so they say that pregnancy makes you do crazy things, have crazy cravings, and forget simply everything. I never really believed it until now. I have never been so absent minded in my life! I have even gone so far as to send a $50 check to our leasing office for rent when in fact we definitely pay alot more! My bad!

I suppose you could say that I am quite attached to my long locks of hair and have been for as long as I can remember. My sister has even compared me to Samson and called my hair "my strength" (i know...kinda dramatic)! well, to top off the pregnancy randomness I make the crazy decision to chop off my long locks this week. That's right...8 inches gone! I had a sudden craving for change and did it before I could change my mind. Fortunately for me I love the new look. It's easy and ecomonical! I think I will use half the amount of shampoo and conditioner now and Leith is quite pleased with this.

So anyway...here is a picture of the new look and the latest of Isaiah before he makes his debut. I am almost 38 wks already! Hospital bag packed...check! nursery ready...check! car seat installed...check! new mommy friendly hair style...check!

nesting

Although I have heard so many times of this so called "nesting" stage that all pregnant women go through, I never exactly knew what that might feel like or when that sudden "urge to organize" would hit me. Well, I am proud to say that I am officially nesting! The realization that Isaiah will be here in 5 weeks has definitely caused Leith and I to literally re-arrange our lives (and furniture) in preparation for his arrival. Leith has worked hard and completed building the crib and changing table. I have already done several loads of laundry including crib sheets, burp cloths, and onsie after onsie. Drawers are beginning to fill up with all the great gifts that people have been so generous to give us. Toys are already piling up and he even responds to the ones that make noise! (today when I put one next to my belly he started kicking around.) I still have lots of work to do, but I think we are almost ready for him! Below are some pictures of what Isaiah's room looks like so far.

the "toys" bag was handmade by my dear friend Sara. It's so cute and I love it!
