New Straightener Help!

So last weekend, Spencer and I went to Washington D.C. for a J. Reuben Clark Law Society Conference. It was fun, and very tiring. WE really didn't have much time to do all the touristy stuff and we didn't even get to do a US Capitol tour. Which I am so bummed about, but we might go back for his spring break. Not quite sure. We were so busy with conference things all weekend, although we did get to go to the Air and Space museum, see the Washington monument and capitol. I also got to go to the Newsmuseum, which was awesome, and wished I had more time to spend there. We got to spend time with my sister, Amy and her fun family. I haven't seen them in 3 years, so it was worth it. I also go to see one my of all time best friend MEGHAN, and her new hubby Joey. That was way way way too short, only like for 2 hours, cause we had to drive back to GA. All in all, it was a wonderful weekend, and a great way for Spencer to learn more about internship process and put his name out there for help to get a job! Anyways back to my hair straightener crisis. I just bought one off of zulily for about $75. I am so mad and upset that it broke. I need a new one again now. I was planning on using this one for about 3 or 4 more years, but I guess I really didn't get that great of a one. IT was a T3 single pass, although it really wasn't a single pass. I really didn't like it that much, but it worked better than my old one that hardly gets hot now and I was pleased to use it for those next years until I could get a nice one. Well now I don't know which straightener to get. I found mine broken in two, I don't know how it happened, but I think someone stepped on it and it broke. I guess that is what I get when its basically plastic, like I said not the best one I've had. So I have used my friends CHI before and have always loved it and thought about getting one myself. There are more out there now that have great reviews as well like the HAI, SEDU, and the GHD? So which one do u prefer, and have you used any of the others ones to really now which is better. I have looked at so many reviews, I cannot think straight and tell which is better. I am thinking I should stick with the CHI, but if there is one better out there, PLEASE HELP ME!

Feeling bigger!

Everyday, after I eat, especially by the end of the day, I feel really big! When I wake up, I don't really feel it or see it too much, but after eating my tummy gets big. Is this normal? I think it is because I have seen and read other pregnancy blogs that have happened to them as well. I cannot wait for 3 more weeks and we get to find out the gender! What I really need to do, now that I have more energy again, is some workout. At work, I basically sit down all day and I feel like I need to get up about every hour to walk around. This makes me not so stir crazy, and helps with circulation with the baby. Occasionally I get to go out and help the other curators outside, which I like to do. At least I can keep doing it for now! What are some good workouts you have done when pregnant? I have heard yoga is good, and will definitely try that. Anything else? Spencer has been so cute, and makes me love him even more during my pregnancy. Always taking good care of me, rubbing my tummy, and giving it a kiss. I know he will be an amazing daddy come August! I was telling him yesterday how excited I am to have our baby in our arms, and that I couldn't wait another 5 months! It feels like forever, yet I know when I get closer I will probably be saying hurry up and get our baby out so I won't be uncomfortable anymore! I dunno I guess we will see. The only thing that makes me really nervous is the delivery. I haven't really read to much about the options and what all it entails, but that hospitals and needles don't mix well with me. I am definitely a give me my epidural kinda of person, I don't know if I could handle all the pain, but I don't want to see that huge needle go in my back either. EWWWW! Faint big time. I could hardly stand the doctors taking 7 viles of my blood. Ok breath..... anyways I am excited about everything else, but just worried/scared about delivery. At least science has come such a long way since a decade and they know what their doing! This past weekend, Spencer and I went down to Atlanta to stay with my brother Tristan, and his wife Erin and their son Parker. It was fun, of course I messed up with our restaurant experience. We went to try this Brazilian Steakhouse through a groupon deal and the service was kinda slow, food not that great (of course we kept comparing it to Tucanos), and even after our groupon we still had to pay $30 each. It was definitely not worth the money at all. It made me so mad how expensive it all was, on their website, don't even have the prices. Next time I am calling about the price to see how much everything is. It was still fun, just makes me want Tucanos to get our grilled pineapple and better meats!
