Are you kidding me???
Each day I get an email with pregnancy information. About 90% of the time they are great emails and I learn a ton from them. I had to share today’s email. I mean seriously! Do you really think that making my hair bigger is going to help take away from the puffiness of my face? Who’s actually looking at my face when I have this nice big round belly, sausage fingers, or fankels to look at? Let’s get real! I thought it was funny and had to share the amazing lengths pregnant women will go to in efforts to look their best! Enjoy.
“Has pregnancy weight found its way to your face? Of course it has. A great way to achieve that elusive illusion of slimness is to start with your hair. Up-dos create a slimming effect by giving you instant height, so pull your hair into a high ponytail or simply twist your locks into a high knot and fasten with a barrette. Another way to add height to your look — while subtracting width from your face: Use a volumizing gel at the roots of your hair and then blowdry, lifting the roots with a brush as you go. Avoid middle parts, which round your face even more, opt for a side part instead — and steer clear of blunt bangs (have them cut into wispy lengths or angled for a slimmer look).”
Ok, so next time you see a large pregnant lady make sure to comment on how her hair has such a slimming effect on her face! Pul-eeze!!!!

I am ALWAYS looking at your hair – ha! BTW in the last 3 months of my pregnancy with Mason, I would have to immitated the great days of the 80’s spray bangs and the teasing to look even an once thinner so good luck. Fankels and all – you are beautiful, just hang in there.

If you know anyone that didn’t have Fankels I hope I never meet her. Just enjoy every day, soon it will be over. This is really a wonderful time of your life. Your hair is just perfect the way it is.

Im pretty sure there was a typo in that aritcle, the frou frou hair will NOT make someone look thinner – it will just have the person so horrified at what must have happened to a person to end up with 80’s hair that they fail to notice the beauty of the big round belly and the glow of the face!
You look great and you look PREGNANT – you dont look fat at all!:)
I cannot wait to see pics and announcements of your little blessing!
