Itchy Ankles!

AAAAArrrrgghhH!! My ankles are so itchy!!! I want to scratch and scratch until they bleed!!

For the past week and a half, I have been suffering from itchy ankles at night! At first, it started with itching as I as getting into bed. Then the itching got worse and would wake me up at night. I had thought that perhaps we had bedbugs or some sort of creepy critter, but when S logically pointed out that he's not itchy, I calmed down. I've managed to soothe the itching a little bit (but not much) by applying Aveeno Lotion with Oatmeal and Mentholatum just before getting into bed. Lately, it has creeped into my daytime and no amount of lotion can stop it!

A quick Google has revealed that this is apparently normal in 20% of pregnant women. I hope this doesn't last too long and hope I don't get itchy elsewhere. It's killing me!

Today is 10 weeks, 6 days! The past 3 weeks have been ROUGH with the morning sickness and I've done very little to function properly. However, the past couple of days have been better, so I hope this is a sign that the M/S is finally letting up! Just 9 days until our next ultrasound! I'm staying positive and hoping that all will be well with the little one.
