Things have been crazy around our house. Between a bun in the oven, an almost-three-year-old with feet into which she hasn't yet grown, and another toddler who climbs on EVERYthing, we've had our share of visits to the doctor's office and bloody paper towels. Yikes.
Never have I experienced a full-on case of acne until now. How I pine for those poor junior high students who have cystic acne! It is terrible! I'm discovering huge cysts all over myself, including the dreaded back-ne (although that is easier to cover than facial acne), zits on my legs (it's as gross as it sounds) and all over my face. Additionally, I have just begun the wonderful sciatic-nerve-irritation phase, which will likely last for at least 39 more weeks. I can't wait to have this baby and be done with pregnancy forever!
A week ago, Karli rolled off her bed and hit her eyebrow on the edge of the dresser. She sustained a very impressive black eye (fortunately, no stitches, phew!), after which she tripped in the family room and knocked her cheek on the corner of the coffee table. The poor child looks like an abuse victim, and I think all of our neighbors are wondering. She just needs to grow into those beautiful, ballerina feet.
As I've mentioned before, Rex is part-primate. He has further convinced me of his primal/ancestral awareness by climbing up anything and everything. Sunday night, he climbed up the outside of the staircase and did a wonderful swan dive off the edge. He knocked one of his front teeth straight back into his mouth, bruised his whole upper lip and gums, and bit a huge chunk out of his bottom lip. Even worse, though, was that he bled all over his darling, white, U of M jammies! The nerve.
Fortunately, none of us has contracted H1N1 flu and we are all surviving the rigors of life with kids under age 5. Let's hope these phases fly by.

You poor thing! Hang in there!!! =)
Pregnancy is just awful!! The only thing I'm jealous of is that you will be done for good after this!! I wish I could be done! I hope Rex and Karli are ok and will survive. Poor kids. Give them kisses from me!! Miss you guys!
Zits!!!! How fun. I don't know which word is worse, zit, pimple, carbuncle, or pustule. What do you think? In some way, I admire people who are still going through puberty. All that oily skin will keep them looking young when my dry skin will crack even more with ever smile.
I think it may be time to invest in full body armor for your kids. I'm sure you can get it in pink platinum for the girls. As for you, a suit of armor made of some exotic exfoliating green mud scented with lilacs maybe.
Well I doubt the acne covers how cute you are! I know how awful those little things bothered me during pregnancy. I thought I was fat and smelled.
Your poor kids sounds like the are typical kids with all the bruises and scratches on them. My kids always get more during the summer.
Keep your head up I hear that milkshakes make lots of thing better!:)
Oh, sweetie! I'm sorry! That sounds so rough! I hope the blood came out of the jammis at least!
I feel for you babe! The backne is my worst peril when I am having a boy. I wonder why. But you are right, at least you can put a shirt on and cover those ones up. It will be over before you know it. I only have 5 days left and the shock of 4 kids is hitting me all of a sudden. I'm sure we'll make it through somehow!
