Like Marvin said, "What's going on"

I have not posted on here forever. I have not posted a picture since always. Well here is a follow up ( a very brief one). My oldest daughter is graduating from high school, so I am busy with that. I am attending college, yep busy with that too. Still trying to get pregnant and I will be starting Lupron soon. Yippee! I get to be poked with a needle! My hair is growing and shrinking. My hair feels so dry, but I had a lot of slippage during my re-ti, so I do not want to put a lot of stuff in it. I am not a braid and bander...nope... no sir. I just would rather wash my hair without all the extra. Right now I am branding my hair up so that I can have a braid out for tomorrow and then off to bed. I am so surprised that I am not fully locked yet. My hair is so tightly coiled, I thought I would be locked quickly. Nope we are almost at 7 months and my ends are not sealed. Oh and to do a follow up on all the things that I said I would do as far as skin. Well I am not consistent enough to give a proper review. So, sorry. Wow this post is a real bummer. Right?

Check one, Check two, check, check, check

I am just checking in and giving an update. My next post will include some picture, I promise. I just need to find the time to have someone take some pictures of me. I hate the pictures of the reflection in the bathroom mirror look. I am trying a few youtube inspired short loc styles and I am getting a ton of compliments on my styling. I have done twist and braid outs before, but felt that pipe cleaner curls were best left on longer hair. Well I did pipe cleaner curls last weekend and received a lot of compliments on my locs. The compliments were starting to make me a little self-conscious after awhile. On a personal level, my mother is doing better after her health scare. I thought that I was going to lose her and I am so grateful that I didn't. I had a positive pregnancy test and felt so happy, thankful and blessed. Then I started bleeding. I am still trying to get over the fact that I am not pregnant and I am wondering if it will ever happen again for me. I am thankful for the family I have and I will be trying again. Wish me luck.

The last dragon

I got my reti on Wednesday and I must say that my hair is growing like crazy. You would not be able to tell due to all of my shrinkage. Today I was wearing my contacts for a change and happened to catch a glimpse of a loc that is usually hid by my eyeglass stem. Well to my surprise I had a two headed dragon! I had asked my loctician if she needed me to remove my glasses while she did my reti and she said no. Obviously she ended up combining a loc. How do I feel about this? Well the loc in question was to small for my taste anyway, but I think that there should be some kind of dialogue if she did this on purpose. On a different note, I have not used my bio oil as much as I was previously. I did feel the length of my Cesarean scar and found part of it strangely smooth. I this stuff work??!!! I am re-motivated and I will keep everyone informed of my progress.

2 month update

Here I am going on almost 7 weeks with my sisterlocks. I will be getting my re-ti next week. My hair is growing like crazy. I have shrinkage and a lot of it. My main complaint is that I do not have the movement that I wish, but maybe that will happen as my hair grows. I am not sure. I will ask my loctician if there is a way to get more movement...I am not sure exactly how to express what I am wanting here. My hair is just sitting on my head, but I really want is to whip my hair back and forth. Lol.

interlock pictures

These last two pictures are from my three year old's birthday party, excuse the odd makeup choice. I wanted to show a picture of my interlocks at 6 weeks old. I removed them at the 2 month mark and got sisterlocks.They are small and they don't look to bad either, but my heart was set on sisterlocks.
