First Salon Hair Cut

So last Thursday I was in one of those moods and decided Peyton needed a haircut. Mom was already headed out of town so I started calling salons and we found one! This is actually Peyton's 4th haircut. My mom has cut it 3 times already!! What kid at 21 months has had 4 haircuts! Geez!

She did good, better than I thought. She sat still and just watched. She didn't seem scared but she certainly wasn't excited either.

Friday I had the day off so I went to the doctor for an OB checkup and we left town early for a pull. I am at 30 weeks today, however, I measure about 30 1/2 weeks. My blood pressure and pulse were high, so now they are watching that. They tested me for preclampsia and that was negative. I think this kid is just going to be a pain in my side, like his Daddy!!

Interesting enough, the doc asked if I had any lower back pain at all. I said, nope...none!! And then on the way to the pull that evening my lower back hurt so bad I couldn't move!! The stinker was pushing on my psychotic nerve (at least that is what I am calling it!). Holy smokes that is debilitating!! I didn't have that at all with Peyton. It took about 3 days to be able to move somewhat normal. Hope that doesn't happen again.

Anyway, I am 50% effaced (spelling?), so I guess this is actually coming soon.

I went to buy him a "coming home" outfit yesterday, found nothing. Now I know what all you mom's mean when you say there is nothing for boys. I bought 2 onsies, his first clothing I have for him, one says "Daddy and I Agree, Mommy's the Boss" the other says "I may be little but I am tough". They were clearanced so I couldn't resist. Cam doesn't like the first one. He disagrees.

After the doctor's office I went to the grocery store to get some snacks. I was at home packing for our overnight stay in WI and Peyton was in the kitchen coloring. Well...I thought she was coloring. Suddenly it got really quiet. She usually sings pretty loudly when she is coloring. I walked out of the bedroom to see why it was so quiet to find her digging into the snacks for pulling. She helped herself to a Mini Strawberry Shortcake. When I caught her, she was on the frosting of the 3rd cake, licking her fingers saying "MMMMmmmmm". I gave her one of them and left the other 2 frostingless cakes for Cam for later.

Notice Petey patiently waiting in the corner of the picture for any stranded crumbs.

So we pulled in Cumberland, WI last Friday. Took home 3 first place finishes and a 2nd place finish. The best pull out of the 4 was 343' to 341', Cam took it by 2 feet! That was an awesome pull.

This weekend there is a pull in Stanley, WI, it isn't a points pull for us, so I think we are skipping it. Maybe taking Peyton to the zoo on Sunday instead.

Nicolai Racing is heading back to Joliet, IL - Good Luck Gina!!
