ITCH ITCH ITCH!!!

As far as pregnancy goes, this one is going pretty well, especially since I haven't been sick anymore. However, this rash may drive me crazy. I do pretty good during the day but the night and early morning (now) are about to send me over the edge. I really want to scratch my skin off. I think I would rather deal with the pain of no skin than the itching at this point. Again, if I focus on the positive, I can feel my leg this time around, my heartburn isn't half as bad and I'm still relatively comfortable. I just hope it goes away when the baby is born. Today, my goal is to do anything that may help. I'm planning on drinking as much water as I can handle, not scratching, bathing myself in lotion and topping it off with some steroid cream. Hopefully I don't loose my mind!

I'm sorry sweetie, but considering what you'll get, it is probably well-worth the annoyance. Hang in there. It will pass. Love you lots, Mom

Pregnancy just blows. I'm so glad it is over and I have my sweet baby. Better out than in as my sister says. I'm sorry about your rash. That is just so weird. What is the name you have picked out? Are you telling people? We had such a hard time thinking of a boy name and then it was a girl so all that stress was for nothing. Hang in there. It will be over before you know it. Joyce

How miserable!! I feel for ya. We should all be able to have smooth, lovely pregnancies where we just grow a cute little basketball in front, our butt doesn't grow, our ankles don't swell, we don't have wierd rashes, etc. etc. I'm waiting for a shot of the belly!!!! Come on, you have really slacked off with baby #2. (J/k)
love, Tres

I just want to know why you are posting at 4 in the morning. I guess maybe because your itching woke you up. If so that's so gawdawful powerful itching.
