A little mommy prep

Good bye bad roots and dead ends, mommy needed a new look.
I am pretty sure that, once again, I will be seeing my due date come and go. I am not bitter or anything. OK, maybe I'm a bit bitter, but I am trying so hard to be patient. It isn't easy and I am not doing a good job of it.

So, to lift my spirits and get me focused and back into this pregnancy game, I spent the weekend doing a little mommy prep-work before the baby gets here.

I love pedicures. Pretty toes somehow
make me feel more ready for labor.
I can't explain, but they just do. 
First I FINALLY got my haircut and highlighted. My hair was way overdue for a little TLC. My last appointment was right before Thanksgiving if that tells you anything. My roots were bad; my dead ends were bad; my hair just looked homely.

Making the time to sit and get my hair done is not easy for me. I have no problem being away from my children, but somehow sitting getting my hair done for 2 hours just does not appeal to me right now. I would rather either be sleeping or running errands. However, I knew that it was time and that I needed to do it.

I loved every second of it. I needed the fresh look. My hair is now picture ready for whenever our little girl decides to make her appearance.

After my hair was freshly done, I headed to get a much needed pedicure. I am a true believer that every pregnant woman should have cute toes for when she goes into labor. The foot rub and special treatment just feels amazing at the tail end of pregnancy.

I topped off my afternoon with buying a new pair of pajamas for the hospital. Even though, I hope to be there only 24 hours like I was with Maisie, no one wants to spend that time in a hospital gown. However, I had summer babies, and it is most definitely not summer out this time. I knew I needed some warmer pajamas this time around.

I am now officially ready for this little girl to come. Now I just need to sit back, relax, and wait as patiently as I can.

T-minus 9 days till my due date.
