Week 20-39

Mark was emptying our memory cards last week and we got to looking through the week by week pictures that we took and decided to share!

I have really loved being pregnant and am looking forward to the next part of this journey.

About 3 1/2 weeks ago I developed a rash known as PUPPPS and it goes away with delivery. It usually occurs in about 1% of women, their 1st pregnancy, 3rd trimester, and usually happens when pregnant with a boy.  It doesn’t hurt Jaxon or me but it sure does ITCH. I am getting about 3-4 hours of sleep a night and usually take several naps throughout the day.

And I am trying EVERYTHING possible to help relieve the itch. Some of it has temporarily soothed the itch but definitely not relieved it completely.

• baking soda paste

• aveeno oatmeal baths

• Benadryl cream and spray

• Benadryl each night to sleep (not effective)

• Gold Bond powder

• Grandpa’s Pine Tar Soap (yes, it smells as gross as it sounds)

It has been a blessing not to be in school because I do not know how I would function each day. Mark worked from home last week and again this week as we wait. And that has been a big blessing as well.
