T-54ish Days

T-54 days. I went to the doctor yesterday and everything is going well. However, I have been having some swelling in my legs, with my left leg swelling more than the right. My doctor felt that was strange, so I got an ultrasound of my leg. Strange experience, but nothing abnormal was found. My doctor did say that swimming is the best thing I could do for my elephant ankles. Because I am the perfect patient, I thought I would take her up on the advice.

In case you didn't know, the weather in Arizona has finally gotten livable. I love Arizona in October. The highs for the day are mid-high 80s and the lows are mid-60s. I figured the pool at my apartment complex would still be okay, especially because it is supposed to be heated. It wasn't.

Also, there is a reason you do not see maternity large polka dot print shirts. They. Are. Not. Flattering. So I look like a ridiculous with my belly in my swimming suit top. A few weeks ago there was a picture posted; this week there will definitely be no swimming suit picture or possibly ever again.

I think my biggest problem with the swelling is my office job and sitting at a desk all day. Good reason to quit??? If only...

My back has also started hurting in my upper back, right around my shoulder blades. Any advice?

Aawww Im sorry you are swelling. Carter will be here so soon though, and then you will miss being pregnant! Im sure the awful heat hasn't been great with the swelling. Tell Brett he needs to give you a nice massage every night :)
