The Great Hair Adventure

Taken in July, the view under my hat and scarf. I can't believe that I'm actually posting this photo. I've definitely lost all sense of modesty!




Georgia and me in late June.





During my second round of chemo - trying to hide my pregnancy bump until we were ready to share our news. I as about 19 weeks pregnant.








First major hair loss on June 20 during a shower. Glad I had my hair cut short weeks before (minus 10 inches). Even though I've lost a ton of hair, I just don't want to shave it off. I may be kidding myself, but I think a little scraggly hair peaking out from under a hat or scarf makes me look less sick than a bald head. Am already thinking about coming back as a brunette - like in my youth. Everyone will have to wait and see!

No More Bad Hair Days

It's finally happening. The hair is falling out in droves. We were trying to have some fun with the whole thing - competitions every morning to see whose pillow had the most hair on it. When Jana started winning, the novelty began to wear off. When she tried to wash her hair and found a dead wombat in the shower, well, game over.

We are now on to hats and scarves. Jana has always been gorgeous, but who knew she'd look so good as a pirate?

Hair issues aside, Jana is doing great. She's feeling well and still has a lot of energy. It's a constant battle for me to get her to slow down and rest - but I'll take that over bed-ridden any day.

Thanks for all of the good thoughts and prayers - keep 'em coming.
