Watery Wednesday 1

It's my first time to join this meme. I am very eager to get started and see the watery photos of other bloggers. I like to see "waters" because it's too refreshing. It also represents emotions, wisdom, the soul, and femininity. In spiritual aspect, it represents life, spirit , a rich symbol of baptisms and it represents many things. My entry for this week is a water fountain with two miniature statue of a Thai girl and boy in the background. I found this in front of a Hair Saloon near to my school. I hope this will qualify for Watery Wednesday and I hope you like it.

Checking Test Papers instead of Blogging (for this week)

I need to check this pile of test papers. This week is our final test and we need to submit our grades on Monday.

Because of this, I only have limited time to visit my friends' blogsite and YOUR blogsite for awhile. Maybe I couldn't post some comments for you or even leave a message in your cbox. As you know, I only blog during my vacant time here in school. Hopefully, we can have the TOT install the internet in our house by next week. Please pray.


Our English Summer Class will commence on the 2nd week of March so we need to prepare for our lesson plan and activities. Don't worry, by that time I can still find time blogging and visit you all!

Is it normal to lose hair after giving birth?

My son will be 4 months old on February 23. I noticed about 2 weeks ago when showering that my hair was coming out by the handfuls! I have long hair and have been known to shed anyway, but this was scary! Good thing that I remember a book I read before that it states "this is common for all new moms, though some lose more than others". Here's why it happens:

During pregnancy, changes in your hormone levels cause your hair to stay in a resting phase for longer, so you lose less hair on a daily basis. (You may have noticed that your hair seemed thicker than usual.)

After you've given birth and your hormones have settled down — usually at about 12 weeks after delivery — more hair shifts into a shedding phase. You may be alarmed to find hair coming out by the handful.

Normally, you lose about 100 to 125 hairs a day, but after delivery, you may be losing about 500 a day. This can be very disturbing, but try not to worry too much — you won't go bald!

There's little you can do about the shedding, other than to be patient. The shedding tends to be most noticeable when you're shampooing or brushing your hair, so you may find that shampooing less frequently or letting your hair dry naturally instead of brushing and blow-drying helps slow the loss.

On the other hand, it's going to fall out at some point, and you might prefer that it happen in private. Regular washing and brushing may help you avoid leaving a trail of shedding hair behind you all day. Try using a thickening shampoo if you feel your locks are getting too thin.

You may notice fine "baby" hair growing along your hairline at the top of your forehead once the shedding phase has ended. Having bangs can do a lot to camouflage this wispy new growth while it's growing out.

Within another six months or so, your hair should be back to its normal pre-pregnancy thickness, but you may find that the texture of your hair is never exactly the same. It may be wavier or straighter or more dry or oily than it was before pregnancy. This is probably due to the hormonal upheaval you've just been through.

If the hair loss doesn't seem to be slowing and you're still losing lots of hair six or so months after delivery, check in with a dermatologist or your healthcare provider. It may be a sign that you're low on iron, which is not entirely uncommon for new moms.

Mommy Moments-Love Letter

It's my first time to join this meme Mommy Moments and I'm so glad to be a part of it. This week I checked the theme and it's about Love Letter. I thought at first it's a Love Letter from my husband and that makes me unable to join this week because I left the love letters in the Philippines. Eventhough if I'll have the love letters in my hand, I'm hesitant to expose my hubby's love letter to others. So, I waited for Friday and decided to visit the host's blog to clarify things. This is my entry for this week:

This is my baby Hyzyd (Hezed). He's just 3 months old. This is my love letter for him.

My Everdearest baby,

The moment I laid my eyes on you, I can't help it but cry with joy. You're one of the greatest gifts God has entrusted upon us. I promise myself to be the best mom for you. You mean so much to me. You give more meaning to my life. Your smile erases my weariness and worries. Your cooing means a sweet music to my ear that soothe my soul. Your cry touches my heart that as I reach out for you, it's my prayer that I'll always be there for you. You're the prince of my life, the best son of your dad and the cuddly angel of your grandparents, titos and titas. I love you so much. It is my prayer that God will empower me to teach you His ways and the mom you'll be proud of. It is my daily prayer that God will give you the best in this life and you'll grow up into a fine young man leading a righteous and upright life. I'm proud to be your mommy. I love you so much. No words can explain how much I love you. Mwaaaaahhhh....

Loving you so much,

Mommy Jenny
