Hurricane Irene & A Haircut

Dear Avacado,

This past week was certainly full of unexpected events.  First, I got a rather large haircut.  I wasn't intending on getting as much cut as I did but once I got in that chair it just felt like it was time to go a little shorter.  I have had longer hair almost my entire life (sans one incident in college) and have always been afraid to go short.  But, in the last 2 years my hair has become wavier and inthe last few months even more so.  Because of all this I decided it might be time to try a shorter length (I also really needed to cut down on the time it takes to style my hair given your impending arrival).

You, Me, and the New Haircut - Week 25

I really hate taking pictures of myself but I feel like its important to document your growth in some way.  Many people take a weekly picture but honestly, that's simply not going to happen with my crazy schedule and the lack of natural lighting in this house.  So, I have been trying to take pictures every few weeks.  This dress was actually the first piece of maternity wear I bought and I love that it still fits and there is still plenty of room!

This week, other than the haircut, we prepared for Hurriance Irene.  This was a storm that was supposed to do quite a bit of damage but when it finally arrived in  Maine - other than some flooding and lots of power outages we didn't have the severity that they predicted.  But, like good parents Josh and I went out and bought water jugs for Hunter and water bottles for us.  We also cleaned up the yard and but everything away that could have blown or caused damage.  It didn't take us very long and I am glad that we did it but we likely would have been ok if we hadn't.

It's my hope this week to get your room more put together than it is because we have less than 100 days and your stuff is taking over our dinningroom!!
