New Haircut and a bump

Here's an old before picture.  I've basically had the same hair for a very long time now.  The side swoop bangs, with long layers.  I go shorter occasionally, even went without layers for awhile, but generally this is the look.  I went to my hairdresser (also a friend from high school) and told her I was bored.  It was probably more to do with the weather and tired of the winter that's dragging a little longer than welcome.  Anyway we decided to cut it shorter and go w/ full on bangs.

This is how it turned out, sorry it's not a closer view.  I'm not sure if I like it or not.  It's still growing on me.  I also went shopping and this is my first maternity outfit, Thank you Mommy!  I go to the Dr. tomorrow.  Nothing exciting until next month.  So here's the 16 week view.  Please ignore the bad bad bathroom decor!  We'll be redecorating eventually, have a nursery that is 1st priority. 
Happy Monday, hope your view is less dreary than mine!

What to Wear... reversed

I love the WTW posts from my favorite Texan, Glam Newlywed.  So I decided to reverse it and ask you to give me your advice.  I have a wedding to go to in a couple weeks.  Farmboy's sister is getting married, so I have to look cute to cut the cake and all the tons of family pictures.  I think I have the shirt and skirt, so I need some accessories and shoes.

This is the closest shirt I could find.  Mine is more pink and cuter flowers w/ pearls along the neckline.  With that neckline I don't think I need a necklace, but could use some good earrings and maybe a bracelet.  This pic from google images.

This is the skirt.  I think it's cuter in person, but I also think it's a weird length.  It's brown with little pink flower buds.  This pic from Christopher & Banks.

I could also throw the entire outfit out the window and go w/ something else if it's pink and brown.  Also remember I want to look pregnant, not just fat. :)  OK, ladies that is your mission... should you choose to accept it.

Our super exciting weekend

We enjoyed some relaxation Saturday.  My aunt and uncle came down and brought a bunch of my cousin's maternity clothes.  They also wanted to see our humble abode.  My parents brought them over for a little while, the rest of the day Holly and I did lots of the above!  She's wearing her big sister shirt since the fam was coming over.  Farmboy was with a few of his students at some competition or something.  We had a fiasco with mice Saturday night, but I'll save you all the details.  Y'all really don't want to know!

Sunday we went to church for the first time in a looong time, then went to Walmart for a few groceries.  We had an hour or so before I met my mom for some shopping... that will be another post coming soon. :)  Holly decided she was too neglected or something and spent quite a bit of time under the TV stand.  Doesn't she look like a sad sack!?  She is so stinking spoiled, apparently we hadn't given her the attention she felt she deserved! Hate to break it to her but things will only go downhill from here.  She'll have to share us with the baby and it's going to rock her poor little world. 

Anyway, hope you all had a great weekend.  Happy Monday 

Happy Birthday Farmboy

This is FB with his niece before the wedding.  Love the picture, even though you can't see his face.  He's so crazy about his niece and nephew, which always made me love him a little more.  It's his birthday today, and I didn't even think to say happy birthday when we were getting ready this morning.  Tonight we're just hanging out at home, I may even cook... maybe... (I haven't cooked a single meal since I started getting pukey about 6 weeks ago)  One more reason to love that man!!  My parents are cooking him a big birthday dinner tomorrow, and of course my mom stole my best gift ideas.  However, hubby has an Amazon wishlist, so I'm saved by that.  Anyway, this is rambly.... so I'll just finish with
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FARMBOY!!

Baby Questions

Thanks for all the sweet comments.  Farmboy and I couldn't be more excited.  We've had lots and lots of questions since we've gone public with our news, so I thought I'd answer them here as well.

1.  Are you going to find out the gender?
           Yes!!!  I know there are people who think it would be super exciting and heart warming to hear the doc announce, but I like to be prepared.  Like REALLY LIKE to be prepared.  I'd rather not go somewhere new until someone else has been there to tell me about it ( and what I should order).

2.  Do you want a boy or girl?
         I always find this question funny, because you wouldn't try for a baby if you weren't going to be happy either way.  However, both of us have older brothers, so we want a big brother for our future babies.  We tried for a boy, and I kind of think it is a boy.  Again we'll be thrilled either way.

3.  What do you mean you tried for a boy?
        My sister-in-law looked at us like we'd totally lost our marbles.  Several people think we're nuts, but we read a book and did what it said.  If you want more info on that google Dr. Shettles or email me.

4.  Do you have names picked out?
        Yep,  we have 2 girl names and 2 boy names, and we've had some of them picked out since we were dating.  Yea, I know naming future children isn't typical date convo.  But when you live 6 hours away and talk every night everything comes up eventually.  If it's a boy we will use the grandfathers names, Jerome Patrick.  If it's a girl it'll be Daisy Ann.  Ann is my middle name and my mom's middle name.  We've had some people tell us our choices weren't good.... We don't care!  I know every mom out there would agree, and probably had at least one person not like the names they chose.

5.  Do you have plans for the nursery?
       Yep, we will do John Deere green and yellow for Jerome.  And of course pink and brown for Daisy.  We won't be painting the room to match, because it makes it harder for resale.  We're hoping to be out of our house in the near future.  Even nearer future if farmboy gets a job that takes us a little farther from where we're currently located.  No we're not moving more than about an hour or so from where we're at.

OK  This got way longer than I had planned.  If I didn't answer a question on your mind, then ask.
