5.05.13. eczema,postpartum,

it’s baaaaaaack

my eczema has flared again - and this time it’s INTENSE.

it started as a rash over my cheeks and the bridge of my nose and quickly spread to my chest, breasts, stomach, back, arms and behind my ears. now it’s even creeping down my butt-cheeks. not cute.

i had to reassure all the mama’s at my weekly group that, no, i am not trying to pass your kid a gross rash and that it is not contagious. it was so embarrassing.

i’m keeping the dryness semi-under control with super thick Eucerin, but now my face just looks sunburned and greasy all the time. my poor husband has to stare at this mess everyday and still give me smooches.

i think i’m on my way back down the hormone mountain (got my period, my hair is falling out) so i’m pretty sure that’s the reason for the flare. all i can do is wait it out, but i just wish it would hurry up and get out of my life already.

4.28.13. over it,
oh god. i fear the day we have a girl - every article of clothing will probably be returned.

because we’re in a band, everyone in my extended family (EVERYONE) gave us ‘mommy’s little rockstar’ and ‘my dad rocks!’ onesies. cuz, yep, you’re the first person to introduce that cleverness…

also, if i get (or even see, out of the corner if my eye) one more ‘Daddy’s Big Guy’ onesie, i’m going to scream.
