Hectic Day.
9am - High Risk Clinic appointments. Saw the nurse and I've LOST WEIGHT! Only 1.5lb but I'm still very surprised, I have not been eating differently --infact worse! The nurse said it's absolutely not a cause for concern. My BP is 90/70 - on the low side of normal. Saw the OB next, and she was very nice, even let Dylan use the Doppler to listen to the baby's heartbeat which he was absolutely thrilled with. She measured me and said I'm measuring at 34 wks (which I am) so this baby has definitely stopped gaining at a great rate of knots, which is good. Heart sounds good! I asked her about pain relief after the c/section -- recalling that after D they'd only give me something crap like Tylenol or Voltarol and it didn't touch the pain. Here you get Tylenol 3's and Advil combined - fannntastic. Gotta love the narcotics! Endocrin next and sugars are fine!
Drove home and dropped off G (who had come to get a blood test done) and D, and went straight to see the Dermatologist about my itchy arm. He diagnosed 'NeuroDermatitis' and prescribed me with some super strong cream. He also informed me why I have darker skin on the one arm.. it's called a 'Beckers Nevus' and sadly there is no cure either medically or cosmetically other than chopping off my arm.

Massage. Very nice - needed it this week.

I'm blooming knackered already!
At least if they chop off your arm, they'll give you good painkillers :-)
