I realized I've been in such a deep state of hell I hadn't even updated in a while. Baby is doing great. At my last appt (which was my first appt with maternal fetal medicine because of gd), I had another ultrasound and she was 3lbs 10oz. :) I go back on feb 9th for another ultrasound. Can't wait to see how much she's grown. She's very active and loves smoothies. ;) doc put in to schedule the c-section today. Will be at 39 weeks unless she's looking too large, but not likely as I've been measuring appropriately in my fundal measurements and I haven't gained much weight. Still 10lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight.
As for the hell I've been in, I finally got diagnosed with having pupps. It's seriously the worst hell and I don't wish it on anyone.... Honest to god. Had it since October, but around thanksgiving it got REALLY bad and all of December I honest to god wanted to die. I begged God to take my life. The itch was so intense I was scratching myself till I bled and I now have lesions all over my body that have crators and they hurt. :( beginning of January it started to improve slightly and recently I was able to obtain a stronger steroid with the diagnosis of pupps. I've been on the stronger steroid for a few days now and I can tell its def helping. Last night was the first night I slept through the night (with several third trimester bathroom breaks lol) without having to shower. My lesions look like they're slowly healing and I pray by the time I have her this will all be a distant memory. I still itch but it's much milder compared to what it was.
