So as I was setting up my blog account this morning I was thinking to myself, "What the heck am I going to write about once I get this thing set up?" So I figured I would just go with the first 3 issues I had this morning!
My New Grill lol.........
First issue this morning, my super cool new braces! My braces weren't just an issue this morning, they're pretty much an issue with every meal I eat, so as I was eating my breakfast this morning I couldn't help but notice that with every bite more and more of my cereal was getting stuck in them and the more I was thinking about how I can't wait to get these bad boys off! I've had them on for almost 2 months now and I am getting used to them and my teeth are actually moving pretty fast! It's getting easier and easier to eat and every day I am getting better and better at popping the food that gets stuck in them out with my tongue! Pretty cool huh? Although having braces when you're almost 26 kinda sucks, it's not all that bad. One cool part about them is that if you eat something yummy (like chocolate) there is always some left over for later, just when you think "awww....dang it, all my chocolate is gone, I wish I had some more" BAM, surprise!!, a little extra piece of deliciousness was left on your bracket! I don't know about you, but thats enough to turn my frown upside down! Besides the occasional soreness and food getting stuck in your teeth it's a manageable situation with big rewards!
Leaky Boobs....
Next issue of the morning, MY WHOLE LIFE REVOLVES AROUND MY BOOBS! Seriously! Charlotte is the ultimate booby baby and Oh...I'm a dairy farm! I'm convinced that if I had triplets I could adequately produce enough milk for all three of them. When I was pregnant with Charlotte I knew that I would breastfeed but never had a specific time as to when I thought I might stop, well by the time Charlotte was about a month and a half old I had it in my mind that I would only nurse for 6 months; however, it seems that Ms. Charlotte has different plans for me! For the last month or so I've been gradually introducing more and more bottles of pumped milk to her, it's been all good, she takes bottles like a champ and I got her to the point where I was only nursing her 2-3 times a day. At this point I thought that I would attempt to completely stop nursing and just pump as I still wanted her to have the benefits of breast milk I just didn't want her on my boob anymore. Well, ya right! Charlotte went a day and a half with no boob and then all hell broke loose! There was no consoling her, I tried everything! So finally, I nursed her and instantly, she was fine. So long story short, I no longer have a goal of nursing for only 6 months, I'll slowly try to wean her, keep doing what I'm doing, and maybe one day when the time is right, I'll be able to reclaim my breasts back! (Just pray for me that's it's before she turns 1!)
Issue 3.....HAIR!
OMG! What happened to all my signature luscious, pretty, curls? Lately my hair has been nothing short of a hot mess! It's terrible, limp, lifeless and just not pretty! My hair just hasn't been itself :( I'm sure it doesn't help that half of it has fallen out, but come on! I'm finding myself straightening it more and more because of it's yuckiness. Products that I have always used just aren't working anymore and I can't help but wonder if any of this is the result of pregnancy. Either way, whatever the problem is, in attempts to fix it I finally broke down and ordered a starter set of Ouidad, a hair care line made especially for curly hair. It should be here sometime next week so here's hoping that this stuff works! I'm tired of looking like a crazy person with my out of control hair!
