The countdown may be shorter than we originally thought. I went to the doctor last week because of some serious itching and breaking out starting at my scalp and running all the way down my back to my waist. Not to mention my forehead, chest and upper arms. It appears that I have what they call as PUPPS. It's pregnancy related and unfortunately only goes away once you give birth. So in the mean time just imagine having the worst case of chicken pox possible covered with mosquito bites. I want to scratch my skin off!!
So they ended up giving me steriods which I was very nervous about, but they assured me that it will not cross into the baby so we are safe.
With all this being said as of Friday they determined that they will induce me at 39 weeks due to the severity of the PUPPS, in conjunction with my high blood pressure. Which had never been a problem until this week. Seems like it's all colliding at once.
So if they induce me early that puts us right around our wedding anniversary, which in some ways is kind of cute. However, I do home LB has it's own birthday.
This weekend as much as I was supposed to be relaxing it's hard. I feel like there is still so much to do before LB arrives. All the while knowing that the baby is not going to know weather or not things are done, or if its closet is all put together or if it's room is done. The problem is I know and it will drive me crazy until it's all complete.
Chris has been working night and day to get the floors done, but unfortunately the weather out here is just not playing along. It's been so humid that we can't stain anything until that humidity drops, or else the polyurethane will bubble up and we will have to redo the floors again in the future.
I know he feels the crunch time too. I've tried my very best to be calm about the fact that our bedrooms is both in the living room and dinning room, everything is a dusty mess and there is just stuff everywhere! So not the way I normally keep the house.
I guess it's a good thing that mom and dad are coming out after the baby's born. Maybe I will have some projects for them :) Should they want to putter around the house.
At least I can look at all the stuff that is done, all the laundry is done, all the bags are packed for the hospital, all the freezer meals are made, and most of all my Tupperware cabinet is organized. Ha ha just kidding on being the most important thing.
I moved most of the cleaning stuff out of the bathroom so now it's all in one spot downstairs, not that my baby will be digging under the sink that fast but it's one less thing for me to keep in the back of my mind.
So take my mind off of everything I'm baking Chris chocolate chip cookies :) He defiantly deserves a special treat for all of his hard work!

Yikes, I don't know what PUPPS is, but it sounds miserable. I hope that it clears up quickly. I have truly enjoyed getting to partake in your adventure by reading your blog. You have always been so good at creating wonderful things to read with your words.
