Hives. I got 'em.

I'm itchy.  And red.  And bumpy. The picture of my leg says it all.  According to Dr. Google, hives are not uncommon in early pregnancy due to changing hormones.  Hrm.  I didn't get them with my first pregnancy.  But then again, my boobs aren't sore at the moment and they were KILLING me when I was pregnant with Ian.  So I guess each pregnancy is different.  I'm so happy to be pregnant that I'll take this symptom with a smile on my face.  But I'm also planning to smear on some anti-histamine lotion with an even bigger smile.

This is crazyily ironic. I actually had skin exactly like this when I was about 14-21, I seen specialists who told me it was an overreaction of my skin and that I would grow out of it. Which I did, I am now 29, I have had two babies and honestly have not had that rash since I was about 21. I do get nerve rashes still and a lot of blotchy hot patches on my arms, neck and torso from alcohol. But no major diseases known so far!
