Comments for Pecked by Ducks http://peckedbyducks.com I once read "having kids is like being pecked to death by ducks". It doesn't really hurt, but it is constant and can be very annoying.

]]> Comment on #1 reason to never take a new book that everyone is raving about to the hairdresser’s by CHILLOUTTT. http://peckedbyducks.com/?p=108#comment-3888 CHILLOUTTT. Wed, 06 Jan 2010 22:13:14 +0000 http://peckedbyducks.com/?p=108#comment-3888 It's actually a very cute cut. It's the cut I'm getting. It is technically your fault for now paying attention to your stylist or asking her what she meant if you didn't understand. The frizz comes from the layering she did with the razor. All you need to fix that is a little smoothing product and razored layers are actually really cute. Make sure to only put a small amount of product on your tips and even less through the shaft and roots because too much will just make your hair appear dirty and greasy. Maybe try some side bangs as well. They will bring the overall look together. It’s actually a very cute cut. It’s the cut I’m getting.

With my first I lost 30lbs from 2-4 months then only regained around 10 by the end. Perfectly healthy 8lbs 2oz baby who came a bit late. My second I lost 15 lbs and then gained them back by the end. Again perfectly healthy 8lbs baby though he decided to come a bit early (37 weeks; don't go from semi-bed rest to walking around for 9 hours on your feet. The bed rest was for SPD (pelvis pain) it has no effect on the baby or even mom, its just painful and sucks. I have an awesome midwife though who just says if you can't eat much try to make what you eat as healthy as you can; but if all you can manage is empty calories (like white pasta, chips, etc) its still better than not eating at all. Never bothered with my weight, only cares how mom feels and looks.

I so look forward to reading them. Max is such a cutie patootie. I miss the boys so much. And I so remember that feeling of trying hard to keep my voice sweet when I was beginning to feel really irritated, then some sweetness like "I love you Mommy" would come out of your mouths and I was so grateful that I hadn't gotten mad!! I love you Karen. You are such a good Mommy!! I was so happy to find another post. I so look forward to reading them. Max is such a cutie patootie. I miss the boys so much.

I think an adjustable ring is when you chain 4 (or something) and then you start stitching in the very first chain you made. If you don't stitch too tightly the first chain you made will actually stretch to fit all your stitches and the other three chains are counted as a double crochet. I think......
