Went to my soon to be MIL's house and she has a picture of SO and me hanging up. We look so young and skinny. I was 10 weeks pregnant in it, so before the bloat/ bump/ giant ass.
I've had every hair color imaginable (except green and blue…wouldn't work with my coloring).
You and I have very similar coloring. Dark would look good *accept* when people with our coloring go for dark hair, I found that I needed to wear make-up every day or else I looked very washed out and very sickly.
So, just keep that in mind. I loved my dark hair, but I wouldn't do it now, because I don't always have the time to put on a full face of make-up and I don't want to get asked "Are you sick?" on the days I don't.
alayne926, that last picture might be a little on the dark side, but I think you could totally pull off being a redhead.
My problem has always been that if I die my hair too dark then it doesn't look right with my eye brows. If I use a darker pencil with them, then I don't look like myself, IMO. I don't look good as a redhead either. So I am perpetually stuck in the medium brown to blond family.
Holy cow. DS just broke out in a terrible rash - all over his back, face, legs and arms! It happened with a span of about 10 minutes! Waiting not so patiently for the doc to call me back.
Hoping for your sake it isn't Roseola. But when DD got it it seemed to appear out of nowhere.

The nurse called back and said ots probably a reaction to something...no idea what. They aren't even going to see him, just told me to give Benadryl. What does roseola look like??? What he has looks like splotchy welts (if that makes sense).
The only other thing i could thing of with a rapid rash is scarlet fever.
I want it all chopped off into a bob and then dyed a reddish-copper but H got the face on about it so I figured it was easier not to do it than argue. I realize that makes him sound really controlling, he's not, just really whiny and apparently very opinionated on hair.
I understand. MH is very opinionated about my hair too. I love going red, but he thinks I look awful (everyone else always compliments me). He also prefers me with short hair, which I usually do too. He had no opinions on hair until meeting me. Currently I'm growing my hair out and he hasn't said anything, got to love that the baby is a distraction.
I'm kind of creeped out. I was walking up and down the driveway with the dog and baby for exercise. (it's 200 or so metres long) Towards the end of the driveway I was going to turn back around when a white truck slowed down then stopped. My dog went charging and barking,as he does, but I called him over and we went back to the house. The guys inside rolled down the window and just watched me walk back up, without a word, then drove away.
My driveway is on a hill, so it wasn't even a safe place for them to have stopped. I don't know why they stopped to begin with. It kind of looked like they were planning to turn in but then they saw the dog. I'm glad he's scary looking.
My husband left his phone at home so I can't even call him. :-(
This place is a ghost town. Did everyone leave for fb or what?
I feel like not a lot of people check in here anymore unless its Thursday or Friday. They like the possibility of drama I guess;) I'm not on FB so i have no idea if the group on there is more active...
Some of us bounce back and forth, but I know there are a few people who are more active over there than here. I haven't been around much today, between pointless doctor appointments and a baby who is refusing to nap. Well, until now. He just passed out, so now to decide if I should stick him in bed an hour early or wake him up in a little bit for his nighttime bottle.
I've never dyed my hair. Dying red hair is pretty impossible!
That's weird, @babybean9!
Fellow redhead here.. I used to try to dye my hair all the time in middle school when Id help my girlfriends do theirs and be so bummed out because I got no results. You really cant dye over top of red hair. Finally in my late 20s I got brave enough to do it the only way possible, which is to bleach the color out completely and dye the bleached hair. I figured Id go balls to the wall at that point and dyed blue and purple stripes into it

@jemomma glad everythings clearing up with ds! It always surprised me how different pedis respond different ways to rashs. I work in early childhood so we deal with mystery rashes all the time and I always lean towards caution since you just never know, but the range of things we hear back was always surprising to me! Kids are a weird mystery.. sometimes they just turn red and splotchy for no apparent reason I think!!!
Happy he's okay. I know it was probably really scary!
I've been around, just couldn't seem to get a minute. The fb group isn't super active but some people are more active over there now. I have to admit I just wasn't super interested in hair color. I do miss the WTF Wednesdays though. I have a couple: MIL why did you ask for suggestions about gifts for LO for Christmas and then when we told you we'd like baby/toddler dishes your response was "But I got you those for your shower". OMG you got us ONE bowl. ONE.....if you didn't want suggestions don't ask....

I'm guilty of not being as active....work is killing me right now (lots of deadlines all at once) and our computer system is being to temperamental and slow. Maybe to give me preview of what having a toddler will be like?? I'm lurking and LTing until I get my head above water!
