Baby Powell...week 9

So this past Thursday, I was 9 weeks. I feel and look huge already. I still have A LOT of nausea and get sick around 4 times a day. I have to be careful not to lay flat while resting and to not let my stomach get completely empty, because that seems to make it worse.
I am so excited about our new addition! I can't wait to hold our new baby and to see Sydney teach "it" all the mischevious things she knows! :)

I am not resting well at night, but I think if I COULD, I would sleep all day. Of course, with a very active soon-to-be 4 year old, that isn't possible! Sydney won't start pre k until next year because the cut off date was 4 years of age on or before September 1st...her birthday is September 12! I mean really, 11 days!!!! So, I sign her up for school this coming March, the same month the new baby is due to make it's grand entrance!

So, I know a few of my followers are pregnant and or have had babies...so I have a question...what is your thoughts on coloring your hair in the first trimester? I have roots to my ears, but everyone scares me about coloring my hair this early. I can't remember if I did or didn't with Sydney....

Sydney is very excited about the new baby. She only gets jealous at night because the baby gets to sleep in my belly. She want's me to "take the baby out and put it in its own bed." So, she doesn't quite understand the whole concept yet, but hey, I don't expect her to!

So, all in all, I am doing well. I am excited about being a mommy to 2 babies. Matt and I are so blessed. Oh, and March 4th will also be our 5th wedding anniversary...so as you see, March is a big month for us! :)

  1. everything i've read says that its cool to highlight your hair, because it doesn't really touch the skin. its coloring your hair that isn't good for you because it touches the skin and is absorbed. I thought it was kind of weird, but you can also get tattoos while you are pregnant because it doesn't penetrate through all layers of skin. You would think tattoos would be a no-no! soo excited for you you Amanda!
