I guess the only good thing about the pp hair loss I've experienced is the hair on my legs and underarms have lessen as well. Anyone else experienced this too?
15 weeks pp and not losing my hair yet, but have massive cyst-acne in uh, many spots. (ON MY LADY FLOWER and also my chin)
Speaking of lady flower; locked mine down today. Praise be the IUD. It was pain free and looking forward to the double check placement ultra sound so that we can ditch condoms.

Bah!!! It's snowing like heck here in NY.....I just want to go home!! DH's job let him leave at 11 and told him it was stupid for him to come in. My job...They don't give a rat's patootie....there was a mention of MAYBE leaving early, that was hours ago. Um, it's 3:30 already.

I started losing my hair really early - like 5 weeks pp. I'm still losing some, but it has slowed down. I'm going shopping for an Easter basket for Myles today. Very excited! Easter was my favorite holiday growing up. Of course it helped that my mom treated it as almost the equivalent of Christmas as far as gifts were concerned.
I haven't lost any hair (other than what's typical), bracing myself for that! Speaking of cysts, I'd never had one until I got pregnant. Now I have 2! One is right by my eye and I need to make an appointment with the ophthalmologist to have it removed. It's small. But there's a big one on my back. My dermatologist tried to talk me out of removing it because I guess it's a surgical procedure! Has anyone here had a cyst removed? Eww, sorry to get all gross. Pregnancy does strange things to our bodies!
jjh1119 Good points about formula. Thanks for chiming in. Not everyone can make breastmilk, or make enough...thank goodness we have options available to us!

Ladies I have a crazy obsession right now with making things with oats & Brewers yeast. Yesterday it was lactation cookies (I used the recipe songbirdsinging55 shared .... Sooo good!) Today I made energy bites (called boobie bites on Pinterest). I literally want to put oats, flax seed & Brewers yeast in everything. I think I have a problem!

I'm losing hair too. I'm just trying not to think about it.
Today is H's and mine dating anniversary. We do Valentine's today so that it isn't on the day that everyone else is buying flowers and cards just because Hallmark told them too. We went out to eat and M was soo good. He was cranky because he missed a nap (his fault, not mine!) but he sat in my lap and drooled happily. By the end he was soaked head to toe in either drool or leaky diaper but he didn't seem to mind.
I nursed while we were out! With my shield, without a cover, without making a scene. I nursed for a full feeding earlier today without the shield, too. Major bfing victories here today!
I missed y'all today... we were busy and our tub FINALLY has the mold gone.
Oh, and H's knee is feeling better when he wears his newer shoes. That is huge, because yesterday we were literally thinking knee surgery for him in the near future. I would much rather buy a new pair of shoes (or 10!) than have him go through surgery right now.
Oh! Got my IUD today. It was a breeze. This ute is locked down. Phew.
Tomorrow is wfh day. I've almost survived the week!
millm0m i wish it was just a standard pimple, but theses cysts? Ughhhh
calimomof1 i read something online once that said "feed the baby and feel happy when you're feeding the baby". Babyhood is too short to fret and whatever you can do is great!
wildflower810 that is awesome! Especially with the shield! I can relate because we used one for 10 weeks and the only place I tried to nurse other than home was at 2 month shot appointment and it's a challenge! You are a rockstar! So happy you enjoyed date night
Add me to the hair falling out (just started in the last week) and cystic acne club...yay for pp bodies. Oh and none of my pre pregnancy pants fit or are even close to because 1-i am still carrying 10 lbs of extra weight and 2-i actually have hips now
kfaye my prepreg pants aren't even close. I ended up buying some a size up to get through until they do. Magically. Because I eat all the things and do none of the exercise...
RANT: My father in law stopped by for a surprise visit driving through town. Made no mention of staying for dinner, but he did! And didn't ask. Which made things dicey because I was having my dad over for dinner because my mom is on a girls trip to NYC. I barely had enough chicken and dumplings for everyone. How RUDE is it to expect a mother of a 3 month old to provide you with dinner on NO notice. Ughhhhhhhhhh. Ok sorry. End rant :/
+1 for Team hair-loss and acne. By the handful and cystic. At least I'm back to my pre preg weight. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. As if. No clue what I'm going to wear to work next week.
In better news, I think we found a fantastic baby-sitter for LO. So relieved.

calimomof1 I'm almost 16 weeks pp and have been shedding for weeks. I think it's starting to slow down but that might just be wishful thinking on my part.
I also wanted to comment on the Freemies. The cups are odd looking under my clothes (like the worst boob job ever) but they work great for me. I'm able to continue working while I pump. It's awesome.
