Mommy and the Marine

I am in the middle of a small post. About my weekend. Haven’t even started the one on our vacation driving through the Eastern part of America. That will be a fun one, let me tell ya. If i ever get the energy to sit here and write it all out, it will be done. I am still SO exhausted and this HEAT is unbelievable. I am ready to just curl up in bed with fans and a/c on full blast and just lay there with an Ice Cold Midori Sour Sprite.

Other than that, we are doing good. Nausea was gone for a while, I think it’s returning though??? I might already be feeling the baby, is that nuts? Not a lot, just a couple times a day when I am really still. And… what else… OH I figured out I was allergic to the prenatals I was taking. That’s why I had all those bumps all over me. In the words of my OB’s nurse “That is *SO* bizarre-o!” Yeah, so I am on new ones, which might actually be making me sick. And I had a dream it’s a boy In my dream, I was given these “magic” stickers, I stuck one on my hand and it turned into a penis. Lovely.

That I was on vacation? I’m pretty sure I was hinting about it but wasn’t sure if I said anything about it. I have been gone since the 12th and will hopefully be home tomorrow night. Phew! I will have TONS of stories and pictures to share but until then. this is it. I am sitting in a hotel room and ready for bed. Be back soon

Well, I am finishing up the second day and I’d say about 65% have faded and aren’t as itchy. But that still leaves 45% of the rash on my body that is making me f’in crazy. My parents are coming in tomorrow and we are headed out for a VACATION. These steroids better work fast because I am hoping to be in a swimsuit ya know? Ugh.

And take a look at this! My nausea has somewhat subsided and I have been able to sit at the computer for longer amounts of time!

Ok that is all from me for the day… hope everyone is doing well! I love to hear from all of you and your thoughts for this stupid rash are mucho appreciated.

Ok, so it’s an “allergic reaction.” Though what I am allergic to, is a mystery. I am still so itchy… and when I got the results from my GP this morning, she told me I could take zyrtec. I had an appt at my OB later on this morning and when he saw the rash, he was shocked. He knew I was in a lot of pain and he said that on Sunday I can start a steroid pack. THANK THE LORD. Seriously. This better work. Wanna see it? It’s nasty… consider yourself warned. Actually… it probably doesn’t look that bad. In pictures, it just kinda looks like bites, but when you see me, they are SO red~ some are scabbed, some are scaly, some are blistered. When I get out of the bath or shower, they all dry up and look like my skin is going to crack. And it itches… did I mention that?! It itches BAD.

Please excuse my lovely fat rolls… shut it. The first picture is from when it first started. I thought I was attacked by fleas. Click here to see.

This picture is from about 2 days ago. My body is tilted from the way I am standing, so my boobs aren’t normally “off” like that LMAO… and I don’t usually have black blocks for nipples Click here for that lovely picture

Ok enough of that… hopefully things are looking up now that I can recover. Even though we have no idea what exactly I’m allergic to. Blah.

Changing subject: Have you heard/seen this?! How COOL!!! I think this is so incredibly neat.
