New Hair, New Concerns, New Resolve.

Finally got my hair cut since before I found out I was pregnant!  (I believe it's been 7 months, that's a LONG time for me!)  My jaw nearly dropped off, I've never been really much of a talker, but I couldn't help it this time!  The girl that cut my hair is my age, has a 3 year old boy and a 2 year old girl and was extremely helpful in giving me some new ideas to style my hair! 

What a happy day for me.  Yeah, I know, not the greatest picture... especially by the back door and the light switch, but I was making sure Aiden was eating his dinner (he has a tendency to run laps around the dining room table and takes FOREVER to finish his food) and decided to take the opportunity to snap a photo.  Yeah yeah, you can't really tell what the deal is with my hair (and this is after a nap!), but it supposedly is a mommy-friendly long cut - and she taught me a few tricks to keep it "good looking."  If you're a mom, you know this is a treat.

About the baby, I'm definitely feeling her a lot more each week.  At my last checkup (there was a job-shadower there, memories!), the baby had a good heart rate and was a good size.  Actually, I was measuring at 29cm, 1cm bigger than my weeks-to-date!  She hasn't started turning yet but she should soon, her head was in the upper right side and we could FEEL it!  I FELT HER HEAD!  :o)  It was tiny, fit in the palm of my cupped hand.

I start my every-two-weeks visits next week, and I have a 3D ULTRASOUND on February 23rd! 

Concerns:  I'm SCARED.  Everyone and their mom's DOG has been saying "Are you having a boy?" after viewing my evidently low carrying position.  I don't know what the theory is with low=boy but I don't like it.  Our gender prediction ultrasound took long enough as it is (Baby Girl wouldn't open her legs! haha, Thank God...), I don't need random people inserting their theory virus before even asking when I'm due!

Of course, the census is still widely shocked that I'm 7 months along.  When I'm dressed, I guess you can't tell I'm pregnant?!  My hairstylist today said she didn't even notice!  I told her she thought I was fat and was just being nice... haha... she probably did.

WE HAVE A NAME.  But am I ready to post it here, yet?  We love the name, and are proud of our decision.  Maybe I'll post it with my baby shower information - I haven't figured that stuff out yet.  I'm thinking that maybe I'll have a baby shower/birthday party for me.  (No, I won't expect cards or gifts for my birthday, just registry stuff would be a blessing!)

Our house goes on the market March 1st.  Evidently the realtors want to list it higher than our initial discussed price because of the value it offers comparatively on the current market!?  I'm just praying about the situation now, I want to keep this in God's hands and remember why we're selling - to restart, and hopefully become debt-free.  As of right now, our debt looks like 2 cars and a house.  The way we're rolling, we'll have Josh's truck paid off in no time, and since my car is the lowest note we should be debt free by the end of the year if we sell the house quick!  (Imagining the entire mortgage payment amount going to the cars on top of the original payments -DREAM-).

Anyway, I'm enjoying my days off so far, 1 down, 2 to go.  I'm pretty sure I'm going to First Thursday at church this week.  I love this church.

More later.
