Sleep: Not too bad this past week; trying to sneak in some naps too. :)
Best moment this week: Every now and then, we let Owen sleep in our bed. On Saturday morning, I woke up to him gently touching my cheek and kissing my nose. He had THE biggest smile on his face (the kind where his eyes look closed), and I swear I didn't think I could love that kid any more at that moment.
Movement: Always!
Symptoms: Low back pain.
Symptoms I DON'T have: Nocturia and nausea.
Food cravings: Cheese pizza and cinnamon anything (cinnamon rolls, churros...I even put a pinch of cinnamon in my coffee).
Food aversions: Nothing at the moment.

Labor Signs: None.
Belly Button in or out?: Flat.
What I miss: Staaarting to miss sushi. 
What I am looking forward to: Date night on Saturday!



Yesterday, we celebrated my cousin Samiya's 6th birthday! As usual, Owen spent a majority of the time in the bounce house. We had to drag him out every so often to make sure he was hydrated.

Missing Keyan! I think he was inside watching TV.

He didn't like me watching him, since I was telling him to be careful and to watch out for the bigger kids...so whenever he saw me creeping up, he'd quickly go up to me and say, "Mama, go there!", as in, "Mama, go away!" Okay, bye...


Waiting for the piñata with cousin-twin Elijah.

One day, I will get a good photo of both of them looking at the camera with smiles on their faces...one day.

With my goddaughter Kaela (I swear she loves me).

Happy Birthday, Princess Miya! Thanks for having us!


And today, we woke up bright and early to go to Disneyland. First thing we did was have breakfast at Carnation Cafe.




Mickey waffles are always a hit with this guy. He ate almost everything on his plate and even stole my strawberries.

As soon as we finished, it started to RAIN. We weren't expecting it at all, so we quickly ran next door and waited in one of the stores. Owen didn't mind. He got a little chummy with Mickey, Pooh, and Baymax.


Once it cleared up, we went on as many rides as we could. The rain was actually a blessing because we did not wait more than 10-15 minutes for any ride.




The Mad Tea Party rmaaay be Owen's new favorite ride (behind the Pooh Bear ride, of course).




Around noon, we noticed that Owen was getting tired; so we figured we'd grab lunch and head home.

Dessert before lunch - Grey Stuff Twist at Maurice's Treats. It was okay...I'd rather get the Cheddar Garlic Twist.

I was craving cheese (surprise, surprise...), so we ate at Pizza Port.

Owen ate an entire slice (minus the crust). The kid has a big appetite.


Before we left, we bought Owen a Mickey Mouse - can you believe it has taken us almost 2.5 years to get him his own Mickey?! Well, to be honest, his Mickey obsession only started this year.

Make way, Pooh Bear!

Ralph didn't want to leave just yet, so we walked around Downtown Disney. We thought Owen would fall asleep during the walk, but he stayed awake the whole time.


We almost forgot that there was a Sprinkles at DTD. So, of course...

...we got some to-go. Hey, I waited like an hour after we got home to eat it, okay? Don't judge me.

Now, Owen's passed out in his room (with both Pooh and Mickey), and Ralph and I are downstairs waiting for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals to start. And yes...we're still salty about the Preds eliminating the Ducks, so we're hoping the Pens end it tonight, lol.

Until next time!
