New Hairdo & Belly Pic

I finally got my hair cut and highlighted last Thursday. It had been way too long! Here's a picture of my new 'do:

I have now began my 7th month of pregnancy! Since I'll be induced if I haven't delivered by about 8 1/2 months, that means I have less than 2 1/2 months to go. WOW! I am still feeling great. My biggest difficulty is sleeping at night. I've had a hard time with that my whole pregnancy, but now I'm definitely at the stage where I'm having trouble getting comfortable. I am having a lot of lower back pain too when I sleep, so I've started to wedge pillows around me to help alleviate that.

I've also been experiencing a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions, but that is normal for me at this point. The nurse said that as long as they don't start forming a pattern, then I shouldn't worry. I go in for my 28 week appointment this Tuesday April 21st. I'll be very relieved to see the babies again and know that everything is okay. 4 weeks between appointments seems like forever! After this appointment, I should start going in every 2 weeks, so that will be good.

It's amazing how much I'm growing from week to week. According to what I've read, the babies should be about 2 1/2 lbs now, so that's 5lbs of baby in there already! We'll get to confirm their weights on Tuesday. Here is my latest belly picture:

Your hair is very cute and I can't believe your belly is expanding the way it is. You look like you are about to pop....my goodness.
