Losing My Hair

One of the perks of pregnancy is that your hair stops falling out and becomes thicker. It is really quite fantastic and for those 9 blissful months you almost forget what normal shedding is.

Then about 2 or 3 months after your precious baby is born it happens. You are in the shower washing your hair when all of a sudden you have a fistful of loose strands in your hand. And it doesn't stop! Remember it was 9 blissful months of not shedding, your body has some catching up to do.

Fistful upon fistful of hair starts coming out, in the shower, when you brush, after a ponytail (the staple mom hairdo!). You start to see it on the floor, in your bed, and if you are incredibly lucky like me, in your toddler's poop. Yeah you heard me, in her poop.

That foolish thing eats hair. It started with her stuffed Kiwi but we didn't think she was eating it because we would find random wet tufts in her bed. It has since progressed to any and all fluff, the cat's hair, my hair, and she will even pull out her own and eat it. I am starting to get a little worried.
