bald.

I am going bald. I am sure of it. Why does no one warn you that all of that beautiful body and

glamorous hair you get during pregnancy is actually because you stop shedding when you are growing a human? SERIOUSLY for the last month I have been pulling chunks of long blond strands out of my poor little head. I know your body changes when you make a baby and I have to be honest most of those changes are less than glamorous but I was convinced that my new found luxurious hair with lots of body and extra shine was going to be something that I would be "stuck" with well after Miss.Max joined us in this world.  I mean your feet grow, your stomach and well pretty much everything else stretches like a pair of pair of yoga pants on a chunky person, your skin itches in a way that makes poison ivy feel good and even though your boobs grow - you know deep down that is only temporary well and because everyone reminds you that is only temporary.

This new found grasp of my daughters probably isn't helping the hair cause either... 

So why oh why can't we keep the hair? I have wanted thick hair that bounces around my whole life and now I can still have that if I make a WIG out of the pieces I pull off my brush every morning! And why don't we shed when we are growing babies - is that your body saving energy to help make sure your little one has all of the fingers and toes she is supposed to? What a crazy thing to have happen and it is even more depressing when it reverses itself. Depressing and messy. Our floor looks like a Super Cuts gone bad and the other day David sent me a picture of hair he pulled out of his underwear? How does that even happen? I have to be honest... I panicked for the first few days once these chunks started falling out like petals off of a dead flower but after some research and lots of lint roller sheets on my work attire I realized that this is yet another side effect of the little one that is peacefully sleeping upstairs right now...
