Dang, confused, great work in 7 weeks!
Don't worry about pulling your own scores. No matter where you pull them from, it's a soft inquiry, and it doesn't hurt your scores. If you ever pull a full report directly from the credit bureaus, either your annual freebie or paid for, you'll see two separate sections of inquiries. Your own score pulls will be in a section called "scores viewable only by you", or some such --those are all softs: not scored, and not viewable by lenders.
The scores you pulled today should be the same scores as your lender sees, with the possible exception of TU. TransUnion commissioned a new FICO formula a while back, and some lenders are using the new one, and some are using the old one, which appears here. (myFICO will switch to the new one when 50+% of lenders use the new one.) But I don't think that it will affect you. My understanding is that the only change in the new one is that it will calculate all lines of credit as revolving and some other specialized quirks.
Good luck in the morning! Please let us know how it went.
