So, I'm thinking of dying my hair purple. But I can't decide if I want to do just the tips or the whole thing. I wear my hair straight a lot more than i curl it, and I am just not sure which would look better straight. And I'm kind of in a "go big or go home" mood 😂 I probably won't do this until after Christmas and whatnot, but I have always wanted to and considering I won't be working until next year, this may be my last chance. (Length is similar to the silver/purple).
Ugh, interview today didn't go great and I didn't get selected to go on to the second round interviews.
But this interview was nuts and I was completely unprepared for it. It was a panel of four people throwing rapid fire questions at me. They were scribbling everything down and apparently it was graded/scored?! I've never had an interview like that before, so I guess it was good life experience. I think I was really nervous and just wasn't thinking well. I felt kind of blind-sided by the panel.
Soooo I guess I'm sticking with my original plan of staying on UI until it runs almost out and switching to SDI in April (4 weeks before due date).
@eatinwatermelonseeds Thanks, yeah it was really stressful. None of the panelists were giving any feedback either. They were just reading questions to me and scribbling the whole time. It was pretty awful!
@eatinwatermelonseeds I say do the whole thing! It’s just hair, but that color is gorgeous! @poshspice that interview sounds intense! Makes you wonder what the work environment was like!
@eatinwatermelonseeds I say go for it! My annoying super-pregnant coworker has subtly purple hair right now, and it looks good on her, so I bet it will look even better on you!
I had darker purple hair years ago, and it was a lot of fun.
@eatinwatermelonseeds do it! I have dark hair, so have to bleach out sections and then do an all over color. Here's a mix of what I've done over the past year or so. I haven't done new color since I've gotten pregnant, but have an appointment just before Christmas. Not sure what I'll do
DH and my mom felt baby kick (or punch) last night for the first time! Baby was super upset or excited about something because they were pretty substantial kicks/punches! It was so exciting to be able to share that moment with them. It’s nice to have something positive come out of this hospital stay.
No real update on my condition. The pain continues despite medication and a heating pad. They gave me another dose of antibiotics at 2:30 am and gave me another flomax to dialate the ureter, although I’m not convinced it’s a kidney stone(s). Seeing that it’s the weekend, I’m not expecting to see the doctor(s) much today.
Thanks for the the kind words everybody! I mean, when I really think about it, I’m not ready to go back to working full time or having a short mat leave. So many things scared me about the possibility of going back to work, this is probably for the best.
@eatinwatermelonseeds I think you should go for the color! I’ve been tempted to do rose gold tips/balayage, but I have dark hair so I’d have to go to a salon. The cost of maintaining kind of intimidates me.
@mrskoz428 sorry there’s not much of an update! I hope they’re able to make some kind of progress through the weekend!
Thank you, everyone! I'm still torn on which one lol but I love the color so much, I will definitely do it. I have never had my hair an "unnatural" color before. I'll definitely be going to a salon, too, though. There is no way I can do this myself lol.
@mrskoz428 that's so exciting about your family feeling baby. I'm sorry you're still feeling crappy. I really hope they figure something out.
Our power is back on and DS is losing his mind over it 😂 he went and turned the light on and was like "the power is back!!! MOM!! THE POWER IS BACK!!" And a few minutes later I turned on the TV and he goes "THE TV WORKS AGAIN, TOO?!?!?" 😂😂
My husband just gave me a lecture on taking care of myself. I want to be annoyed, but it made me think, and I'm really not. I haven't had much of an appetite, so I don't eat a lot, and when I do it's not always very nutritional. But I'm also slacking on my prenatals, which he totally called me out on and water intake. I feel like SHIT and until this conversation it didn't really dawn on me why, aside from being pregnant. I really need to be better, but we're at the old house cleaning today and I feel awful. I told him I'm going to do what I can and then go home and take a nap.
Took my kid out shopping and now he's going into time out straight when we get home, he's not getting the candy I bought him and he's not watching any tv for the rest of the night. I AM DONE.
Okay. Gave him the opportunity to behave on the drive home (aka stop crying) and now he's earned back everything I took away in my (probably excessive) frustration. I'm so tired.
But I felt I had to update because we got home and he said something funny. I was disarming our alarm and he was like "what are you doing?" "Disarming the alarm on the house or else it goes beepbeepbeepbeep" "AND THEN IT EXPLODES?!?" 😂 Not.... Quite...
