Four months out

Something nobody tells you about after the baby arrives...

You start shedding the massive quantities of beautiful, full, lustrous hair you built up during your pregnancy. I guess Mother Nature figured that if your mate isn't going to run away and abandon you before the four month mark, he's probably going to be a good provider and stick around to help feed the new little milk-guzzler. So what's a little bit of hair loss? If sleep deprivation and postpartum hormonal swings didn't scare him off, nothing will...

...except for what I've swept off the bathroom floor. And the kitchen floor...and the entryway...

In other news, Michael is once again a free man. Madyson (yes, with a 'y') has apparently run off with CJ. He was very matter of fact about it-- "Madyson isn't married to me anymore. She married to CJ. Where's my umbrella?"

Parapluie is more important. And why not? I'm sure Madyson would do a terrible job keeping Michael dry in the rain.

Alex is possibly gaining teeth, which means that his capacity for drool has increased 400% in the past couple of weeks. Yet another bodily fluid I get to wipe up-- yay. With all the toxic substances (spitup/snot/pee/poop) that mothers have to deal with, I'm amazed that we couldn't just round up a bunch of moms with wipies to clean up after Chernobyl.

Okaaaaay, maybe it's not that bad.

But we've already gone through hair loss...
