Today is our two year wedding anniversary! We've actually been together for almost 9 years....that's a long time! When Blake got home from work we went to Friday's and I LOVE their Jack Daniels steak. It's soooo yummy. Afterwards we went to get some ice cream then took our furry babies for a walk and now we're going to watch a movie! I have a pretty awesome hubby. So glad I found such a great guy! Here's some pics from our wedding and honeymoon.We took a 7 day cruise
I'm feeling the baby move more and more now and I love it. It's kinda cool, but some of them really do catch me by surprise! I'm glad I'm able to feel her move around more. I think it's going to be super weird to see a foot or arm poking out. I still can't believe I'm already half way done...I can't wait for her to get here!!
I had a great bday this year. It's on the 4th so we had a BBQ with family and friends at Blake's parents house. My bestie Danielle gave me the cutest baby clothes for our little girl and Blake's mom gave me the cutest scrap book. (I've noticed that my gifts are gifts for the baby now, lol) Danielle and I decided last minute that we would take her boyfriend to Sacramento for his fire academy. It was a LONG trip but we had fun!
I'm officially half way done with my pregnancy. It's going by so fast and I can't wait for my little girl to come already! I'm so glad we're having a girl because ALL of my friends have boys so she will be one of the only girls but I'm sure she won't mind. We haven't settled on a name yet but we're thinking it's going to be Savannah. I love that name and it's not very common.
I started my registries at a few places. I know it's early but my bestie Danielle and I went and we did it. We have to go back and finish and prob start over and add things, but it was still fun doing it! One thing that I registered for that I can't wait for her to try out is the Bright Starts Comfort and Harmony Bouncer. I've heard these are great!
I had my nieces over again and we went shopping for our nursery furniture. We found the biggest bean bag and decided to rest on it. I love having them come over. It's always so much fun. They even have helped me clean out our office and get it ready for it to become the nursery!
I went to the Playboy Mansion for their Kandyland party last Saturday and it was a blast. It will be my last one for a while. I still can't believe I went at 5 months prego! Pics will not be posted of that, lol!
I absolutely love sushi and since I'm pregnant and I can't get my normal rolls, I've had to settle for different rolls like veggie and other ones. We went to our fav sushi place called Momo's and I had the Corona Roll and it was soooo yummy! I think they have the best sushi and we've got to know the owner and she is so nice. They are always so nice to their customers and know everyone by name. I can't wait til I can have my regular rolls again. p.s. Can you tell all I ever think about nowadays is food!
