Why I Love My Hair Stylest

My last hair appointment was February 9th. Needless to say, I was DUE a hair cut. Now, don't get me wrong, she does a great job cutting hair, but that's not why I love her. I love her because she is close to my age, has an 18 month old and knows EXACTLY what I've been through as a new mother. It was so good to talk with someone who went through similar things. Here is what we have in common:

• We both had labor complications. She had to have an emergency C-section and had a violent reaction to the spinal. I had two labor and delivery nurses on my pelvis pushing down trying to get Nathanial out.
• We both had postpartum depression and felt like complete failures as mothers.
• We both had problems breastfeeding. I kept getting infections and her milk never came in.
• She's taking classes to become a nurse and I have thought about nursing school. Both of us have approached it due to how the nurses in the hospital took care of us.

It was so refreshing to speak with someone who understood me and didn't pass judgement. Not that I feel judgement from other people, but when someone has BEEN there, it's just different. It was such a nice hour, I would have paid just to talk to her! The best part is, she's dang good at cutting hair. It was a good morning...
