Pregnancy Questions

So, two nights ago I was sitting watching TV and I noticed that I was getting hives on my leg. A few minutes later my arms started breaking out. Within fifteen minutes my legs and arms were swollen, red and hot with huge welts all over. I took some Benedryl and it seemed to calm down a little but they didn't go away totally. The next morning I had a few on my arms and legs and during the day they would randomly pop out again. Last night the same thing happened. During the night my feet and ankles got huge and I had them on the bottom of my feet. I was DYING!! I was talking to my friend Diana and she said that she had them this week and someone told her that it was 'winter itch'. When she looked at mine she said that hers didn't get welts like that. Is it just the pregnancy that is making it worse, or is my body freaking out at something else? I am putting this out since almost all of you have been pregnant and wanted to know if any of you have had this and what you did. I'm sick of itching all the time!! Benedryl isn't really helping too much, my body really doesn't like being pregnant!!
HELP!!

Good News

We are adding a new addition to the Leishman family. We are very excited to be having another baby. The kids are very anxious and happy to have another sibbling. It's going to be very interesting to see how our life goes with a baby again. Our kids are so easy right now, they can all do so much for themselves, I think I will have to be re-trained on taking care of a baby again. I'm thinking around the beginning of August, so the kids will start school right after the baby gets here. It will be nice to be able to have time alone with the baby while all the kids are at school. All of the kids are going to be such a big help, this baby will probably be spoiled like crazy, but that's the way it goes! I'm excited to start buying baby stuff again. We have given almost everything away so too bad, I guess I will have to go buy new stuff!! The kids and Steve have been really great so far. I don't have the best pregnancies, and they have been such a big help.

Happy Thanksgiving









Scott and Chrissy came to be with us over Thanksgiving. It was so great to have them. My kids really enjoyed getting to spend time with them. Steve put Scott to work sheetrocking the garage. The kids loved their new dog Tinkerbell and we are so glad they have a dog so my kids can get their fill without us having to have one!! We spent some time hiking around Garden of the Gods. We love that place and we never get tired of going there. Lizzie was in one of her moods that day, but the rest of us enjoyed it. I'm glad we had a break from the snow on Friday afternoon so we could go.
