These are
not my feet. Well, they are... But they don't usually look so fat and swollen. This may be my new least favorite part about pregnancy. At least I got to 37.5 weeks before finding it...
I've now paid the price for too much time on my feet. And though I did not leave the house today in an effort to rest more and be on my feet less... I don't think I was actually on my feet less. I was doing dishes, laundry, changing sheets, and working on organizing all the baby stuff we've received recently. And because I'm just this neurotic, I have been separating everything into categories (ie diapering, clothes, blankets) and taking pictures for when I post all the baby shower pictures (soon, I hope). And so tonight, my feet feel horrible again. I have had good blood pressure, so I don't think it's pre-eclampsia. But maybe they'll take my blood pressure at the Stork Express visit tomorrow morning. And I've looked up all the symptomology and I really think I have just over-done it. Plus it has been ridiculously hot in Washington the last couple days. Today's high was 87 degrees (while Dothan's was 69, for anyone interested). That's disgusting. To quote a gal I know from church: "What the heck, Washington?" So I'm trying to guzzle water -- and I need to try harder to stay off my feet. But I now have 3 piles of laundry waiting to be washed -- all the outfits and blankets and crib sheets we've received.
P.S... Those little plastic things they use to hold tags on clothes, and to hold baby blankets together in a cute display way... I think they may be the devil. Especially the ones in the blankets. Seriously -- how many does one blanket need? (By my count, it's possible the number is 10...). Haha...

Prop and take a load off, momma! You will be glad you did!! This is where flip flops become your best friend! BTW, I do think you're swell!!
It's just being on your feet too much :) don't stress and take it easy relax!!! Stop nesting so much!!! ;)
I'm so sorry you're feeling swollen, but so happy (and not surprised) that you're keeping such a fabulous sense of humor about it! You're incredible - and wow, so close!!! :)
