I'm getting a spur of the moment hair cut today. I never do this! All of a sudden this week I decided I needed to have a few inches cut off, like shoulder length or a little longer. I mentioned it to my DH and he says it's my hormones and I shouldn't do anything drastic. I don't think 3 inches is drastic! Lol So here I am waiting to get a hair cut.
I cut off nine inches last week. It was glorious. I have not regretted it at all.
I have reached the end of "insatiable pregnancy hunger." I met a friend for tapas last night, worrying I'd order 90 of them, but was full after just a few bites. There just isn't any room now that my 38-week ute is squeezing my tummy to the size of a pea.
I found out yesterday that my insurance only covers Ameda breast pumps. I'm a little disappointed as they aren't rated as well as Medela ones, but hopefully it will work out because I really don't want to buy one out of pocket.
I had/have one and in the end I liked it more than the Medela. The milk doesn't go through the pump and there aren't as many parts to replace or that could break.

The milk never went through my Medela pump? It goes straight from the flanges to the bottle.

Mine didn't either. Maybe she just means it's an "open system?"
My H's last CPA exam was this morning!! Woohoo!!! I asked him how it was, and he said he waffled between elation and despair every 5 minutes... Haha. Even if he doesn't pass (which I think he will, he's passed the other three on the first try), it won't be the full on crazy studying, it'll be reviewing and brushing up on notes and stuff. So, yay!
We're dropping off our son with my mom at 5:30, and heading to our mini Babymoon! We're going to the mountains this weekend to relax at a fancy hotel and see a concert. I'm about to burst with excitement!
VBS ended today! Woohoo! I was partially in charge of it, and it was a success, and I'm so glad it's all done!
Woohoo!! I remember taking those, got my CPA 2 years ago. It was always such a relief to be done studying!

I'm feeling pretty productive today! I called my HR department and discussed pregnancy disability (in case my doctor takes me off early thanks to my lovely commute), maternity leave, etc. I also got all the details for all the classes and have made some decisions for the hospital tour and prepared childbirth class. I even went through the BRU checklist and made sure that we're all prepared for registering tomorrow. Oh, and I called the insurance company to reduce my mileage that they have me driving...they put me at the lowest mileage possible (since I have only been driving to work 1x/wk) and changed my job status to "homemaker"- I'm liking the sound of that! Plus, it saves us $130/yr on insurance!

This week I found a cute dress to wear for a couple of showers I have coming up. The fabric will allow me to grow into it so I plan on wearing it to a wedding in the fall as well. I also found a cute short sleeve gray sweater to go over it and got them both for ~$40.
It's cuter and more vibrant in person.
Yesterday I wasn't feeling well- lots of bloating, fullness after dinner, retching. Then on top of that, I cried because my dog loves my husband more than she loves me, lol!
My random today is that I had to sit in a conference room from 9 am to 5:30 pm listening to vendor presentations. This is just awful for a 35 week preggo lady sitting in a hard, with no back support, conference room chair. BUT I made it and I will be super lazy tonight. Lower back pain is no fun, and I don't have yoga to help with it
Also, under normal circumstances, being told to eat more would be awesome. But now I really can't. I feel full from a few bites and it's like I have a sand-filled beach ball attached to my abdomen. My H and mom keep trying to force-feed me and I feel like I'm failing.
People are always trying to force feed me as well. It's annoying. I just finally said, look - I am flowing with things. If I am hungry, I will go to town. If not, I am not forcing it. Back the fuck off.
I'm very sadly not feeling in the mood for Indian food. Just sounds ick right now. Of course our favorite place just opened up a location around the corner from us. Sorry, H, it's Thai food again.
