So I still dig the cut, despite the ends looking wonky in the back. I’ll be sure to pull and tug them into more even form when I wear wash n gos outside. But I think I’ll be wearing my hair up or straight this winter anyway so it all works out.
I love the cut from the front though, it has more shape than my wash n goes before, and a lil more movement and energy if that makes sense.
So I tried a wash n go today.
I used a product I’ve never used before from Carol’s Daughter called Hair Milk.
In these photos my hair is still wet, so I’ll take some later once it dries too.
I love it from the front and side, but the ends in the back, notsomuch. I’ll see how it is once it’s fully dry.
There’s SO much less hair, it was so easy to wash and detangle and it’s drying a lot faster too.
Layers make a BIG difference.
Okay, so you remember how I told you I ordered that baby book
Well, now I have seven more.

4. Getting Ready for Baby: The Ultimate Organizer for the Mom-to-Be
5. A Child Is Born
6. Water Birth: The Concise Guide to Using Water During Pregnancy, Birth, and Infancy

I’m starting a collection I guess. Ha!
Hence, why I love Freecycle.
If you don’t know what freecycle is, it’s a program/website (a yahoo group in NYC’s case) that allows you to post up ads of things you’re giving away that other people might want. I give away my bags of clothes and books that way. You can also post ads of things you want….which is what my shameless babycraving ass did for the first time.
I posted that I was looking for pregnancy books and quickly got the best response from an angel in the East Village “I’ve got a bag of them, you can come take ‘em now”
I picked up a lovely sack of books from a woman who answered the door with her 3 month old latched on nursing and my uterus began to spasm! I. Kid. You. Not. I wanted to run home and attack John immediately and some conception goin’ on…. but I’m going to just keep my mouth shut, read my baby books and blogs and forums, and do my bid.
My sentence.
My time, until our (grudgingly) agreed upon date to start trying to conceive.
T minus 14 months and 3 days. But who’s counting?
I AM!!! For the love of God! (or whoever you prefer)
Anywaaayy…
I read the intros and skimmed each of the books so far and I love em! Especially the baby bargains book (cuz i love to pinch a penny), what to expect when you’re expecting (cuz it’s Q&A style and was recommended by a bloggie friend) and the girlfriend’s guide to pregnancy (cut it was recommended here and very cute so far).
There is so much to consider when getting pregnant and having children it’s just amazing.
Sidebar: I just got a flash of that movie Knocked Up when Seth Rogan is arguing with Katherine Heigl saying “Oh no I didn’t read the baby books, OH NO!!! How did anyone ever have a baby, before baby books were invented?!”
I know he was dripping in sarcasm, but umm…..I really don’t know how they did it because there is just SO FREAKING MUCH INFORMATION to take in and I know your doctor does not give you all of this info during your appointments.
I am glad I started reading these books now. I have so much to learn and research! I’ve got tons of time to get my fill before we start trying. I’ll be sure to review the books here just in case you gals are interested in pickin’ some up.
Have you read any of the books listed? How’d you like em? Are you freecyclers too?
