35 weeks

This week started off great and ended terribly! We had our maternity pictures taken on Thursday and had so much fun! I can't wait to see them! We took them all outside and ended the session with some of us sitting in a field. I am really scared of spiders and insects so I wasn't a huge fan of sitting in tall grass or even walking through it, but I figured it was worth getting some really good pictures. We haven't seen any of the pictures yet, but I can definitely say that no picture is worth what we have been through the last few days! We woke up the next morning itching like crazy and were covered in chigger bites! I have never been so miserable as I have been with all these bites. There is nothing you can do to get rid of the them faster; you just have to try not to itch them because they will scab up and scar. We have been putting on anti-itch cream and taking Aveeno oatmeal baths. Somehow I managed to get a lot more bites than Steven, and the combination of being this pregnant and itching all over my body is something nobody should experience! They are starting to feel a little better so hopefully the itching will go away soon, but I read that the bumps can last weeks...yuck! So other than the last few days, I have felt good, and we are getting very excited about meeting baby Barrett! We cannot wait for him to be here!

My right side got a lot more bites.

Just a small part of the bites on my back.
