On most days, I love being pregnant! I love feeling that baby inside me. I love reading pregnancy books (even on my third pregnancy.) I love the planning, the anticipating, and buying new, soft baby clothes. I love brainstorming names and dreaming about my baby's personality.
But...on other days I notice the weird things that it does to my body. Like...new hair, for example. I have hundreds of new little hair growths that are flying everywhere. They have a mind of their own. I can't tame them. Truly. I have tried so many products. Nothing works. And, then there is the issue of clothes, but I am not ready to talk about my depressing maternity wardrobe yet.
I better go read a baby name book to get out of this slump.
I totally understand this! Oh, the fun things that happen to our body. I need to get some prenatal yoga info from you- I bet it feels great! Do you have tapes you do?
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm here to solve your problem. When my hair started growing in like crazy after I had my last baby, I tried everything too, nothing worked until someone suggested clear mascara... Worked like a charm! A bit of that stuff and your little hairs will stick down. Promise! You'll thank me.
ReplyDeleteno way, Amber!? I am TOTALLY going to try that! Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteAm totally feeling the pregnancy "yucks" today. I am 38 weeks along, big, fit into none of my clothes (am not goingto buy more when I only have 2 weeks left), hot (as in "sweating hot" not "sexy hot". I sympathize or maybe just want some sympathy of my own...hehehe...but lets not forget how AMAZING it is to have that baby growing inside and how blessed we are :o)
ReplyDeleteoh and by the way, you look GREAT in your pics!
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem. Lot's of new hair. I am SO going to try what Amber suggested!
ReplyDeleteI HATE PREGNANCY HAIR!! It is the worst! I don't know if you have tried my stuff, but TIGI wax stick by bed head works SOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!
ReplyDeleteJust know that you truly glow Hannah. Seeing you in church on Sunday, you looked so pretty.
Go buy some new clothes, it makes you feel better. Even if it is just a new shirt. That always helped me when I was preggers!:)
LOVE the new blog layout. SOOOOOO CUTE!

I remember having the same problem and solved it by using a hair wax. You look beautiful in those pictures! I wish that is what I looked like in "awkward" pictures!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya about the hair! After my first son was born the hair started growing and it's conintued ever since. Oddly enough while it grows at the front I seem to be shedding from the back like crazy- weird hormone tricks!
ReplyDeleteCheck out the book 'Active Birth' by Janet Balaskas and 'The Business of Being Born' DVD. They are both great resources!
you are trully beautiful and little fly aways do not dtract from that.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the pregnancy, btw. I don't think I've said that yet. I hope it goes well for you.
Love Wendy
I didn't notice the fly aways at church! You look great!
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel, it seemed like my belly and my chin were prime real estate during my pregnancy. Luckily my tweezers bring mucho satisfaction and the baby bump, so worth it! And were those pink nails I saw? You look great!
ReplyDeleteha. yes, vanessa. I have bright pink nails. color picked by my 4-year-old daughter. and surprisingly, i love having super-bright fingernails. :)
ReplyDeleteI always have those flyaways - not sure what to do about them. My babe is almost 2!! Gotta love having babies, though.
ReplyDeleteHi Hannah...thanks for stopping by my blog this morning.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your pregnancy. What a beautiful and special time. Even with all the oddities. When I was pregnant every time I opened the freezer I thought I could smell the ice (from the icemaker) and that it stunk. I would dump the bucket out and start all over and the next time I opened the freezer I could smell it again!!! CRAZY!
Hannah, thanks for stopping by my site but especially thank you for leaving a comment! Making new blogging friends is always fun...and welcomed!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but I've got no advice for the fly away hairs. My problem when I was pregnant was pretty much the opposite. I was sooo sick, all the time, that I had a vitamin deficiency and my hair became coarse and brittle. So many new and strange things happen to your body when your pregnant but thankfully it all works out in the end and then you're rewarded with a tremendous gift for your efforts. My two kids are 24 and 21 and I still think of them as my gifts!
Good luck with your fly aways, but truthfully, you look beautiful! Take care and have a great week!
Congrats on your new little bean growing inside you! Oh, I definitely want a third but I do not envy you for being preggers right now! I have an 8 month old so that may have something to do with it...
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog! What a gorgeous blog you have, I especially love your title! And Congrats on your baby - pregnancy does do the funniest things to your body, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteThose little baby hairs take FOREVER to grow back in, too. What is up with that? Shouldn't we get something good out of being pregnant.
ReplyDeleteWait. We get the baby. That's pretty good, I guess. :-)
Congrats on baby number 3! I think the baby name dreaming and all of the anticipation is definitely so fun!
ReplyDeleteBTW, you might try a matte finish pomade on those fly aways. =)
Hi hannah,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog - so sweet of you when it hasn't been updated in months. Believe it or not you inspired me to update a bit more often - planning a new post for tonight! I've just taken a quick peek at your blog and can see it's going to have heaps of great inspiration for me. Congrats as well on baby 3, I hope this pregnancy is great for you!
Liesbeth :)
a friend just recommended your blog. congratulations on your pregnancy. good luck with the fly aways! i remember what a pain they were!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Being pregnant is wonderful. My baby is 17 years old now. Thanks for stopping by my blog today.
ReplyDeleteI didn't mond my new hair all that much... now that my baby is 4 months, I really hate all that new hair falling off my head everywhere....
ReplyDeleteIt really is all so exciting. I however lost a good deal of hair while pregnant and it never grew back in. I think your are getting a better deal. :)
ReplyDeleteGotta love the crazy things pregnancy does to the body. I haven't had the weird hair fly-away thingy yet though....
ReplyDeleteBy the way....LOVE the new design of the blog....truly I do!!
