Happy Monday!

Just a short, "how I'm feeling" post today.

I'm actually feeling really good today! Lots of energy and no nausea (knock on wood). So, I'm busy cleaning, cleaning, cleaning!!! Windows are open, and we're getting this stinky place aired out (if you've heard anything from me lately, it's probably that everything stinks!). Which brings up an interesting point..Mike and I were contemplating why sense of smell is heightened during pregnancy. Does anyone know? I was going to Google it, but haven't sat down long enough to do that yet..or, if I have, I haven't thought to do it.

I got my hair cut on Saturday, and - like it always did before - it's given me "new life"! It's strange to think how much of an effect hair can have on a person. I grew my hair out, as a challenge to myself, to see if I could follow through. I had attempted so many times before, just like attempting to quit smoking, so I wanted to just "do it already!". So I did, and now that's done. The decision to cut my hair shorter came with the frustration of having all this hair and never doing anything with it. It was tied always up and pulled back. Then, when that initial haircut was a disaster, I decided to go shorter still, and called it my "mommy do", anticipating not only wanting less worry in the hair department once baby comes, but also not wanting long, heavy hair during the Summer, when I'll be fat, hot and miserable. Then, after about a month of that haircut, I figured, why not go all the way?! Why not make the hair not only easier, but just plain easy?? As in, the way it used to be. I'm so glad I did! It's like coming home. After years of short hair, the growing out phase was a challenge, and at times fun, but just not "me". I finally see me when I look in the mirror. Will post pictures soon!

I'm getting together with my wonderful friend, Meredith in an hour, so I'm off to scoop up the laundry and take a shower. I'm really looking forward to the appointment on Friday, and will post on any news from that. If you don't hear from me before then, have a great week!!
