Did anyone explain how the kidneys would cause a rash? That's really interesting to me because when they first put me on bedrest the bloodwork they did in the hospital showed that my creatinine levels were a tiny bit high, but we've repeated the bloodwork twice since then. Once everything was normal, and the second time I'm not sure yet because it was just drawn yesterday. The urine tests that they do in the office every time have also always been normal, but yesterday I didn't leave them any til I left (sorry if TMI) so I don't know what yesterday's showed. At this point I'm so tired of being pregnant that I wish they WOULD induce me... I know that's just the long time of already being swollen and looking like Shamu's twin talking, but I also really do just want to hold my baby with my arms.
To make it worse/better (depending on who you ask) my SO accepted a foster dog into the house from Rescue a Golden of Arizona. He's a sweetheart, we got him last night, but my dogs are going nuts. The puppy tired herself out in no time, which is fine, and she's actually behaving, but our 1 year old Great Dane is on protective overdrive and won't let this foster dog near me. It would be nice except that foster dog likes to JUMP and is 2 years old with no basic training and is not neutered. So basically I end up with a full grown Golden jumping on me, a 130 lb Dane knocking into me while trying to push him off of me, and a 35 pound Golden Doodle either watching or wandering around going, "duh... you guys are dumb.. duh..."
