Oh Thursday, I have NEVER been so happy to see you! If I haven't reminded you all enough, today is my last.day.of.WORK!!!!!! Then it's off on maternity leave. I guess that sorta means I HAVE to have a baby, huh? I was printing out my birth plan to give to my doctor and whatever nurses happen to help with the birth, and holy canolli, I started getting a wicked case of butterflies. Started thinking, "Oh yeah, I guess I have to push him out now, huh?" It's just all so official!
Yesterday I had a FABULOUS day! Went to work (eh, that's not so fabulous), got off at 12:00 and headed to my hair appointment. Mama needed a touch up and it'll probably be my last professional touch up for a loooong time. It can be pretty pricey (even though my girl is amazing and always gives me a really great price), I will most likely do some box highlights to keep up my blonde for a tenth of the price so I can stay home with my little man. After getting labor and delivery ready hair, it was off to the OB for my weekly belly check up (no pelvic exam darn it!). Everything was measuring fine, weight was good, his heart rate was fast and steady which she seemed to be happy with (which made me happy). After I was on cloud 9 from hearing my little man's heart pitter patter, I went to the gym for an obligatory 30 minutes on the elliptical, blah! I don't like the elliptical. When I first started my weight loss journey, it was great because running intimidated the heck outta me. Now that I am a runner through and through, elliptical workouts just don't possess the same pizazz. Speaking of workouts - they are slowing down MAYJA'. I walk on the treadmill for the most part for 30 minutes on my lunch 4 days a week. Then on the weekends I may or may not go on Saturday. I know it's to be expected with my belly getting heavier (and just becoming more tired in general), but even after 9 months of being pregnant, slowing my workouts down is so foreign to me. Although, I'm soaking up this time I have and am going to (try!) enjoy every last minute of this pregnancy. I am only pregnant for the 1st time once and before I know it, he'll be here and growing faster than I want him to.

I am the opposite - I'm the boxed color girl. I'm too cheap to go get my hair done, but I see a possible post-baby pampering at a salon in my future. :)
Yay for good doctor appointments. :) Boo for no exam, though. When do they do yours?
Wow, congratulations girl! You've got many things to be thankful for this new year 2011!

Enjoy your last days of pregnancy!!!! its coming sooo soon!! yayyy!!
Oh I remember those "uh-oh I really have to follow through with this" thoughts near the end of my pregnancies. With my first I exercised all the way through and felt great. I love it when I see pregnant women working out. So healthy for Mom & baby.
I'm a color-from-the-box gal. Can't afford the time or money for lengthy salon sessions.
