Our hair cuts aren't quite the same... but I wasn't wearing my contacts at the time and I thought, "Wow... I look like Fraulein Maria!"
My bff said that I look like her...
Which is super nice of her to say! Have you seen the movie Sliding Doors?? If not... shame... it's a good one! One of my all time favorites... anyway...
So in a weeks time I might be looking more like this...
Except hopefully I wont have such an angry face! But I might... you never know!
Hopefully I can pull it off more like this...
Oh man... can you tell that I am super SUPER SUPER nervous about being bald! More nervous than I've ever been for anything... except for maybe childbirth. But then again childbirth is like a couple hours long and then it's done!
It's not like I'm shaving my hair and it's going to grow back in a few weeks. It's going to be like this for a long time! And I have a wall of closet mirrors in my bedroom!!! Which means that I'm going to have to see myself bald quiet a bit. Oh boy!
I just hope that once the shock wears off that I'll be okay with it, maybe even like it... that might be a stretch but I really hope that I'm okay with being bald.
And you know, this short hair is really growing on me. I actually really like it now. So maybe when it starts to grow back I might actually keep it short of a while... we'll see...
I just hope that I can be okay with it. I think that it will make this cancer experience that much more real to me... and to everyone. But I'm nervous. I don't want people to stare at me. I don't want people to talk about me. I don't want to feel uncomfortable when I go anywhere or open my door to people who haven't seen me bald yet. I hope that my little boy isn't scared of me and doesn't want to look at me. I hope that Trent still thinks that I'm hot. I hope that I still like looking at myself. I'm not sure if I'm going to get a wig yet or not because honestly... I don't really want to wear a wig either. Anyway... I'm nervous... and I hope that I get used to it soon. Because like it or not... it's coming!

I know you'll have a smile on your face because to Tru you are still his mommy with or without hair and Trent would think you were hot even if you lost all your hair, both arms and your big left toe.
I was thinking you'd look like a hot G.I. Jane tough girl that's totally stunning! It takes a brave girl like you to pull off such a look, that's for sure!
you are going to look fine, girl! trent will always find you sexy and you know that!
time to embrace the future. You should come up with a song or chant to say every time you see your cute head in a mirror. as far as people staring at you- if you are confident and happy then that's what they'll see, the real you.
I would be nervous too! It is such a drastic change. I hope you still feel beautiful. It is hard when we don't feel good about the way we look, and that is life...we shouldn't view ourselves differently because our appearance changes, but sometimes it is hard not to. So, if you can, try to see yourself for the beautiful person you are on the inside (and out of course).
Meg, you will be more beautiful than all of them!
Meg you are going to look amazingly beautiful no matter what. I think that we should all shave our heads in support! ;)
your hair totally reminded me of gweneth in sliding doors! great movie. and you have great bone structure to pull off bald! the great thing about hair...it always grows back!
I think I would be the most nervous for this too. You look good with short hair, so I bet you can pull off being bald pretty well. Good luck with everything Meg.
Uhh times like these that I wish I were there in person! And I could just smile at you and say "You will be fine!" OK- at first it will make everything really "real" but that goes away really fast. I feel like after a day me and my husband were already used to it. And check this out!- I finally got a wig- and I asked my husband if he liked it, and he's like "well, I'm kind of used to you being bald now...I kind of like it." And I could tell he missed my bald head! And my mom kept saying "man, I'm not used to this! I'm so used to you being bald" It's strange how quickly you get used to it, and how when I finally covered it with hair, we all kind of missed my baldness, and I don't reall ywant to wear it- I think I will sometimes when I want to dress up. Your husband will still think your hot! And you know what? It's really nice not having to deal with your hair, and washing it in the shower- it all takes time, and now when you're most stressed, you won't have to have the stress of - making your hair look good! The first day it was strange, but you get used to it surprisingly fast. And don't be afraid to look at yourself, you will still look beautiful. It's strange but true! You will still look beautiful!
