That hair post made me realize ...

how much I've let myself go! haha. I get my hair cut maybe every 4-6 months. I haven't waxed my brows in at least two months and honestly my legs haven't been shaved in QUITE some time. I always said I would never let myself go because I always enjoyed getting dressed up, but wow..I really have!

    Life is full of much more important things than our appearances.  Just think how much fun you have w/ LO and they don't care if your legs are shaved or not!!

    I rarely get my hair cut, just a trim every few months.  I've never ever had my eyebrows waxed, plucking works well enough for me.

    But I do shave my legs regularly, so maybe you should get on that :)

    I'm only a lurker (not yet pregnant, but plan to be a SAHM)....but I just thought I would chime in to make you feel better.  I recently realized I haven't had my hair cut in over 9 months!  Granted, I had it cut short and then got engaged, so I've been growing it out on purpose, but I should have at least had it trimmed by now!  Embarrassed

    While I agree with the pp about things life being more important than appearance - if letting oneself "go" or not pampering/caring for oneself impacts how a person feels - emotionally and mentality about life and themselves - then there is nothing in life more important than her appearance. Mama can't take care of others well if she doesn't love and care for herself - that's my motto. 

    Obviously, if you don't care and feel no impact from 'letting yourself go' then - that works for you too!

    The first three months after Grant came into our lives I stopped pampering myself - I was tired and busy. I realized that I felt so exhausted emotionally/mentally/physically because I wasn't caring for myself.

    We all have to find our balance.

    I just really came to this realization (finally) the other day....I'm feeling so much better about things already!

    Awww... I doubt it's that bad!   ;)

    It's unfortunate that children tend to push us to the backburner and we need those reminders from time to time to do things for ourselves!
