lots of so many exciting things to share today.
first, i got my hair dyed last week. back to my “natural” color. which i haven’t been since i was like maybe 14? maybe. basically i didn’t want to have the upkeep of the highlights (or the expense).
and i am a brunette! kind of. i never would have guessed. but i like it. and i feel very much like sjp in the SATC movie when she dyes her hair dark. but very few people here have seemed to notice, so maybe it isn’t as big of a deal as i thought.
here is my 38 week old belly:
sometimes bryan will look at me and say something like “sometimes i can see the real you”. meaning he can see a glimpse of what my body used to look like. and it is so weird to think of that as the “real me”. despite all the difficulties that go along with being pregnant i don’t know that i have ever felt more comfortable in my skin or more happy with my body. sometimes i don’t even feel like i can remember what it felt like not to be pregnant. i feel like it has never been used for a greater purpose, like this is what it was meant for. it feels divine, meant to be, and driven with purpose. and even though i am so ready to meet the little man, i am going to miss this belly. i am going to miss this feeling of becoming, this feeling of determination, and this feeling of adventure. and it makes me wonder, if it feels so right to be pregnant, is this the real me?
we had a doctor’s appointment on friday last week. we kind of changed my due date to january 31st (it splits the difference between the 2 we had at the beginning). we also got an ultrasound and the baby is still head down (yay!) and everything looks good (we even verified he is still a boy. double yay!). we are ready to go. but if we don’t go we have another appointment next week.
we also got our new couch:
bryan and i can lay on it at the same time without touching each other. it’s like falling in love all over again. its also super comfortable. and it fits (an issue i was only slightly worried about)!!
p.s. i wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been calling us, emailing us, facebooking us and commenting on the blog. i feel so loved and so blessed and so supported. we are very excited to share all baby related news with you and i feel so overwhelmed by the words of love and support from everyone. thank you thank you thank.
