Honestly, I've had this song pop in my head every single time I thought about how I was almost at 28 weeks/this morning when I finally could say I was 28 weeks.
Speaking of Patrick's hair, I finally got around to trimming it. It's about an inch or two shorter but I've been meaning to cut it for a month. He had a mullet and I got rid of that crap, but he wants to grow it out at some point so I guess the mullet will have to come back at some point. Also on the subject of hair, I got a new haircut! My hair was driving me crazy being two-toned and I am burning up in the heat and humidity that is Alabama summers so I'd resolved to chop it off into what I call a "boy cut" (not short enough to be a pixie but not long enough for me to consider it a bob). I decided to go to my old manager because I felt like she would help me get a really great style (and also to test the waters of me possibly going back to work with the company post-baby--which she's no longer a manager (she makes better money as a stylist) but as soon as I walked in she was telling her manager I needed to be applying and how good I am at various things... so that's a plus). Also, I need to get my cosmetology license back from her, although I'll likely just not bother and renew it... because now that I think about it I have less than a month to do that, oops.
Anyway, here's my new hair! The photo is terrible, I have yet to get a decent pic. The cut is great but I think my face looks awkward in every pic I get.
My hair is still two-toned, but now it could almost pass for highlights (I realized I've gotten some natural highlights from being out in the sun, too), it's not just a big straight line where the old and new color separate. She also thinned it out, I had no idea just how thick it had gotten! I guess being pregnant did make my hair thicker (though I don't think by much, I'd also just stopped thinning it and hadn't had it thinned in probably 10+ months). My hair almost feels thicker in a way, more because now I can actually feel it when it moves, I guess. It also looks good after 3 days instead of me needing to wash it every day. It's so nice!
So Tuesday morning we have the 4D ultrasound! I'm so excited! I've been trying to be better about drinking water (I'm also needing to eat better, bad mommy) but I think I'm finally getting there. I think my issue is I don't feel very pregnant (even though I feel him kick and see it and have felt him shift even). I look the same I always have, at least to me, and because of that I still tend to try to bend and pick up stuff because I forget my belly isn't just fat anymore, it's actually hard and it doesn't bend like fat does. Nobody recognizes me as pregnant, either... I finally got a lady the other day and I'm pretty sure that's only because we were buying baby things and didn't have a baby with us.
Saturday morning Patrick has daddy boot camp and then that afternoon we have the baby shower! I'm so excited!
Then the Friday after that is my birthday! Even though I doubt anything exciting will happen for it, boo.
I also talked to somebody about throwing me a second, more traditional baby shower since I thought that might be more appropriate to invite my mom's friends to (plus, half our families can't make it to the first one--Patrick's cousin is getting married the same day in Georgia). So I'm excited I'll get at least two! But I'm very excited about the first one since it's a pool party and it's going to be a lot of fun!
