That something is different.  Probably because I have let myself go these last couple of weeks that have been delightfully filled with nothing but m/s and fatigue.  I haven't had my eyebrows done in over a month, my nails are chipped and dirty, my hair is dull and ill- maintained.  My mom made a comment about it yesterday, so today, I vow to get up and pick up my tweezers, a nail file, and some deep conditioner and make myself at least look presentable.Yes

    I haven't worn makeup for a few weeks or done my dry hay hair either. My eyebrows look like a forest. I should probably do something too.

    I know! When my girlfriend was PG last year I couldn't believe how she was letting herself go! She wore her DHs big sweater and his jacket all winter, she is usually so together! I though, wow when I am PG I am going to make an effort and look so cute. Meanwhile, what have I been wearing for the last month? DHs huge beige sweater and some baggy jeans I found. :(

    Thank God I'm not alone!  I have not worn make-up in weeks or even put my contacts in.  I need a hedge trimmer for my eyebrows and on Friday I shaved my legs/pits for the first time in a while because I was going to the OB.  My OB wants me to wait until 2nd tri to die my hair so I have roots and I don't even have energy to blow it out in the morning so it looks like a curly rats nest.  I've really let myself go too!

    Haha!  That was me exactly!  "I'm not going to let myself go."  Yet, here I am in sweats that I actually had to take the drawstring out for them to even fit and DH's big, dirty sweatshirt.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one.  My cousin's girlfriend was pregnant last year and she never had a hair out of place or a day without make-up.  I didn't want to think I was the only one not like her.

    I'm not so hot myself. ?My hair is disgusting. ?Normally it is curly, but now it is just wavy/frizzy and there isn't a &$%( thing I can do about it.

    I shaved my legs yesterday for the first time in a month so I could get a pedicure and I realized when I got there that I forgot one big patch of my leg.

    I have been doing the bare minimum makeup for work which is not too attractive. ?Overall I'm not a hot mama. ?I'll tell you that much. I don't know how people have the time or energy to be different. ?I have really let myself go.

    Also I had a hamburger and french fries from McDonald's yesterday for the first time in years.?

    I'm only shaving my legs for my appointments - at least until it gets warm.

    I update my toenail polish once a month - I don't care how crappy it looks.

    And my eyebrows? ?Let's not go there! ?I've been too worried about the "other" facial hairs.

    *sigh*

    I've been doing make-up, only because my face looks like crap.?

    I just can't wait to get my hair done. My hair grows inches overnight so now I have about 3 inches of regrowth.

    And ditto on the eyebrow thing - for some reason I cant get myself to pluck my eyebrows in the morning. Maybe it is because I feel like puking instead.

    So glad to hear I'm not the only one. I really need to go get a trim and take care of my eyebrows, not to mention clean my apartment....

    The only upside is that my nails are growing very nicely and I had almost finished getting laser hair removal on my legs (had to stop because of getting pg though) so I rarely have to shave my legs.
