When we first started discussing children in our marriage--me pleading, Jonathan prevaricating about the practicalities--Jonathan agreed to becoming pregnant on one condition, that I would promise not to cut my hair short after having a baby, as he had seen our other friends do.
I stuck by that promise with Charlie. But I think I have fudged a little with Wendy. There really is something appealing about a fresh new haircut when you are spending your days and nights nursing in a fog of spit-up and two-year old power struggles. It says “there may not be much else I can control in life, but if I want, my hair at least can be the way I want it!” (Or maybe It is just a subconscious attempt to draw everyone’s eyes UP from the postpartum belly!)
So, without further ado, I present what I have done in my post-partum madness….
(Sorry, the pictures are grainy because I took them in the mirror and my post-partum madness has not carried me far enough to wash the mirror every time Charlie splashes it with water.)
I think I like it!

Very becoming hair style! You look terrific!
I like it! (I think the thing men and even I didn't understand about post partum hair is that the reason women cut their hair short is that it gets super weird and falls out and the only solution to those half cut layers with half now missing is to cut it all off. Alas, as we are between children right now, I'm growing my hair out so I can enjoy it while it's there.)
