The 'hair cut'

This is the first 'tuft' of hair I saw as I wandered upstairs.....





Here is the wad of hair I found in the toilet, I guess at least she cut her hair over the toilet.




Here you can see the very short chunks she cut out of the side of her hair :(




It was mostly her right side, I tried to trim it and make it even, but she has so much hair it came out uckky- again I am no pro. We ended up at the mall today and I got her hair cut. With the humidity today it dried funny and I thought, it'll do. But she just took a bath, and I blew it dry and she looks VERY cute!!

We cut it shorter for the summer. I will post picks tomorrow, we also had a 'photo shoot' before the hair cut... Some funny pics, she actually let me pose her-LOL- you'll see.

It may be TMI-you've been warned

So I have been considering posting this for the past two days. I wasn't sure how people would react to the *TMI*....Well I am too excited and amazed that I must post/vent. I have PCOS, I think I may have mentioned in a previous post. Basically I have a bunch of hormonal issues, a few being : hair loss (which is depressing me more and more- I used to have great hair), acne (not so much an issue, not like when I was younger- I would trade the clear face for a head full of hair anyday), I don't ovulate on my own (used fertility to have my Emmy) and then I have CRAZY abnormal periods (had them 2-4 times a yr until I was about 21- then they disappeared for good). I had my first very- own (no medical intervention) period in 10yrs the month I got pregnant with Emily and then about a 1yr & 2mos after I had Emily, I had a period. I was so surprised, I remember when learning about breastfeeding they said you can go a yr without a period, but I didn't listen because I thought that didn't apply to me. So after that first surprising period, I had a few more that year. Ever since then I have had one here and there. But this is the crazy part, I had one last month and again this month. Two in a row,that just doesn't happen to me. Why is this exciting or why am I happy about this? Well to me this means I may be ovulating on my own. I want another baby or at least I wanna try for another. I need to lose about 30-40lbs first (weight gain another fun side effect of PCOS insulin is my enemy) . Part of me feels like I wasted a month, a month I may have become pregnant on my own- but the other part of me is like I could have become pregnant last month-wooo hooo!!! I need to get my buns in gear and strictly adhere to my WW pts so I can lose the lbs. I also need to start charting my temperatures so I can see if anything is happening. They say that women with PCOS sometimes find getting pregnant the second time around is easier, I hope this applies to me. We can't afford the meds I used to have Emmy and once we are in the 'country' my RE will be far away. I know I am just babbling away here, but I am soooooo excited!!!!!!!!

Wish me baby luck!!

I'm brushing my teeth mom......

I sent Emily upstairs for a quick nap this afternoon. She was up there for about 15mins and I heard her in the bath room. " Em what are you doing up there?" "Just brushing my teeth Mom". I heard her jump into bed and everything went quiet. About 20 mins later I went upstairs to check on her and maybe catch a few zzzzz's with her. As I walked upstairs I saw this tuft of hair in the hallway and then another on the bathroom floor.......OMG.........I said "Emily, what did you do???" as I walk into my room she pulls up the covers over her head. I then walk in to the bathroom to check everything out, and in the toilet is ALOT of hair. I almost start to cry, I say again "Emily, what did you do?" she starts to cry.....OMG, I felt so bad, My poor baby cut her hair. I didn't want to scare her, it wasn't the end of the world, she was safe. But all I could think was my poor, cute, adorable little girl is broken, her hair is a mess. I can't believe it. I will post pictures later. I was able to cut it and make it look cute- I am no pro- but it will do. She is so at that stage where she gets into everything, she was never like that so we never really "baby proofed" the house. I guess I need to re-evaluate that. UGH

Boat trip, we finally made it.











Here are a few pics from the boat ride last Friday, it was well worth the wait. The weather was much nicer than it was Thurs and Emily loved hanging with the 'big kids'. The boat was adorned with a pirate flag and captained by 'Jack Sparrow' himself. Just a fun filled beautiful day,it was so nice for the 4's to let us tag along.

Rainbows











We saw the most amazing double rainbow yesterday....It was the coolest thing ever. I wish I could have gotten the whole rainbow in one shot. Check out a couple of my shots, you can barely see Emily in the first one-she is my 'pot of gold'.
