dearest hair journal,

  well thank god ryans party was a success. everyone we invited came. it was fun for kids. we ordered 2 jump n funs.  gave away party bags with toys and candy, the kids played musical chairs and won a prize, and for each  family we gave baby blue candles with a baby blue candle holder glass wrapped with a baby blue bow that said happy 2nd birthday ryan! thank god it was wonderful. i played dj with my party songs and cd player. everyone loved the cake. what a blessing from God.

morning sickness- i still feel nausous even now.  i tried the thing that sakina said. the spearment oil thingy. it worked a little surprisingly!


HAIR- soft curls. loves the mist i made of boiled water cooled then added lavender oil, rosemary oil and another oil which i forgot. put it in my spray bottle and voila. a concoction my hair loves. my scalp loves it.  i took a prenatal vitamin and a lysine. i drank a few cups of green tea today. i hope that is safe for my pregnancy. if anyone knows about green tea and effect on pregnancy i would love to know i dont want to harm my baby.  it says natural but is natural always safe?

hey khrome ,

thanks for the helpful info. i will do more research on the green tea during pregnancy.

Due to the high risk of my pregnancies, I was not allowed any caffeine.  I was told (keep in mind, this back in the dark ages) that the caffeine would increase the baby's heart rate to an unhealthy level, plus it can raise the mother's blood pressure, which could cause other complications.

On the other hand, I was encouraged to have one small glass of wine each evening to help me relax and sleep better!     Seems the "rules" change from year to year!

100 people? Woa!    But it sounds like it was a lot of fun, and it would be neat if you and the women with long hair became real life hair buddies. 

Don't know about pregnancy tips, but if you don't get very many responses in your journal, you can post something in the LL Lounge. I know Momof6 and ChiliPepper have kids, but I haven't seen them around recently. 

edit: Whoops, I meant the Let Your Hair Down board, not the LL Lounge. Sorry about that.

here are my 2 cents since i just got done w my pregnancy one is to buy the book What to expect when your expecting it was an excellent refrence for those midnight worries. ( my midwife gave me a copy of the book) and talk to your dr or midwife about any and everything that comes to your mind.  I had a lot of odd problems during mine (ie PUPPS, gestional diabetes, and my hypothyroidism was a pain too)  but you will have a wonderful time after the morning sickness subsides.

dear journal,

  hair- ok. getting healthier.  doing herbal sprays, and head and shoulders shampoo.  taking a prenatal and lysine vitamin nightly.  i love my herbal sprays.  i usually keep it in a nice clean shiny bun daily because im sooooooooooo sick. yikes when will this pass over hopefully.  im going to a friends house for dinner today.  she has long pretty hair. her sisters also have nice hair.    i guess  i will just keep my hair in a bun for a night out. i will dress it up with a flower on the side. not sure what im gonna wear yet but im gonna keep it simple. classic black blazer, jeans , black belt and salmon color pointy shoes, and salmon color tank. i also have a salmon color flower. hopefully it will be a nice time.  i like wearing my hair in a bun, it reminds me of french models . ooh la la. thankgod everything in my life is going ok knock on wood thankgod, except that im soooooooo sick and i feel like im going to die when i puke. its gross i hate it. the body needs to get rid of toxins i guess.
