One of the many weird things about pregnancy is how some things seem to happen with the flip of a switch.
I started thinking that I might be moving into swollen ankles-land a few weeks ago, and bought support socks. And I began to notice that my hands were feeling swollen, like they do after a long day at a museum.
Wednesday, I thought, "Oh, this is what they meant about needing to keep your feet up." It seriously went from "Is this a problem? This might be a problem. Maybe I should do something about this" to "Who inflated my feet when I wasn't looking?"
Ha-ha, foot-inflating gnomes, I already have a tall footstool in my cubicle. Now I just have to rearrange things so I can use it while on the computer - it won't fit under the portion of the desk where the monitor currently resides.
Also... should it be considered portentious if one's baby 'shower' coincides with the beginnings of a nor'easter? :)
