Just Me and Baby

 Me at 30 Weeks in Moab, UT

As promised, a pregnant picture of me.  No mean comments please!  :)   I am now 33 weeks and am feeling great.  I have still been able to work full time and keep up with my kids.  Housework... now that's another story! 

I love hearing what people have to say about the size of my pregnant belly.   Yes, I am sure I am not having twins.  No, I do not have gestational diabetes.  Yes, maybe my "top half" will catch up with the bottom half.   Yes, my belly is getting so big.  Yes, I really do have that much longer.   There are plenty to more to share, I promise.
Although, my "favorite" comment came from my Hailey Bug, "Mom, you look like a bucket."  Thanks, I think!

Now I remember one of the reasons I get a little fussy at the end of my pregnancies!   Seriously people, I know how big and uncomfortable I look.  I have a mirror.  :)  

Baby is measuring big, but that is to be expected.  My other two girls weighed in at 9lbs 3oz and 8lbs 14oz.  Dr Y is predicting another 9 pounder based on my last ultrasound (estimated weight 2 weeks ago was 4lbs 1oz).  I love my big babies, I wouldn't know what to do with a tiny one.   Most importantly, everything looks great at this point.  We are on the countdown!

Brooklynn's New 'Do

Brooklynn has been blessed/cursed with thick, somewhat wavy hair.   When she was a baby, she had perfect little ringlets.  Nowadays, not so much.  Every morning before school, we battle with the curling iron, flat iron, or style it into a braid or bun.  It is seriously too much effort to tame this little lady's mane.  I love her long hair, but it had come to the point that it needed to be chopped or something.  Last week was spring break for her so we decided to do something about it.  I scheduled her for an appointment with my neighbor for a perm and... I LOVE IT!  Brooky was not so sure about the new style until her little cousins kept complimenting her about it.   Her hair shrunk up with the curls as you can see in the pictures, but has since relaxed quite a bit.  It looks adorable!  We went camping over the weekend and it was very low maintenance.  We wet her hair down every morning with a squirt bottle and she was looking adorable.  I wish I would have done it sooner!  Even Hailey is sold on the idea and wants to have her hair permed also.  I think I am going to hold off a little longer for her.  Monday was Brooklynn's  first day back at school with the new style and apparently her hair was a hit in the 1st grade!
