On a side note, I can't believe in my last post I forgot to mention the head shaving adventure! On Dec 30th I finally decided I'd had enough of my hair falling out in clumps, so I had my husband shave my head. We took a family selfie before, and a few other pictures, and then got to work. To my complete surprise, after he was done shaving my head, Chad (who had his very long hair pulled back into a ponytail) said "ok, now braid my hair and then cut off the ponytail and shave my head". I think I asked him about five times if he was sure before I did it, lol. I think he's pretty much been growing it out since we got married (6 years ago), so the experience was probably more traumatizing for him than it was for me. I'm happy he did it though, I was super bummed that I had to cut mine again (it was just getting long enough again so I could tuck it behind my ears), and it was nice to have him support me in that way. Now that my hair is really falling out at a good pace, it's nice to only have to clean up little short hairs as opposed to clumps of longer ones. I've finally started wearing a bandana over my head when I go out, and it's funny because Dagen gives me the strangest look when I have one on. Apparently he's gotten used to mommy with no hair, lol.
One more thing... I'd just like to take a minute to thank everyone for their kind words, well wishes, positive thoughts and prayers. And for those of you have taken a minute out of your day to send me a message, or a card, or a gift... thank you so much for taking the time to think of my family and I and do something nice. We really appreciate everything!!
This is our "after" family selfie, lol :)
