An overdue update

It's been a while once again. Work and life have been running my life but for the first time in a while I have a free morning. Things are going fairly well and I'm currently 16 weeks pregnant (we think with a boy). I'm very excited and terrified and exhausted although I am incredibly lucky not to have suffered from morning sickness to date.

As for trich, well, that's another story. My eyebrows remain all but non-existent and my eyelashes are recovering from some damage I did a few weeks ago (the bottom remain fine but the top are spotty and thin). I look at my friends with their newborn photos on FB and pray that I can pull it together by the time the baby comes as those pictures will be just as important, if not more, than my wedding pictures last year. It's hard to be optimistic knowing my history.

For a few weeks I had tried knitting at night and to be honest that did seem to be helping. It didnt stop the pulling all together but it did seem to get a little better. I know that most of my pulling happens at night so I'm trying to change some habits and stop touching my face (although I barely realize I'm doing it before its too late). I'm still hoping for that magic cure which isnt coming and the summer is, as always, tough since it feels so much harder to hide my drawn on eyebrows. I did find a good waterproof eyebrow liner from sephora that helps with swimming and sweating. Other than that, life is status quo and just trying to adjust to the idea that our lives will be so different in January but so so grateful that all has gone well!
