Eric and Lisa

Well, it's been another interesting week in the Oglesbee household! For some reason or another, I've contracted a rash known in the U.S. as PUPPP -- Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy -- which usually occurs towards the end of pregnancy, but I've been "lucky" enough to get it five weeks later. It's not a very common condition; it happens to about 1 out of every 140-260 women in their initial pregnancies. If you're interested (which I don't know why you would be), here's a website that tells all about the lovely condition: dermatology.about.com/cs/pregnancy/a/puppp.htm

However, itchiness and all, we had a very nice Memorial Day weekend. We were able to go up to northern Indiana and spend a day or two with each set of parents (Ian's grandparents). It was kind of an impromtu trip -- on Thursday night, we realized we had no plans for the weekend and the thought of staying at home all three days made us feel stir-crazy, so we decided to go visit our families again! It was really a lovely visit with both sets. Ian did much better schedule-wise this time, although, he seemed noticably glad to be home.

Today, Eric went back to work after the long weekend, and this evening, I start "working" for the first time since Ian was born! I'm currently only tutoring two students, but I hope to build up my clientele as the summer goes on. It will be nice to ease into working again. I'm looking foward to seeing how the summer unfolds!
