If there's a pregnancy symptom in a book, I have it! The latest one...PUPPPs. And no, it's not related to dogs. I know many of you are wondering if you need to go to Babies R Us or Petsmart now LOL!
It's basically a rash that happens in the last trimester of pregnancy that starts on your stomach but can spread to your arms and legs as well. Basically its a reaction to the fetal DNA...so I'm allergic to my own baby! It's not harmful to baby or me, just REALLY annoying. I have a mild case now so we're just treating with some Benedryl at night and cortisone cream during the day. Unfortunately, this rash won't go away until after delivery so I'm stuck with this for the next 10 weeks!
Here's more info on it if you're interested:
On another note, we finally found a sitter! YAY! The most stressful thing is done. She's a very nice lady, she has kids around my age and lives literally around the corner. She has a beautiful home and is registered with the State of Ohio.
Not much else is going on...I'm getting lots of kicks, they're under the ribs now and starting to hurt. They're not cute little taps anymore. That means the little baby is growing and getting strong! We're getting anxious and excited to meet this little person! We have our hospital tour scheduled for Sunday and our Baby Basics class scheduled for March 6th. I'm starting to get nervous about the actual delivery...I watch too much tv and see all these things that might or might not happen!
Here's this week's belly shot!
