NICE photo!!! your hair is really growing long fast huh?! 4 more weeks and you get to find out the sex right?

[TheWife]

We aren't going to find out the sex. If we were it would have been at our u/s 2 weeks ago, we only get one. It was hard to not find out but it will be worth it in the end! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Corbin is digging my hair growing fast--it was really long right before I met him, but its always been short since. I am finally resisting all my urges to cut it, so he is liking that.

[Kristie]

easiest way to resist.. stick it in a ponytail so it's out of the way! plus, that way, it'd be hard for baby to try and grab at it too!! :-D

[TheWife]

Yup that's what I do. But when I see girls with short hair it reminds me of how cute I look (ok well that sounded arrogant) with short hair. Like Ashley Judd in "Someone Like You" on tv last night. I have had my hair like her a lot and it looks really cute. But it's time to be grown up and more sophisticated, less cute. But it still makes me think about cutting it when I see cute cuts. But then I remember how mad I get when I can't put it in a ponytail. So my will power is getting stronger cause 2 years ago I'd cut it every time I saw a cute cut. Well that was a lot of rambling lol.

Michelle, you should think about growing out your hair and donating it to a kids charity. I did so last winter and am planning on making another donation sometime next year. Its a good excuse to have long hair and an easy way to help someone else.

[TheWife]

My sister has done that several times, but I don't want it THAT long [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] It would have to be pretty long in order to give them their minimum but still leave me with a good length. I think the longest I could ever have mine would be the middle of my back. My sister grows hers all the way down to her bum and then donates it. Sad that any one even needs it, but I am so glad there are people like you and her to help!

[TheWife]

My sister said it's 9 inches so you'd have to have quit a lot if you wanted anything left after they take that. I am just not into the really long look for me.

I didnt grow my hair all of the way down my back, donated 11" and my hair length was a little below my shoulders after the chop chop (I have pictures, but dont know how to post 'em). I think the donation requirements are between 10" and 12". There are several different organizations, so there might be lower minimums with another. I was split between Locks of Love and Wigs for Kids. Check out their websites for all the important info.
