I think that most of my friends know that I am a total party-pooper when I am pregnant. Well, let’s be honest. I’m kind of becoming a party-pooper in my old age. The thought of getting the family together to go “celebrate” is a little overwhelming. I can barely handle a simple trip to the park anymore! I had every intention of sleeping in on the 4th of July, thinking that maybe next year I would educate my children about this wonderful holiday and our magnificent country. Lucky for my girls, I have a good friend named Britt DeMill, who basically told me that I HAD to get up in the morning and join them and some other friends for an Independence Day Parade. My first reaction? You have GOT to be kidding. After a little arm twisting, I caved. And boy am I glad that I did. We had a great time, and the girls loved every second of it. Of course, people walked by and threw candy at them, so what’s not to love? Here are a few pictures from the big celebration.
Here’s Britt and I, being “cool” moms.
This is how we really felt. (I know it’s really hard to tell, but Britt has a little baby-belly as well.)
Now for a side-note. I’m sure you’re all looking at the belly thinking, “Uh…she is going to pop!” Yes, that’s exactly how I feel. I am due on the 16th, which is just 9 days away. However, I am being induced on Wednesday the 13th of July, so we have less than a week to go before we get to meet our little Brinley. I’m praying that Brinley will hold off her grand entrance until the actual induction. My mom and sister get here on Monday night, so we should have all of our bases covered!
Oh, and another side-note. I chopped my hair.

Why do I keep growing out my hair?!
