Well That's Just Swell...

Photobucket
See what I mean by swell? (But how cute is my polish???)

Those are my poor feet this morning. And interestingly, they were much worse last night. It's not just in my feet and ankles, my hands keep falling asleep (without looking too bad, though). My head feels full...like my ears are kinda fluidy feeling and I have some sinusy stuff without being sick. My eyelids are swollen. It's pretty crazy. I think a lot of it is the heat. Or what we call heat here in Colorado. :)

I don't even remember my ankles being quite this bad with Easton, then again, that was wintertime and sock and shoe weather so I think the shoes kept the swelling mostly in my legs and out of my feet. And let's not forget my face back then too. :) My hands fell asleep often during the end of E's pregnancy as well.

The biggest difference...my blood pressure this morning was still mostly okay. I usually take it at night but I took it this morning just to see and it had crept up a teeny bit...by teeny I mean, not quite 10 points for either number. It could just be a time of day thing. I dunno.

I have my 36 week OB visit tomorrow so we'll see.

Being that I am 36 weeks (today!) we are packing our hospital bag today and I'm trying to have other things ready for the impending arrival. My gut doesn't feel like I'll make it to 09/09/09. I'm not sure it ever did. I'm just super super happy we're even 36 weeks with the way things were looking a few weeks ago. I'm thankful for every day I get to carry this baby. I really am.

I'm still not miserable and wishing I was done already or anything...so we'll see what happens in God's perfect time.

Puffy, oh-so-cute piggies! I can't believe you are 36 weeks already! Yay! Curious to hear what the OB says tomorrow! :)

I've seen your feet a lot today. Probably more than I've seen my own. LOL.

I hope it isn't anything more than heat!
