Baby Update

We went to the doctor again today and I'm maybe 1/2 a centimeter dilated. We also did a quick ultrasound to check on the baby's position. It is still head down and is hanging out on my left side. *Hurray!* He also saw that I have "good pockets of amniotic fluid" around the baby. I am really enjoying being "medically boring". All my numbers have been good and I only gained 2 pounds this week; without really trying I haven't really gained that much weight overall. The hard part will be to loose the non-baby weight that has accumulated over the past 4 years.

I was walking around WalMart yesterday and I'm pretty sure I felt a few contractions, perhaps that's where my 1/2 cm came from. :) I went walking again today and felt that I was walking fast, but in reality I have really slowed down my walking pace. I kept saying to the ladies behind me that they were allowed to pass me if I was walking too slow.

I've found recently that, with the exception of a few pairs of pants, skirts are more comfortable for me to wear. I think that for the most part it's because pants are either too high and give me a wedgie or are too low and fold over underneath my belly. Skirts on the other hand typically stay where I put them. I like the knee length skirts better than the long skirts because they are less restricting.

I also got my hair cut again, but this time it was more like a trim, I had a duck tail getting larger and larger at the back of my head and it just had to go. I have a girlfriend, that lives on the street perpendicular to mine, who just so happens to cut hair out of her home. So I walked over, she cut my hair, and then I walked home. It was awesome! Plus my hair looks really cute. :)

This is me today at 37 weeks and 2 days w/the new hair.

Look at My Belly!!!!

And my hair... (it was doing poofy things before since the hair was longer in front, so I had her make it shorter all over)

Andrew said that I was sticking my belly out in this picture; I'm not he's just silly. This shirt does help make my belly look more round though. :)




I gave the stylist these two pictures to get the length and style. The main difference between their hair and mine is they have finer thinner hair. So it doesn't look exactly the same but I like my new do.

My New Hair Cut

So today I decided that it was too hot and I needed to get the hair off of my neck so I found a place that was close to Macy's ('cause I needed new bras) and went for it. Below are pictures of my new hair cut. Andrew said that this is the shortest he's ever seen it. Which now that I think about it, I agree.

I think for fun I will do another post about all the crazy things that I've done to my hair, that I have pictures of. :) But for now here are today's pictures.



So this is a profile view of my growing belly. This is 19 weeks & 2 days.



And this is an "artistic" front view. Andrew was having fun with the camera.


This is the last time I got my hair cut. It is was done in early April.



This is how my hair looked before I got it cut today. (This picture was taken at Andrew's family reunion at Dash Point State Park).
