What a hairy situation

I gotta start this post off with saying how crazy grateful I am for all that I have.

I have three amazing, healthy, beautiful children and a best friend who I am proud to call my husband.

Our life is good and blessed beyond words.

With all that being said, I just need to blog something out.

My darling little lady love is losing her hair.

A couple of months ago Nick said "Madi, I think Lola is thinning on top"

"what?! no she's not it's always been a little thinner up top don't be mean it's still growing."

Not long after I realized that it really was thinning on top. 

A lot.

I could gently comb my fingers through her hair and pull out clumps.

After talking to my sisters I decided I better call the Dr. just to double check that everything was okay.

He asked if she pulled at it at all - no 

What does the scalp look like - normal

Is there hair growing in it's place - yes

She's totally fine he said.

Apparently it's common and that it will grow back.

Whew.

 

At least she is fine and that it's nothing serious.

But it is heartbreaking.

She was blessed with the most gorgeous curls that are almost all gone.

It's like her hair is reverting back to when she was 1 1/2 and she had fuzz with a couple of curls.

We trimmed her hair to make it less noticeable - it looked great for a couple of weeks but we might need to do it again.

I'm so glad she is too little to notice.

I'm so sad that we have to start over with her hair at 2 1/2 years old.

I am beyond grateful that it will grow back and that my love is healthy and strong.

Now that I have blogged it out I just need to quit crying about it, stop feeling sorry for her when I look at her hair and enjoy this gorgeous girl who is so amazing and beautiful and mine.
