Hives
For a lack of anything better to post on let me tell you about my hives. Well I've been itching for almost a week now. I kept thinking, man there's so many bugs biting me! Then yesterday my tongue started hurting. You know like when you burn it on a hot liquid? It feels like that all around the edge and underneath and some on top and its hard to taste anything well. I looked up "itchy, painful tongue" on google and found out that I have hives. (connected these weird "bites" with the tongue thing) So the remedy is to take benedryl, which I did last night, with a bit of a hang over this morning. Anyway, I have no idea how I got these hives. Our best guess is irritation from our very tall grass (which Bob cut last night). Anyone have any ideas or experience with this? I know medical stuff really doesn't make a very fun post. Oh well.

Michelle, twice I've broken out in hives due to stress. Last year it happened when we were adopting Livia. Other times hives are an allergic reaction to something. Hope they go away soon! Being itchy is no fun...

Yeah that really could be it. I guess I've been a bit stressed about baby number two and being so busy these days. They seem to be getting better today though.
