No, not my belly again, but my hair. I have continued to keep to my plan of not cutting my hair during my pregnancy, and seeing how much it will grow. I have been keeping up my high-lights and low-lights every few months (added a few more low ones today, and touched up my roots) but scissors have not touched my hair since April 26, when I was just a few weeks pregnant!
Wow, almost 8 months! While my hair has grown…it has not grown nearly as much as the hair of pretty well every other woman I know would grow if they went 8 months without a cut (most women I know would have hair way past their shoulders if they did that!). Oh well…slow growing hair has been a complaint of mine as long as I can remember. Luckily, the girl has her father’s fast growing hair!
Anyways…it is nice to have a bit more length, and I have grown to really enjoy my curly hair since I have stopped blow-drying and straightening it every day in order to keep it in good enough condition to not cut. The hair-dresser does straighten it though, and that is when I can best see it’s growth. So, a re-cap:
April 26
September 21
Today
Sorry, I could not get the flash right for the last picture!
Annoyingly, though my hair has not grown very much… my nose, neck , chin and even my lips seem to have taken on lives of their very own!
It is funny, everyone keeps telling me how my looks haven’t changed at all this pregnancy…but looking at the pictures you can see that they are wrong, and it has just been the gradual process of it that has made it less obvious.
