Baby hairs

I'm not sure how far into my pregnancy I noticed this, but at some point I stopped losing my hair.  At first I thought I got a really crappy haircut that was growing out badly and I cursed my lame, untalented stylist (I was an angry pregnant lady).  And then I did some reading and smartened up.  Apparently I wasn't alone - levels of estrogen hormones increase during pregnancy and for many women this causes hair to grow faster and fall out less.  So, I went to my not-so-stupid-after-all stylist who attempted to 'thin out' my hair.  It was a valiant effort, but it just ended up looked choppy and weird because, let's face it, I had a ton of hair. Thankfully, I was huge and past putting too much effort into looking cute so it didn't really matter.  About a month or two after I gave birth I was beyond tired of the mop taking up residence on my head and was relieved when my hair started falling out.  Normal hair, here I come!  

Fast forward a couple months later when I started to notice new little hairs growing along my hair line.  Hmmm...this is odd.  Have I always had these hairs and just never noticed them?  No, can't be.  I showed Brandon and he thought someone should study me.  New hair growth?  We could make millions!  But wait, why does my hair look thin on top?  That's not right.  I was telling our friends at Easter about what a freak I was becoming (because who doesn't like talking about abnormal hair growth at brunch?) when my friend pointed to her forehead - she had the same hairs, but about an inch or so longer, which made sense because she had her daughter about two months before I had Scarlett.  Duh.  I was growing my hair back!  At first I was annoyed that it was growing back so publicly in what Brandon calls my "parking spaces", but I've recently started to look at this as a badge of honor: I'm a new mom and dang proud of it.  See?  Look - baby hairs!
