I'm diseased

Hooray for 16 week appointment! Baby Z's heartbeat still sounds good, which was a relief to hear because I feel like the least pregnant woman on the planet (despite my jeans being unable to button.) Today's visit was uneventful except that I got to schedule the ultrasound, which is still a month away.

So... I've had a rash that I call the "Bubonic Plague" on my stomach? (Chris kindly reminds me that it's really more 'leprosy' than 'bubonic plague' in his opinion. ...Thanks babe.) I have been freaking out for weeks thinking that it *could* be Pityriasis Rosea which is associated with miscarriages. So I asked my midwife about it ...yeah it's just ringworm. I've been losing sleep over ringworm.

Gross.

Double gross? I went home and started smearing anti-fungal cream all over it and my dog started licking it off. I picked him up, looked in his eyes, and said 'Mr. Beaux, that is anti-fungal cream. You must not lick it." He stared back at me lovingly and seemed to understand. Then just to show there were no hard feelings, he licked the inside of my mouth.

Can swishing with bleach harm the baby?

I think I'm going to go to sleep and start this day over.
