Shedding

Dear KK,


It is important for sisters to tell each other a lot of things.  It is especially important for the oldest sister to tell the younger sister about what happens when you are pregnant and from there on.  Last summer I shared with you a lot of woes about being pregnant while you lived with us.  I am sure you probably would not want to ever be pregnant, except for the fact that my babies are so cute and amazing.  


Well, now I am sharing something weird about after having a baby.  Shedding.  I mean, you start shedding the hair on your head like crazy about 4 or 5 months after you had the baby.  It is somewhat sad, because during the pregnancy hair grows in thicker and shinier, but it does not last.


I am currently in this stage of shedding and it is so gross.  I find hair after hair on my poor boys.  Baby Cub always seems to have a piece of hair entangled in his chubby fingers.  When I blow dry my hair, a significant hair ball forms in my hand as I run my fingers through my hair.  In the shower, I shed enough hair to clog the drain every time.  It is so GROSS!   What I can't remember is how long this phase lasts?  At least I can take confidence that I will not shed until I am bald.  I still had hair after T Bear.


So there you have it, a weird thing about life after babies.  Don't you feel so lucky to have a sister to tell you these things?  I think you should.


love
