Well, I have discovered one major positive to having lice. Yes, contrary to popular belief there is at least one benefit.
Weight loss.
Due to the stress and busyness the little creatures created, I broke my plateau and lost between four and six pounds. I wouldn't necessarily want to repeat the ordeal just to lose a few more, but yet I won't complain about this loss.
After every pregnancy I lose about half my pregnancy weight fairly quickly. Then the other half sticks to my bones in spite of nursing. I always plateau - as a matter of fact I've been fluctuating between 1_0 and 1_4 (you didn't really think I would fill in the middle number, did you?) since my six week check-up and possibly even before that. And Dawson will be five months tomorrow!
This morning I was 1_8 and a few ounces. Yay! Yay! Yay! Hopefully my weight will keep going down - without the addition of lice to provoke it. :)

Congrats on the weight loss! I'm sorry you had to deal with lice, but as my sister & I were discussing last night - they are yucky & a terrible nuisance, but at least they won't land you in the hospital & they aren't a disease. Since we've never had to deal with them our opinions flow freely, of course ;-) But I'm glad you've suffered no adverse effects & the ordeal is over.
After your last post on family planning, I wasn't exactly sure what your title meant, LOL! ;o)
Well, I'm glad you were able to break your plateau, though I'm sorry you had to go through so much stress to do it!
