Seriously

Lately there has been an infestation in our house. It's everywhere; no space is to be spared. Even the cute little chubby folds in Morgan's neck can't hide from it. It's my hair. It is falling out in mass amounts and I am SICK OF IT! I pull out handfuls everyday while I am in the shower, only to find more in my towel, more on the floor, more in my clothes, more in my child's mouth. My hair falls out after I have a baby and we have now entered the critical mass fall-out point where I decide to chop it all off.

So this is basically what my hair looks like now.




I usually have it in a pony tail, otherwise it gets all over everything, as painfully detailed up above. I was hoping to go get it cut like this. . .





But after my hair started shedding, I was thinking more like this. . .





But at the rate it is going, I am seriously considering this. . .


Seriously, it's getting that serious. Seriously.

You gotta love the fantastic stage that we mothers go through several months after the baby comes.

I think you should go for it! Not the bald one...but you should definitely give it a chop! I loved your hair in your engagement pictures. I also like the chin length cut in the second picture of Jessica Alba. Please tell me you'll NEVER go blonde like that though!!! heehhee!

Go for it, go for it, go for it....can you tell I'm all for ya choppin it off???

And yes, Spencer is becoming JUST like your dad!

Heather said...

I'm all for the chop too. UHHH.. let's hear more about Mike and Spencer the twins.

You are killing me. I am laughing too much to even take it seriously. I love your hair. It is a rich color and very healthy. I am a scardy cat at cutting my hair so I never do it. But I LOVE when people go to those sassy short cute. Love them!!!! So, I think you wold look fabulous with a chop, but I do love your long hair as well. I just loved all the pics. :)

Cut it off! Cut it off! Cut it off!

Libby said...

i love your hair...don't cut it!!! why in the world does our hair have to fall out after having a baby?! i don't get it! but seriously...i love your hair...don't cut it!

Libby said...

by the way i did just cut bangs- serious bangs- across my forhead bangs. it is kind of fun!

Gina said...

Do it! I LOVE short hair! I love long hair too but once it gets too thin it's just not the same. I am all for the chop off, but I'll support you either way :)

I hate Jessica Alba, she's too pretty it's just not fair. Ok, so I know the post was about you, but the whole time I was thinking about how I would pay lots of money to look like her. SO, back to you, I say keep it long. Even if you cut it, your hair will still be everywhere, just slightly shorter lengths of it. Although, since Claire has the Suri Cruise haircut, you might as well go for the Katie Holmes Cruise do.

I know what you mean Melanie- looking at that top picture of her makes me want to go tanning. . . and lose 50 pounds.

Jessica said...

i also think you should cut it off. you have awesome hair and could totally pull off the short look. but we both know i am all for short hair, so i am biased.

Shells said...

I vote for short. I loved your hair when you chopped it off in college. You wore your hair curly more often when it was short.

Wendi said...

I think short would be awesome. Its always fun to have a change and heck, its hair. It'll grow back soon enough. That said, please don't do haircut #3.

Carrie said...

Okay, the girl in the second picture looks a lot like you, so I think you would look great with that haircut. (Is it bad that I don't know who any of these people are?)

I say go for short. It's a fun adventure to chop off a lot of hair.

Please read my June 1st post on this subject.

Amy said...

Mine did that too! It got so disgusting. It only barely started getting better. Talk about wreaking havoc on our plumbing!

Liz said...

I hate shedding! I say go bald. I've always wanted to, but I'm a little too chicken. Plus I think Dan would kill me. :) So, if you do it first, then MAYBE I'll follow suit. :) Good luck with that!

Shells said...

Hey, since Jessica Alba is now expecting, maybe she will go bald.

Brooklet said...

What? I haven't heard this. Is the breaking news? Or is it from Us magazine???

tharker said...

No, she confirmed it last week. She and her boyfriend are expecting baby number 1 in the early summer.

WHAT is with Hollywood? WHY can't anyone have a child with an ACTUAL spouse????

Monica said...

I think you should cut it short. You and Claire could have matching haircuts.
