Today Was Not So Bad.

Even though my hands and forearms still look like something you would see on an acid burn victim in a budget horror film, I have managed to get the pain and itching under control. Which is a good thing.

I am no longer as cranky and I have lost the desire to throw myself from the roof. Not that I ever would have, but when you are this allergic to ivy, you have those kinds of thoughts.

So today was not so bad and I am sure that tomorrow will be even better.

Poison Ivy Sucks

I am 14 weeks pregnant and I have a raging case of poison ivy.

Life is no good right now.

The last time I got poison ivy this bad it just kept getting worse to the point that I had to go to the ER and get steroid shots.

I am not in a happy place right now.

If I was not pregnant I would have gotten a shot already. But I can't because of the baby. I'm not upset about the baby i am just freakin miserable and want to jump off the roof.

Lets hope this ends in the 7-10 days that it is supposed to or their will be hell to pay.

It's in there!

I had my first appointment with my midwife last week.

She used a doppler to listen to the heartbeat and we confirmed that there is a baby in here! She comes to the house for all my visits and I don't have every single nurse or doctor that seems me trying to stick their hand up my stuff. Having a midwife is awesome!

I am trying to be patient, but I can hardly wait to meet this little person!

This is all very exciting!
