First stop - Hair goes bye-bye! It's been about three years since my last haircut and thanks to prenatals, it's been growing like a weed. It's been heavy and in the way for a while now. I went in and said that as long as it still goes up in a ponytail, I didn't care what she did to it.
I was able to get two 16-inch ponytails to donate to Locks of Love (it's my fourth time!) and then she gave me a cute cut. I think in total I am ~20 inches lighter today.

Next up - Cook. I spent most of the day in the kitchen and made 18 different meals to store in the freezer for post-baby. I've done the freezer cooking thing before... it makes for one miserable day, but hopefully we'll thank Past-Me later. Oh, and I *may* need a bigger freezer.
Once Hans got home from work, it was off to Babies R Us to pick up a Pack N Play, courtesy of my fabulous in-laws, and get it set up in our bedroom. We're one step closer to being ready for baby!

That is really awesome how you give your hair to locks of love. I have considered doing that myself more than once over the years.
ReplyDeleteI was the exact same way. An unexpected day off always meant a day to attempt to get ahead on my list of to dos!
ReplyDeleteIt's fantastic that you got so many meals into your freezer! Smart, smart lady.
And it's a cute hair cut!
AND you did that all while 8/9 months pregnant. You are amazing.
