Matthew Will Hate Me For This Much Info When He Grows Up

Hello, I am still around. One day just seems to turn into another as the world continues to turn. It's been a strange few days. We changed the clocks forward in this neck of the world on Sunday so we are officially in summer time. Woohoo. Spring is bringing some beautiful weather and putting most people in a good mood.
Health wise here we have the summer colds and have had 2 visits to the GP in 2 days. Yesterday I gave in as my eczema was getting too much. It doesn't flare up too often but when it does, it can be really uncomfortable. It is a type of eczema that only affects the hands and feet but I tend to get it on my left hand only. It starts as a dry itchy rash that then begins to blister and crack the skin. It is very sore and looks very red and inflamed. So yesterday I got it sorted out and was prescribed a steroid cream for it. You don't realise how much you use a left hand until it hurts to use it. It's things like lifting a baby in a car seat in and out of the car that creates the biggest of problems and it doesn't help that it is aggrevated further by washing products and chemicals. Already I am seeing a vast improvement with my hand since using the cream. It's the same one I was always prescribed before and I'm glad I got it as I wasn't sure I'd be able to have it being pregnant and all.
Today it was Matthews turn. Every now and then he complains that "his little bits" hurt. This is becoming a bit of an ongoing problem so ot it seen to and he has been prescribed a weaker version of my steroid cream to clear up a slight infection. The thing is, when Matthew was born, he was born with a partially formed foreskin which means it doesn't meet all the way round. This may be of no problem in the future but it may restrict growth as he grows older. It's not caused any problem so far but I'm always aware that this may be a cause for concern at some point.
James is keeping us all nice and entertained as he learns to blow raspberries and giggles at the slightest things. He also wakes us up at least twice a night as the poor little love battles with teething pain. He is just growing up so quick.
And number 3, he is doing just fine. Midwife appointment is next week
(16.5 weeks as she's only in on a Wednesday) and I might get to hear his little heartbeat. :) I'm looking forward to it.
