I say no hair changes or decisions for 6 months to a year after birth housecarder. The worst mistake I made with my hair was to keep cutting it when DD was a baby. I went from bra strap length to shoulder, to chin, to awful mom cut. Never again!
I've always kept it short so the growing it out was a change that happened this past year as a lazy nurse and pregnant woman. I always question whether or not to cut.
So I've been growing my hair out because I don't want to have to deal with it post partum. But today I started really missing my short hair.
Should I ignore the urge to chop it?
I chopped off a good 8-10" about a month ago (went from mid-back to between chin/shoulder length "lob") and am so glad I did. So much easier to maintain and I can wash and wear without styling if I don't want to. I know I could have just kept the length and thrown it in a pony, but the idea of a lightened load on my head was appealing.

katelou I've been living in pj pants and my baggiest t shirt. Throw on maternity jeans and one of my three tips that still fit if I have to go to the doc. I've even outgrown some of my maternity stuff

All of my maternity tops are 3/4 length sleeve or longer besides 3 tops and a dress. It is also hot and humid as balls so those 3 tops get rotated quite frequently! Even MH's t-shirts are too snug for me to wear so womp womp when that idea popped in my head. I am pretty sure my OB thinks I only own 1 outfit because I realized I have worn the same thing for the last 3 appointments. Oops.
rungirlrun, My god you're accomplished. I haven't even grabbed the newborn and 3 month clothes out of storage yet. MH is insisting that we need to get a move on because "this kid is coming early." Okay, glad you feel that way, bro. But that's so awesome that you've accomplished so much!!
madamewaffles, well the tuna is all about monetary gifts and says eff anyone who cops an attitude over it.
littlesthobo, Glad everything checked out alright. And yeah. There's no rest for the wicked or people who have kids.
housecarder, Ignore it!!! Remember how sweaty and disgusting you'll feel with anything touching your neck for a solid three months!? Well.... Maybe that was just me. But still.
I feel like I've just been busy and tired. It's hard to participate here or my other board, because I feel like all I want to do is bitch and complain. I promise I'll be more human once the parasite is evicted. Here's the latest bump pic. 33 weeks. Girl.
housecarder - I just chopped a good 6-7 inches of hair off two weeks ago and I'm so glad I did it. I know I won't have time to maintain long hair after baby arrives and I remember when DD used to nurse she would knot my hair. Definitely didn't enjoy that and don't want to deal with that again!
housecarder, I'm also in team chop it off. It is hot, it is summer, babies love to grab hair, short hair is less maintenance, and hair grows. I've never regretted a haircut.

housecarder I say chop too, since you're used to short hair. Not to mention the post partum hair loss!
katelou I've been recycling outfits like mad. I was thinking I would save some maternity stuff in case my sister ever wanted it, but most of it looks so ratty now that I'll just get her a gift card if she gets pregnant!
TheTuna15 don't be too impressed. 2 weeks ago I had done nothing baby related. I think the combination of moving at 37 weeks, my parents not flying out until 39 weeks to watch DS, and everything everyone else has done is starting to freak me out. Now I'm starting to think this baby is going to come early!
rungirlrun, MH keeps telling me I'm going to go early. And because he's always right.... (Insert eye roll) he's been nagging me about all of that stuff. I really want to do it. But.... No.
lostinfaith225, Lol! Thanks. But I wear them for sitting. I don't think I could actually do walking around in them. It's the hazard of selling clothes. I feel like I have to be dressed and pretty regardless of where im going so I represent well.
