Long, luxurious locks -- it's what I try to have. I try. But it's not always easy. Sometimes the last thing I have time to care for is my hair. On days I don't have to be out in public, I twist it up with a clip and that's that.
But there are easy ways to get and keep your hair as healthy as possible -- and they don't cost a lot or take a lot of time.

When one of my friends was deciding on names, she knew if the baby was a girl she would have a nature-inspired name, but if it was a boy he would be named after a musician.
She ended up having a girl and named her Summer. But Cash, after Johnny Cash, was the front-runner if she had a boy.
I wanted to "steal" the name for my boy, but my husband had other ideas.

November is Prematurity Awareness Month and I just learned of a test that can predict a woman's risk for preterm birth -- it's called fetal fibronectin testing (fFN Test) and it's similar to getting a Pap test.
I've never been more aware of preterm birth than I am right now -- I'm in the high risk category since I'm having twins. But I'm just about 34 weeks pregnant now, so I'm in a good place. But what about others with risk factors? Who is at risk?

My first trimester I was amazed at my growing belly. It's funny...looking back at it now it was so small! I had terrible morning sickness all day, but was still was thrilled to be carrying twins.
Second trimester had some ups and downs, but there was a point where I felt so great, so healthy, and pretty, sporting a cute bump.
Now I'm in my third trimester and hello heartburn, edema, carpal tunnel, and tons of crankiness. I'm almost ready to scream, Get these babies out of me!!

These Gap ads are everywhere, you know the commercial where they are singing and dancing around and everyone looks all festive yet still casual? Then there's the magazine ad where I think the models are positioned in the shape of a snowflake or something?
Sigh. This ruffle plaid shirt.
Sigh. The marketing apparently works because I really really want one.
Deli Meats During Pregnancy: Is It Safe?
November 19, 2009 at 12:00 PM by Cafe MicheleZ - Comments (10)
After getting through most of my first trimester eating cold cuts for lunch almost daily, I learned I'm wasn't supposed to eat deli meats during pregnancy...unless they are heated up.
So that next time I ordered my turkey and cheddar on whole wheat, I instead asked for grilled turkey and cheddar so the heat would kill off any listeriosis.
