Update

Well. It's been one week and one day with this nasty rash.
It's gotten worse, over my arms, and it's on my upper legs and by my ankels now. I went to the doctor and it's not PUPPP. (PUPPP is a pregnancy rash, I am glad I don't have that, becuase it spreads all over the tommy and legs, and can stay for up to 3 weeks after delivery) The only down side of not having PUPPP, is that I don't know what I have. I keep trying to think of what I am eating or touching. I stopped all lotions from bath and body works. I stopped eating citrus. I am trying to remember if I did anything. I think I may have cleaned my bathroom with comet right before I got the rash, but I think the rash may have already started. I am on benedryl morning and night, and benedryl anti-itch cream too. This thing is horrible. I feel like I hvae 1,000,000 red ant bites, or poison ivy. Which I know it's not able to transfer, I have tried rubbing my arm on Chris. He's good. I think it's due to my delecate pregnancy skin.
On a good note. Carter is doing great. He's head down now. Only 5 more weeks from Monday I get to see him. I still haven't gotten to the "I want him out now" stage. I really do like feeling him, and talking to him. (My misery is from the rash) His movements have become stronger, and they can take my breath away. he's found my stomach, which has given me a little nausea the past two nights. But I still love to feel him. Chris got to see him go crazy the other night. (We were watching Sat. Night live, and a rock band was on....I guess Carter likes rock.) He was really movin'. I just pray and pray that anything I have to go through he doesn't. I pray he isn't itchy right now too. The doctor's said he's fine it's a me thing, but that's my only pray is that it stays that way. However, I would like to get rid of this rash myself too.
