Sarah's still well with child, as evidenced by this photo taken Sunday.
Sarah's otherwise textbook pregnancy has been marred by a pregnancy-related rash known as PUPPP, a really really itchy rash with no known cause. It starts on the abdomen but migrates to the legs and arms. It is not a kind itch. "Treatment of the rash is at best a mask," says Allthingspregnant.com. Sarah would agree. A stinky pine tar soap seemed to help. Interestingly, emedicine.com notes a study that found women suffering from PUPPP gave birth to boys two-thirds of the time.
These days, Sarah gets tired more easily. Doug & crew made too much noise Monday for her to nap, but she got a massage at the midwife clinic! She battles nausea and other general blahs. But all in all she's holding up quite well for being 39 weeks pregnant.

You look good, Sarah, but I'm sure you're feeling eager to bring this phase to an end. Two thirds have boys! The bets have been on a boy all along. Thanks for sharing another blog today.
Nice ristra.
