Bec: Welcome and I hope you have a h & h 8 more months

Possums: Welcome back and I hope this is your forever bubba.

Renee: I'm hoping you are giving birth as I speak...

Big hello to everyone else and I hope you all had very happy Xmas's and New Years.

I'm suffering from what appears to be PUPPS at the moment. It started on NYE and my belly is now covered in little red bumps and is itching like made...ggggrrrrr.. I am going to call the midwives at my OB's office tomorrow but I went to the chemist today to get something to help and all they could recommend was Pinetarsol for external relief and Claratyne for the next couple of days to help with the itching. The pharmacists thinks the hot weather on NYE has brought on the rash, but I just hope it goes away as I've been reading that it can last until the babies are born... and that's another 19 weeks and 3 days away (not that I'm counting)....

Oh, and today at the supermarket an old lady came up to me and said "Ah, not too much longer for you"
my reply: "I'm not even half way yet"
then "It must be twins"
"Yes"
"Well I hope summer is not too hot for you. It is bad enough being pregnant with one during summer so 2 would be horrible"
"Yes I also hope summer is not too hot".

I think I might need to start keeping a record of how many times I get asked "How much longer". It sure would be interesting.

Anyway better start getting dinner organised.
