I’ve got mad fever!

No, I am not talking scarlet fever or hay fever… It’s SPRING fever around here! Thankfully we’ve kicked our cold (I should say E and I kicked it, N might be coming down with it now). So things are more productive here especially since the weekend was warmer than usual, basically it was NOT jacket weather [...]

The day of red

18 months ago, thanks to my Fertility Awareness Method charting I knew I was pregnant, before I’d even missed my period. Now, over a year later I am back in the world of fertile women and am reminded of how bad it sucks to have “that time of the month” again… Oh and we have to [...]

Road trip adventures Everly enjoyed.

Whew! After a week on the road we needed a day to decompress after getting back to Evansville. Yesterday we sat around in our PJ’s, did many loads of laundry, scrubbed cat vomit from the carpets, cleaned cat boxes… You know all the chores and stuff that go undone while you are away. Everly was a [...]

The last time I showered in New Mexico…

What is it with shower situations in New Mexico? We are spending the night in Tucumcari, NM this time around. We got a cheap hotel to spend the night in and unfortunately it only has a shower. You see it’s a cheap hotel, tiny, clean and shower-less with a super loud heater… You get what you [...]

Forging ahead – Bringing our car home from Arizona

We are on the road in our newly fixed car! After flying here and hanging out with family and friends it’s now time to make the trip back home, in our car. We spent much time this morning debating weather or not it was a good idea to make the trek up north to I-40 [...]

Live Blogging: Cat Swallows Needle

Here are my tweets as they played out during the night and early hours of the morning. I didn’t realized it would reach so many people. At first I was just tweeting so my husband would know what was going on, then I kept tweeting to be sure I didn’t leave anyone in the dark. [...]

Dazed, anxiety ridden and plagued with ham disease.

It’s true. N and I got the holiday ham that keeps on giving. It seems we have food poisoning or something… It’s been an ongoing thing for over a week now. We just tossed several pounds of ham leftovers after we figured it was the culprit, also tossed the spinach salad just for good measure. [...]

Christmas 2009 as parents.

I never thought I would be such a gingerbread cookie fiend! Last week we made up a ton of cookies to get in the holiday spirit and also so N would have cookies to take in to work for everyone. We’d been trying different gingerbread cookie recipes each year, nothing was particularly impressive and I thought [...]

Someone is excited about the holiday!

She’s not even walking yet and she’s already being a stinker about opening gifts early. After her gift snagging earlier in the week we moved all the gift bags and stuff with ribbon away from her reach. We thought the paper and curly ribbon was attracting her attention. Looks like she’s smarter about this gift [...]

A twitter addiction? Confessions and talk of loss.

I have a confession. I am fairly certain twitter is killing my creativity! I’ve been having issues with blog content since Everly’s birth. Sure I am a busy mom who is working part time in addition to caring for a new baby. Yeah, computer time is limited these days… The thing is it’s not the time that [...]

Baby leg warmers crochet fun

I’ve been working on making E a pair of baby legwarmers since October. I just finished them today which is kind of a big deal. You see I tend to start and never finish my knit and crochet projects… Today will probably be the only day she’ll wear them since it took me two months to [...]

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans…

All the trees are naked and it is very close to freezing at night now. Thanksgiving is just right around the corner and we aren’t really sure where the year has gone. Life is blowing by so fast and it just feels like we are standing here in a blur while it all swirls around us [...]

Today we are proud home owners!

Well, we’ve done it! Several years of planning and thousands of dollars later… We are now the proud owners of our own home! N was bummed that we had no “sold” sign to pose with out on the front lawn though… We may just have to stage it anyway, kind of like this: We went in [...]

Sigh… Rest and recuperation are in order.

This will be the first weekend in probably a month or so that we’ll have to relax and get caught up on things. Marching season has come and gone, my 9th marching season is now over. Sure winterguard plans and ideas are in the works but it wont be until January when the performance madness picks [...]

I should make a hair doll or something…

Posted on Oct 27 in parenting, personal storiesby TalinaPrint

When you are pregnant they tell you about how you’ll stretch, swell, bleed and even tear bringing your baby in to the world. They don’t tell you about all the fun things you have to expect from your body once the baby has arrived…

The loose hangy skin is a treat in the first few days following labor, then you’ve got the belly darkening and maybe some stretch marks or extra pounds to drop… What really kills me is the excessive hair loss though!

Sure, I’ve got lots of extra hair so I am not fretting too much about the thinning strands. What bugs the crap out of me is being tangled in stray hairs. They cover my carpets and floors and are all over the bed, my clothes and are even getting tangled around my fingers and nipples.

Yep, was breastfeeding E the other day I spotted a hair all wrapped around my freaking nipple. It could be a problem… What if it got all tight it could cut off circulation or something? My daughter could choke! It would be like a kiddo hairball.

N has to pull clumps of hair from the tub drain. I am brushing my hair and cleaning out the brush several times a day to cut down on the loose hairs. I’ve been vacuuming, sweeping and trying to keep the loose hairs under control. No matter how hard I try they are still falling out faster than I can clean them up. It’s super annoying!

Why didn’t anyone warn me and suggest I shave my head?

I can relate to hair falling out and thinning, but not in relation to childbirth! I had thick healthy hair until I bariatric surgery. After that the hair on the top of my head has thinned alarmingly. My youngest child was 10 years old at the time.

That was bad until I had radiation for a brain tumor and had a softball sized complete bald spot on the back of my head. I learned to HATE hats.

While I’m mostly sympathetic to the stress pregnancy, childbirth, and child raising has on one’s body… you ain’t gettin’ no sympathy on the hair loss problem!!!

LOL, i just want to shave it all off and be done with it. It’s easier that way. Either stay attached or don’t… No in between please!
