Added some new pics ... lol swollen ankles

Well added some new pics in my profile. My poor swollen ankles, although this is pretty tame considering. I gained 8lbs of water weight last week. I see my doc tomorrow... lets see if I have gained anymore or lost some of that water.

I feel ya on the feet and ankles.  I had horrible swelling, my doc pulled me off of work at about 36 weeks because of it.  I looked like I had cabbage patch kid doll feet.  A month or so after I gave birth I was so thrilled to actually be able to see the veins and bones in my feet.  It had been so long ;)

Actually I was given it from a friend :) All I know is it was given to her for her child and it was mad expensive. I will try to find the name of the manufacture though.

All the pains and aches we must endure during pregnancy...and once you see that baby, it's so worth it! =) So you could go anytime now!  Wow...I just can't believe the swelling won't go down after all you do. I didn't have any swelling during my pregnancy...then again I was pregnant during the winter and some of the spring...that could be why. Is your doc concerned at all about it or is pretty normal to be that swollen? (I'm clueless in that area!)

37 weeks 5 days. I have been elevating them all day just about everyday. I run the air conditioner too to keep cool during the day and at night in my house. I have even used ice packs... still they stay swollen. They look sickly thin in the morning and then balloon back up. LOL I am keeping these images to show my little girl how much pain mommy went through.

Aw! You poor thing! They are so swollen. And I'm sure the warm weather does not help it in any way. Keep those feet up!! How far along are you now?
