    Default Could today get any worse?

    Wesley was diagnosed with true phimosis towards the end of last month. Only about 2% of uncircumcised boys will ever have a medical problem regarding circumcision, but lucky us, Wesley was in that 2%. The circumcision was today, which has lead to a sleepless night and a really rough day for all of us.

    Finally, I decide that I cannot stand the rash I have on my back (right where my bra strap hooks) and the right side of my chest anymore. It itches, it burns, and all of a sudden it blistered, but today is scabby.

    I HAVE SHINGLES!!!

    I have already had chicken pox twice, (badly in both cases) and now I have shingles. At the age of 24. While 18 weeks pregnant.

    I am a very unhappy camper.

    I'm sorry. I had shingles when I was 15. Not fun.

    I am so sorry you guys are having such a rough time. Prayers for you and Wesley. Hope tomorrow is a better day for you all.

    Now, did I read the last two sentences you wrote correctly? Did I read that you are pregnant? Well if so,

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!

    haha, yeah you read that correctly.

    Baby two is on his or her way! I am due November 24, but I really want a Black Friday baby. How funny would that be?

    I'm sorry to hear about all this, hopefully Wesley's discomfort and pain will resolve itself very quickly and you shingles also. I have never had them but have heard it is horrible. BIG HUGS!!

    Also, Congratulations on your pregnancy. Hopefully you can offload these shingles and have the rest of the time stress free.
