I feel like crap. This PUPPP rash is driving me insane. I am close to taking my OB up on her offer to have me hospitialized for intravenous steroids and antihistimines. Right now, the rash is begining to spread to my arms (great). I am nauseated and I can't sleep. On top of it all, Anna ia all pissed off because she can't move as freely as she once could so she's punching the crap out of my right side and pushing her butt up into my rib cage.
I've taken Benadryl and 8 mg of Zofran and still no relief. Good gracious! Is it not enough that I've reached the size of a small elephant? Is there nothing that I can do to relieve this itch?
I haven't even left the house other than to go to my OB appointment a week ago and to take Bella to a birthday party on Saturday (from which I left early, leaving Andy to handle the kiddo). I missed mass. I haven't been to the pharmacy to pick up prescriptions. Nothing. This rash is horrible ... it's turning me into a hermit. I sit around the house in a pair of boxers and a tank top, with fans and cold compresses on me, scratching like an old dog with fleas.
I fell asleep last night around, oh, 10:30 p.m. and woke up at 1:30 a.m. I suppose my body is getting geared up for Anna's schedule, but oh what I'd do for a good, quality, eight hour sleep.
Less than 44 days tops, right? My original due date was Sept. 26th. I'm hoping to go around 37 weeks which would put me going into labor around, what, labor day? That would be awesome.
Anyway, I'm going to go take a shower. Cool water seems to make the itch a little less irritating, so I'm going to stand there in all my massive glory and enjoy the chilly water.
I wanted to post the latest diatribe from my dear anti-Catholic friend who, while preaching sola scriptura, subscribes to the beliefs of a 19th century teenager who had a "vision" and began preaching the rapture. Funny, Kerri treats the Blessed Virgin Mary like a tramp and the visions of Her throughout history as hogwash, but regales the imagination of Margaret McDonald as Gospel. Go figure. She also has a habit of talking trash about the Catholic Church, but ignoring the fact that most other mainstream Christian denominations believe the same things.
She posted a comment to my post of yesterday morning, but I hit the wrong button and denied the post. Since her ignorant anti-Catholic rantings make me laugh now (she is a card ...), I had to post it. Enjoy. And if you have time, go over to her online pulpit and read her "preachin'" ... makes me glad I left the Baptist faith back in 1993 as ignorance was never "bliss" for me.
(***To any non-Catholic readers, if you want to know what the church teaches and why, do not trust the likes of Kerri. She is a fervant anti-Catholic who really wouldn't know Christian doctrine if it walked up and bit her on her self-righteous butt. Instead, talk to a devout Catholic. Talk to a priest. You wouldn't go to a plumber for information on rewiring your house, would you?)
===================================
Kerri has left a new comment on your post "Argh! Go away!! And 10 Things I Want to do Before ...":
You know the very best thing to do before one dies is make sure that you have eternal life and will spend eternity in Heaven with Christ and that is done ONLY through complete faith and reliance on the Lord Jesus Christ who did everything necessary for our salvation. We are either cleansed COMPLETELY through His blood or not at all. No works of penance will cleanse our sins, no fire, no communion, no man - only through the Lord Jesus Christ!You know Pam I read that page you told me about on what the Roman Catholics believe on the end times and I thought it very sad. It once again showed me how little hope is in the Roman Catholic religion. The return of the Lord Jesus Christ is our blessed hope and the Bible clearly teaches there will be a thousand year period where He rules from the throne in Jerusalem. I have talked some about what the Bible says about the second coming in the post I linked to this comment.

I made an answer to this post, but as I was posting the computer messed up so I'm not sure if it went through or not.
I will reanswer in case it didn't.
Pam, you can mock if you wish, but to me it is nothing more than what the Bible says in 2 Peter 3:3 "Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts"
I am not following the visions or doctrines of man or woman, but what the Bible says, Pam. Did you read the post before critizing? If not go to the link and read the post.
1 Thess 4:16-17 is quite clear there is a time Jesus is coming for His saints, "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
Which is quite different from Jude 1 among others that talk of Him coming in the air WITH His saints. Jude 1:14 "And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints"
Do you not believe in the tribulation?
This time we are in is not the tribulation - the tribulation will be much worse than anything we have seen, worse than tsunamis, hurricane Katrine, earthquakes, fires - worse than all of that put together.
The church is the bride of Christ - Jesus is NOT going to send His bride through a guantlet before taking her to Heaven.
Kerri,
First of all, I do not mock you. I pity you. You cruise around the net, Ms. High-and-Mighty, Holier-Than-Though Baptist, yet you really are ignorant of the very basics of the faith and the Savior you tout so heavily. The Protestant fascination with the tribulation and the rapture is a fairy new phenomenon (as is protestantism itself for that matter.)
You rely heavily on your interpretation of a couple of verses in the Bible, which amazes me since you are all "PROVE IT IN THE BIBLE" gung-ho.
The Christian Bible wasn't here for the firt 400 years of the Church, Kerri. It is not the pillar of truth for a believer. I seriously doubt that Christ would enable only those lucky enough to have and to be able to read the Bible, which, again, is a fairly recent phenomenon.
Pam, you are wrong. They had scripture from the beginning. No it was not collected in one book that we call the Bible. But from very early in the church they had the completed Scriptures that we have perserved written in our King James Bibles today.
The disciples believed the same things I am telling you - that Jesus could come any minute. Read the Scriptures and see what Peter, John, Paul, Jude - all say!
They believed we were saved by grace through faith. How do I know they believed that? - because I have in my hands written proof they believed it.
Never did they write or teach to go through Mary or a priest to reach God. Never did they teach that Mary was sinless. Never did they teach that the Lord's supper was anything more than symbolic -done in obedience and remembrance of what the Lord Jesus did for us.
It is very clear from written Scripture that I hold in my hands that they did not believe baptism saved us or cleansed us from our sins. Rather it is clearly written that ONLY the blood of Jesus can do that. NEVER did they say that the fires of a made up place like purgatory finished cleansing us of sin to make us fit for Heaven. That is blasphemy - the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ cleanses us of ALL sin.
I am not lifting myself up, Pam, I am lifting up the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word! I will continue to trust Him and His Word!
Kerri, no honey YOU are wrong. Your little King James Version of the Bible was NOT in existence until 1611. Yes, there were plenty of writings circulating between the member congregations of the early church (so named the CATHOLIC Church in the first century by Ignatius, third bishop of Antioch and a student of the Apostle John). Why do you worship that faulty version of the Bible, one "authorized" by a homosexual? (I mean come on ... unicorns Kerri? Freaking unicorns? LOL ...)
There were a whole lot more than the 27 books you carry now. (The books which were canonized by the Catholic Church at the end of the 4th century in response to rising heresies.)
Before you start regurgitating the propaganda spread by the likes of Jack Chick, perhaps you should go back and read all of the early church writings that were used in the early churches.
All of the tenets which you mock today WERE a part of the very, very early congregations.
I pity you because you place your faith in a sect founded post reformation, a faith that is full of heresy and lies. You do not life up Christ, you lift up your own personal interpretation of a gay version of the Bible.
I pray that the Lord will open your eyes ... before it really is too late. For yes, He will return. It could be five minutes from now, five day, five years, five hundred years. No one knows when -- not even you.
