It has been a relatively uneventful week. The major notable was the skin acne going on. It's everywhere and spreading! It especially itched horribly this week. I lost several nights' sleep. I finally figured out what was making it itch so badly that I couldn't sleep. It was the dry air. I need even more moisturizing lotion. Let me tell you, that is not easy to apply to your back all by yourself! Your daddy is still in Virginia, so I had to make do. Since I want to document everything about this journey, I'm adding a pic of my back where the acne is the worst. I think this symptom of pregnancy is probably the worst for me to deal with. Everything else, I can get used to. But I feel so ugly a lot of the time because the blemishes never go away. I have tried several routines with safe products, but because the hormones are what is causing it, nothing works. Apparently the only solution will be to evict you! But since you're so comfy, I'll let you stay for awhile. ;)
I'm happy to report no stretch marks yet. I kind of think you are pretty little...yay for me! We are getting ready for your baby shower. Dawn got the invitations done. They are so pretty! I'll have to take a picture and post it. I've also started preparing for maternity pics. I've picked out some poses and Brittany will take the professional pics. I'm excited! There is only so much I can do to make my own maternity pics special.

I don't know if you have or not, but the thing that helped my dry skin ~ my legs got so dry they cracked and bled at times ~ baby oil. Every night, baby oil. Just a little tip!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's such a difficult balance. I feel oily all the time with the acne, but right after a shower it gets dry fast! So annoying!
