MILESTONE! 35/35. Plus a Mommy Makeover.

How far along: 35/35! That's 35 weeks down and 35 days to go as of yesterday, so today I am one day closer. Thank god.

How big is baby: Giant. The Bump changed up their fruit system so I get a new one every week now and this week, B is a butternut squash. I wish she had the temperament of a butternut squash...instead I feel like I'm gestating an angry raccoon.

Total weight gain: I don't want to know.

Sleep: I didn't think it could possibly get any worse. And then it did.

Maternity Clothes: Yep.

Food cravings : Chocolate milk.

Food aversions: Nothing.

Challenges: Moving. Sitting. Smiling.

Movement: *cries*

Boy or Girl?: Hopefully still a girl.

What I’m looking forward to: Guess.

What I miss: Ugh.

Next appt: Next Wednesday. GBS test! Wheeee!

Obligatory belly pic complete with hip new mom hair!:

Now about my hair. M and I paid a visit to M's sister (my sister-in-law and Betty's aunt) J, who just so happens to also be my very awesome hair stylist. I have been feeling more than a little down on myself lately, what with all the largeness that is going on over here. I was hoping that maybe a little makeover would help with my self esteem.

So J cut some bangs again (she did them for me once before and I loved them) and trimmed a little off the bottom as well...this pregnancy has my hair growing like a weed. Then we started making plans for whatever fabulous dye-job we are going to try after B arrives. It really helped! While I still feel like a big pile of hot garbage for 90% of the day, I look at least a little more like a hot mom now. :)

She probably won't read this, but she really is a lifesaver. Betty is lucky to have such a cool aunt!

  7. Whether you believe it or not you always look like a hot mom! I love the bangs, love them! I keep debating the snip but in the end I think I might have to wait. Weather is warm here already and we know how fun "sweaty" bangs can be. The cut looks great and I can't wait until you can be comfortable again and holding little Betty in your arms instead of your belly.

  10. You look so good. Seriously it looks like you're just smuggling a watermelon. Your legs, arms and booty are still in great shape. What's your secret? Because I'm going to be needing it. :-)
    Love the new look. So excited for you!

  11. HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! I am so happy to be here at this blog with you. And of course, you know me.... I pissed myself when I saw your due date, because that was my dd with Jason (also his birthday), which if I remember correctly is just days before your own birthday!! Whoop, Whoop! Congrats, my friend.
