So we’re back to suffering. I talked to my OB again today, and he’s calling in an rx and made me an appt with the dermatologist. The only hitch is that the rx will make me sleepy, and I can take benedryl to do that, so I don’t even know that it’s worth it. The …

Branching out into alternative medicine
I’m going to start taking milk thistle and dandelion supplements for the itching. It was so awful last night (getting out of a medicated bath) that I sobbed all over Marc because I was so itchy and big and uncomfortable and yucky. Which reminds me – I have to say that my husband is AWESOME …

Morose
That’s me today. Part of it is just hormones, I’m sure, Marc and I didn’t have a sunshiney morning and that always makes my day lousy. Part of it is the doctors appt today – which I should be grateful about, because I do not have gestational diabetes or cholestatis. I didn’t want either of …

I don’t get siblings still battling into their thirties
At some point, aren’t we supposed to grow up? I’m in the middle of this utterly stupid situation that feels ridiculously reminiscent of being eight years old and arguing over who Mom loves best. I’m so tired of it… it’s just literally so stupid, I’m embarrassed to be involved with it. I’m sad to be …

Would like to not complain
So I won’t. Mostly. I’ll just mention that my hips ache so badly that I fear labor, not because of the pain, but because I’m sure that I’m going to hooked up to a fetal monitor for at least part of it, and sitting in one position is awful anyway, but laying in a bed …

Oh – the itching….
Forgive me, I know. I know that I’m blessed and so incredibly fortunate to be pregnant – and I truly can’t wait to hold this baby in my arms, entirely for her own sake, and not just because when I can hold her, I won’t be pregnant any more. I even like a lot of …

Just another day in paradise
Much to discuss – overwhelming itching and fatigue, freaking myself out about rare liver disorder that will result in delivery of baby four weeks early. Not that I have this – but there’s nothing like the internet for self diagnosis… I was on my way to the doctor’s today (for bloodwork to rule out rare …

Bedtime routine
I know I’ve posted on this before – but I’m still confused by Sam’s bedtime routine. I’ve tried to be more consistent with it, but it’s strictly for my own comfort, because he certainly doesn’t need any help with it. He just goes until he’s done, then lays down and sleeps for 12 hours. Jessie, …

Itchy, so very itchy…
Wow – I really wish there was another adult here, because I really need to slather my back in lotion and quite honestly, I don’t think Sam’s up to the task… Had a delightful birthday – my wonderful husband actually planned a surprise party for Sunday and all of my favorite family and friends bounced …

Pregnancy update
Would you believe that I’m seven months pregnant? According to the Baby Book by the Sears, anyway. I was thinking six, but nope – turns out I’m officially seven months along, and delighted about it. I cried yesterday afternoon, on Marc’s shoulders… sobbing that I just didn’t want to be pregnant anymore. I was tired …
