bit of a narcissistic post

 

In yoga yesterday, I glanced towards the mirror during warrior pose, and was shocked by my belly.  Naturally, I had to snap a photo as soon as I got home, before I changed out of the yoga gear.  I mean, oh my goodness! This is just 2 days into week 24, meaning I've got at least 16 weeks to go.  

 To keep with the narcissistic theme of this post, I have to reveal my new haircut.  I impulse bought some bangs on Friday.  Went to the salon, having thought about getting bangs for about 24 hours, asked my stylist, who said- absolutely you could do bangs! so she cut them.  And also Bowie's rebel rebel, one of my favorite songs, was playing, so I was inspired. The photo below is me prior to my lab holiday party, in all my sparkly maternity glory, and bangs.  My personal verdict is still out- I definitely can't just wake up and leave the house anymore as the bangs stick out in all directions in the morning. And Im worried they make my face look too round.  But they got rave reviews at my lab and office holiday parties this weekend, so I feel a bit better.  We'll see. I may grow them out before the baby comes.  (oh, and yes, Im wearing leggings as pants- something I used to say Id never do, but now I have to amend my past scorn to- leggings are not pants unless you are pregnant!)
