The Hairless Wonder

Here is something interesting.... the weirdness of pregnancy extends beyond the bounds of pregnancy... oh yes, it does. During pregnancy you get so used to really weird physical things happening to you that they start to not phase you at all. Now, the assumption is that this will end once the baby is out.... WRONG!!

The newest random thing I've noticed is that I am losing A LOT of hair. Like, clumps every time I brush it, or touch it. When this started happening, I was kinda worried. This is where I become very thankful for Google :) I found out that this is common and does not, in fact, mean that I am going bald. Apparently pregnancy hormones make you hold on to hair that you would normally shed. Well, once your hormones re-adjust, all the hair you would have lost over 9 months comes out in 1 month instead. I'm adding this to my list of things that nobody tells you before you have kids :P

Anyhoo, sorry for the late post.... I went to Katy Mills early this morning with my mom and logged 3 miles in air conditioned comfort :) We brought Micah home after that to eat and then we went to La Centerra and visited the Loft and Gymboree and I just now got home. Gosh, it feels fantastic to be writing so late because I was out doing something and not because I was passed out or trapped under a sleeping infant :)

Abby - My hair came out by the handfuls! It lasted forever but then one day it just quit. I didn't mind too much because my hair is so thick it was nice to have it naturally thinned out for awhile.
