On my back.
Dangling off my hung-up clothes and towels.
At my desk.
On the couch.
On the toilet.
On the WALLS.
In the bed.
Stuck to my feet.
In the FREEZER.
Probably in my food.
In my bra.
In the baby's hands.
In the baby's mouth.
All over the floor.
But not...on my head.
I speak of my hair.
It looks like a fluffy black squirrel lives in my trash can. I pull out clump after clump and have nightmares about baldness. Washing my hair takes 3 times as long, because I spend most of the shower managing the fall-out. Oh, the water I waste peeling strands off the various body parts it is stuck to.
I get it -- it's just another one of those post-pregnancy perks, and it happens to everyone. It doesn't make it any less disgusting or traumatizing. Please someone, tell me when this will end.
And what is the point of this please? Is it just another* type of nature's "don't have another one too soon" birth control? Did Father Nature** decide, "Let's just make these ladies into mood-swingy balding bitches with ever sagging racks and clumps of hair trailing their every move so they won't attract anyone to even be able to conceive another baby too soon?" Unfair.

At least Dilan is keeping me company. Check out her mullet.
*Apparently exclusive breastfeeding is 75% effective as birth control. 100% would be fine, thanks.**If Nature was truly "Mother", we'd get to keep our hair.

Yeah, my quote to Bronson was it looks like we live with a big hairy dog! Hair everywhere. It took 2 months for me and I definitely wasn't bald after it was all over! It does suck.
ok, I'm not saying this to rub it in, but this isn't happening to me....which is a miracle, considering I've had every other preggo and post-preggo nightmare side effect. Maybe the pregnancy gods are smiling on me to make up for the hemorrhoids. (TMI? sorry.)
But rest assured Cora has a matching mullet. I love it!
Oh yeah... I was ready to start taking Rogaine. Mine has finally grown back to its normal length... of course, I just had to have part of it shaved (email me and I'll tell you the gory details... got hit by a car while jogging) - now I get to experience regrowth all over again without a cute little newborn to show for it! Love the baby mullet - Gracie had a similar one. So cute!
I remember this...it was about 4 months postpartum that mine kicked in. I think it's gone away or maybe I've gotten used to it (ack...I hope not!) Anyway, maybe mine lasted a few weeks? And, yes it sucks and is kind of gross! Love Dilan's do!