@eatinwatermelonseeds seriously, I want to meet your kid! He sounds like my kinda kid! ❤️❤️
I woke up in severe pain at about 2:00 am. They gave me Tylenol and started up my IV antibiotic again. Still no answers. Still in the hospital. I’m staying in the OB ward so I have been seeing and hearing tons of newborns as this is where mommas go after they’ve given birth. My body keeps reacting to the cries! Anytime a baby cries, my boobs start hurting and leaking. Glad to know my body knows how to respond! 😂
@mrskoz428 he's seriously hilarious 😂 although I would've gladly given him to you last night, he was driving me insane.
And omg lol. It's so much worse when you're breast feeding, too. I remember every time, no matter where I was, if a little kid in the area so much as talked, my breasts would let down. "Oh, let me feed them." 😂
Oh, and a girl in my last pregnancy group had an aunt who was a veterinarian, and she said when she was breast feeding, kittens meowing made her let down 😂
@eatinwatermelonseeds I love the purple! The purple with the sliver looks awesome curled, I wonder how it would look straight though. @poshspice @knarlytaurus those hair colors/cuts are awesome! @mrskoz428 omg, I'm so sorry that you are going through all this. How are you feeling today? Any new updates?
@MelissaMay82 Woke up at 2:00 am in severe pain. Low dose CT is scheduled for 1:30 pm today. Waiting to be consulted by urology and OB yet this morning to talk about the risks and benefits of the CT and what the plan will be from there. I’m still not convinced that this issue is a kidney stone, although every medical professional seems to think it is. This CT will prove one way or the other and decide the plan of attack on how to address the pain. Honestly, I’m just fucking sick of being in the hospital. I miss my dogs, I miss my pregnancy pillow, and I miss my Netflix and Hulu! 😂
@mrskoz428 how did your dose of antibiotics go? Did they pre-dose you with Benadryl? Did you break out in a rash again? I hope the CT will give some answers.
@MelissaMay82 antibiotic has been just fine, they just push it over 4 hours, which it’s normally pushed in 1.5 hours. Didn’t need to pre-med with Benadryl after the first dose.
@mrskoz428 Hope things get resolved soon. Hopefully they know what they are doing and will figure it out. Are you still having fever? Signs of infection? I had a very bad kidney infection years ago that kept me hospitalised for 8 days. My body created cysts around the bacteria but it also meant antibiotics couldn’t reach bacteria. Stronger drugs did the trick. Really hope things get sorted soon. I can’t inagine with the pregnancy how stressful and painful it could be
@dfirstimer never had a fever. No kidney infection, ever. UTI but no kidney infection. The pain has an unknown cause for now. I had kidney infections the first two years if my life due to an anatomical abnormality, so I know how serious they are. That’s why I went in when the kidney pain didn’t go away.
@poshspice I actually just got back from the CT. They did a low dose and were able to tell me exactly what I was exposed to. I was only exposed to 3.6 mGys of radiation which is 1/3 of the radiation I was expecting, so I don’t think there is a huge risk to baby at this point. Makes me feel so much better as I was a hormonal mess worried about the baby.
@mrskoz428 hope now with the ct scan done, they can figure out the reason for the pain. Must be scary to still have an unknown root cause. Keep us posted
They have given up in searching for an answer for the pain. They are just going to send me home on an Advil/Tylenol regimen alternating every 3 hours. Follow up with the midwives at every appointment and urology in 3-4 weeks.
@eatinwatermelonseeds so excited to go home to my dogs and my pregnancy pillow! ❤️ I am still so frustrated about not having an answer but I can’t put more effort into than the medical team is putting in. DH and I both took off tomorrow so we can just watch my pain and see if I can attempt to resume a normal life on this plan.

@poshspice That sounds like a nightmare interview scenario. I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you.
@poshspice that interview sounds intense! Makes you wonder what the work environment was like!
@poshspice that's so disappointing, I'm sorry 😔
I had darker purple hair years ago, and it was a lot of fun.
@eatinwatermelonseeds go for it. Purple hair will look gorgeous on you wearing it straight or curly
@knarlytaurus awesome pictures! Love the use of color with your haircut.
