I am not one to complain (at least I don't think I am) but this past week and a half has been pretty rough. I have developed PUPPP. Not sure if many people have heard of it ( I hadn't until recently) but it is a pregnancy - induced skin rash, that can spread to the whole body, more common in women with multiples. And one that itches like crazy!! I am textbook PUPPP victim according to my doctor. The bad news is, it can last until a few weeks AFTER delivery and there is no real cure. The good news is, mine did not start until 34 weeks, whereas some people develop it as early as 12 weeks. OUCH! So all in all, I can't complain. I have found some relief in some lotions, ice and prescription medicine. My hands are the itchiest and most painful, so not a lot is getting done around the house right now! At least not by me:) Here is a sample of what the rest of me looks like:)
In other news, I think the babies are still growing like weeds. My stomach feels heavier and lower each day plus I have gained 3 pounds in a week, so I think they are doing just fine! I am definitely a slow waddler, but am blessed to still be able to get around for the most part. We are excited to meet the little guys and to introduce them to all of you. Thank you again for your continued prayers. Almost to the goal of 36 weeks! God is good!
Here is one of my last pictures (hopefully b/c I am running out of clothes):
Oh Rachel -- it does look miserable -- hope you are getting some relief from what you are using. You are doing so well -- almost there!!!
