Ahhhh. I may have blocked this from my brain with prior babies, but I don't remember it lasting this long before. I'm almost 6 months pp now.

I ended getting a haircut. Chopped off about 4 inches. And so far its been much better.

I also chopped off about 4 inches! I don't think it has helped with the shedding though...

[rachelilly23]

Yeah, my hair is still everywhere... not as bad as before, but I don't see the loss slowing down too much :/

[katespade]

I got like 5 inches of hair cut off (I did not intend to have that much cut off but oh well) and it has only helped in that the chunks I lose aren't over a foot long.

But this is my life right now:

[katespade]

It's mostly covered when my hair is down, but if I pull it back at all, the thin spot is visible. I feel like I'm rocking a hairline combover.

Why am I getting TAT notifications for like everything now?? Was there an update? How do I make them stop?

Same. I cut 2 inches off about 7 weeks ago but I think I'm going to do have to do it again. Mine is so thin to begin with, so this shedding period is just depressing.

[rachelilly23]

Lol peachesncream. I thought about quoting you back... but yeah....email... hah!

[jewel441]

Officially something on LO's wall. I may make some more to make it bigger and I keep rearranging them... So still WIP but yay crafts!

I have bald patches in the front of my head.

I lose handfuls still every day

LT for commiseration.

It's so bad. I don't have thick enough hair for this. I feel like the women in the Rogaine commercials.

So one of our aussies got hurt yesterday. One of his back legs got gnarled up pretty bad. I took him to the vet (w B that was fun), and they gave us some antibiotics, pain pills & cleaner with instructions to keep him quiet & dry/clean.

I feel bad for the poor guy. I know he's hurting, but he's also pretty dramatic about any & all injuries. Like magnifies them 10 fold. He's going to milk this for all it's worth & more. (and I'll go along w it)

[sctiger]

+1 to the thin hair and shedding. I hate it! I need to make a hair appointment.

Does anyone else use the nextdoor app? This woman in our community posted this video from the security camera outside her house of this woman who is barely wearing any clothing and vaping pull into her driveway, getting out of her car, walking onto her front porch, taking a potted plant and then putting it in her car and driving away. WTAF.

Maybe i am being oversensitive, but i am kind of surprised (disappointed) that my post-partum doula hasnt checked in on us at all. She was with us for 5 weeks and grew close to all of us, especially my younger two.
Its weird because I think about her, and wonder if she thinks about us. I sound like i just got dumped :/
Anyway, am i expecting too much? It has been three months, and its been radio silent...

Yup. Still shedding. Cannot wait for it to be done. Tired of hair fucking everywhere. Tired of the tickle of hair on the backs of my arm. It has to be done soon, right? Please, please be done soon.

What do you do when nothing makes your kid happy? We had one of those days yesterday and I feel like I have permanent hearing loss from from the screaming. I felt like a shit mom and had trouble sleeping because of it. He woke up at 2:00. Our daycare lady text at 3:00 to let me know her family had been sick all weekend. I woke up covered in milk at 4:00 and up for the day at 5:00. It's going to be a long day.

Hope today is a better day. Those days are so hard.

I know nothing about what to expect from a doula, but sorry you're feeling dumped! I guess I would be a little surprised at no check-in after 5 weeks. Is she supposed to help you connect to other moms or just keep an eye out of pp stress? Is she someone you want as a friend and not just as a doula?

J napped for 3 and 1/2 hours at daycare yesterday and was totally pleasant. I'm glad he's happy there, but damn that's frustrating. It just makes me wonder what I'm doing wrong at home.

What is up with my boobs? I'm waking up soaked and engorged. I haven't pumped MOTN in weeks. This should not be happening.

I feel like I'm slipping into this constant negativity thing and I don't like it. I need something positive to focus on.

I know it's not exactly the same, but as a nanny, I tend to not have much contact with the families I've worked with after moving on. The few times I have talked to them after moving on, it's been kind of awkward with not a ton to say. And we've always Peter amicably, usually they were moving away or starting preschool. I've usually moved on to another family and they have found a new childcare solution and our lives don't have much in common anymore besides "how's the child doing?" Sorry, probably not the answer you were hoping to hear. She's most likely moved on to another family and busy with her job with them.

You are overtired; it's okay that you aren't positive 100% of the time.

I tried to join the site wide NHIE, but after pg 10 I'm tired. And I can't think of anything good.

Most likely nothing! I remember DD doing this same thing when she was this age. I'd try and recreate daycare setup at home (where he sleeps, room darkness, temp, loudness etc) and it still wouldn't work. She eventually started sleeping better at home for naps. Now this LO does whatever he wants and doesn't always sleep at daycare either lol, I cannot figure him out.

Okay, here's a random question: anyone have luggage recommendations? I'm going to be preparing to go back to school and need to buy a new suitcase fit for the task of carrying my life but also not going to cause me to pay extra on the overseas flight--so hardy, large, and light. Easily transportable and pretty are pluses.

My previous suitcase (1960's powder blue luggage from Goodwill) kicked the bucket when I was pregnant and moving abroad by myself last year which was not ideal. Especially wandering around old cobblestone streets with a broken suitcase while trying to read a pathetic street map while jet lagged and bloated was not cool.
