We've moved!

In an effort to centralize all our various blogs, T and I are launching timandolive.com!  This baby blog can now be found under the Family tab.

Thanks for being part of our journey.  Hope you enjoy the new website!  (It's a work in progress, so please feel free to leave us comments, questions or suggestions!)

Gone in 60 seconds (or less)

I did it.  Chopped off a foot of hair.  I'm not sure exactly how much all that hair weighed, but I'm pretty sure getting such an extreme haircut is one of the fastest ways of losing weight.  It's certainly one of the only (if not the only) acceptable ways of losing weight while I'm pregnant!  (Not that I needed to.)

I feel like getting my hair cut was one of the final "big" things I needed to get done before the baby arrives.  The countdown to baby's due date is only FOUR WEEKS.  This means baby will most likely be born between two to six weeks from now.  So it feels really good to check this item off my list.

I know you're all curious about how I look now, so I'll indulge you and post some pictures of my adventures this afternoon.

Getting ready for the big snip

Here goes nothing!

Halfway there

Bye-bye long hair!

Hello new style! 

Now the true test is, will I be able to make my hair look this good after I wash it tomorrow morning?  ;)  I think it's possible.  I have faith in my hairdresser.  =)

A date of significance

Five years ago today, a certain young man invited a certain young woman into the adventure of courtship.  Five years ago today, the young woman said yes to that invitation.  Now, 5 years later, they are one month away from the due date of their first baby!  Needless to say, their adventure has only begun.  ;)

I don't have much time to write today, but I figured it's been a while since I updated.  Overall, everything is going well.  I'm not as ridiculously famished as I was a few weeks ago, so I think baby's growth spurt is slowing down.  Baby also seems to be sinking lower into my pelvis, which means my hips are beginning to hurt.  Sigh.

I'm going for a haircut tomorrow, which I'm excited about.  Partly because I love donating hair to make wigs for kids with cancer.  And partly because taking care of this long hair is getting cumbersome and energy taxing. I look forward to a fresh, manageable "mommy" hairdo.  =)

Anyway, it's nap time for me so here's a photo for you:  35 weeks.  One of the last photos of me pregnant with long hair.  My spiritual director says it looks like I have a basketball under my shirt.  Hee hee.
