PUPPP
The rash that I have appears to be PUPPP is short for Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy.
Taken from the New Zealand Dermatological Society website:
PUPPP is thought to be related to stretching of the skin on the abdomen. Most cases begin in the last 3 months, especially the last 5 weeks, when the [...]
Only a matter of days now
This weekend we are sleeping as much as possible and conserving energy knowing that life is about to change. I actually slept from 10 PM – 8 AM! I just couldn’t help forcing myself to staying in bed a little longer despite not being totally comfortable.
The doctor’s appointment on Friday showed no changes to my [...]
moving right along
I finally found confirmation that they do have wireless internet access for patients at the hospital so we’ll be able to immediately email pictures of the babies to family and friends as well as post on here. Yay!
Going to head out to IKEA with Mom in a bit to try and get some contractions going. [...]
Baby Dropped
Logan dropped at some point over the weekend (Saturday?) and boy has it been great! No more need to eat a Tums after every meal and every time I get out of bed. In fact I think I’ve had one Tums since then. I’ve been able to sleep through a whole night again! For at [...]
video additions
Mom and Dad bought us a video camera for Christmas (but gave it to us early for the babies)!!! It’s so awesome and I’m so excited to be able to use it to record and post on here as the boys grow up! So very thankful :)
While I have no intention of videoing the birth [...]
Date is Set
Just got a call from the doctor’s office. If I do not have the boys on my own by Monday I will be checking into the hospital on Monday night at 7 PM for preinduction procedures (things to help ripen my cervix). On Tuesday morning at 6 AM they will start the induction [...]
Mom
Did I mention how fun it is to have Mom here to chat with all day? I’m so thankful to have her here right now.
37 weeks
Started the morning off with a chiropractor appointment. Because of Logan dropping I wasn’t going to be able to lay on the table so I had a traditional popping adjustment. First time I’d ever had one of these and it was really crazy feeling. I feel really good though and I think I like them [...]
Ready and waiting
Mom made it into town on Saturday evening. It’s already been so nice having her here! We’ve (Mom, Me, Brad and Dusty) been telling the boys every day how ready we and the world are for them and to meet them. I’ve dropped considerably over the past few days which helped me sleep really well [...]
contractions
I’ve noticed an increase in contractions over the past few weeks. Lately I have them daily, particularly in the afternoon/evening. I’ve had a few that were sharp but I wouldn’t describe them as painful yet. Primarily they are the tightening, Braxton Hicks type. I wonder how it will feel when they change.
