What day and it is not over yet!

Well, unfortunately the dermatologist did not exactly go as planned. It was determined that Lucie does indeed have scabies. While not the worst thing in the world, it was not on my list of duties this week to wash all bedding, dirty clothes, and stuffed animals, etc. etc. etc. However, on the bright side, Jarred is ready to get a new couch. Sometimes a germophobe husband comes in handy, haha. So, after we get our treatments tonight, sleep for the last night in our contaminated beds, tomorrow morning I get to wash wash wash, and dry dry dry all that cannot be washed, and send all that wont/cant go into the dryer to the dry cleaner. YEAH! But, I wont have to worry that a) I am a chicken little fearing my new baby has scabies and b) my new baby is actually found to have scabies. My personal take on this is that children are parasite havens. Lucie has now had ringworm and scabies. Children are nasty. Lucie seems to care less in general. This main issue is that I have my party tonight. So, hopefully Jarred can keep Lucie up until I get home so that I can administer her treatment. While Jarred has many skills, I am not sure that lotioning up a 2 year old from scalp to toes is one of them. I have a feeling this is a two parent job. I am hoping to just get the lotion onto her scalp and not through out her hair. This is definitely a momma job.



I did meet with Emmy today. She says baby looks great. Heart tones have good variability. She is predicting a boy, as am I. I think mainly based on the fact (for me anyway--Emmy looked at my behind and how I was carrying) that this one appears to be so much bigger than Lucie was. Emmy did comment that it is hard to feel up the weight b/c this one is going to be long. According to her outside feeling, the baby is long and about 8 lbs now. So.....who knows, I am about 37 weeks, that leave as much as 4-5 weeks to go (.5lbs per week=10lb baby). Who knows.....The moms I know who have had BIG babies say they are easier b/c there is more gravity coming down helping, haha.



Well, off to my party!
