    We believed the doctor when he told my DH that poison ivy is not contagious after the oils have been washed off him. Well, he was wrong. A full week after my DH got poison ivy he had been scratching it and then put his hand on my belly to feel Baby B. Well, about two or three days later, this is what I discovered on my belly.

    His exact hand print! Comical to some (especially my DH who is on steriods for it), not so amusing to me (who is stuck with just the bottle of Caladryl)!

    Marisa,
    So sorry that you've got to deal with that! I hope you get some relief soon. You may want to try an oatmeal bath?

    Wow! Definitely a great scrapbook pic & story! However, I'm pretty sure that's not quite what you're thinking right now. :blink: Hope the itching isn't too bad!
