Hello, March

Exceptionally fast month! 3 weeks ago Eric took a trip to Canada for work, and 2 weeks ago he was in Mexico. Last week we spent catching up on things around the house.
Duncan has done a lot of growing up during this month. He had his first haircut two weeks ago!
Before and During:
The weekend before Duncan's haircut, Eric and I spent a night away from him to "celebrate" Valentine's Day. We fell asleep at 9:00, haha. But dinner was delicious - Stoney River at the Summit. Yesterday, Duncan took his first nap in his new bed and his new room. He explored for an hour and a half, and then slept on the floor for an hour before he woke up at 3. I was nervous about bedtime, but he went to bed at 7 and slept all night long! Such a proud moment. He's growing up so fast. *tear* :o) And today, he napped very well - went right to sleep at 12:30 and slept until 3:00.
We've had some constipation issues with Duncan, too, over the past few weeks, but believe they are finally resolved. Yay! We have eliminated dairy from his diet (with the exception of butter, but we don't eat very much). I think it was mainly cheese.
I am feeling good - 33 weeks today. Baby is very active, especially in the evenings, and I have had just a few days of swollen ankles and legs. We had maternity photos taken last week by my very talented friend and neighbor. Here is the slideshow:
My next midwife appointment is on Friday. We have almost everything ready for the birth; we have all of our supplies except for the birth pool (being used in March, and then I get it) and the liner that we have to buy. Other than that, I want to make sure we have plenty of food ready for everyone who will be here (including myself), but we won't do that until closer to the day.
Here is a picture of me from this past weekend (minus makeup and dry hair):
Speaking of makeup, I bought some new stuff from my fabulous friend and Mary Kay consultant last week. I love it. Even though I feel as big as a house right now, I feel pretty. I guess it's kind of sad that I need makeup to feel pretty, but, hey, I'm doing what I can right now. I feel pretty in the sense that being pregnant is amazing and I love my belly and that I'm growing a life inside of me ... but the makeup helps on some days when I just feel fat and gross. :o)
I have been working at Mama's Hip on Fridays until 2:30. Loving it! Don't know if I'll be able to continue after the baby is born, but I think it's a possibility. Eric's mom has Duncan during that time, and I am so happy that they have a chance to be together each week.
That's all for now, I guess!

3 Observations or Opinions:
I need to get Tod to cut Miles's hair cut someday. How much did he charge?
I gave him the gift certificate I got for Christmas, and that covered both my haircut and Duncan's.
Nice! Tod's a great guy!
