My New Do and Belly

Posted on | January 24, 2009 | 17 Comments |

Ok… so here it is! What a great day, not only did I get a haircut but I got to donate my hair to Locks of Love. I didn’t know my hair was that long! I told my hairdresser that I should probably wait a few more months so that I could donate my hair. She looked at me, measured my hair, and said that my hair was longer than I thought. Wowser! So yes yes yes, my first hair donation. M was there, her hair is long, and she said that when she decides to chop her hair off she wants to donate too. So sweet!

So here it is. My belly shot, 21 weeks and two days. My belly literally just popped yesterday. Before that, unless you know I’m pregnant, it wasn’t that obvious (well, except after I eat or drink a lot, ha ha!). I’ve gain a bit of weight, I can see it on my buttocks, arms, and face.

A lot of effort went into this photo shoot. I never did get an excellent picture (all are blurry). Hubby was asleep (he’s been on night shift this week… Thursday night being the last night) when I came home from the beauty salon and couldn’t wait for him to get up… wanted to take the pics in natural lighting. I’ve never used the self-timer before and I finally got the hang of it (focusing) AFTER the shots. It was so easy, I felt stupid. Then M would not leave me alone. She wanted to be in ALL the pictures. The last two shots, M was in them too… underneath me. Both times I sat on top of Emma. Ha ha ha. What at terrible mom!!! Oh, don’t forget the dog… yes, Max had to be in the way too. It was great!

So here it is. It was A LOT of work getting these pictures!!! Have a great weekend. I’ll be gone gone gone Saturday. Crap, I should go to bed! I have an all day crop at the scrapbook store in a few hours. 10 a.m. to midnight, baby! I hope to have a lot of stuff to share — if I get the mojo. Ya know {::SMILES}.

Material:
Frames from Weeds and Wildflower (Gina Huff), polka dot paper by Jazzmin (Shabby Pickle), Ornament by Bisontine (Shabby Pickle), and the rest by Kasia (Shabby Pickle).

Did I ever show you how to make scallop paper in Photoshop? Like the top right there? Super super easy! Maybe I’ll do a video this coming week and show you!

This is hilarious!
What’s funnier is that I took some self-portraits with my daughter (and my pregnant belly) yesterday too :) I’m just over 20 weeks along :)

What a cute little baby bump! That’s funny that M was jumping in on the photo shoot. How great of you to donate your hair. I’ve never done that…I haven’t had longer hair since high school. I love the page you created and your jounaling to M.

You look gorgeous pregnant Savitri. Yup, you sure look pregnant! Such a cute bump! Your new hair do is so pretty too!

LOL! Your daughter is funny. I guess she is accustomed to taking pictures, huh! It’s funny because when my daughter was little, I took pictures of her every where, any time, all the time. As she grew older, she began to refuse taking pictures and would get annoyed that I’m always with my camera. I miss those days when my daughter would ham it up for the camera!
