Free as my hair

Cute little mohawk.  I don't think he was too thrilled about it, but I thought it was cute!

I think Liam is losing a little bit of hair (especially on the left side of his head), but he is not the only one.

My hair is falling out like crazy!
I read that this is very common postpartum, but it just started for me, about a month ago.  At first, I thought I was in the clear, but I was wrong.  It comes out the most in the shower, but I find when I pull my hair back or run my fingers through it, I have plenty of strands left in my hand.

The worst part is that I find strands entangled between Liam's fingers or on his clothes.  When it's in his hand it is so hard to get out because he locks his fingers into a fist.  This results in me, trying to pry his little fist open and grab a thin strand of hair before he swings his arm around again.  Either I'm just slow or this is a pretty difficult task.

I try to keep my hair pulled back (maybe that is the wrong thing to do to keep it from falling out?) so that when I burp him or put him on my shoulder, it isn't in his face.  I am starting to fear that he may swallow it.  I freak if I see it near his mouth!

My hair used to be so thick.  But, the other day I found myself asking my husband if he could see any bald spots.  It's pretty funny when I think of that now.

Apparently this hair loss thing will peak at about 3 months or so postpartum and then go away shortly after.  I'm hoping the end is near.

If you haven't heard this song by Lady Gaga, you should.  It's pretty good.
