Everything Else
I see I haven't done a pregnancy update in awhile, so I shall have to remedy that. Still coping with the itching, but it seems now that I may have developed a steroid allergy, and since all the prescriptions we've been trying contain steroids, that's obviously a problem. So now my doctor has me starting a specially-made concoction of lidocaine and Crisco, of all things. At this point, I don't really care how bizarre it sounds, as long as it works.
My blood pressure is also creeping steadily upwards, so I've been spending a lot of time resting. I get dizzy if I even sit for too long, let alone try to do things like...oh, say, driving my kids to and from school. So that's been fun.
On the upside, though, the baby appears to have settled into a mostly vertex position (though he still flips around a LOT), so I'm hoping to at least avoid a c-section, if nothing else. I don't think I'm going to make it to my due date, though. I'm hoping he'll hang on til at least my birthday (I don't get along too well with Pisces, as my ex-husband can attest), but that will depend on my blood pressure, among other things. So place your bets now -- when will BB make his debut? My money's on the spring equinox. How 'bout yours?

"I don't get along too well with Pisces"
Hey, I'm a Pisces! Are you trying to tell me something?
"when will BB make his debut?"
March 16th, because that's the bestest day ever! :-)
