My hair has really come in and I rarely cover my head anymore. This is a new development in the last few weeks, as my comfort level with my new coiffe grew and the kids' did as well. The first place I ever went with a bare head was to Pilates at our YMCA and it was no big deal because almost everyone else in the class had short hair. I have my italian genes to thank for the lightening fast regrowth I'm experiencing. Right now I look like Fantine, but a really romanesque Fantine so I guess that makes me Patti Lupone? Seriously, could it get any better? I would argue that no, it could not. But, I couldn't find a picture of Ms. Lupone as Fantine post hair selling when I made this:
Anne Hathaway as Fantine vs. Do you know how hard it is to take a profile selfie and also my neck isn't that short but I had a cowl neck sweater on. |
So that's my hair update. I'm really feeling better all the time. Avery continues to do beautifully and is now in the 22nd percentile for length and the 40th for weight so not only is she on the chart...she is ON the chart. She's our little sweet fatty baby. As for our 4 month milestone, she's not that impressed:
What's the big deal Mom? Aren't we just always going to be kicking ass on a daily basis? |
First for Ava who was diagnosed with brain cancer a few weeks ago. Her Dad Jeff is a friend from my days as a cheerleading instructor with the National Cheerleaders Association. Jeff and his partner brought Ava to the ER and were told she had a brain tumor the size of tangerine. The tumor has been removed and now they face treatment. Please pray for Ava, her dads, her sister, and everyone who treats her.
Please also pray for a little boy named Benjamin. I don't know Benjamin or his family personally, but we have many friends in common. Benjamin is another child whose parents found out their child was facing brain cancer. Benjamin's cancer is very aggressive and he, his parents, his siblings, and his treatment team need our prayers. Please pray for them. That link is for an event that already passed, but please continue to pray.
Hope all is well with you dear readers!
Prayers flying their way and let me say you rock the short hair. Also you're putting me to shame -- Pilates once a week and laps several days a week?! What the wha
