Rogaine anyone?

So many people have said that pregnancy is 9 months up and 9 months down, wherein I felt positively normal by week 2 (albeit sleep deprived) and had since washed my hands of this whole pregnancy thing. I had also heard of the whole hair-loss game that occurs after one has enjoyed at least 5 months of beautiful locks.  A few strands came out here and there, then I had to sweep up the floor a little more than usual, then my brush had to be emptied on the regular.  Now when I shower I can pull it out by the fistful not just once, but the entire time my hair is wet. My bathroom floor looks like a Lhasa apso is permanently taking a siesta upon it.  Now it is interesting where you can find random hairs of mine. All over my son and husband, in  the mac and cheese, hanging randomly on picture in my living room  I was falsely mistaken that new moms cut their hair off for convenience sake, oh no, its because I am losing more hair than Howie Mandel and has the texture of a Brillo pad.
