New Do!

Well, it’s late for me, so this will be brief. Let’s see, what is new? Oh yeah, I chopped 10 & ½ inches off my hair. Yes, my hair is now really short. Really really short. But, I like it so that is what matters, right? Hubby will see it tomorrow night, I am sure any of you across the country will hear the scream when he sees it. He was not for me cutting it. But, my hair that was cut off was donated to Locks of Love. They make wigs for kids who are ill and lose all their hair due to illness. When Hubby gets home, and comes back to after fainting, I will have him upload the pictures. My friend Amanda and her sister went. Her sister also cut her hair and donated it to Locks of Love. Amanda wasn’t quite at her 10 inches, so she just got her hair cut short.

It’s very different! I am sure it will take me a few days to get used to. I am sure it’s going to take everyone a while to get used to since it’s such a change! We got the donation cuts for free. We were at a Beauty Salon/Store. So, I picked up some new fun nail polish for myself while I was there also. I painted my nails when I got home. Hubby says that I always stick to boring pinks and I never branch out. So, I branched out and got an OPI color called My Chihuahua Bites! It’s a red/pink/coral type color. Bright, great for summer and to go with a new SHORT sassy haircut!

Baby is growing like a weed. At least that is how I feel! I feel like every day my tummy gets bigger! I really don’t know how my body does all that stretching to make room for her.

I have decided not to go to Vegas in 2 weeks. I decided I feel much better staying at home and close to my doctor. I really notice a difference from when I put my feet up and rest and be lazy versus being up and walking around. Today, for instance, I worked 4 hours at Security Horizon. That is pretty much a sitting job. Then I came home, napped and relaxed and about 3pm got up and moving to go get my haircut. I met Amanda and her sister at 4pm at Panera Bread, where we had dinner. Their haircut appointment was for 5pm, mine was for 6pm. After my haircut I swung through Pottery Barn for Kids real quick and then headed for home. That was about 7pm. And just being up and moving for those 3 hours, I could feel my lower belly start to tighten. So, staying home from Vegas and forcing myself to take it easy right now really feels like the best thing for me to do.

Well, it’s late and so this pregnant lady should head to bed. I will get pictures of the new do out soon!
