Hair, Prayers, & 9 months
I got my hair cut yesterday after chewing on the idea for a few weeks. Here's the before: 
This is the absolute longest my hair has ever been.

Eek! It's short! (This isn't the greatest picture of my self either, and I feel as if I look older.)
Eek! It's short! (This isn't the greatest picture of my self either, and I feel as if I look older.)MC turned 9 months last Friday, and this time, I actually was able to put her in the same white onesie, add her onesie sticker, and snap a few pictures!
I should've planned better, and posted a newborn vs. 9 month picture. She's wearing the exact same onesie! I'm shocked that I can still snap it and that it still fits. But, she's also a tiny little thing, weighing in around 16 lbs.
She's been sick again, and as soon as I write this, i'm getting her up from her nap and taking her back to the pediatrician. I might as well invest in their stock, because we've been to the doctor more times than I would've liked in the past 2 months. She has a cold that has settled in her eyes, and you can see how red and puffy they are in the picture above.

The urge to pray has hit me hard over the last few days and I just wanted to share a few requests:.
~ Pray that the doctors can give us some insight on Megan and why she's been so sick. I know it's just a cold, but it's so hard when she's so miserable.
~ A friend of ours (her son) is having surgery today to replace tubes in his ears.
~ Another online friend, just found out that her grandmother is sick and in the hospital with tests needing to be done.
~ Pray for the town of Branson, Mo and that they are able to rebuild and recuperate for their upcoming vacation season. The shows and parks should be reopening in March, but they may be delayed. I have a friend that lives 30 minutes from there and she knows people that have lost things.
~ Pray that DJ and I can find and agree upon a church here in Tulsa. We've been visiting many churches and we have yet to find that fit for our family, and it's something that I'm struggling with.
~ Pray that a buyer will come along for our house in Indiana. It's not currently on the market, and it is being rented, but the renter may move out in a few months. So pray that our house could sell, or that he will renew his lease for another 6 months.
Enjoy your day and week. I hear the weather here is suppose to hit close to 80 tomorrow and i'm looking forward to it!

Pinterest Fashion Finds
Thanks for joining me for the 2nd week of mommy style! I'm wishing that I could purchase all of the outfits that I have pinned on Pinterest, but I can't. With two girls in daycare, buying their clothes for spring & summer, and planning MC's first birthday, there's not much extra room in the budget. But, I do plan on using these outfits as style inspiration this spring. 
When thinking spring, think about adding pops of color. We've all been hearing the term "color blocking", which is just a way of saying to add unexpected pops of color and pair them together!

We've all been hearing the term "color blocking", which is just a way of saying to add unexpected pops of color and pair them together!The turquoise scarf and earrings in the outfit above, give just a touch of color pop. You can find scarves at Target for around $14.00, and find a pair of matching earrings, because I promise, I won't be spending the $1,160.00 that those beauties cost! Jeans are easy to come by, because I know you have a pair in your closet. I just picked up a white shirt from Target this past week for $8.00. And, those shoes, are only $15.00 from Forever 21!
I absolutely adore the yellow handbag in the outfit above. I saw a similar purse at Marshalls on Friday, and almost picked it up, but my purse of choice is my diaper bag at the moment! You can also get a grey t-shirt at Target for $8.00, and I already own a pair of red flats and earrings. Although, if you don't have the earrings, they're a deal at only $5.00
Finally, my last color inspiration for this spring is the green and blue. I wouldn't of thought to pair this color combination on my own, but I love the nautical feel of it. The blue cardigan comes from Target, while the scarf and purse are Kate Spade. The shoes are only $30.00 at Zara.com, but I think this outfit would also be perfect on a rainy day when paired with a pair of navy rain boots!

And, tune next week to see if I could recreate any of these looks from what I found in my closet!
Before you go, head over to this post and help me decide if I should chop my hair or not!
Thanks to Pinterest and Polyvore.com for these photos.

Happy 9 months!
MC has been in this world for the same amount of time that she was in my belly. That is so hard to believe!
This last month has been tough with MC, and I've been more convinced than ever that we were done having children. She was home for 2 weeks straight. One because the grandmother's were here and kept her for a week, and the next week because she was sick. I think those weeks were exhausting because she was clingy and fussy, but, she was sick. I'm so glad she's feeling better, because this week has made me remember that she really is a happy baby!
I stayed home with her on Monday, and we enjoyed playing together. She is crawling (army style) all over the house. She made it from our living room to our kitchen, which is basically the entire length of our house.
She's also wanting to stand, although she's not pulling herself up to stand yet. But, if you place her where she can hold on to something, she'll stand there for about 10 seconds or so.
I picked her up around 1:30 today and we went shopping. She sat in the front of the buggy, which is rare, since G's always up there. She was just so good shopping and even helped me pick out a new pair of shoes and a birthday gift for her cousin!

To Cut or Not To Cut???
It's time for a hair cut. My hair hasn't been cut since November, and that's pathetic. Raise your hand if you put yourself on the back burner too?
This sassy, super short cut, which I think would be fabulous for spring & summer (yes y'all, I know it's a few weeks away, but it's also been near 80 the last two days!)
I was recently informed by my dear husband that he doesn't like my current hair style. It's a bit too long for his taste. I guess he's not into the hair swinging around and having something to, um, grab on to.
So, I called last night and made an appointment for Tuesday, and I'm kind of freaking out, because I'm going to have to chop off this:
This is the longest my hair has been, in, um, forever. I think I have been growing it out for the last year and a half. And, I do love it. And, I love being able to put it in a ponytail or messy up-do when I don't feel like messing with it or when it's driving me crazy after a long work day.

And, I love being able to put it in a ponytail or messy up-do when I don't feel like messing with it or when it's driving me crazy after a long work day.So, I've been perusing Pinterest for new hair styles and I've narrowed it down to two.

I was just thinking I could wash, blow dry, and straighten and be out the door with it. Although, I would no longer have my messy up-dos.
Or, I could play it safe, and go with this style. I could still have the pony tails and up-do's.
